Chapter 142 - Chloeny Paxton

Thirty-five years ago at Eastern Wallace ...

Chloe and Daniel were busy playing chess when Davone suddenly came home with a new wife. The two were very surprised because their father never told them nor introduced them to his lover. What's more, their new mother is only ten years older than Chloeny.

Chloeny could still be polite when greeting her stepmother, but not with Daniel.

"She is more suited to be a sister than a mother." Daniel's tone was very disrespectful and more mocking.

"Daniel!" Davone gave a warning tone that Daniel ignored.

Since then, the atmosphere in Eastern Wallace has not been as warm as usual. Daniel was always looking for something to insult Evelyn, Davone's new wife, while Eve was looking for something to accuse Daniel.

Of course, Chloe defended Daniel to his father when Eve accused her brother. She wouldn't let this strange woman bully her brother by taking advantage of Davone's anger at Daniel.

Even though Davone was blinded-love his young wife, Davone still prioritize his firstborn daughter.

Unfortunately, Daniel ran away from home and disappeared without a word. Chloe was still eighteen years old and did not know anything about Stealth or the LS organization. However, she was so worried about her sixteen-old brother that she could only ask Lest, her bodyguard, to look for her brother's whereabouts.

Of course, for Lest, a candidate for the L team leader's successor, he could find Daniel easily, but he received orders from Davone not to look for him.

Not long after, Benjamin was born into the family to replace Daniel. Chloe didn't like him at all because she still thought about her brother.

When Chloe celebrate her twenty-first birthday, Atlas gave her Stealth control and told her about the LS organization.

Chloe was furious with Lest and her father as well. They could have found Daniel easily if only she had known they had Stealth.

"Your uncle will try to hurt your brother to threaten me. Now maybe he will threaten you. Do you still want to find your brother?"

"Is it really because of that? It looks like you have forgotten him completely. It seems like you prefer your new baby son."

"..." 

Chloe was speechless when she saw Davone's depressed expression. Could it be that Davone was anxious about Daniel? What threat should they avoid so that they have to protect Daniel?

At first, Chloe didn't understand at all. Atlas loved her and Daniel very much, so she thought Leonard was the same. She did not understand what her father meant by saying that her uncle would use Daniel to threaten them both.

As time went on, she began to understand. Leonard was secretly trying to attack her father's main stock market. He even often sent an intruder to kidnap Benjamin, who was still very young.

Like it or not, Chloe had to learn the ins and outs of the family business as well as the Stealth and LS performance systems.

With the help of core team leaders, Lest leads the L team, Paul was the S team leader, and Welly heads the C team; Chloe managed to defend the family business and protect her family from any Leonard's mafia group advances. Chloe also ensured that Daniel's whereabouts were hidden and protected. She managed to do it over the years.

Gradually Chloe's fondness for Benjamin grew, and she also treated him with affection as a big sister. Even though she never stopped thinking about Daniel, Chloe still treated her youngest brother with sincerity. After all, Benjamin was her father's youngest son.

Until one day, when Chloe turned twenty-eight years old, she couldn't stand Evelyn's attitude. Chloe didn't mind at all if her stepmother wanted to buy a house. She didn't care either if her stepmother asked her father for a place. As long as Eve didn't ask for the stock, she could still accept it. But she couldn't stand her stepmother always asking for assets as if she wanted to seize her property one by one.

Chloe looked at the list of assets in her possession which now mostly belonged to her stepmother's name. Chloe tapped her finger on the table in deep thought. If she had to give up her property, she would have done it. But only one... only one house she couldn't let go of no matter what.

Red Rosemary.

Chloe didn't want to give Red Rosemary to that greedy woman. The place was filled with memories of her life with Daniel and their birth mother. She would never be willing to give up the house.

"Lest, is there no way to make that woman stop?"

"We can threaten her." Lest answered dryly.

"Can we threaten him? We don't know what her weaknesses are."

"The weakness is Benjamin."

"You don't think I want to hurt Benjie, do you? I care him too much, and I won't hurt him."

"What I mean is..." Lest handed her a document like a report on the lab results.

Chloe's eyes widened when she read the report.

"How dare she!" an evil smirk adorned on her beautiful face with some dangerous glint eyes. "Call her here!"

Chloe did not need to wait long when Evelyn walked into her study and walked over to the sofa to sit down casually.

"What a rude child. If you need me, you should come to me."

"Then why did you want to come?"

"Tell me, what do you want about my Benjamin?"

Chloe looked at Lest in confusion and then understood something. This sly woman didn't plan to come, which was why Lest used Benjamin as a threat. Chloe smiled triumphantly. It looked like it would be so easy.

"I found something interesting."

Chloe gave Evelyn the documents she had received from Lest.

At first, Evelyn accepted it without the slightest interest. But as soon as she saw the contents, Evelyn gripped the edge of the paper into a lucet.

"You!" at once, Evelyn's face turned pale, and she didn't know how to solve this problem.

Seeing the paleness of the woman sitting in front of him made Chloe smile coldly.
