Chapter 272: Chapter 245: I Died and Came Back to Life (Fourth Update)

"Indeed, it’s precisely because they were present that we could stand firmly in the Fisher Family."

Adam Stephens said this in hopes that Pierce Stephens would not pursue the matter further.

Pierce just looked at Adam and didn’t speak immediately.

Chloe sat there, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

"I warned you before to keep your daughter away from the Slaughter Squad, but now she’s not only closer to them, but also involved with them. After this, think about how the other families will perceive our Stephens Family."

They will certainly suspect the Stephens Family of conspiring with the Slaughter Squad.

"Father, the situation at the time..."

Adam wanted to explain.

Pierce’s eyes were cold, "I won’t allow one family member’s actions to harm the entire family."

"Chloe was taken in by the Fisher Family, and it just so happened that the Slaughter Squad appeared. She had nothing to do with them."

"Whether she was involved or not, you should ask her."

Adam clenched his fists.

"I met him in Mountain County. Is there a problem?"

Pierce frowned slightly.

Adam said awkwardly, "Chloe just happened to meet him, she had no idea he was the captain of the Slaughter Squad."

Regarding his daughter,

Adam was 100% protective.

Right or wrong.

This kind of indulgence made Pierce frown.

"Adam, step out. I want to talk to Chloe alone."

"Father."

Pierce looked at him.

Reluctantly, Adam stood up and used his eyes to reassure Chloe.

In the study,

there were just the young and the old.

"We just found out, that in order to protect you, your father secretly bribed people at the Medical Institute and tampered with Alex’s inspection report," Pierce said.

Chloe’s face didn’t change.

Pierce continued, "For both of you, mother and daughter, your father has lost a lot. Although you are my granddaughter, as the family leader, I have to put the family first in many matters."

Chloe nodded, "I can understand."

Pierce looked at the girl in front of him, his expression somewhat complicated, "That day, before they took action, what you said was clearly heard by me."

Pierce was telling her that the events in Stephens Family were all under his control.

Chloe suddenly looked at him, her tone indifferent, "Since you can find out about a trivial matter like this, why didn’t you take action when my mother and I were being bullied in the family? Was it because we had no value? Or did you hope that we would just disappear so that you could force my father to marry a second wife?"

Pierce’s gaze grew sharp.

"Who told you that?"

"Since you found out, you should know that I, Chloe, am not a fool."

Pierce stared at the girl.

Both grandfather and granddaughter stared at each other for a long time.

"Master Stephens need not worry about my medical skills. I have no interest in the Stephens Family. In the future, the person who will inherit the family won’t be your grandson. There’s no need to worry about the future of the family."

The girl’s voice was cold and clear, without any hint of submission.

It was as if she was originally above Pierce and speaking to him from that position.

Piece looked at the girl for a long time without saying anything.

Chloe stood up, "In Mountain County, the Stephens Family sent several assassins one after another. Does the Master Stephens know about this?"

Pierce frowned.

He really didn’t know about this.

After all, there were many ancient martial artists traveling outside.

People who left every day were not few.

Moreover, among the people who went to assassinate Chloe, there were ordinary people.

Ordinary people were not something the family leader would pay attention to.

"Since you have chosen to abandon us, mother and daughter, from now on, except for matters related to my father, we will have nothing to do with the Stephens Family."

"Those who take action will die."

As the last sentence fell, Chloe left the study.

Pierce sat in his chair, his heart trembling.

So, Chloe was really skilled in medicine.

And not simple at all.

When she said those words just now, she had already told Pierce,

that no one in the Stephens Family, besides her father, could control her actions.

The Stephens Family was not worthy.

She didn’t even acknowledge her own grandfather.

Even though he had his own difficulties.

Recalling the girl’s cold and ruthless eyes,

Pierce couldn’t help feeling that the Stephens Family was going to lose something.

*

At the Taylor Family,

the assistant stood in the Medicine Hall, telling Evan Taylor what had happened in the Fisher Family.

Evan Taylor sneered, "The Fisher Family is overestimating themselves. Since she said it will be destroyed, then it will definitely be destroyed."

The assistant was startled.

He didn’t expect Evan Taylor to agree with Chloe’s words.

Has the family leader been bewitched?

Who doesn’t know that Chloe has something wrong with her brain?

"From now on, report any matters related to Miss Chloe Stephens to me immediately. If any short-sighted kid dares to step up again, I’ll take care of them for Miss Chloe Stephens first."

The assistant’s body shook, "Family leader!"

He really couldn’t understand.

Evan Taylor waved his hand, telling him to get lost.

*

Nightfall.

Chloe walked from Building 3 towards the small building where Alex Stephens was.

Alex had just finished washing up.

Seeing Chloe sitting on the sofa in the small hall, he was also startled.

"How did you get in?"

He was just wrapped in a bath towel.

It exposed the youngster’s excellent physique.

Chloe threw the small notebook in her hand onto the tea table.

Alex went to the house, got dressed, and came out to pick up the item, looking at the words she had copied, and paused.

"What is this?"

"A secret manual."

"..."

Whose secret manual looks like this?

It’s just a little better looking than a cheat sheet.

"Your situation suits this."

"Was it Uncle Adam who asked you to bring it?"

Chloe raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "It was me."

Alex thought of the words he had heard after being severely injured and recovering quickly.

His expression became much more serious, "So, it was really you who saved me."

"Is there a problem?"

"They all say your brain..."

"They’re jealous of me."

"..."

Because of jealousy, they say you’re stupid?

Alex flipped through it.

Looking at the contents, his heart trembled.

"What exactly did you encounter?"

Two years ago, the girl with low intelligence returned completely changed.

"I died and then came back to life."

"..."

Alex was well aware of the hardships of being weak.

Although he was an orphan, he had ancient martial talent.

Chloe was different.

Since childhood, she was determined to have low intelligence and constantly harassed by the family.

Eventually, she was forced to leave the Stephens Family.

As an ordinary person, Chloe’s life, even outside the family, was extremely difficult.

"Thank you."

"Your injuries were partly my fault."

So this was compensation.

"Even without you, Rowan wouldn’t have let me go."

No, he wouldn’t have let anyone stronger than him go.

Chloe looked at him.

Suddenly said, "Make a deal."

"Huh?"

"Become my father’s stepson."

Alex looked at her and said, "Conditions."

"Protect them to the best of your ability."

"With my current capability, I can’t protect them at all."

He was having a hard time protecting himself now.

"You won’t stay stagnant."

"In the family, there are others more suitable than me. Even if Rowan steps down, I won’t..."

"You’re the most suitable one. It’s just a Rowan. If he touches you, he’ll lose his third opportunity."

Alex was shocked, staring at Chloe, with a guess in his heart.

Was Chloe planning to kill Rowan?

However, what Chloe said about the third opportunity was Rowan’s own doing.

Rowan won’t last for more than a few days.
