Chapter 541
"You... What do you want me to do?"
Black Rose did not hesitate to agree. She still felt a little uneasy that Karen would request a favor from her. Did Karen think highly of her?
"My son."
"What's wrong with your son?" Black Rose glanced at Chuck, who was in the car.
Something was off. Why did Karen bring it up like that?
"I want you to protect him in secret. You can name the price."
Karen pondered for a while and still felt that Chuck needed more protection. The Lee family could take action at any time here. She could be by his side every day, but what if one day she wasn't?
Karen didn't want to let herself regret for the rest of her life.
Therefore, it would reassure Karen if Black Rose protected Chuck 24/7.
"You want me to protect him?" Black Rose hesitated for a moment.
"Why?"
Black Rose had a grudge against Chuck because he had seen her photo. She wanted to be as far as possible away from Chuck, and now she had to protect him secretly? "Well," Karen tried to persuade her. "You can name any price."
This was true. When it came to Chuck's safety, Karen would not even bat an eyelash at the price because humans live only once, and it was worthwhile to spend any amount.
"I... It's not about the money. It's..." Black Rose stammered, clearly in a dilemma.
"What is it? You can tell me," said the easy-going Karen.
"I can't really say it." They may both be women, but it was still hard for her to mention it!
She was even talking to Karen who was also Chuck's mother. How could she talk about it so casually?
It wasn't like she could mention that she was still feeling uneasy after her son saw her nudes.
In this case, it would be even more difficult for Black Rose, who was originally silent, to speak.
"Understood. Do you still think that my son will kill you?"
Karen immediately understood Black Rose's uneasiness even without her explanation.
At this age, Karen was good at reading people's expressions. She saw the look of conflict on Black Rose's face. Where did this come from?
Karen, who was quick-witted, suddenly concluded that it was from Chuck.
"No," Black Rose shook her head.
"What else could it be? My son forgets things easily and won't keep it in his heart," Karen smiled slightly.
Black Rose was astonished. It turned out that Karen really understood, but could he really forget it after seeing it?
She glanced at Chuck, who was in the car, and noticed that he didn't spare her a glance. There was indeed a good chance that he had almost forgotten all about it.
"I..." She was in a dilemma.
This was a favor from the time when Karen let her go. Black Rose could refuse, and Karen would not force her.
However, if someone treated her well, Black Rose vowed to be grateful to them for the rest of her life. It was a principle that she followed closely.
For example, she would respect Karen for life.
She couldn't refuse Karen's request. In a way, she was someone who was easily touched.
"You can consider it. These are horses of different colors, and you can name the price as you wish," Karen said with a smile.
Black Rose bit her lip and agreed, "I... Alright, I'll do it."
This was the first time Karen had requested her to do something. She didn't want to refuse, even though she still held a grudge.
"Okay, thank you. I will transfer fifty million dollars to your account later. However, this is not your payment. Your payment will be calculated separately," Karen said. "No, it's fine." Black Rose refused. She was certainly not as rich as Karen, but she was someone who had a net worth of a billion dollars.
After all, she was the number one assassin! She has also been in the industry for many years. Besides, her daily spending wasn't high, and she didn't purchase any luxury goods. Hence, she had a significant amount in her savings.
However, with her earnings, a luxury item would not put a dent in her savings.
One's spending should match the level of one's consumption after all.
"You must. As I said, this is a horse of different color," Karen said.
Black Rose could only accept it and said, "But I have another thing to deal with for now."
"It doesn't matter. You can protect my son in the shadows after you deal with your business. You can stay out of it when unnecessary," Karen said.
Protecting people in secret was Black Rose's forte. Karen only needed to ensure Chuck's safety. After all, people needed to grow up, so there were inevitable setbacks that he had to face alone.
Karen needed to help Chuck grow despite the setbacks under the condition that she could guarantee Chuck's safety.
She wanted Chuck to be mature. If she still wanted to babysit him, she could get a hundred or even a thousand bodyguards to protect him, making him feel safe if he visited any country.
However, Karen didn't want this, and neither did Chuck.
At the very least, Chuck was still determined and ambitious! Black Rose finally agreed, "Okay."
"Then I'll go first."
Karen got in the car and left with Chuck and Yvette.
Black Rose was quiet for a while, then she sighed and called her client. She didn't expect that she would need to protect Chuck's safety in secret. It was beyond her expectations.
The minute she picked up the call, her client pestered her to accept the request. She then asked who they needed to kill and finished the person off in a day's time.
After packing up, Black Rose began to watch Chuck in secret at all times.
Of course, there were some scenes of Chuck and Yvette at night in which she chose to avert her gaze from. After all, this was part of human nature. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
However, she seemed to have discovered something. Why weren't Chuck and Yvette officially together?
She didn't think much about it. After seeing Chuck fall asleep, she stared at him for a while. Then, she found a place to lean on and closed her eyes...
The next day, she opened her eyes and continued to spy on him. When she did, she noticed Yvette helping Chuck with something.
She immediately looked away.
After a while, Black Rose found that Chuck and Yvette were going out. What were they going to do? She received a phone call from Karen.
"Hello."
"My son's going to visit the Jordan family. You don't have to watch him if you don't want to." Chuck didn't say anything, but Karen knew about it. She was smart and immediately knew why Yvette was injured.
Chuck was just helping Yvette to get back what belonged to her. It was also a drill. Karen would not stop his desires but would only tell him if he was right or wrong.
Eventually, he had to walk on his own two feet!
However, Karen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Chuck had brought many people with him, but he didn't want to tell Karen about his plans.
Obviously, he told Yvette that he didn't ask her for help.
His actions really amused her.
For Yvette's sake, he would resort to every conceivable means to help her.
"Okay, I'll follow them." Black Rose packed up her things. Naturally, she followed him from a distance. She could not let Chuck find out.
In fact, it would be embarrassing if he found out.
Black Rose didn't want to face such embarrassment.
Chuck, of course, was oblivious about this matter. If he were to find out about it, he would get taken aback. After all, Black Rose, who once tried to kill him, was protecting him secretly. "Honey, we're almost there. Even if they don't allow us to enter, they'll eventually let us in," Chuck said.
"Alright, hubby. Shall we go back to our home country after this?" Yvette wanted to go back.
It was mainly because of Karen.
She didn't want to face Karen because Karen was too nice. However, she still had to kill her.
It was fine if she didn't know about her father's death. Now that she found out, how could she turn a blind eye to it?
Yvette couldn't do it!
She was afraid that if Karen continued to treat her well, her resolution would be swayed.
The best choice for her now was to leave and return to her home country!
However, if she went back alone, she was worried that Chuck would be sad. Hence, she asked him for his opinion.
She had to.
Chuck coerced, "Okay, let's go wherever you want to."
Yvette was touched when he said so.
When the car stopped, Betty, who was driving, announced, "Sir, we're here."
"Get our men to surround this place!" Chuck ordered.
"Yes sir!"
Betty immediately gave instructions on her walkie-talkie, "Team One, Team Two, surround the perimeter within two kilometers. No one is allowed to come in or out. Team three, keep an eye on the altitude! Don't let anyone sneak up on us."
When she said that, Chuck heard loud whirs. He looked out and saw ten helicopters in the sky, immediately shocked by the large fleet of mercenaries. This was much better than the Allen family's Superb Household Forces.
These helicopters were magnificent!
"Young Master, we are fully prepared," Betty said.
Chuck looked at Yvette and said, "Okay, honey. Let's go take back what's yours today."
