Chapter 856
The three hidden families. Chuck had made contact with the Whitlock family and the Yeager family. However, Chuck had yet to make contact with any members of the Cannon family. Nevertheless, he resolved to learn who was responsible for Karen’s death. No matter who it was, he would definitely find out. In the blink of an eye, Chuck’s hatred reached its boiling point.
”Young Master! We still need to give this matter further thought and discuss it further. President Lee has already been assassinated,” said Betty in an attempt to remind Chuck to not act impulsively. She was worried if the person who had assassinated Karen would try to murder Chuck. If even Karen couldn’t handle it, wouldn’t Chuck and Chadrick be in even more danger?
”I know, Betty! I won’t act impulsively!” Chuck knew what the consequences of acting on impulse were. He would never be able to avenge Karen if he were too impulsive.
Betty was comforted to hear that. She had been with Karen for a long time and she really hoped that Chuck could live a good life.
”Dad, what’s your plan?” Chuck asked. For a long time, Chadrick had remained silent. Chuck found it strange.
”I…” Chadrick began to say before he paused.
”My plan is to find Adriana! I want to ask her if she’s the one who did” Chuck declared coldly.
”Young Master, don’t do this. You’ll end up provoking Adriana!” advised Betty, worried. She thought that Adriana was less likely to be the culprit than Sabina was. Didn’t Adriana like Chuck? Why would she hire someone to kill his mother, Karen? That logic did not add up.
”I’ll test her!” Chuck had made up his mind. Chuck just wanted to know where on earth the information that Karen had collected about the three hidden families for ten years was. Karen had never mentioned it to him. Did that mean that he would never find it? Wouldn’t Karen’s efforts for the past ten years be in vain? Chuck’s heart ached like never before.
”Young Master, I think it’s better if you take the reins of President Lee’s business dealings first. The news has now spread throughout the country that President Lee has passed away. As her business is worldwide, the impact will be huge!” In Betty’s opinion, Chuck had to inherit everything for Karen. Otherwise, the schemes of others might have a chance to grow.
”I know. I will not let my mother’s efforts for so many years be taken away by anyone! No!” Chuck announced icily.
Betty was relieved for the time being. Chuck’s focus would be on that matter. He would inherit his mother’s assets and business to fulfill his mother’s wishes. Then, he would find Karen’s murderer.
”Well then, Young Master, come with me to take over everything for President Lee.”
”Okay! …Dad, what’s your plan?” Chuck enquired again.
The expression on Chadrick’s face was solemn. ”Don’t ask, I won’t let your mother die in vain!” After Chadrick said that, he patted Chuck on the shoulder. ”Chucky, throughout my life, the person I feel most sorry for is your mother. Now that she’s gone, I will let her rest in peace!” Chadrick looked directly at the dangerous river in the distance, as if he had made a decision in his heart.
Chuck wanted to stop him, but he didn’t end up moving. While Chuck was sad, he knew that Chadrick was even sadder. However, what did Chadrick want to do? Chuck felt a chill just by looking at his father’s eyes. He was going to do something drastic.
“Dad, what do you want to do?” Chuck questioned. The way Chadrick was carrying himself was different, just like a dormant volcano erupting after many years of inactivity.
“I’ll let them know how wrong it was to assassinate my wife! Chucky, watch out for yourself!” With that, Chadrick left.
“Dad seems to have changed,” Chuck muttered to himself.
Right! “Young Master, your father has been hiding himself all this while!” thought Betty. Betty was aware of that matter!
“I think my father might do something.”
“Director Cannon might! Young Master, you’d better be careful,” warned Betty. She had more that she wanted to tell Chuck.
“Be careful of what?”
“Uh, nothing.” Betty didn’t want to say more. After all, Karen hadn’t mentioned it when she was alive, so why should Betty? “Young Master, let’s go!”
“Hold on a while more. I want to stay here a little longer!” Chuck didn’t want to leave. He was already crying when he sat down. The people below were still searching and there were no traces! Chuck felt guilty for not being filial enough to his mother. He wasn’t able to let Karen rest in peace.
Betty could only sigh.
“Betty, tell me about what happened to my mother in the past years. I don’t know much about her struggle.”
“Yes.” Betty sat beside Chuck and told him about how Karen had been working hard for so many years. The process was hard and agonizing!
Chuck didn’t even know how Karen managed to persevere alone. Chuck clenched his fists. Whoever had killed Karen had better be prepared!
While Chuck’s face was covered with tears, someone appeared behind him. It was Yvette! She didn’t disturb Chuck, who had fallen into a trance. She watched quietly. Following her, another person appeared, with red and swollen eyes. It was Willa…
”How is Chuck’s side doing?” Meanwhile, in the Whitlock family. Adriana asked in a lazy tone.
”Chuck has been taking over everything for Karen the past few days! He has taken over all of it within two days, with the help of Betty!” informed Adriana’s bodyguard.
”Oh, he must be pretty busy.”
”Miss Whitlock, you’re more busy. You’re going to inherit the Whitlock family soon. When the time comes…” He was referring to the ceremony! It was an event the Whitlock family carried out strictly. As the head of the number one family, how could she prevent the members of the other two families from finding out?
”I’ll get Chuck to come over! I like him and I want him to see how powerful I am! Everything in the world is mine!” Adriana’s eyes were burning with excitement like never before.
”Yes, after you inherit the Whitlock family, Chuck will understand!” Her bodyguard smiled slightly.
”Get Eleanor to come over. I have something to ask her!” Adriana requested all of a sudden.
