Chapter 224: Chapter 197: What kind of holiday is this? (3rd Update)

"Elder brother has prepared a gift for you..."

"I’ve already entered the Stephens home."

"..."

"Another day."

Len Hawthorne glanced at the gift beside him and asked, "Is there something going on in the Stephens family?"

Chloe suddenly fell silent.

"What is it?"

"Are you watching the Stephens family?"

Len Hawthorne chuckled quietly, "Elder brother is protecting Little Chloe."

Chloe raised her eyebrows, "Your people aren’t following me."

Would she not know if someone was watching her?

Another lie.

As expected, pretty men mostly can’t be trusted when they speak.

"Elder brother indeed arranged for someone to enter the Stephens family, and all the major families have people keeping an eye on them." But they didn’t dare get too close, for fear of being detected.

"We’re almost there."

"Call elder brother if you need anything."

Chloe had already hung up the phone.

Len Hawthorne: "..."

"Team Hawthorne."

A team member waited for Len Hawthorne to put down his mobile phone before entering, "There’s some movement from the Winston Family."

Len Hawthorne asked, "Where did the people go?"

"They just secretly went in another direction, not into Sheffield City."

Len Hawthorne raised his eyebrows, "Keep an eye on them."

They’re restless again.

Right after Jimmy Turner’s people withdrew from Lych City, the Winston Family couldn’t wait to make a move.

"This gift..."

The team member pointed at the gift beside him, hesitating to speak.

Len Hawthorne admitted very generously, "To celebrate a little with Little Chloe."

"Celebrate?"

Her birthday?

"It’s been more than half a year since we first met."

"..."

What kind of weird holiday is that?

No, wait.

Today is mid-Autumn!

The team member looked at his team captain strangely.

Len Hawthorne didn’t walk for long today before coming back, suddenly preparing such a thoughtful gift for the little girl.

Who knows what his motivation is?

Could it be that he’s really taken a liking to the little girl?

Len Hawthorne placed the cigarette between his lips, squinting at the big and round moon outside.

Mid-Autumn, reunion.

And him?

What is he doing here?

Len Hawthorne let out a chuckle.

A bit cold, a bit lonely.

*

After hanging up the phone, Chloe held her mobile phone lost in thought.

Why is Len Hawthorne acting out of the ordinary?

And he prepared a gift for her?

"What day is it today?"

The driver in the front was startled, "Miss Chloe Stephens, are you asking me?"

"Yes."

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the banquet at home is to celebrate Mid-Autumn."

Mid-Autumn.

She remembered reading about it, the meaning of reunion.

Chloe thought carefully about Len’s tone during the call just now.

It seemed a bit melancholic?

Perhaps she was mistaken.

Looking out of the window, Chloe saw the hanging full moon as expected.

*

After getting out of the car,

the people inside the building came out.

"Chloe, you’re back!"

Rowan Stephens greeted her with a fake smile, looking a bit impatient.

Chloe gave him a cold glance.

"Chloe!"

Yvette Foster appeared, wearing a light purple skirt and a delicate makeup on her face.

"Now that you’re back, go change into a formal dress and join us," Adam Stephens said.

"No need, I’m fine like this."

She would have to leave again later.

"Chloe, wearing this..." Yvette wanted to say it was not suitable.

"Go change, it’s a dress your mother prepared especially for you."

Chloe was silent for a moment and then went to change.

*

Chloe looked at herself in the mirror, her expression indifferent.

Yvette, however, was both surprised and delighted: "I never thought it would suit you so well! Chloe, this is a matching mother-daughter set for you and me! They’re both light purple! I originally wanted to have someone design a set specifically for us, but there wasn’t enough time, so I bought two sets outside."

Chloe said, "Good taste."

"Right! I also think you look stunning in this set!"

Yvette looked at her tall and beautiful daughter and her eyes filled with tears.

Chloe’s face was incredibly fair and delicate, like cream, seemingly dripping water.

Her eyes were deep and mysterious, and her delicate eyebrows paired with those eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky!

In short.

Yvette Foster’s daughter was the most perfect person!

As both mother and daughter came out wearing matching dresses, Adam walked up to them with a smile, standing between them with one hand on each, his face beaming with happiness. Adam with such charm!

Rowan’s face changed slightly as he looked at the family of three.

Now, he seemed even more redundant.

Chloe’s hand rested on Adam’s arm, glancing sideways at him, her eyes flashing for a moment before returning to calmness.

The family of three got in the car, squeezing Rowan into another one, completely excluding him.

Rowan slowly clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and then strode towards the car in front of him.

*

Stephens Central Building.

The central building was generally used for daily banquets.

Usually, everyone would come here to learn etiquette and other things.

"They’re here!"

Someone suddenly pointed to the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Rowan has become more and more arrogant lately, neglecting his duties, and not paying attention to everyone."

The group of people who were being trained as heirs stared at the entrance, frowning when they saw Rowan following the family of three.

"He recognized an ordinary person as his mother and got a cheap sister, completely losing face."

"By holding the position of stepson, he enjoys the benefits no matter where he goes."

"Tsk, I really admire his endurance to withstand such a situation!"

"If you were in his place, wouldn’t you accept such benefits?"

The others fell silent.

The appearance of the family of three instantly became the focus.

But just for that moment, everyone quickly shifted their gaze.

Bringing Yvette and her daughter to such a place would only cause Adam embarrassment.

"Adam."

Some relatives called Adam over.

Being the only son of Pierce Stephens, Adam was always surrounded by those who tried to ingratiate themselves with him.

Even though some of them had called Adam a "eunuch" behind his back, they still pretended to be friendly on the surface.

Adam knew their true colors, but since they were all members of the family, he had to pretend along with them.

"You go ahead, Chloe and I will walk around."

Seeing that her husband rarely socialized with others, Yvette encouraged Adam to mingle on his own.

Adam said, "If you need anything, just come and find me."

"I will."

Adam wanted to take Chloe with him, but he had to consider Rowan’s position as the heir.

If Chloe were to follow him, she would undoubtedly attract envy within the Stephens Family in the future.

"Rowan, let’s go over there."

Rowan nodded slightly at Chloe, a certain look flashing in his eyes.

See?

What if she was Adam’s biological daughter? In such situations, he would still choose Rowan, and she was nothing more than a useless person who couldn’t stand on her own.

Chloe ignored Rowan’s flaunting.

"Chloe, let’s go over there."

In the Stephens home, no one would approach both mother and daughter.

That gave them some peace and quiet.

After sitting down, Yvette asked Chloe how her weekend in Mountain County had been.

Chloe casually picked out some highlights.

"Mom, I had a bit too much fruit wine just now. I’ll go to the bathroom first."

"I’ll go with you."

"No need, you can just wait here for a while."

Chloe nodded.

After Yvette left for a while, Chloe glanced at the clock in front of her.

She didn’t bring her mobile phone.

So, she couldn’t check messages.

*

"Chloe."

The rest area was very quiet.

That was because everyone was busy chatting at the front.

The divided area was very spacious, making the place exceptionally quiet.

Chloe looked up to see Kelly and a few other boys and girls walking towards her.

They were cousins who usually played with Kelly.

"Hello, Chloe, I’m your cousin Jayden," a boy of the same age as Chloe extended his hand to shake hers.

Chloe ignored him.

Jayden raised his eyebrows.

Among these people, Jayden had even more reason to be arrogant than Kelly.

For he, like Rowan, was also one of the potential heirs.

However, his examination results this time were middling, far behind Rowan’s.

Chloe’s indifference instantly provoked a wave of anger in Jayden.

Jayden said coldly, "I’m being polite to you by saying hello, Chloe. Don’t be ungrateful."

Ancient martial artists, once they decided to take action, they didn’t hesitate.

Jayden’s face changed, and he reached out to grab Chloe.

However, as soon as his hand extended, it seemed to touch something that pricked his skin, and he quickly withdrew it.

"You..."

Jayden’s face changed.

Everyone else hesitated, "Jayden, are you okay?"

Jayden felt that it was just an illusion just now, and said indifferently: "What could happen to me? Humph, she’s just a cripple, daring to ignore us, seeking her own death."

"Bang!"

Just as Jayden was about to attack the girl, he was suddenly repelled by a force.

He crashed heavily into the food table in front of him, making a loud noise.

Everyone at the front turned to look, the atmosphere suddenly becoming quiet.
