Chapter 613
Adriana thought hard as she leaned against the sofa.
As her bodyguard, it wasn't difficult for Nelson to finish Karen off at all. After all, her strength was incomparable to the people in her family.
However ...
It was a question of whether she wanted to kill Karen or not.
If Karen was gone, it would really save her a lot of trouble. No matter what, Adriana had to admit that Karen was smart, and smart people would ruin her plans sooner or later.
However, there was no secret in the world that could be kept forever. What if Chuck found out that she was the one who had killed his mother?
They would definitely be on bad terms. By then, it would be useless no matter how much she forced him to be with her.
Adriana really did develop some feelings for him.
In addition, she wanted to control him and own him. She was possessive.
She had to own whatever she liked.
Even now, Adriana was reluctant to do anything that might seriously cause both of them to officially fall out. As for Willa, she wasn't a big threat to her.
Adriana was lost in her own thoughts. Nelson stood waiting by her side.
A few seconds later, Adriana said, "Forget it. Let her go this time. Don't kill her."
"Yes, but Miss, may I ask the reason why?" Nelson asked carefully.
"First of all, killing Willa and killing Karen are two completely different things. As for Willa, Chuck will forget her when some time has passed. However, he will definitely not forget Karen," Adriana shook her head.
"On top of that, I'm a little conflicted. Karen is too smart for her own good, which is a bad thing for me. However, I have to admit that I admire her. After all, there aren't many smart women in this world, and she's one of them."
Adriana finally admitted it. She appreciated Karen's intelligence.
"Yes, I understand."
Nelson was surprised, and he was also envious of Karen. For her to be recognized and acknowledged by the heir of the Whitlock family was a big honor indeed.
Ding!
Nelson's cell phone rang and he picked it up. Then, he reported, "Karen is here."
"Let her in," Adriana nodded.
"Yes, but Karen is obviously angry this time. Miss, you'd better not let her get too close to you," Nelson reminded Adriana carefully.
Adriana waved her hand dismissively. Nelson went to open the door and Karen entered with a solemn expression. Before she could enter, he stopped her and warned, "You know the rules. Don't get too close to Miss Adriana. She doesn't like it."
Karen glanced at Nelson. Without saying anything, she just looked at Adriana from a distance.
Nelson sneered. He was sure Karen wouldn't dare to go against him.
People like Karen couldn't possibly afford to offend someone from the secret families.
"It's been a few days since I last saw you. You've aged a few years, haven't you? You look terrible now. The last time I saw you, you had a better appearance than this," Adriana remarked.
Karen hadn't had any sleep in three days. Willa's life was at stake, and she regarded Willa as her daughter. How could she afford to sleep?
"Tell me, why are you here?" Adriana asked.
"You should know," Karen narrowed her eyes.
"What? Oh, yes, I understand. Willa's plane crashed, am I right? You came to find me because of this? Do you want me to help? That's not possible though. I hate her."
"Is that why you hurt her?" Karen asked in a cold
voice.
Adriana's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she asked, "What did you say?"
"Karen, what did you just say? Who is Willa? Do you think Miss Adriana would do this to her?" Nelson hissed. "I'm not talking to you, so shut up. If you keep acting like this, I will think that you're the boss here. Or am I actually right?" Karen glared at him.
Nelson immediately grew angry. She was putting words in his mouth!
If it weren't for Adriana, he would have slapped Karen then and there. How dare she insult him? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
How dare she slander him?
Nelson was furious!
Adriana frowned. Karen was indeed smart.
"Well, I came here because I'm confident that you did it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all this way. There's no need to play at any games here. You're smart, but I'm not dumb as well," Karen looked straight at Adriana.
"You are indeed smart, but also a bit stupid," Adriana tilted her head mockingly, "Did you come here just because you were confident about Willa's accident? Where did your confidence come from?"
"From your possessiveness. You're an extremely possessive woman, so Willa's presence might have threatened you ... "
"Shh, you are wrong. How can someone like Willa threaten me? With her current status, she wouldn't even be qualified to meet me! Are you insulting me?" Adriana replied coldly.
Bang!
Nelson raised his hand and was about to slap Karen's face. He had waited too long for this moment. He had already wanted to hit her since the first time they met. How dare she compare Willa to Miss Adriana?
This was really an insult.
Willa's entire assets could be earned within a month by the secret families. How could someone like this compare to Miss Adriana?
His slap was so fast that it was about to touch Karen's face.
Karen glanced at him. Her expression was calm and she merely took a step back.
Nelson's palm was only a few centimeters away from Karen's face.
However, he missed his target.
Nelson was stunned. How could she be that fast?
There was also a trace of surprise in Adriana's eyes. She exclaimed, "Oh, so you're not bad at dodging."
"I won't return the favor this time. However, if you do that again, I will make sure you end up on the floor!" Karen glared at Nelson.
Nelson scoffed, "You're fast. But do you think you're stronger than me? What a joke! If I really tried my best, you wouldn't even be able to last for 10 seconds!"
"10 seconds? Can't I kill you in 5 seconds?" Karen's eyes narrowed.
"Haha!" Nelson laughed out loud.
"Why weren't you so humorous last time?" Nelson snickered. "Do you find the truth humorous? No wonder you're only a servant, you can't even speak properly," Karen rolled her eyes.
Nelson was fuming.
He couldn't believe that he was being ridiculed by someone like Karen.
Karen turned away from him and looked at Adriana. She asked, "I'm here to ask you one question. Is Willa still alive?"
This was the only purpose of her coming here. She had been looking for Willa for three days. If Willa had used a parachute to jump down before the plane crashed, she would've contacted Karen once she found a safe place to hide.
However, she hadn't. There was no news at all.
This meant that there were two possibilities. First, Willa had really managed to escape, but she was too heavily injured that she couldn't even find a way to get in contact with Karen.
The second was that Adriana had captured Willa and restrained her so that she couldn't manage to escape nor contact Karen.
"Are you questioning me?" Adriana narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, you can think so. I only want to know if Willa is dead or alive!" Karen said.
"Oh, how interesting. This is the first time that someone dares to talk to me in this way. Karen, even if Willa is alive, what are you going to do?" Adriana suddenly smiled.
"If Willa is still alive, then I will pretend that this matter did not happen. However, this is the only time I will do so. If something like this happens again, I will let you know how your secret family has underestimated me," Karen said slowly.
Adriana's smile deepened, and there were a few hints of mockery.
"Haha! Karen, you really overestimate yourself. It's true that poverty limits your imagination. I admit that you may have some hidden strength, but you are nothing but an ant in front of Miss Adriana. You should know that an elephant is able to crush an ant easily," Nelson taunted. He was literally dying of laughter.
The power of a secret family was not something anyone could fully grasp.
They had been around for thousands of years. How could anyone really understand their true power?
"I've already given you a chance. How dare you interrupt me again?" Karen approached Nelson step by step. Nelson snorted, "Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"
