Chapter 853
In that instant, Chuck was rendered speechless. He stared at Betty. Tears began welling up in his eyes for the first time ever. “Betty, what did you say? My mom, she…?”
“President Lee was on her way to the technological company when the road collapsed. Her car plunged into the river…” Betty sobbed. It was the first time she had been so sad. When she heard the news, sorrow flooded her chest instantly. After all, Karen had been the person training her and she had great trust in her. It was a feeling that nobody else had given to her. However, her benefactor had died in such a manner.
Chuck wondered if he was dreaming. So, it was true. His own mother…? Tears streamed down his face. The last time they had spoken, he had hung up a call from Karen in a hurry. His action left Chuck in much regret at the moment. He would never be able to speak to his mother anymore.
Chuck remembered what Miss Scarlett had said. “You never know when disaster strikes.”
“Young Master!” Betty burst into tears.
“My mom is great at swimming. Even if she fell into the river, she wouldn’t die, absolutely not! I’ll go back to the United States immediately!” Chuck wiped away his tears.
Karen’s physical standing was at its peak, wasn’t it? Even if she drove her car into a river, there must have been a way for her to save herself, right?
”Young Master, that river is the most dangerous river in the United States. Not to mention, she fell from a height of 20 meters. No matter how strong her physical standing is, she wouldn’t be able to withstand it!” Betty didn’t believe it either. However, it was the truth. The force from falling at such a height was not something that the human body could withstand. It was common sense.
”I don’t care. I have to get back to the United States right away!” Chuck didn’t want to stay there any longer.
”Yes, the plane is ready!” Betty had prepared the plane in advance. She knew what Chuck was thinking.
”Okay! Just a moment, Betty!” Chuck ran back. Yolanda, who was anxiously waiting for Chuck, suddenly saw him rushing in.
”Chuck, how did you manage to get rid of the person across the street so quickly?” Yolanda was in a daze. Wasn’t it too fast?
”No, I’m going back to the United States now! You can deal with the affairs of the country!”
”All right. Chuck, are you crying? What happened?” Yolanda asked in surprise. Chuck was already 20 years old. Why did he cry after running out a few moments ago?
”I…” For a moment, Chuck’s nose was sore from crying. He didn’t feel that it was wrong for a man to cry. Especially when something had happened to his closest relative. Chuck couldn’t control himself and wanted to burst into tears.
”Chuck, what happened? Why are you crying?” Yolanda continued to question. In her mind, Chuck was a wealthy heir. Why would a man like him, who was good at fighting and had good mental qualities, cry? There could only be one reason. Something must have happened within the family.
”Something happened to my mom,” Chuck choked out. His statement horrified Yolanda.
”Chuck…”
”I’ll bring you downstairs now!” In a daze, Yolanda went downstairs with Chuck. Just as they arrived in the parking lot…
A bullet flew over! Instantly, Betty’s gaze turned ice-cold. ”Young Master? What is going on?”
”Frieda and the others are behind this! Deal with them for me!” Chuck did not want to stay there any longer. Chuck was going to look for that river in the United States. As a son, Chuck did not want Karen’s body to stay sunken in the river. He was determined to bring it to shore even if it meant that he had to spend the rest of his life looking for her.
”Okay! Don’t worry, Young Master! Your forces are present in the country too! They’ve only taken action a few times!” Betty took out her mobile phone and sent instructions to their forces.
“Come here! The top of the building, blow it up!” Without skipping a beat, she made a second phone call.
”Hello, my Young Master has bought your building! Don’t ask who I am! You have to sell it! The money will be paid tomorrow!”
There was a rumbling sound. Within three minutes, ten helicopters flew over. With such a spectacular scene in the sky, the people below were stunned. Then, a bomb was thrown down from the plane.
Boom! The roof of the building exploded!
”What’s going on?”
”Oh my god! Is there an attack?”
”They’re destroying the building!!”
The people on the street were in shock. They didn’t know what was going on. Why were there so many helicopters circling the roof? Explosions could be heard too. It was terrifying!
Meanwhile, Frieda and Loomis were infuriated. ”That bastard Chuck actually used this trick!” While Frieda was skilled, she was no match for a bomb. She and Loomis found a place to hide. Each and every bomb put them in an unbearably tough position.
Boom! Frieda screamed in agony. She had been hit by a flying stone from the explosion. Boom! The roof collapsed! Frieda cried out in pain, falling down with a very terrified Loomis.
Chuck tilted his head upwards to look. “Tell the forces to protect Yolanda and the others!” Chuck commanded stonily.
“Don’t worry, Young Master!” Betty began to drive.
“Frieda, wait for me. I will kill you myself!” Chuck gave Frieda a phone call.
“Chuck, you bastard, how dare you use a bomb? You!” Frieda fumed in fury. Nevertheless, she was still alive!
“Wait for me!” Chuck warned. With that, he hung up the phone.
“Yolanda, get down here! I’m going to the United States!”
“Okay!” Yolanda got out of the car. Then, she added, “Chuck, I don’t know how to comfort you. Please accept my condolences!” He would have been fine if she had not said anything.
At her words, Chuck’s eyes turned red again. “Yes!”
Whoosh! Betty had already driven away.
Nancy came down from upstairs. She smiled enviously, “You went out with Chuck? How was it?”
“Sigh!”
“Why are you sighing?” Nancy didn’t understand Yolanda’s reaction.
“Chuck is going to the United States. His mother… got into an accident!” Yolanda sighed. For a moment, she almost followed Chuck to the United States.
Hearing that, Nancy was stupefied. “Really? How could this be?” She knew that Chuck was a wealthy heir. If Karen was dead, then what about Chuck?
“I don’t know. I only know that life is fickle!” Yolanda suddenly sighed again. She was pretty sure she had never seen Karen before. However, through Chuck, she had a rough idea of what kind of person Karen was. How could she just die like that!
“Yolanda, where is Chuck?” Just then, Zelda happened to pass by the plaza. Therefore, she enquired about Chuck. Quite some time had passed since Chuck had last visited her.
Yolanda told Zelda about Karen, rendering Zelda speechless. “Then, Chuck has gone back to the United States?” she finally asked.
“That’s right!” Zelda was astounded. “Is Chuck very sad? He must be! Sigh! How could this be?”
