Chapter 297: Chapter 270: This is Not a Transaction (Part 1)

"The little girl said that?"

After hearing Liam Lynch’s words, Old Lynch’s eyebrows knit together, forming a layer of faint darkness.

"That’s what Chloe responded."

"We, the Lynch Family, do business openly. We can’t push all the responsibility on our employer."

"I will arrange for a group of people to specifically watch over the Winston Family. The Stephens Family is now under control, with the Slaughter Squad dwelling in their home. Chloe wants to leave Sheffield City, but she has no way out."

Old Lynch nodded, "Keep an eye on them, and don’t let the Winston Family take advantage of this and make the little girl make a mistake."

"I understand."

After Liam left, he met up with Emily Lynch.

He also discussed the matter with her.

Emily said, "I’ll personally go and watch over Chloe."

"We, the Lynch Family, should not expose ourselves too much on the surface, and even more so, avoid excessive contact. Otherwise, the Stephens Family might take advantage of this point to trouble Chloe, and then it will become our fault."

"Elder brother, you have considered this thoroughly. As soon as there is any news from the people watching in secret, immediately inform me."

Liam nodded his head and changed the topic, asking, "Is there any news from the Webb Family?"

"We probably won’t be able to find the person," Emily pondered for a moment, and added, "Madison Webb has a special identity. If people in Sheffield City become aware of it, they will definitely target the Webb Family."

By then, they, the Lynch Family, would have to help as well.

"Hide the matter about Chloe from Brandon Weston for now."

"Elder brother?"

"I know you and your husband share the same heart, but avoiding conflicts with the Weston Family is inevitable because of this matter. I can trust Brandon’s character, but I can’t trust the others in the Weston Family."

If the people of the Weston Family were to inform the Stephens Family about this matter, Chloe’s troubles would only continue.

Emily could only nod her head.

Carl Stephens had some free time today and came to have tea with Pierce Stephens.

After drinking two cups, he slowly brought up the matter regarding Chloe.

"Pierce, I heard that Chloe has been getting closer to the Lynch Family recently. Someone saw her in contact with Liam Lynch. Do you, as elders, know anything about this?"

Pierce furrowed his brows.

Just two days ago, Charlotte Richardson invited Chloe to move into Building 2, but Chloe refused on the spot.

The next day, Adam Stephens and Yvette Foster came and insisted, but still could not persuade her.

Other students would have been eager to move in.

But not Chloe, she directly refused.

At that time, Pierce couldn’t describe how it felt. Today, hearing Carl’s words, his brows furrowed even more.

"Even if she is in contact with the Lynch Family, it’s not a big deal. Chloe is studying at the same high school as the Lynch kid, who was injured in her class. Classmates visiting each other in such a situation is nothing special."

"But I heard that there’s another matter involved? I didn’t inquire about the specifics. It’s fine to be in contact with the Lynch Family, but recently there seem to be some grudges between the Lynch and the Winston Families in Lych City. During such a sensitive period, it’s best to have less contact to avoid implicating everyone, like in Building 11."

Carl’s words were obvious.

Even a three-year-old could understand.

If something were to happen again, Pierce would have to bear joint responsibility.

Pierce glanced at Carl and his expression became obscure, "I’ll make sure Adam takes care of Chloe’s situation."

Carl spoke with deep concern, "Pierce, when you were the family leader, everyone respected you. Now it’s not the time to be held back by the younger generation and lead the Stephens Family to regress."

Pierce calmly picked up a cup of tea, replying, "I will keep brother’s reminder in mind."

At noon after school.

Chloe led a few people to a courtyard-style place to practice martial arts.

This place was specifically found by Abigail Wilson’s relatives and was an ancient-style restaurant.

Courtyard-style, it was very suitable for them to close the doors and practice alone.

Ava Sanders and Abigail Wilson sat at the table, eating fruit while watching them take up martial arts stances.

They looked quite skillful.

It wasn’t like the way it was portrayed on television, where they needed to meditate or anything— they directly started practicing techniques.

Only Mason Sullivan and the others dared to learn such unimaginable things with Chloe. If it were anyone else, they would surely treat Chloe as a madwoman.

"Chloe, can I learn this too?"

Ava, seeing them practicing skillfully, walked up and asked.

Even if just for fitness, she could learn something.

Chloe reached out and measured Ava’s pulse, then suddenly pressed a few major acupoints on her body. She took a medicine pill out from her pocket and put it in Ava’s mouth, all in the blink of an eye.

Ava was stunned and quickly came back to her senses, "Chloe... what did you just give me?"

"Medicine."

"..."

"USD 600,000, in debt."

"..."

She was still a student, yet she owed USD 600,000 so inexplicably.

"You can learn with them, the moves are in this."

Chloe threw down a self-written secret manual, one for each person.

Seeing this, Abigail Wilson also chose to join.

Nightfall.

Chloe returned to the Stephens family home.

Alex Stephens was delivering items and talking to Yvette Foster and others inside.

"Chloe, you’re back. How was school today? Tired? Mom made you some sugar water."

Chloe put down her schoolbag, looked at Alex, and asked Adam: "When is Alex coming over?"

Adam said, "We’re discussing it right now."

"Move in tomorrow."

"Chloe, there’s a process for adoption..."

"Adopting him as a godfather."

Chloe looked at Alex and said indifferently.

Alex: "..."

"In the Stephens family, you can’t mess around."

Yvette Foster saw that Chloe really liked Alex and looked at him as if he were her own son.

Alex was different from Rowan, he was indeed sincere and outstanding.

Not pretentious.

Adam said, "I’ll mention it to your grandfather tomorrow, and there’s no need to go through the elder’s group. Alex, you can move to Building 3 the day after."

Yvette Foster somewhat disagreed, "Going directly over the elder’s group, everyone will have an opinion about you."

She didn’t dislike Alex, but the premise was that Adam wouldn’t be affected. She couldn’t afford to take risks just because her daughter said a word.

Chloe sat down on the sofa, crossing her legs, "I’ll accompany you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Adam nodded.

Yvette Foster couldn’t help but feel worried.

Adam pampered Chloe too much.

*

The next day.

Chloe called Abigail Wilson again and asked for a half-day leave.

Abigail could only lie shamelessly to the headteacher.

Building 2.

Charlotte Richardson hung up the phone and turned to see the people who had just come in.

Surprised, she went out to greet them.

"Mom."

"Sixth Granny!"

Chloe nodded slightly, not calling anyone else.

"Are you here to see Pierce?"

"Is dad not here?" Adam looked inside.

"He’s in the study, go on in."

Seeing Alex coming with them, Charlotte knew what was going on.

Entering the study, Adam directly raised the matter of Alex with Pierce.

According to Adam’s meaning, it was fine if Pierce agreed, and if he didn’t, they would only accept Alex, and then cram other people in, Building 3 wouldn’t accept them.

Pierce’s eyes swept sharply over everyone and said, "Today, I can mention it to the elder’s group, but on one condition: Chloe must move in."

"This is not a transaction," Chloe stood in front, speaking coldly.

Pierce’s eyes turned and met Chloe’s, "In the Stephens family, any interest is linked to the family. The resources you enjoy are provided by the Stephens family. You, as an individual, do not belong to yourself, but to the entire Stephens family. Your every word and action affect the entire large family. Chloe, let me ask you, are you getting closer to the Lynch family? First, you had a relationship with the Slaughter Squad, and now you’re involved with the Lynch family. Shouldn’t you explain to your family?"

As soon as these words fell, the study suddenly fell silent.
