Chapter 858
”Chuck,” Adriana greeted without smiling. Deep inside, she wanted to beam at him because she hadn’t seen Chuck for a while. After all, it was the first time Chuck had come looking for her. However, Karen was dead. How could she smile at this time?
Chuck stalked over in silence. He hadn’t brought anyone with him. Although Betty had insisted on following him and so had Yvette and Willa, Chuck didn’t let them. Instead, he drove over by himself. The three hidden families… It was those three families that had the ability to assassinate Karen. Chuck would definitely find the murderer.
Chuck studied Eleanor through his furrowed eyebrows. The corners of her lips were slightly lifted. Was she Adriana’s new bodyguard?
Meanwhile, Eleanor knew that Chuck was looking at her. Due to her strong mental resilience, Eleanor’s faint grin remained, unwavering. She suddenly found it interesting. The descendant of the person she killed had appeared in front of her. Yet, he still did not know that she was Karen’s murderer. The whole situation was particularly interesting to her.
Chuck didn’t look at her any longer. Was Eleanor so boring that he didn’t feel anything at all? ”I have your mother’s blood on me!” thought Eleanor.
”I know that your mother has passed away. I’m sorry that I didn’t go,” Adriana sighed, feigning sadness.
Chuck stared at Adriana for a while before he spoke. “I know my mother’s strength. Her death was not an accident!”
Eleanor grinned ever so slightly. Ah, so he had discovered.
”Yes, I think so too!” Adriana agreed.
”Then, were you the one who did this?” Chuck questioned.
Adriana was stunned by his accusation. “Chuck, what are you talking about? Why would I kill your mother? Did you come here to ask me this question?”
”Yes!”
”Of course not! What reason would I have to do that?” Adriana sighed desolately.
Chuck too thought that the possibility of Adriana being the murderer was very low. What would her motive be for doing that? ”Really?”
”You don’t believe me? Why would I kill her? I admire her very much, you know?”
”I will find the murderer and make them regret everything they have done!” Chuck declared coldly.
”Yes!”
Chuck’s eyes glowered as he stared at Eleanor. ”Who are you?”
”My name is Eleanor Lacourt!” Eleanor giggled faintly.
”I find your smile very annoying! I don’t know why!” Chuck spat bluntly. Eleanor was behaving too indifferently. The aura she exuded was that or a top combat expert.
”Okay.” Eleanor shrugged nonchalantly.
”Have you seen my mom before?”
”Of course I have. Even if I said I hadn’t, you wouldn’t believe me.” Eleanor kept the smile on her face. Her mental facade was simply too strong.
Chuck’s brows were tightly knitted together. Nevertheless, he could not detect any change in Eleanor’s expression. After a moment of silence, Chuck turned around and left. The possibility of it being Adriana was still very low. However, Chuck kept Eleanor in mind.
”Chuck, I’ve already asked someone to prepare something for you. Have some food before you leave!” It was Adriana’s first invitation.
”There’s no need!” Chuck had already left.
Smash! Adriana grabbed something and smashed it. She didn’t sit down until all the objects were smashed and the ground was covered with glass shards. Her beautiful eyes were terrifyingly icy.
”Miss Whitlock, Chuck doesn’t know what’s good for him!” Eleanor commented emotionlessly.
”It’s not just that he doesn’t know what’s good for him! He’s absolutely unaware! When have I ever been like this? Chuck, don’t you dare test my patience. When the time comes, I’ll kill all of the people around you, I’ll kill them all! It’ll be only you left!” Adriana bellowed in a horrifying threat.
Eleanor chuckled. “That would be interesting. When his mother died, she had a lot of backbone. I wonder if he will be like his mother when the time comes…” She really wanted to witness that event.
”In that case, Miss Whitlock, shall I take care of Chadrick?” Eleanor asked.
”Go ahead! Do it cleanly!”
”Don’t worry. I won’t let myself be discovered twice!” Eleanor giggled. Then, she headed downstairs. ”By the way!” called Adriana suddenly at the thought of something.
”What else can I do for you, Miss Whitlock?”
”Deal with Willa for me as well!”
”All right!”
”Chuck probably didn’t suspect me that much just now. His target must be Sabina. However, I don’t want him to be suspicious of Sabina. That would be meaningless,” Adriana explained lazily.
”Oh, I understand what you mean, Miss Whitlock. Do you want Chuck to target the Cannon family?” Eleanor’s interest was piqued and she returned to Adriana. Chadrick was a member of the Cannon family and Chuck was Chadrick’s son, so it would be much more interesting if Chuck directed his anger towards the Cannon family. In the end, Chuck was also a member of the Cannon family. A Cannon family member turning their back on the family? Eleanor thought it would be interesting.
”Yes, what do you think?” Adriana asked.
”Me? I don’t really have any thoughts.” Glancing at Eleanor, Adriana instructed, ”Go, help me get rid of Chadrick. No, kill Willa first and then we’ll discuss our next step after you come back.”
”Okay! Why do you want to kill her, Miss Whitlock?”
”Because I tried to kill her once, but she was lucky and didn’t die. Now that Karen is dead, she must be suspecting me. However, for Chuck’s safety, she hasn’t told him that I might be the one who did it.”
What kind of person was Adriana? As if she would let a potential threat like Willa live on. Based on Chuck’s behavior earlier, Willa had not told Chuck yet. In that aspect, Willa was still a smart woman. She knew what the consequences of telling Chuck would be.
”All right. In that case, I will deal with Willa first, kill Chadrick and then come back?”
”Go ahead!”
”All right!” Eleanor strode away with her long legs.
”Did you see that? You should emulate the way Eleanor thinks. It’s a pity that it’s you who has been with me for so many years,” Adriana commented listlessly. Her bodyguard lowered his head but did not respond.
”Where are you going?” Chuck had been in the parking lot all the while. He noticed that Eleanor was on her way down the stairs.
”I’m going to play and relax a bit. Do you want to come?” For her, planning an assassination was a relaxing thing.
Chuck stared at her for three seconds before driving away.
”Karen, is your so-called son a fool? I’m right in front of him, yet he doesn’t know that I’m the one who did it. He’s so foolish that it’s cute,” Eleanor sneered as she wondered in her mind. ”If it weren’t for Miss Whitlock, I would have really liked to see what level you were at just now. I want to send you to your mother. It’s a pity that Miss Whitlock’s taken a fancy to you. I can’t do anything about it! Count yourself lucky, brat!” With that, Eleanor stalked to her car and drove away. Her first target was Willa? Then she would go and find Willa!
Meanwhile, Willa was in her room, her beautiful eyes had been calm all the while. From the moment she heard of Karen’s assassination, she had already figured out who was behind it. It was Adriana! She was ninety percent sure that it was Adriana. She really wanted to tell Chuck, especially when he said he was going to see Adriana. However, she was well aware of Adriana’s personality. If Willa told Chuck, Chuck would definitely openly turn his back on Adriana. Since Adriana was capable of killing Karen, Chuck wouldn’t stand a chance. Chuck would die! She didn’t dare to do that.
”Auntie Karen, you left just like that. You didn’t leave any clues, nor any last words,” Willa cried when she thought of it. She was the person she was at present because of Karen’s care and upbringing. Nevertheless, she had made up her mind, ”Auntie Karen, I think I’ll be coming to see you soon as well.” Then, she went to look for Yvette.
Yvette was bewildered that Willa had come to look for her.
”Do you still hate her now?”
”I don’t know. I’ve been trying so hard to kill her until now! However, she’s dead,” Yvette muttered coldly to herself. She no longer had a target.
”Sigh! I’m telling you, I want to go out for a while! Take good care of Chucky and let him increase his strength to its peak. I will tell you what to do next,” Willa had prepared her last words. She knew that Adriana would send someone to kill her. After all, she had realized what was going on. However, Chuck must have the ability to fight against Adriana before he reads her last words. If he did not, then he must never come across her valediction.
”Where are you going?” Yvette enquired.
“Sigh, just somewhere. Yvette, you must be careful!” After Willa learned that Adriana had killed Karen, Adriana’s desire to control Chuck had been completely revealed. If Karen could not escape death, Yvette would not be able to either.
