Chapter 95: Chapter 077: Entering the Village in the Dark (3 more updates)

"Chloe, wait up."

Outside the school gate, Kate Williams caught up with Chloe Stephens and blocked her way.

Quite a few people passed by and looked over.

Kate pointed to an open space nearby: "Let’s talk over there."

Chloe didn’t move an inch.

Kate felt a little uneasy.

"Can you give me two minutes? I have something to say to you."

Chloe stood aside but didn’t walk towards the open space.

Seeing that, Kate had no choice but to stand beside her, "Chloe, I’ve heard that you’re buying another house. My sister has already reserved an employee discount for you. If you think it’s suitable, you can make a down payment today."

Kate’s matter-of-fact and somewhat bossy attitude made it hard for people to like her.

Chloe walked past her, not intending to pay any attention to this lunatic.

"Chloe, stop!" Kate’s voice suddenly rose, attracting the gazes of those around, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Kate clenched her fists, watching Chloe enter the school.

*

Inside the school, Kate bumped into Oliver Gordon.

Feeling wronged from being ignored earlier, her eyes welled up with tears and she spoke with a nasal tone: "Oliver, Chloe took the money from the Williams Family to buy a house again. My sister kindly offered her an employee discount, but she just cursed at me and my sister... "

Oliver didn’t feel any better either.

Mentioning Chloe, his expression instantly soured.

With her eyes downcast, Kate didn’t notice Oliver’s change in expression.

She continued: "Oliver, can you tell Chloe to get this done today? My sister can’t break her promise. It was already agreed upon, and now she suddenly doesn’t want to go. My sister is in a difficult position. As long as you speak up, Chloe will definitely listen."

After all, the fact that Chloe was fond of Oliver wasn’t a secret in the school.

Oliver furrowed his brows: "Chloe’s affairs have nothing to do with me. Don’t come to me about her issues in the future. We’re not the same kind of people. You don’t need to put her on my side."

"But Chloe has always liked you, and she’ll listen to whatever you say. Oliver, help me out this once."

"Who Chloe buys a house from has nothing to do with me," Oliver had also had enough of Kate’s self-righteous behavior. Anger surged in his heart, and soon he couldn’t hold back his distaste, "Class is starting soon. Don’t worry about your sister’s affairs either."

With that, he strode further inside.

Because the Williams Family still supplied medicine to the hospital, dealing with Oliver’s father, they had considerable power at the hospital.

It was precisely because of this that he had to maintain a good relationship with Kate.

Kate’s recent actions had disgusted him.

If not for the sake of the relationship between the two families, he wouldn’t have gotten close to Kate at school.

Staring blankly at Oliver’s retreating figure, Kate realized that his attitude towards her had changed.

The members of the Hawthorne Family were injured.

They were inexplicably wounded.

That day.

There was no reaction from the Imperial Capital.

The Webb Family was also in a difficult position.

Several members of the Hawthorne Family came to stay at the Webb Family in mountain county, which was an honor for the Webb family.

Now that the members of the Hawthorne Family were injured, the Webb Family had to bear the main responsibility.

Madison Webb’s condition was also severe, and Evelyn Weston was somewhat overwhelmed.

The main family wasn’t there, and the villa was just a temporary residence that the Webb Family bought for Albert Webb.

"Mom, they’ve been admitted to the hospital, and I’ve hired someone to take care of them. There won’t be any problems."

Albert had just returned from the hospital, looking somewhat tired.

Evelyn also came downstairs after taking care of Madison, "Albert, several people from the Hawthorne Family were injured unexpectedly. There must be someone plotting against them. Call your dad and warn him to be on guard in Sheffield City. Once they find any other family making moves behind the scenes, eliminate them immediately. At the same time, our Webb Family has to give an explanation to the Hawthorne Family, or it’ll be hard for you to enter the Imperial Capital in the future."

Evelyn had raised this adopted daughter in hope that she could enter the Imperial Capital. In Sheffield City, the Webb Family was on the fringe of a medium-sized noble family.

She believed that with the efforts of her children, the Webb Family would surely grow stronger under her guidance.

"I’ll talk to Dad about the situation with the Hawthorne Family members," Albert took out his mobile phone and went upstairs.

"Go check on your sister. She just woke up for a while and was asking for you."

"Okay."

Albert was a bit impatient.

He suddenly wondered if the incident was caused by Madison’s scheming backfiring.

Otherwise, who would target her out of the blue?

Albert didn’t go to see Madison, but instead made a call to the Webb Family in Sheffield City.

Hospital.

Jasper Hawthorne and the others lay in bed with ugly expressions, their limbs injured.

"Jasper, he must have attacked us from behind."

"That’s right, he must know we came to the mountain county."

"Apart from him, who else would dare to take action against us?"

Whoever dared to take action against them knowing they were from the Imperial Capital Hawthorne Family was truly bold.

Jasper Hawthorne frowned and gritted his teeth, "No matter who did this, we cannot let this go."

"Should we inform the family?"

"Do you think the people in the Imperial Capital don’t know we were injured here?"

Imperial Capital Hawthorne Family members know everything.

They wanted to use them as the front line.

Now they finally understood that they should not have gone near the guest house and Len Hawthorne, they should have stayed as far away as possible.

Otherwise, they would be affected by his bad luck.

"Once our injuries heal, we must leave the mountain county."

This place was too dangerous.

Everyone unanimously agreed with Jasper Hawthorne’s words.

*

The car drove into River East Village.

It stopped at the village entrance.

Some barriers were set up at the entrance to prevent large vehicles from entering, allowing only electric bikes and local vehicles to pass through.

Turning on the flashlight, Len Hawthorne stretched out his hand.

Chloe Stephens avoided his movement.

She walked beside him.

Staring at the pitch-black entrance, she was certain this was not an attempt to make her commit a theft.

Why did they have to come at midnight?

"Stay close. Don’t blame me if you run into a ghost and I’m not able to grab your hand."

Chloe glanced at him, "What are we looking for exactly?"

"I don’t know."

He just wanted to search.

Chloe followed him silently from behind.

They circled around from another path towards the location of the Divinity Temple.

"Shasha."

The night wind blew, rustling the treetops.

Chloe’s hand was grabbed, his hand surprisingly warm and broad, his grip just right.

Raising her head, she saw the evildoer smiling at her.

"Better to hold onto you so you don’t get scared and run away."

Chloe withdrew her hand, "Disgusting."

Len Hawthorne: "..."

He just wanted to protect the little girl, that’s all.

He didn’t think of anything else.

Chloe didn’t care about what he was looking for, she would accompany him to the end.

They arrived in front of the Divinity Temple.

It looked the same as the day they had come.

But she remembered very clearly that Len Hawthorne was not restricted by the barrier.

He easily walked in, just like an ordinary person.

Len Hawthorne raised his flashlight, illuminating the wooden plaque in front of him, "I’ve always felt that there’s something strange about this place."

Chloe stood in front of the no-word plaque, "Where?"

"Underground."

His slender fingers pointed to the ground.

Chloe looked in the direction he was pointing and couldn’t help but glance at him again.

There were indeed things beneath them.

Many things he couldn’t imagine, that would have been worth some money in the past.

Now, if dug up, they would be cultural relics.

So for her, there really was nothing there.
