Chapter 852
”Hurry up and open fire! I can’t wait to see Chuck die! That piece of trash!” Loomis was excited.
”There’s no need to hurry! Now that Chuck has lost Karen, who is his main support, he will crumble! I want to see his expression!” rebutted Frieda. The expression on her face was ferocious.
”That’s true!” agreed Loomis with a sneer. Then, he laughed wildly. The news he had received was wonderful.
”Please wait a minute. Our boss will be out soon!” The secretary of the hotel owner escorted Chuck and Yolanda into the VIP room.
”Sure!” Chuck shrugged. He was looking out of the window. His sixth sense told him to take a look at the top floor of the opposite building. He silently drew the curtains.
”Chuck, where are the people who followed us just now?” Yolanda asked. She had a sense of security when Chuck had driven previously. After all, at the gambling den, Chuck had killed dozens of people in front of her. That scene had shaken her up.
”Across from us! But you’ll be fine,” Chuck would ensure Yolanda’s safety.
”Me? Your safety is the most important!” Yolanda shook her head. The more successful the business became, the more precarious their lives seemed to become. She had been aware of that for a long time. Chuck was an extremely wealthy heir. His life was much more valuable than hers.
“What are you talking about? You work for me, but I can’t even protect you?” Chuck grinned slightly.
“Yes.” Yolanda would be much safer. It would be fine as long as Chuck was here.
“When the deal is done, wait for me here. I’ll go across the street and deal with them!” Chuck instructed nonchalantly.
“Can… Can I go with you?”
Chuck grinned lightly at that. “It’s better if you don’t!”
“Am I a burden?”
“That’s not what I meant! I just don’t want you to get hurt!” If Yolanda followed him, she might get hurt. Chuck didn’t want to see that.
Yolanda was stunned. He did not want her to get injured?
After a while, the hotel owner, Leman Yankees, came over. “Miss Lane! Hello, hello!” Leman smiled gently.
Yolanda has been a famous person in the country lately. She was the head of the pharmaceutical factory, the jewelry store and many other business dealings.
“Hello, Mr. Yankees!” greeted Yolanda, returning his smile.
”Who is this?” Leman was quite surprised as he had never seen Chuck before. Who was that? Yolanda’s assistant?
”He… is my colleague!” Yolanda knew that Chuck didn’t want to show off.
”Oh! Take a seat, please!” Leman didn’t look at Chuck. Just as he thought, Chuck was Yolanda’s assistant. He began to talk with Yolanda about the purchase. The process was surprisingly smooth. The reason? It was because Chuck was incredibly rich! When it came to the appraisal value of the hotel chain, he was not stingy at all.
After they discussed the purchase, Yolanda signed the contract with Leman. Leman was very excited because he had already gotten one-tenth of the money on the spot. The rest of the money would be handed over on the next day and all in a single sum.
”It’s a pleasure working with you. By the way, Miss Lane, who is your boss? He’s such a big boss, why haven‘t I seen him before?” enquired Leman. He must be too rich! Could he be from one of the Four Greatest Households in the country? Had he not seen him before?
”Well, you had your chance!” Yolanda thought in her heart.
”All right, I’m going to deal with the documents now! Hold on for a minute!” Leman trotted out. Since the hotel had been bought, he could enjoy peace and comfort.
”Chuck, shall we go back soon?” Yolanda asked.
Chuck shrugged. Just then… All of a sudden, he frowned and pulled Yolanda to the other side.
Bang! A bullet shot through the glass and into the room. It forcefully penetrated the wall. Yolanda was shocked to say the least. However, she was buried in Chuck’s chest. Hence, she felt a sense of security and warmth. Nevertheless, Yolanda was stunned by that strange feeling.
Ding! Chuck’s phone rang. Immediately, he answered the call. ”It’s me! Are you surprised?” Frieda’s voice could be heard from the other line.
”It’s no surprise, I know it’s you!” Chuck responded. Frieda had returned to the country?
”Oh, then why are you hiding from me? Can you pull the curtain open a little bit? Let me see you. Long time no see, I miss you so much!” Frieda pleaded in a sickening manner.
”I miss you too! I’ll come and find you later, then!” Chuck’s gaze turned cold.
”Sorry, you won’t be able to get over here!” Bang! A continuous stream of bullets pierced through the air. The bullets flew into the room like a swarm of bees. It was intensely dangerous.
”Come out. Are you too scared of me?” Frieda provoked Chuck.
”Wait for me!” Chuck hung up the phone and ordered, ”Yolanda, stay behind the pillar and the bullet won’t hit you! Once I’ve dealt with the problem on the other side, I’ll come for you! Wait for me here!”
”Okay! Be careful!” Yolanda obeyed him.
Chuck ran to the door and rushed out. However! A voice stopped Chuck in his tracks. ”Young Master!”
”Betty? Why are you here?” Chuck was bewildered. Shouldn’t Betty be at Karen’s hotel? Why had she suddenly rushed to him? Also, she was out of breath. It seemed that she had run all the way.
”Is there an emergency?”
”Young Master!” Betty’s beautiful eyes turned red. She came over and hugged Chuck.
Chuck was stunned, “Betty, why are you crying? Did something happen to you? Don’t cry, what’s wrong?” It was the first time Chuck had seen Betty crying. And it was also the first time Betty had taken the initiative to hug him.
”Betty, why are you crying? Tell me what happened,” Chuck comforted Betty.
Tears trickled down Betty’s cheeks as she cried in grief, “Young Master, President Lee, she…”
”My mom? What happened to her?” Chuck was shell-shocked. “Betty, don’t cry. What’s wrong with my mom? Hurry up and tell me!”
”President Lee… passed away in a car accident…” Betty could no longer hold back her tears.
