My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 657

"Chucky, it's fine."

Willa couldn't say it at all. She was the kind of girl who was accustomed to burying everything in her heart.

She liked Chuck in private, and it was enough that she saw Chuck being happy. It was not important for her to do anything else.

With this kind of character, Willa could not explain anything to him.

Chuck was helpless.

"It's really nothing," Willa smiled gently. Now that she was alive, it was best to maintain this relationship.

After all, she already promised Yvette. She couldn't and wouldn't have anything to do with Chuck anymore.

In addition, Chuck didn't like her. If he didn't have those feelings towards her, it would be useless for her to confess out loud. This would only make their relationship even more awkward.

There was no need to go so far.

"Alright then. Rest well," Chuck helped her to the bed.

"Okay."

Chuck went out in ease. Meanwhile, Willa laid on the bed. She could only sigh, her gaze bleak.

"Chucky, it's not that I don't want to say out loud. I especially want to tell you my feelings. I don't even know when it started, but I've started missing you a lot. I like you very much, but... there are

some things that I can't say as they will only change the relationship between us. Since that's the case, I'd rather stay like this..."

After enjoying the food prepared by Yvette, Chuck had gotten a full day of rest. He decided to resume his training.

He was talented in combat and was willing to put in a little extra effort to sharpen his skills. As a result, he was steadily improving daily.

Chuck's two ultimate goals were to become the world's billionaire and top combat expert.

The next day, he asked his mother to send 50 billion dollars to the Lawrence family. Sophia was very efficient, so he believed that he would soon obtain his profits.

As for Patricia Dawson, she had been studying in Karen's casino for a long time. Chuck's first business in the United States could start very soon.

Chuck had already asked her to search for a good spot. Besides, Betty, Chuck and Yvette had already paid the place a visit and gave Patricia a green light.

It was a somewhat deserted building, but all it needed was some renovation to start their business. Hence, this saved them a lot of time. Soon, Patricia started to work on the renovations and designing of the building, as well as some exterior decors to brighten up the place. Chuck was absolutely confident in her abilities.

At the same time, he also had high hopes in his very first business.

The start of his business empire had officially begun.

When the casino opened, Chuck would make sure everyone here would hear of his glamorous and luxurious casino!

He was very confident. He trained himself even harder...

Meanwhile, at the Lee family.

Elijah, the head of the Lee family, had a cold expression plastered on his face. In fact, he was even enraged.

Brayden, as well as the other core members of the Lee family, were equally furious! Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Dad, the Oatker family has gone too far. I can't believe they're attacking us now! They're definitely planning to take us down with them!" Brayden was absolutely infuriated.

Over the past few days, Karen had already begun to seriously deal with the Oatker family. It was undeniable that she was really quick at doing so.

Even the Oatker family didn't expect someone like Karen, who had never resisted any of their attacks before, to fight back so fiercely this time. It was terrifying.

In just two days, she had managed to topple much of the Oatker family.

The whole Lee family was shocked. None of them expected Karen to be so powerful!

While the Lee family was shocked, the Oatker family went ballistic. They tried to get the Lees to join them in their fight against Karen.

However, the Lee family had already been taken down by Karen. They didn't have the firearms, the manpower nor the mood to do so.

Everyone had similar thoughts, all except for Brayden.

In fact, Brayden had already met with some members of the Oatker family to reach a primary consensus on their cooperation. However, some problems that arose midway took him by surprise

and had him completely incapacitated in the Lee family mansion.

Bang!

Elijah slapped Brayden.

Brayden was astonished. He cupped his cheek in disbelief and bellowed, "Dad, why did you slap me?"

The other Lee family members were all equally dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Stop pretending! Other people don't know what you've secretly done, but I won't be fooled! Confess, now!" Elijah was anguished by his son's foolish decision.

Everyone could only stare at them blankly, unable to comprehend what was going on. Brayden tried to explain himself, "Dad, what are you talking about? What did I secretly do? Don't misunderstand..."

Smack!

Another heavy slap landed on his face again!

Soon, Brayden's face was red and swollen.

"B*stard, are you still trying to make up excuses?" Elijah was furious.

Brayden did not dare to meet his father's flaming gaze. He could only lower his head and avoid eye contact. He stammered, "Dad..."

"Tell me, what did you do? Did you secretly meet with the Oatker family? Did you promise them to join hands with them and deal with Karen?"

"Say it, now!"

"I'll come clean! Dad, don't be angry. It's true that I've met with the Oatker family representatives, but I never thought that they'd lie to me and drag me down. I..." Brayden was filled with anger.

"You ungrateful b*stard! Karen has already let us go last time. How dare you do this to her?" Elijah was shivering from the rage that rose within him.

"Brayden, what have you done?"

"That's right! Given Karen's strength, even if we were to join hands with the Oatker family against her, we wouldn't be able to stand a chance!"

Everyone sighed as they spoke out against Brayden's rash decision.

Karen's previous actions to the Lee family coupled by her extreme counterattacks against the Oatker family for the past two days made everyone understand that she was just too strong.

She had already surpassed the Lee family.

Under such circumstances, what was the point of joining hands with the Oatker family? They would just be used by the Oatker family anyways!

Brayden was furious, but he did not refute everyone's opposition.

He did not expect Karen's strength to be so strong to even beat up the Oatker family of the Four Greatest Households into submission.

At the same time, he was puzzled. Why would the previously passive Karen suddenly decide to retaliate against the Oatker family?

What was Karen anxious about? What was the reason for her sudden actions?

Brayden just couldn't figure it out.

"What should we do now? Will she come after us again?" A middle-aged man said with lingering fear.

Last time, he was beaten up badly by Karen. He was terrified of her.

Someone suggested, "Dad, why don't we take the initiative and ask her to come over so we can talk to her? I'm sure that Karen will forgive us."

"Forgive us?" Elijah was bitter. He had already regretted his decision of driving Karen out of the family and exiling her.

"Yes, she will forgive us," Another person was convinced.

"Just think about it! If someone backstabbed you in the middle of a fight, would you forgive that person?" Elijah sighed.

"I..." The person who had suggested this was suddenly rendered speechless.

True. They wouldn't forgive that person so easily.

"What should we do now? Will she kill us even though we're family?" Someone was worried.

"Alas. I'll have to beg her forgiveness," This was the best solution Elijah could come up with.

He knew that Brayden still held a grudge towards Karen for his son's death. If he sent Brayden to apologize to Karen, things would escalate further for sure.

He was the only one capable of appeasing Karen's anger from being backstabbed. For the sake of the Lee family, he had no choice.

Elijah was confident. After all, Karen was his biological daughter. Karen would most likely turn a blind eye to their mistakes if he bowed his head and apologized sincerely to his daughter.

"Dad, y-you..."

"Dad, how can you beg Karen?"

Some people were against it.

"Then, tell me. What do you think we can do?" Elijah reprimanded them coldly.

In fact, he didn't really want to. If only things weren't this bad, he wouldn't have to resort to begging his own daughter for forgiveness.

Everyone was speechless since they were aware that they had no other choice.

Just then, Brayden had an ominous plan. He suggested, "Dad, why don't we talk to Chuck first?"

"Are you talking about meeting Karen's son?" Elijah was startled.

This was a good idea. In fact, one of the reasons he regretted exiling Karen from the family was the fact that he could no longer see his adorable grandchildren.

After all, they were also part of his family.

Everyone looked at Brayden in astonishment.

"Yes, we can talk to Chuck. If we can persuade Chuck to help us, Karen will most likely listen to her son and let us go," In truth, Brayden would not want to do so either. He snickered silently.

He was pissed. He could only step back and give in to Karen this time, but this was the first and the last time he'd do so!

After this, he'd take revenge. He couldn't let his son die in vain!

Brayden's thoughts were full of hatred and malice. There was no way he'd let his son's death fade out just like this. He vowed that eventually, both Karen Lee and Chuck Cannon would die at his hands!

Elijah was silent for a few seconds. This was a plausible idea. First, it was probably easier to talk to Chuck. Secondly, he wanted to meet Chuck in person.

If he could persuade Chuck to talk to Karen, Elijah wouldn’t need to beg on his knees for forgiveness. This was a better plan as of now.

"Fine, go make the arrangements then. I'd like to meet Chuck... my grandson," Elijah finally gave in.
