The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress

Why did he suddenly send a message?

Well, I have some things to ask him anyway.

Thinking this, Chloe accepted the call without hesitation.

On the light screen projected by the terminal, Xavier's face was still strikingly handsome.

Chloe admired it for a moment with satisfaction, then said:

"You called right after I finished my mission. If you miss me, you can just say it directly, Daddy."

Xavier looked at her silently for a while, then said:

"I'm not so pathetic as to miss a daughter who hasn't given me peace of mind for over a decade."

Hearing this, Chloe pouted and made a gesture to hang up the call.

Xavier's face, handsome enough to shock heaven and earth, quickly disappeared.

After about a few minutes, the video call came through again.

This time, Chloe waited for more than ten minutes before deigning to press the answer button.

Xavier's expression looked somewhat helpless.

He pressed his long fingers to his brow and said, "I was in a meeting just now."

Chloe blinked her eyes: "So, do you feel you can no longer bear the responsibility of being the Ancestor of the Vampire clan and plan to abdicate?"

"..."

Xavier was silent for a moment, then asked in return, "Do you really want to take my position?"

"If you want, I can temporarily..."

Chloe immediately interrupted him, saying calmly: "No need! I think you can stay there for at least a few hundred more years!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xavier's brows furrowed slightly: "I thought you kept bringing this up because you wanted to take power."

"No interest in that," Chloe flatly refused, "By the way, what did you mean about being in a meeting earlier? Are you still in one now?"

"No."

Xavier's gaze deepened as he looked intently at Chloe for a moment before looking away. Then he said, "But the fact that you hung up on me has now spread throughout the Vampire Mansion."

Chloe: "..."

She didn't seem to care much, and even said flippantly: "You're inept at managing your subordinates, Daddy. If it were me, I'd make sure they couldn't utter a single word about it."

Hearing this, Xavier said sarcastically, "Well, aren't you capable," then continued: "Unfortunately, sometimes those in power aren't as unrestrained as you imagine. When the time comes, you'll have more to face and consider, not less."

Chloe innocently said: "Why should I consider these things? I'm just an ordinary second-generation rich kid."

Xavier habitually flattered her: "Even as a second-generation rich kid, you're the most outstanding one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chloe's dark red eyes brightened, filled with an unmistakable look of self-satisfaction.

She seemed to try hard to suppress her delight, but ultimately failed, with joy evident in the corners of her eyes and brows.

"Of course, just look at who I am."

After saying this, she coughed twice: "Alright, back to the point. You didn't suddenly call just to chat with me, did you?"

As she finished speaking, the curve of Xavier's lips diminished slightly: "I heard your mission this time was to round up the Viper Group?"

Chloe nodded: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Xavier pursed his lips, and finally said calmly: "You shouldn't get too close to them."

The "them" he referred to was naturally the Viper Group.

Hearing this, Chloe's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked in return: "Why? Since they've caused me harm, shouldn't I be doing everything in my power to get close to them and deal with them?"

"Otherwise, wouldn't that go against the principles you've taught me before?"

After saying this, Chloe intentionally or unintentionally fixed her gaze on Xavier's expression.

Unfortunately, he was always impeccable.

Xavier slightly averted her gaze and said: "Alright, perhaps I've fallen into a strange loop of thinking."

He paused briefly, then continued: "But I still hope you'll stay away from them. From now on, don't participate in any missions related to the Viper Group."

As mentioned before, Xavier was an extremely self-centered, old-fashioned patriarch.

He indulged Chloe in everything, but on certain matters, Xavier always insisted on his own views.

For instance, what he just said now - he must have already issued an ultimatum to Ren Yunying about this.

Whether Chloe agreed or not, before Xavier changed his mind, there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Sure enough, the next second, Chloe saw a barrage of messages from Ren Yunying.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she carefully opened the chat window with Ren Yunying, only to be immediately inundated with a torrent of insults directed at Xavier.

She closed the chat window somewhat guiltily and looked up at Xavier.

His expression hadn't changed at all, always maintaining that calm and composed demeanor.

Chloe really wanted to know if he would remain this calm even when he urgently needed to use the bathroom.

Xavier seemed to anticipate something: "Did she curse at me?"

In that instant, a thousand thoughts raced through Chloe's mind.

Although Ren Yunying wasn't particularly kind to her, and often abused her authority to punish her,

Chloe thought that someone as magnanimous as herself wouldn't dwell on such trivial matters.

So she said straightforwardly: "No, Instructor Ren respects you very much and hasn't said anything negative about you."

But clearly, Chloe's credibility with Xavier was almost zero.

As soon as Chloe finished speaking, Xavier's lips curled slightly: "I don't believe you."

Chloe: "..."

Fine, don't believe it then.

"Can I ask why I can't have contact with the Viper Group?"

It was a simple question, but strangely, Xavier didn't immediately answer.

Chloe's eyes darkened, inevitably recalling what the man in the black robe had told her earlier.

A lifespan of one hundred years.

Chloe raised her eyebrows, asking half-jokingly, half-seriously: "Could it be that the Viper Group has some kind of leverage over me?"

"Or is it that you don't want me to know something?"

Before she could finish, she was severely reprimanded by Xavier: "Stop talking!"

The room instantly fell into silence.

Realizing his overreaction, Xavier's eyes flickered, wanting to explain further.

But before he could speak, Chloe said nonchalantly:

"But I'll find out sooner or later, Father."

Xavier's face clouded over, visibly displeased.

His voice was low, tinged with a barely noticeable weariness: "I don't want you to be distracted by other matters. I'll find a solution."

Chloe thought to herself that since she was the one involved, she should have the right to know, shouldn't she?

But looking at Xavier's condition, she ultimately didn't voice these thoughts.

Finally, she compromised: "Alright, if you insist."

Father and daughter gazed at each other for a long moment, until Chloe eventually ended the call.

No sooner had she hung up than Ren Yunying's call came through.

As soon as the call connected, Ren Yunying's frantic shouting filled the air:

"Your father is a madman! A lunatic! It's bad enough that he won't let you handle these kinds of missions, but he just dispatched five military units to the Viper Group's hideout!"
