Chapter 37 - 37 035 Because He Has a Weak Spot
Chapter 37: Chapter 035: Because He Has a Weak Spot Chapter 37: Chapter 035: Because He Has a Weak Spot After seeing off the two members of the Taylor Family, it was nearly 5 o’clock in the morning.
Adam Stephens didn’t care about Jeremy Jennings’ injuries at all.
Jeremy, as the chief bodyguard of Pierce Stephens, was highly valued by him, showing his extraordinary skills.
Sometimes, this man even had more power than Pierce’s own son.
Adam was curious about where in the mountain county Jeremy had gone and what had attacked him, that they were able to injure him and others so badly.
If a solution wasn’t found, Jeremy’s true Qi would fail at any time, creating a huge impact on him.
The position of the first bodyguard around Pierce might not be preserved.
“Dad, I have nothing to do with this, I’m leaving.”
Adam flicked the non-existent dust off his sleeve and turned to leave.
Pierce said coldly, “Stay and listen.”
Adam glanced at Rowan Stephens standing on the other side, “Rowan’s presence here is enough.”
Leaving these words, Adam stepped past Rowan and walked out.
With a gloomy look, Pierce thought his son was becoming more and more perfunctory towards him.
Rowan was Adam’s stepson and had no affection for him.
Whenever it came to family education, Adam had to get involved personally, making him feel frustrated.
Yet, due to the demands of the family, he had no choice.
Because he had weaknesses.
And he was destined to be restrained.

“Patriarch, Mr.
Adam will eventually understand your hard work,” Jeremy Jennings comforted Pierce Stephens.
Pierce’s face was still gloomy.
He instructed his assistant, Elliot Xenos, to record the conversation and pass it to Adam later.
From this alone, Rowan, the adopted son, understood that Adam was still the first choice for inheritance in Pierce’s eyes.
“Check out the ‘WORLD’ website that the Taylor Family mentioned.”
“Yes, sir.”
As soon as Pierce’s words fell, Jeremy wanted to ask something, but Elliot followed Pierce’s order promptly, cutting off any words Jeremy wanted to say.
Elliot held a position similar to a butler in Pierce’s household, second only to Jeremy.
With Jeremy in his current state, he was very worried that his position would be replaced at any time.
Jeremy clenched his fists silently.

The online hot topic about Sheffield City High School continued to grow even more popular recently.
[So, where did the money come from for the girl who was rumored to be supported financially?]
[Because of the Gong father and daughter’s drama, everyone completely ignored this matter, I suspect that the rumored girl hired an expert to erase her stains.]
[I agree with the previous opinion.]
[+1]
[Go check out @TailSwingingDragon’s page.]
Everyone followed this comment to the mentioned account.
@TailSwingingDragon was an account that had exposed an event in Sheffield City.
Known as the “Wealthy Family Grill Master” for gossip on the rich, they had become very popular.
With millions of fans.
Upon entering, they saw the first post revealing gossip about Chloe Stephens and the wealthy Stephens Family.
[Wow!
I thought she was being supported financially, turns out she’s from a wealthy family!]
[Born in such a wealthy family, it’s no problem for her to buy villas, let alone islands.]
[Did you all not see?
The informer said that she’s the black sheep of the Stephens Family, and was rumored to have a mental issue and was kicked out.]
Sarcastic and envious comments quickly took up the majority of the comment section below.
Even people comparing a few other young ladies in the same social circle.

Students from Sheffield City High School naturally saw this hot search ranking third in popularity.
“Oliver, look,” Mason Sullivan clicked the topic, handing it to Oliver Gordon who was working on a problem.
When Oliver saw the hot search, his brows slightly furrowed, showing no reaction.
Mason looked at Chloe’s seat, the girl laying on her desk with a book blocking her face, she was either sleeping or pretending to sleep.
As Mason glanced at her delicate and fair neck beneath the sunlight from the window, the white, radiant glow of her skin seemed to tempt people.
Mason quickly looked down and continued to read the comments.
Marcella Thomas gripped her phone tightly, and glanced at the sleeping girl.
A strong jealously was revealed in her eyes.
How could someone with a mental issue be so lucky?
It was so unfair.
Then she thought,
So what if she was from a wealthy family; she was still kicked out now, sharing the same situation as them, and not even half as successful as they were.
Her academic performance was even worse.
Comparing themselves like this, Marcella felt that she was better than Chloe by a lot.

Noon after school.
Chloe Stephens stood inside the campus waiting for Hans Foster.
Today was the day she and Yvette Foster moved into the villa, and Hans Foster and Lindsay Foster planned to help them move.
In fact, the mother and daughter didn’t have much stuff, and it could all be carried on an electric bike.
Kate Williams saw her from a distance and ran up to her, suppressing her anger.
“Chloe, what do you mean?”
Chloe raised her eyes and looked at her indifferently.
Kate Williams was even more annoyed by her attitude, “Was it you who asked Remi Jefferson to take my compensation privately?”
“Shouldn’t I?”
“You are shameless,” Kate Williams scolded angrily, “Chloe, I didn’t expect you to be such a person.
I clearly didn’t do anything and received such treatment.
How could there be someone like you in our school?”
Due to the injustice, Kate Williams’ eyes turned red.
People in the distance couldn’t hear Kate Williams’ words and thought that Chloe was bullying her.
Male classmates who admired Kate Williams ran over.
Hans Foster saw people surrounding Chloe, then ran over and yelled at the seniors: “What are you doing?”
Kate Williams pretended to be pitiful, pulling at two male classmates with red eyes, “Chloe didn’t bully me, I got sand in my eyes!”
Only then did the male classmates stay away from Chloe.
They had also seen the trending topic online and knew that Chloe Stephens was the young Miss of Sheffield City’s Stephens Family.
Even if she was kicked out of the family, the people in their small county town would not dare to do anything to her.
“Cousin, did they do anything to you?”
Chloe glanced at him and shook her head.

With Megan Gibson’s clamor, Yvette Foster packed her bags, said a word to Fred Foster, and moved with her daughter.
Fred Foster was recovering at home and didn’t go with them.
He was furious when he heard the conversation between Megan Gibson and Xavier Foster at home.
Megan Gibson and Xavier Foster stopped quarreling.
Wilbert Foster, however, took a strong view of this issue.
Upon entering the villa district of Serene Residence, Lindsay Foster’s eyes couldn’t take it all in.
“Wow!
Cousin, the villa you bought is so beautiful!” Lindsay Foster was still a child, running around the villa.
Hans Foster was more restrained as a boy and older, but the envy in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.
At this moment, Yvette Foster also felt unprecedented relaxation.
Turning her head with a smile, she looked at her daughter and imagined their future together.

After moving into the villa, Chloe prepared for making medicine.
In the evening, Chloe brought the medicine materials from the snake-skin bag into the villa.
She sat in front of the computer and opened the encrypted webpage of the “WORLD” website.
Her post had sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Replacing it was another post directly on top of the food ingredient section’s first page.
Clicking in.
It was a long string of introductions to medicines and their effects.
This poster called “Miraculous Rejuvenation” updated a post every once in a while.
They were all edible medicines.
The effects had all received genuine feedback.
It even attracted mysterious families or mysterious people to buy.
His medicines were specifically for ancient martial artists.
Some ordinary people secretly tried them, resulting in their body exploding.
Since then, ordinary people dared not buy his medicines.
The prices he offered were very expensive.
There was a reason for the high prices, as all kinds of injuries and illnesses improved after taking his medicines.
Some more magical medicines would be auctioned online.
The highest bidder would win.
Chloe found her post.
Because she set the price low, there were still people who wanted to buy it initially.
As the post sank to the bottom, some people changed their minds.
Only three people were interested in buying and indicated that they were ordinary people.
People who could access the WORLD website were not ordinary.
Chloe replied to the three people, asking them to send their addresses in private messages, pay half the price upfront, and pay the rest when they achieve the expected effect.
Logging out, Chloe accidentally saw a stock trading pop-up ad on her computer.
Her expression slightly changed.
She turned off the computer.
Jumping down from the second floor of the villa.
At her feet, the black cat silently appeared, dragging black smoke.
“Meow.”
The lights on the roadside flickered a few times.
The cat’s fur suddenly exploded.
The colours of the black and purple eyes deepened.
The cat let out a low attack sound in one direction.
Chloe looked over and saw a few green eyes peek out from the corner.
Slowly moving her gaze upward, she saw two figures crouching on the roof, holding guns in their hands and aiming at her.
What do you think?
