Chapter 360 Power Struggle
Damian spotted Chloe and mediately ran toward her, pulling her into a tight embrace.
His voice trembled with fear and relief.
“Chloe, are you okay? You disappearing all of a sudden scared us to death!”
Chloe’s eyes turned red as she wiped away the tears that had fallen. “Brother Damian, I’m fine.”
She glanced at Derek before continuing.

“This gentleman just wouldn’t let me leave, but he didn’t hurt me or mistreat me. I just couldn’t get in contact with any of you.”
As she spoke, Chloe hugged Damian again. “I missed you so much.”
Seeing that the reunion was over, Derek hurried to move on to the matter he needed to discuss.
“Everyone, please take a seat. I truly had no choice but to invite you here this time.”
Hearing that, Vincent gave a cold smile.
“Now I’m curious. What kind of situation could force someone with overwhelming power in the United States to act as if they had no other choice?”
There was a suppressed anger in his heart with nowhere to go.
Derek rubbed his hands together nervously. His back slowly stiffened as he spoke.
“I believe you have already investigated me. What happened today was indeed inappropriate. I hope you can forgive us.”
“Our old family head recently discovered that a member of our bloodline had been living outside the family. He sent people out to search for them, but we found nothing for a long time. It was only recently that we finally discovered a trace.”
Iris’s heart moved.
So this was about Emma.
Had Ares already found out?
With Ares’s abilities, once he learned that Emma was connected to the Stanford Family bloodline, there was no way he wouldn’t have prepared something in advance.
What exactly was he planning?
“This should have been a joyous occasion,” Derek continued.
“But because of this, it also triggered the ambitions of the second-in-command within our family.”
“The old family head’s son is no longer able to manage family affairs. If nothing unexpected happens, the person who inherits the entire Stanford Family will be the second-in-command who has followed the old family head for more than thirty or forty years.”
Derek sighed and shook his head.

“Unfortunately… this second-in-command has been loyal his entire life. But now that he is old, I don’t understand why he suddenly became obsessed with taking that position.”
“What does this have to do with us?” Damian interrupted directly. “As far as we’re concerned, in the United States, we’ve always stayed out of each other’s way.”
Derek paused before continuing.
“This truly has nothing to do with the Noir Family. But we discovered that Iris Noir was the one who saved our Stanford Family’s bloodline.”
“To prevent Miss Noir from being harmed, we could only invite you here through this method. I sincerely apologize.”
“Iris…” Vincent lowered his voice.
Damian stared at Iris in shock.
Iris orly shrugged.
No wonder the third-floor room had been recreated so accurately.
“It was indeed Miss Noir,” Derek explained.
“The third-floor room you just went through was related to two times when our heir nearly lost his life. Both times, it was Miss Noir who saved her.”
“Once again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Miss Noir.”
Chloe’s face instantly turned pale. “How could it be tris? She doesn’t have that kind of ability!”
Derek looked at Chloe in confusion. “Miss Chloe, you can doubt me, but I hope you can trust the investigative abilities of the Stanford Family.”
Chloe immediately stepped behind Damian, tightly gripping the back of his clothes.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t questioning your family’s abilities. I just mean… is it possible that your investigation was wrong? Iris’s grades at school have always been poor. Everyone at the academy knows that.”
Vincent and Damian recalled what had just happened on the third floor..
Neither of them had even reacted.
Iris had already moved from the operating table to the extraction equipment.
After casually adjusting a few things, the underground door had opened.
At the time, they thought it was just a coincidence.
But now they realized…
They had underestimated their own sister.
The two brothers looked at Derek and Iris with complicated expressions.

Miss Chloe…” Derek frowned. “Could there be another female student named Iris Noir at your school?”
Chloe’s face turned completely pale..
She slowly shook her head.
Derek quietly exhaled.
