My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 280

Oscar hauled Yvette out of the forest as she screamed, "Let go of me! Now!" Her eyes became crueler.

Chuck disappeared from her sight when she was chasing after him a while ago. Perhaps she did not run fast enough. However, she could not help feeling anxious. Where did he go?

Oscar snorted, "Humph, don't you know you've put me in serious trouble? No way would I let you go!" He then dragged her into a jeep.

Soon, they returned to the school.

Oscar pulled Yvette out of the car harshly. Yvette immediately examined the surroundings. Was this the school? Who was the person she was going to meet?

Could it be Karen?

Yvette instantly hid the emotions in her eyes as she thought about this possibility. She stopped resisting Oscar and followed him to a room. Before they entered the room, Oscar warned, "You'd better behave yourself, don't do anything stupid. If you cause me more trouble, I'm going to kill everyone in your family."

Yvette glanced at him coldly as Oscar knocked on the door. Soon, someone from inside answered, "Come in."

It was a woman's voice.

Sure enough, it was Karen. Yvette could feel her fingers on something.

The door was pushed open before Yvette was dragged in. She saw a very charming woman who was wearing a set of camouflage clothes. Was she Karen?

The woman who controlled Chuck?

Yvette stared at her.

"President Lee, I have brought her here," Oscar muttered, his fingers quivering.

"Okay, thank you. Please excuse us," Karen replied calmly. Her voice did not sound intimidating at all.

Oscar breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that Karen would not harm him for no reason. His body slumped and lost its stiff posture as he left the room, feeling rest assured. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Are you Karen Lee?" Yvette questioned.

"Yes, I am." Karen studied Yvette, saying, "You don't have to pretend to be innocent in front of me. I know that you've been through a lot. And, you have changed." She cleared her throat and added, "You are no longer the naive girl whom I know."

"Do you know me?" Yvette's eyes turned cold. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.

"Of course, I do. Judging on your expression, it seems that you have no idea who I am. I supposed that man didn't tell you much about me. What does he say about me?"

Yvette blurted out, "You're controlling my husband."

"Oh, your husband?" Karen threw another glance at her as her lips curled into a smile. "Never did I control him, and never will I do that."

"I don't care. I want my husband back. Where is he now? Where did you hide him?" Yvette glared at Karen.

"I can tell that you really love Chucky. However, there's no way you two can stay together," Karen answered with a sigh. "Well, I respect Chucky's choice. At most, I would be angry and frustrated if he insists to be with you. However, your family will never react the same. They have made their stand very clearly by sending you here."

"Stop addressing my husband that way!" Yvette stared at Karen.

Karen was taken aback. There was a moment of awkwardness. "Forget it. Since you're here, I'll tell you something. But in exchange, I want to see Chucky."

"What do you mean? You took my husband! Bring him out now." Yvette went closer to Karen.

Karen didn't move an inch. Her eyes were fixed on Yvette.

"I suppose I can't blame you for what you're doing now. In fact, it is pitiful to see you in this state." Karen sighed, "I understand that you hate the current situation now. But, I have to tell you the truth —you were never alone. Your family is hiding in the dark."

"My family?" Yvette frowned. She could not help but wonder the reason as to why her family never showed up in her childhood, that is if she really did have one.

"Yes, your family. A huge family." After a pause, Karen continued, "But, your family and I are holding grudges against each other."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Yvette stared at her, her eyes smoldering with flames of cruelty. "You're stalling for time, aren't you?"

"To me, at this moment, time is more precious than gold," Karen shook her head. "If you don't believe it, I can tell you..."

Yvette stood still, her fingers clutching tightly the capsule in her fist, contemplating the moment to crush it. She should never trust this woman, not even a word from her.

......

Chuck's head was spinning. Images of him being knocked out by a man resurfaced on his mind. As he was following the instructions on the photo, an unknown man had appeared and hit him on the head. Without any strength to fight against him, Chuck slid into unconsciousness instantly.

He noticed that he was in a stuffy room with both his hands being chained up tightly. He attempted to free himself from the shackles instinctively but to avail. There was no way he could escape this room. After all, he was not a locksmith.

An old man was sitting opposite him, his eyes locked on Chuck.

"Where's Yvette?" Chuck asked calmly, without the slightest hint of fear in his voice. His heart could not help but ache as he knew this was the same place where Yvette was locked in. Why did this man lock Yvette in here?

"Yvette?" Levi snorted, "She is doing something that will enrage you."

Chuck frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Karen is your mother, isn't she? Don't you try to hide that fact from me!" Levi's eyes became bloodshot. "Let me tell you a story. Your mother, Karen murdered three sons of mine—three of them! A maleficent woman, she is. Don't you know about that?" Levi's wrinkled face was tinged with viciousness.

His mother had killed his sons? What on earth was this man babbling about? Chuck pondered upon Levi's words. There was no way Karen would murder people without any justifiable reasons.

"It meant that your sons deserved it," Chuck said.

Levi sneered, "They deserved it, huh? Shall we see how you quaver at your own death? Now that you're here, I will be the one who decides your fate. Your life now lies in my hands!"

"You would've killed me if you wanted to." This was the reason for Chuck's fearlessness. Levi could very well finish him off when he was unconscious a while ago.

Why would he wait until now?

Like a venomous snake, Levi glared at Chuck. He wanted to kill Chuck so badly to avenge his sons' deaths. However, he was no match for Karen's influence and status. If he laid a finger on Chuck, Karen would definitely uproot his family at once. No one in his family would have escaped from her claws.

He was putting all his hope on Yvette and the poison capsule he gave her. If the poison managed to enter her system, there was a 70% chance that Karen would be dead. Even if Yvette failed to end Karen's life, the poison would be sufficient to put Karen into a coma for at least ten days, an ample amount of time for him to slaughter Karen.

Without Karen, any and every single person around her was nothing but trash.

If Karen died, things would be much easier for Levi. What he would need to do now was to wait patiently.

Karen wouldn't dare to harm Yvette as her most precious son was in Levi's hands. Yvette could very possibly leave there on her own.

A tint of coldness flashed across Levi's eyes.

"Let go of Yvette and me! My mother is going to pay the ransom as per your demand," Chuck said. Money was of the only way out at the moment. He knew that Karen would be willing to pay for this sum of money.

Slap!

Levi slapped Chuck hard across his cheek. "To get the money from her, eh? Regardless of how rich she is, soon her wealth will be mine!"

Burning pain stung Chuck's face. He struggled to get up on his feet but Levi did not give him the chance to do so. He threw another kick at Chuck, and together with the chair, Chuck was flung onto the ground. He scrunched up his face in pain. He almost passed out but he forced him to stay alert.

Chuck scowled at him, his eyes emitting rays of ghoulish coldness, his brain whirling at its fastest rate to figure out a way to escape here and save Yvette.

"It seems that your mother never teaches you anything. What a pity!" Levi kicked at Chuck again without any mercy. Since Karen murdered his sons, he vented his anger on Chuck until the fury inside him dissipated slightly.

Chuck coughed out a mouthful of blood. His eyes grew colder. He swore in his heart that he must kill this man.

......

"What did you just say?" In the room, Yvette's eyes were covered with a layer of ruthlessness. "My family is huge? And I've been used by them since I was a child?"

"Yes, you were being used. That's not something that I would do to my family," replied Karen.

"Do you think I will believe whatever you say?" Yvette went closer to Karen. Karen remained still, watching Yvette approaching.

"I don't care if you believe me. However, I must admit that your family is one of the few strongest households in this world. After all, there are not many people who can take Chucky away under my watch," said Karen, her face empty of expression. "If you want to stay beside Chucky, bring me to all the places where you've been."

No way would a human go through a place without leaving any trace. Karen was confident enough that she would be able to trail the clues Chuck left and find out where he was. She was fighting against time. Every second wasted was putting Chuck into a longer period of torture.

"I don't believe it! You are the one who's kept my husband captive. It's you!" Yvette said coldly and crushed the poison capsule in her hand. The colorless and odorless gas wafted into the air slowly.

Yvette vowed in her heart, "Hubby, after I kill her, I will find you and bring you out!"
