?Chapter 43: Chapter 041: A Cornered Beast Will Still Fight Chapter 43: Chapter 041: A Cornered Beast Will Still Fight After delivering the lewd man to the police station and making a quick record, they left.
Hans urgently dragged Chloe back to the Foster Family home.
The tall male student who had also been making the record suddenly called out to her, “I’m Albert Webb, from Thompson County First Middle School.”
“Thank you for your help, but we are in a hurry so we have to leave.
Cousin, hurry, something bad is happening at home.”
Hans pulled Chloe and ran.
“Albert, they seem to be from our school.”
A few people who had stood up said.
Albert Webb watched as Chloe was leaving, “I saw her last time, didn’t expect to meet her so soon.
We seem quite fated.”
“She’s cute, clean and pretty, a real lovely lady!”
“She seems to be your type!”
“Let’s go, we’ll meet again if we’re meant to!”
The group left laughing and jokingly.

The Foster Family home.
When they arrived, there was an ambulance parked in front of the door.
Hans ran up in shock.
It couldn’t be Grandfather again…
He rushed to the vehicle and saw Megan Gibson, who had been loaded onto the ambulance.
Hans was confused.
Fred Foster looked very spirited standing next to the vehicle.
Apart from a bit of worry in his eyes, he looked unaffected.
Chloe slowly walked towards him.
Seeing Megan lying on the stretcher, she wasn’t surprised.
Last time she said something would happen to Megan within three days, and there must have been an outbreak during that time.
Today just provided a big opportunity.
Something in her body was triggered.
“Lindsay, what happened to Granny?”
Lindsay Foster replied, “Granny suddenly collapsed, everyone was scared.”
“What about the people who planned to buy our building?”
“They were scared off by Granny’s collapse.”
With someone collapsing, who would dare invite bad luck.
Wilbert Foster looked depressed, Megan’s sudden attack had left him shaken.

Everyone went to the hospital, and the examination results came out.
It was an intracranial aneurysm.
The risk of rupture for this kind of cerebrovascular disease is extremely high.
A few days ago, Megan had felt unwell, but had just thought she was angry and had not paid much attention.
The emergency occurred today.
It caught everyone by surprise.
“Call David.” Fred sighed.
“Dad, we can’t afford the surgery right now.” Yvonne Sullivan was the first to think about the surgery fee.
Fred kept silent with a stern look on his face.
Wilbert just went silent with the same thought as Yvonne.
Wilbert called David, asking him and his wife to come back as soon as possible.
Unlike Grandfather’s situation last time, Megan’s symptoms were critical and she probably couldn’t be saved.
Xavier pointed to Chloe, “Let her pay, if she can afford a villa she can afford to pay for granny’s treatment.”
Chloe turned to look.
Xavier was frightened and hid behind Yvonne.
Wilbert said in a negotiating tone, “Chloe, my business failed and the family has run out of money.
Besides selling the house, only you guys can help your grandmother now.”
Chloe was busy with her mobile phone, and didn’t respond.
Wilbert had something more to say, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
“Why bother talking to Chloe about this, I still have some money, I will pay for the surgery,” Fred broke the awkward silence.

When Yvette Foster arrived at the hospital, Fred had already paid the surgery fee, and the hospital immediately arranged the operation.
“Dad, how is Mum doing?”
Wilbert replied, “Mum’s condition isn’t optimistic, even after surgery, she might not be saved.”
“How could this happen.”
“Your mother’s disease has been lurking for a long time, it just happened to erupt today.” Fred frowned.
“Yvette, about the two people from the Taylor Family last time, if you can get them to come, please make a phone call.”
Wilbert thought about it and reminded her.
If Yvette called the Taylor Family, she would surely talk to Adam Stephens first.
If Adam got involved, he would be able to get the money he was owed.
“But I…”
Yvonne hastily said, “What’s the time now, aren’t you going to make the phone call.”
Even though Megan had not treated Yvette well, in the end, she was still her birth mother.

Southern District.
Someone came down from the glass villa district in the mountains.
“Team Hawthorne, we found these items, they should be fragments developed by technology research.”
Len Hawthorne took the glass-like fragments and looked at them under the sunlight.
The reflected light was somewhat dazzling.
Apart from him, the others were clearly feeling nauseous.
Len Hawthorne put away, “It’s not a piece of technology, it’s jade.
From the reflection of the light, it seems to be purple jade.”
“But it clearly looks like glass shards.”
“Something has drained the energy from the jade.”
“Is it, is it that strange?” A team member got so scared that he nearly threw away the piece of glass in his hands.”
“This would explain why so many jades disappeared simultaneously,” Len Hawthorne stepped onto a stone, looking towards the dark mountainside, “This appears to be a tricky situation.”
“Team Hawthorne, Deputy Coates has sent a message.”
“Speak,” Len Hawthorne continued to stare in that direction.
“Some strangers have been spotted in the Southern District.
Deputy Coates believes they might be from the Land of the Prophet.”
Len Hawthorne rarely frowned, “Find out who they are.”
“Most likely, they are knights.”
“An old term for just a bunch of invaders in suits.
Tell Ethan Coates, if they encounter them, take action, regardless of life or death.”
“Got it.”
Len Hawthorne took the glass shard and started thinking.
The timing of these people’s appearance was too coincidental.

Adam Stephens brought Rowan Stephens to the headquarters to learn about management.
Given Rowan’s current age, achieving this was virtually genius-like.
Looking at the youngster seated at the end of the conference table, Adam Stephens suddenly thought of his daughter and wife.
His gaze darkened slightly.
Rowan stretched his hand to adjust his tie, and looked up at Adam Stephens who was spacing out by the window.
The mobile phone vibrated quietly.
He opened to see the message.
An encrypted transmission, only a few words: Task failure.
Rowan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a frosty look appeared in his eyes.
At the same time, Adam Stephens’ phone rang.
Seeing that it was his wife calling, Adam Stephens calmly walked to the inside resting room.
“Yvette.”
“Can you talk?.”
“Go on.”
“Mother had an acute cerebrovascular attack.
I was hoping you could help contact the Taylor family to check on her.”
Adam Stephens would definitely fulfill his wife’s requests, “Alright, I will contact them immediately.”
“Adam…”
“You do not have to say anything more, I got it.”
The phone call just ended, and noise from outside came through.
Adam dialed Owen Taylor’s number, and the door behind him was knocked urgently.
He frowned and opened the door.
Grandfather’s men were outside, they asked seriously, “Sir, did you just use your mobile phone?”
Adam’s handsome face turned cold, his eyes narrowing slightly, “You are eavesdropping.”
“Sir, we just…”
“Get out,” Adam’s expression became terribly gloomy.
The man blankly said, “Sir, we are following the family leader’s orders to be by your side, we have the right to control all your behaviors.
You can make phone calls, but we must remind you not to get involved in your wife’s affairs.”
Adam became colder, “Are you going to interfere with our marital matters?”
“We wouldn’t dare.”
“Then get out.
You can let Grandfather know that his legitimate heir is gone.
Let’s see how the old man squeals.” He was genuinely angry.
Rowan outside was also shocked by Adam’s words.
The man retained his expressionless face, “Sir, watch your words.
You should think about the safety of Miss Chloe Stephens and Madam.”
Anger danced in Adam’s chilling gaze, because of his restraint, the muscles on his face were trembling slightly.
“Father.”
Rowan called out in a low voice.
Adam showed a cold smile on his handsome face, “You’d better ensure their safety.”
The threat in his words was strong.
The man nodded and reminded again, “Sir, you can use your mobile phone, but you cannot go to Thompson County.”
“Get out.”
The men left without hesitation.
Rowan looked at Adam, who was a bit under the weather, and didn’t say anything.
Adam had leveraged on a small weakness of Pierce Stephens, but given that Adam had lost all his voice in Pierce Stephens’ presence, he could only curse behind his back.
Rowan knew that the suppression Adam encountered was far greater than his capability.
He sat back down at the conference table without worry, and continued learning his knowledge.
Adam’s current situation was just like a cornered beast.

The surgery was unsuccessful.
From the beginning, Chloe Stephens had anticipated this.
Looking at Megan Gibson, who was in a deep coma, the Foster family was worried.
Once admitted to the ICU, money burned like paper.
The Foster family couldn’t afford these costs.
Wilbert Foster looked at Yvette Foster, “What did Adam say?”
“He will contact them, but he does not guarantee that they will respond.”
Yvette Foster didn’t want to disturb Adam, she only called him when they insisted.
Fred Foster wanted to say something but stopped.
“As long as he is willing to help, they will definitely respond.”
Unless he didn’t want to help.
Wilbert Foster’s words made Yvette Foster feel uncomfortable.
