Chapter 56: Chapter 052: That Thing is After You (1 more)_2 Chapter 56: Chapter 052: That Thing is After You (1 more)_2 Len Hawthorne narrowed his long, black eyes, “Little Chloe was present both tis.”
“Could it be soone from the Stephens Family?”
“Whether it is or not, we need to investigate further,” Len Hawthorne collected the information from both sides, “You all will continue to work overti tonight.”
“Young Master Hawthorne, where are you going?”
“Going to have dinner with Little Chloe.”
“…”
*
Dining hall.
Len Hawthorne picked up an unlit cigarette with his slender fingers like bamboo, a captivating shallow smile on his lips.
“You really like fried rice.”
Ordering fried rice in such a restaurant attracted quite a few strange glances.
The girl didn’t seem to have any shyness about it and just ate what she wanted.
“Have you found anything?”
“It’s starting to co together,” Len Hawthorne took a cup of tea to drink.
“Hmm.”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“It’s your business.”
“What a good child,” Len Hawthorne’s enchanting smile resurfaced, once again drawing the attention of the surrounding n and won.
Chloe continued to eat.
When she was almost finished, the man across from her spoke again, “I ca to ask you sothing.”
Chloe slowly picked up a napkin, elegantly wiped her mouth, “Ask.”
“In the Stephens Family, is there anyone particularly targeting you?”
Chloe’s calm gaze fell on him, “You’re probing into the affairs of the Stephens Family.”
“That thing might have co for you.”
“There are many.”
“Huh?”
“In the Stephens Family, there are too many people who want to seize power.”
And Chloe’s father was Pierce Stephens’ only son, holding most of the family’s inheritance rights.
Len Hawthorne began to understand.
“Little Chloe has been pretending to be silly and bewildered in the Stephens Family, it must be hard for her.
Want another serving?”
“One more serving.” She pushed an empty plate forward.
A smile crept onto Len Hawthorne’s handso face again.

During the holiday, Chloe stayed at ho, working on her computer.
David and Yvette Foster brought their daughter back to the Foster Family, and since they didn’t have to work during the holiday, they stayed at ho with her.
However, their daughter spent all day hiding at ho and not going out.
Yvette felt that her daughter was lacking vitality.
On the second day of the holiday, she knocked on her daughter’s door.
“Chloe, let’s go out and have fun during the holiday.
Staying at ho and playing with the computer all day is not good for your health.”
Chloe looked at the well-dressed Yvette, nodded, and went back to her room to change clothes.
As soon as they went out, they were t with a sea of people.
Everyone was taking advantage of the holiday to go out and have fun, a nationwide event.
Seated in front of the ice cream machine, Chloe was eating a strawberry-flavored ice cream, while watching Yvette on the phone in front of her.
After finishing her phone call with David, Yvette turned back to Chloe, “Little Chloe, Hans and Lindsay will co soon.
When they arrive, we can go to the amusent park.”
“Okay.”
She was indifferent.
Soon, Hans and Lindsay Foster arrived.
Entering the amusent park, Chloe expressionlessly accompanied Hans to ride the vertical roller coaster.
“Cousin, you can close your eyes if you’re scared.”
As the roller coaster started, Hans rembered sothing and turned to remind her.
The first round.
Chloe was expressionless.
The second round.
Chloe’s gaze turned to one direction, focusing on the other side of the roller coaster.
On the other side was the high platform for the U-shaped roller coaster, where everyone was lining up.
In the surging crowd, no one noticed the sniper hidden in the trees.
“ow.”
A black cat appeared out of thin air by the tree and leaped onto the most concealed spot.
The sniper was startled.
He imdiately aid his gun at the suddenly appeared cat.
Seeing that it was a cat, his expression relaxed.
Chloe, who had just gotten off the roller coaster, turned and disappeared into the crowd.
“Cousin, cousin…,” Hans looked back and saw that Chloe was gone, his face pale with fright.
“Pfft.”
The silenced shot, its tiny sound completely masked by the noise of the amusent park.
The bullet passed through the cat’s body but missed its target.
The sniper’s eyes widened, staring at the bizarre scene before him.
The cat had vanished!
In a few leaps, another figure swiftly climbed the tree, landing gracefully on the tree branch.
The black cat reappeared on the girl’s shoulder, looking disdainfully at the sniper.
“You…”
Chloe leaped softly at the sniper.
Her delicate hand twisted the sniper’s neck.
The sniper imdiately counterattacked.
“Pfft.”
The bullet flew in.
A hand was raised to catch the bullet.
The sniper’s eyes widened in shock.
Stunned disbelief filled his pupils.
Chloe let go of his neck and stepped back, standing on the most dangerous tree branch as if it were flat ground.
Thinking that he had been saved, the sniper attempted to raise his weapon.
The girl flicked the bullet held between her two fingers.
The bullet penetrated the skull, piercing his brain, embedding in the thick tree trunk behind him.
The sniper died in shock.
*
Sending ancient martial artists didn’t work, so the enemy chose to send normal people instead.
Chloe walked among the crowd and glanced in several directions.
Only one person was sent.
They really didn’t take her seriously.
“Cousin, where did you go?”
Hans ran over, panting.
“To take a shit.”
“…”
Cousin, could you be more refined with your words?
*
“Isn’t that Chloe?”
Marcella Thomas, who was sipping her milk tea, turned around and pointed to Chloe in front of her.
Kate Williams didn’t want to go to the amusent park initially, but Marcella Thomas suddenly approached her.
Considering her previous plan and learning that Oliver Gordon and the others were also in this place, Kate reluctantly accompanied her.
Running into Chloe here was unexpected.
Before Kate could say anything, Marcella quickly ran over to block Chloe’s way, “Chloe, you’re also at the amusent park!
Are you here to find Oliver Gordon?”
Seeing that Marcella had recovered so quickly from the mutated dog incident, Chloe could not help but glance at her.
Seeing that it was Chloe’s classmate, Hans stayed put and waited.
He turned his head and saw two boys coming from the other side.
It was Oliver Gordon and Mason Sullivan.
Oliver’s eyebrows knitted upon seeing Chloe.
How did he run into her again?
“Let’s go sowhere else.”
Oliver turned to leave.
Mason held him back, “Weren’t we going to that side to shoot?”
Oliver was traumatized and wanted to clear his mind, so Mason accompanied him to the amusent park for a few rounds.
Mason had also noticed Chloe.
He looked at Oliver, his eyes flickering slightly.
Marcella saw them and unconsciously smiled, “Oliver Gordon!
What a coincidence!”
Kate also walked over quickly, smiling gently at Oliver Gordon, “Oliver, aren’t you resting at ho?”
“We’re going to the shooting range, want to join?” Mason suggested with a smile.
Oliver frowned again.
