Chapter 282: Chapter 255: Old Madam Stephens (1 more)

Western Europe.

Outside the border between two nations.

Henry Basil and Mallory stood on this land again, feeling a wave of strangeness.

"Do we need to split up?"

Mallory felt that it would be safer if they acted together.

Henry Basil wore a cold expression and ignored him.

He had been like this since they left Herta Kingdom.

Mallory was quite upset about it.

"Miss Chloe Stephens asked us to block any mercenaries and assassination attempts from entering Herta Kingdom. There are many assassins in Western Europe, and we can’t overlook any suspicious traces."

"I know," Mallory said irritably, "We are now equal, you can’t order me around."

Henry Basil glared at him coldly, "If you mess up Chloe’s mission, I won’t spare you."

"That line should be spoken by me, Henry Basil. I am no longer loyal to the Synder Family... No, I have never been loyal to the Synder Family. I just paid high tuition fees to study in the Synder Family."

Henry Basil glanced at him sidelong and didn’t bother with him anymore.

They didn’t go into the interior but walked along the border between Herta Kingdom and Western Europe.

The Synder Family acted quickly.

That night, many suspicious organizations headed towards Herta Kingdom.

Henry Basil and Mallory, as witches, silently eliminated many people.

The Synder Family hired ordinary people.

No traces of witches were found, nor were there any with special abilities.

Upon receiving a report from Henry Basil, Chloe Stephens did not issue any other orders.

She just told them to continue to watch outside.

People from the Stephens Family returned one after another.

Today, Adam received a phone call from his mother and went to pick her up at the airport with Yvette Foster.

Chloe did not go to the airport and went to school instead.

"Chloe, Franklin will be participating in the provincial season in Sheffield City. Did he tell you?"

"Provincial season?"

"A basketball game."

Abigail Wilson was puzzled.

She was the one who met Franklin and the others last, but Chloe knew even less than her.

"When is it."

"This Saturday."

"I’ll find time to go."

"What’s going on at your home recently?" Abigail Wilson saw Chloe leave every day after class.

"Some things."

Abigail Wilson knew she couldn’t ask about this matter.

Abigail Wilson looked at Cecilia Taylor’s previous seat.

Ever since Cecilia Taylor mysteriously left, the class monitor candidate was still undecided.

Abigail Wilson remembered her conversation with the headteacher and had a troubled expression on her face.

"Chloe, the headteacher wants me to take over the class monitor position."

This position was really not lovely, and Abigail Wilson didn’t want to take it.

"Hm?"

"The headteacher still hopes that you can take over."

"Not interested."

She was lazy.

Abigail Wilson was caught between laughter and tears.

"If you don’t take the position, I have to take it. The headteacher is forcing us."

"It’s nice."

"It’s hard and thankless work," Abigail Wilson scratched her hair, very annoyed.

Chloe didn’t seem to sympathize at all.

*

Golden Villa District.

Chloe took leave from her evening self-study period and came to the villa to refine medicine.

The black cat nestled in another room live broadcasting.

Recently, it rarely appeared in the live broadcasting room, so the young ladies watching the broadcast treasured every live session.

A young lady requested that the black cat’s master post a short video.

The black cat looked over at that small room.

It thought that the request was simply extravagant.

Adam and Yvette picked up Old Madam Stephens and brought her back to the Stephens family at noon. The family banquet was prepared by Pierce Stephens.

Old Madam Stephens, Charlotte Richardson, glanced around the room but didn’t see Chloe and Rowan Stephens.

She asked Adam, "Adam, where are Rowan and Chloe?"

Charlotte is over sixty this year, but she looked no more than fifty.

"Rowan is seriously injured, and Chloe is still at school."

"How did Rowan get seriously injured? Who would dare to do this to him in the Stephens family?"

Hearing this, Charlotte furrowed her brows tightly.

Adam looked at Pierce Stephens.

It was evident that Pierce had not told Charlotte about this.

"I’ll explain it to you later."

Charlotte nodded.

After taking a few bites, she thought of something, "How did Chloe end up at an outside school?"

"Chloe’s health is already good, and there is no discomfort in going around outside."

Charlotte glanced at Adam, then at Yvette, her voice was somewhat faint, "Yvette, since you’re back, don’t make a fuss like before, letting Adam run errands for you. He’s already having a hard time managing the company. At home, he can’t even eat a bite of warm food, let alone clean up the mess for you and your daughter."

Yvette nodded, "I’ll be more careful."

"I heard that you can practice ancient martial arts now, how have you adapted to it?"

"I’m already very stable."

Charlotte asked, and Yvette answered briefly.

Throughout the conversation, there was nothing that went wrong.

*

After lunch, it was already close to one o’clock.

Charlotte and Pierce entered the study room.

"I’ve been to so many places, but I haven’t been able to find a reliable method."

Charlotte’s expression was somber.

Pierce said, "Let’s not be anxious, let’s wait a little longer."

Charlotte’s tone turned cold, "If Kelly hadn’t made a mistake, everyone wouldn’t have to suffer."

"She was taken away by the Slaughter Squad, and with the crime she committed, there is no way out."

"If the Slaughter Squad hadn’t taken her away, the Stephens Family wouldn’t have let her go either."

She brought harm to many people.

Charlotte paused for a moment, then asked, "What exactly happened with Rowan?"

After being adopted by Adam, Rowan had been performing very well.

When they first arrived at Building 3, he was particularly close to Charlotte.

Charlotte quite liked Rowan.

Pierce briefly explained the situation.

Charlotte frowned deeply.

"While Alex is a good kid, he didn’t have any reason to outdo Rowan."

Alex wasn’t very talkative and appeared cold, which didn’t make the elders fond of him.

Due to losing his parents at a young age, he sometimes appeared a bit gloomy.

Comparatively, Charlotte preferred Rowan.

Chloe’s demeanor before leaving the Stephens Family was similar to that of Alex.

But Chloe was more timid.

She could hide in a corner all day without uttering a word.

Her presence felt gloomy.

And somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, Chloe was her biological granddaughter.

When Charlotte had anything good, she would also share it with Chloe.

She also tried to connect with her.

Perhaps because Chloe only came home during the New Year holidays, there was little time spent together.

So, Charlotte wasn’t really that close to Chloe.

Pierce said, "Chloe gets along with Alex, so I’ve already allowed her to be adopted under Adam’s name."

"Will the elders agree to that?"

"Rowan probably won’t last much longer, even if he does, it will be difficult for him to recover like before."

Charlotte wasn’t home.

All the news she heard came from other people’s mouths.

She wasn’t sure which parts were true or false.

After pondering for a moment, Charlotte said, "I’ll go see Rowan’s condition tonight."

Pierce nodded.

*

At night.

Chloe came out of her room.

She didn’t smell any food and frowned slightly.

She had forgotten that there was no one to make fried rice for her anymore.

After leaving the villa and returning to the Stephens Family home.

She got off the car outside the gate.

She saw several cars parked outside.

She guessed it was her never-met-before grandmother who had arrived.

Upon entering, she saw people coming down from the second floor.

Among them were doctors from the Medical Institute.

They were explaining Rowan’s situation to Charlotte.

Charlotte listened with a frown.

Looking towards the door, she saw Chloe standing there.

After nearly three years of not seeing her,

Chloe had grown into a tall and beautiful young lady.

Her appearance had matured, even more stunning.

Even her gaze when looking at people had become cold.

The timid look from her memory had already faded away.
