The child theme only uses the child style.css, unless you use the @import
Any other CSS file added to your child theme wouldn’t do anything unless you enqueue_style it through your child theme’s function.php file. The file can’t do anything unless you tell WP to use it
Finally, if files in the parent theme call to other css files in the parent theme those files will be loaded. You would need to take some sort of action depending how that file is loaded. Perhaps a hook or filter or something could be used to load your own stylesheet in place.
You could also use more specific CSS in your child style.css to override what is being done by the parent
Basically, what you do depends on the scenario. What is being loaded, where, and how

Thank you for the information! Can you explain or point me to the enqueue style you are talking about?
Thanks!
Sure can!

That is the codex info about it. Give that a look through, you should also be able to Google around and find a variety of tutorials to get some more specific examples should you need them!

If a parent theme loads a stylesheet (and does it properly) you can often tell WP not to use that one.
