Chapter 532
Black Rose got up and stumbled out shakily. Earlier on, Karen's last punch had already knocked her out. If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have been dead.
She trembled as she returned to the car. As she took a step and moved forward, it was as if her body was going to be torn to shreds.
However, she managed to pull through. From the car, she stared at Karen who was standing in the villa, her vision still blurry from the impact and brief unconsciousness.
The two of them locked gazes from a distance. Black Rose lowered her eyes and dared not look at Karen anymore.
After a brief silence, she drove out. When Black Rose arrived home, she injected herself with painkillers and treated her gunshot wound. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep...
"Black Rose is gone. Did you let her go on purpose just now, Boss Lee?" Betty knew Karen for sure.
If it was in the past, Black Rose would definitely be dead.
After all, she was a woman too. She sympathized with Black Rose as she was photographed by Frieda, and she even shot herself twice with a gun.
Karen resigned Black Rose to her fate! Black Rose seized it and made it through!
"Yeah." Karen looked out. By this time, Black Rose had already left.
"Will she come back after she recovers?" Betty was concerned.
"No, I don't think so." Karen shook her head. "People will change their mind after experiencing death."
Karen knew that Black Rose had her principles.
After this, she would not come and provoke them anymore. There was probably not a large chance of them meeting anymore.
"Okay, Young Master and Yvette..." Betty looked at Chuck's room.
"I'm occupied at the moment, but Chucky wants to go to the Lee Family. If he goes alone, he will definitely be bullied by the Lee family," Karen heaved a deep sigh. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She had grown up in the Lee Family. If she didn't have a choice, she wanted to avoid meeting with them at all costs.
As for Chuck's father, he had been wandering about here and there.
"President Lee, I think you should tell the Young Master about this."
"I... I can't possibly say it. To tell him that I am driven out by my own family?" Karen felt troubled as she was a little ashamed of telling her son about this.
"Well, then should I tell Young Master instead?"
"Forget it. There will be a party tomorrow. I will bring Chuck along." Karen thought that it would be better to reveal it to him then.
She had to find a suitable time!
Betty nodded, "What about Master..."
"He has gone out to run some errands." Karen didn't really want to talk much about this.
"What errands? President Lee, can I say something?" Betty hesitated for a moment.
"Sure," Karen replied with a smile.
"Isn't he a little mysterious?" Betty expressed her long-time doubts about Chuck's father.
Karen insisted on being with Chuck's father when he was poverty-stricken. However to Betty, it seemed that he was not impoverished at all due to his noble temperament.
It was a very peculiar feeling.
Right after that, Karen persisted to get married with him and gave birth to Chuck. But Chuck's father, Chadrick Cannon, was way too mysterious because he never stayed at home for long.
Karen had been dealing with her own business empire in the United States, and Chadrick seemed to be living off her.
This of course, Betty chose not to say out aloud.
Karen just went along, "Well, he is quite mysterious."
"President Lee, have you tried looking into his identity?" Betty did not have the courage to investigate alone.
"No, I met him at college and fell in love with him at first sight. Then, we got married and stayed like that until now..." Karen answered, shaking her head in bewilderment.
"But why does he go out so often?" Betty had been following Karen for some time. She clearly knew that Chadrick wasn't home for at least eight months in a year.
In other words, they were only together for four months.
Sometimes it was even lesser. Betty vividly remembered that there was once where Karen did not even meet Chadrick for an entire year.
He had never checked on Karen and expressed concern about her business. Yet, why did he go out that frequently?
"I have no idea. However, I still believe in him and he trusts me as well. That's enough for us." Karen had a simple mindset towards marriage.
It was enough for both of them to believe in each other. After all, if Karen didn't love Chadrick, how could she give birth to Chuck?
Karen acknowledged that one needed personal space in marriage.
Although she didn't have her personal space, she understood that men needed it more than women. All these years, Karen had been working hard and owned properties in every single country in the world. There had to be give and take on both sides.
She had no qualms with it.
"President Lee, I'm afraid that one day..." Betty trailed off. She was raised by Karen since young. Deep down, Karen was her boss and also her family.
She refused to let such an amazing woman like Karen be cheated on. She wanted to find out the truth even if this deception had already lasted for twenty years.
If it was true, wouldn't that mean Karen was extremely pitiful? She gave birth to a son but at the same time was cheated on by a man.
"Stop it." Karen shook her head and tried to drop the topic, "Stop it. He has always been like this. He has always been..."
Betty sighed and kept silent. She sensed that Karen already had her doubts but always tried to stop overthinking.
After all, Karen was well aware that trust was key in maintaining a good marriage.
She had been doing so all this while.
"It's late now, go and rest," Karen was ready to retire for the night.
"Okay then." Betty left for her room.
Karen looked out the window once Betty left, enshrouding herself in silence as thoughts ran through her head. Ten minutes later, she turned to look at Chuck's room. She muttered to herself, "No matter what happens, you are still my precious son..."
Karen went back to her room all by herself...
"Chucky, wake up. Come someplace with me." Karen knocked on the door.
"Okay, mother, wait a minute," Chuck quickly put on his clothes.
He turned towards Yvette who was lying on the bed.
Yvette had already woken up too. She didn't get much sleep the night before as she couldn't adapt to it. It was already morning when she finally managed to get some rest after laying in Chuck's arms.
Chuck gave her a gentle kiss and Yvette opened her eyes, greeting wearily, "Hubby..."
"Mother wants me to go out with her. Can you wait for me at home?" Chuck knew that Yvette was still at odds with her thoughts and decided to leave her out of this.
"Thank you." Yvette was moved. If Chuck forced her to come along, she wouldn't be able to reject him.
She wanted to go back to her home so badly. After all, this place was the home of the enemy that murdered her father.
Yvette wanted to reclaim her possessions that had been left behind by her grandfather. She didn't tell Chuck a single word because Karen would find out and definitely lend a helping hand to her.
She didn't want to seek help from Karen and complicate her feelings even further.
"Then I'll head out now," Chuck was at ease.
"Okay."
Chuck went out. Karen said to him, "Go to the garage and drive any car you like." "Okay, mother." Chuck darted to the garage excitedly. All men fancied cars.
As Karen followed Chuck to the garage, the door was opened out of the blue and Yvette walked out. She stammered, "You... Wait a minute."
She sounded tired and timid as she had her head hung low and bit her lips tensely.
"What's the matter?" Karen turned to her.
"I... No matter what, I want to thank you this time," Yvette said with her head still hanging down.
"It's something I should've done. If it weren't for Chuck, you wouldn't have accepted the mission and gotten hunted down either." Karen shook her head.
"Even so, I'll still kill you," Yvette announced while raising her head to meet her gaze.
"I know," Karen smiled faintly. She was ever-ready for combat with Yvette.
She wouldn't mind at all.
"I said I'll kill you," Yvette was in conflict.
"I know. I heard you say it the first time."
Yvette narrowed her eyes coldly, "Don't be so nice to me. I will never be able to forgive you, no matter what!"
This woman had killed her father, so she had to pay the price!
"I know. Just follow your heart. If you think that you are capable enough to kill me, then come and find me." Karen turned to the garage. This was a challenge, if Karen won, she would not go overboard as well. "I will, I swear!!"
"Alright." Karen's figure grew further away. She was totally in a predicament since Chuck liked Yvette. If they could never get together because of her, Chuck would definitely regret it. What should she do?
Karen turned around to look at Yvette who had a murderous look on her face. After a moment of silence, she suddenly let out a sigh. Alright then...
