Chapter 652
"Of course."
Karen asked Betty to find a place to touchdown. There was an empty and desolate road below them.
The coast was clear.
The plane landed slowly.
Brooke breathed a sigh of relief. Was Karen stupid? Did she really trust him? How could she just let them go like this?
Soon, the door to the plane opened.
"Go ahead, you can leave now," Karen said.
"Grandpa, let's leave quickly!" The crying girl, Stacy, immediately said to Brooke.
She didn't want to stay here anymore. She was scared.
"Fine, go help Loomis up," Brooke instructed.
Loomis had just been wrangled by Karen and thrown across the aisle, so he was completely knocked out. She was pretty strong, so there was no way he could wake up so easily.
By the looks of it, he would be bedridden for at least another seven to eight days.
Stacy helped Loomis up and turned to her grandfather, rushing him, "Grandpa, let's get out of here immediately!"
"Alright," Brooke hesitated for a few seconds before looking back at Karen.
Unexpectedly, he found that Karen looked very calm. He frowned, "Karen Lee, what the hell are you planning?"
He had a bad feeling. Karen seemed like a fool, but for a fool to be able to survive until today and even fare pretty well against the Yeager family would require more than luck. He admitted that she had some skills, so she wouldn't be making such a mistake here, right?
If she let him go like this, he would be able to crush Karen easily once he got back.
This was undoubtedly a wrong move on her part.
He knew that something was amiss.
After all, he was the master of the hidden Yeager family. No matter how arrogant he was, he had developed quite an accurate sixth sense. Now, it was tugging at him, telling him that things weren't as simple as it seemed.
"The hidden family is indeed really powerful, but I'm not weak either," Karen replied. Her voice was inexplicably calm.
"Hmph! Let's see what you're capable of! Let's go!" Brooke stormed off in anger.
Stacy who supported Loomis did not dare to stay for another second. She was almost about to burst out crying.
She was the first to run away from Karen and her companions.
A while later, the plane took off again.
The strong wind from the propellers of the airplane threatened to blow the trio away.
"Get someone over here!" Brooke stared at the flying plane.
"Yes, grandpa."
Stacy immediately contacted her family, "Hel-hello? It's me... Stacy! Grandpa and I are over here, send a plane over to pick us up immediately!"
The rest of the Yeager family was dumbfounded. What?!
Brooke and the other two family members had been released? They had just come up with a plan!
How could they already have been released now? What a pleasant surprise!
Everyone looked at each other sheepishly.
"I know! Karen must have been afraid, so she quickly let grandpa and the others go!"
"It must be so. Karen Lee is such a coward. Hmph, do you think that we, the Yeager family, will give up as long as you let grandpa go?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. Send someone to pick up grandpa."
"On it!"
They had their fair share of laughs before sending a plane over to pick them up immediately.
Meanwhile.
"Grandpa, I want Chuck Cannon and Karen Lee dead!" Stacy said ominously.
Chuck's slaps from a while ago had caused her cheeks to swell. She was the daughter of the Yeager family. When had she ever been tortured like this?
She wanted Chuck dead, now!
Brooke stared coldly into the distance, not saying a word. The nagging feeling in his mind told him that something really was amiss!
How could Karen commit such a silly mistake?
"Grandpa! Just say something, I want to kill them!" Stacy whined.
"Hold on. Something is wrong," Brooke shook his head.
There was a sort of uneasiness brewing in his heart.
It was an inexplicable feeling that could not be explained nor expressed.
"Cough!" He suddenly found it hard to breathe. He started to cough, as if he was suffering from asthma. He squatted down as he tried hard to breathe.
Stacy was frightened and gasped, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"I... I feel very uncomfortable. Get... get the doctor..." Brooke was barely able to talk properly now.
"Okay, hold on..." Stacy was shocked. Why did her grandfather suddenly end up like this?
After a while, the Yeager family's plane arrived.
Seeing that Brooke was lying on the ground, the members of the Yeager family were perplexed, "What's wrong, Grandpa?"
"Asthma! Grandpa has asthma... Hurry!" Stacy roared at them.
Yeager family members immediately carried Brooke into the plane in a hurry. Brooke's eyes widened and he couldn't even say a word. He could only stare blankly in the direction where Karen's plane had flown...
Karen watched as the clouds passed by the plane in silence.
"President Lee, regarding the three people from the Yeager family, are we really going to..." Betty trailed off.
She knew that Karen must have her own reasons for letting them leave. However, wouldn't they be endangering themselves by allowing the three Yeager members to return?
It was almost guaranteed that they were going to face the wrath of the Yeager family next.
"Don't worry, I used this on them," Karen smiled and waved something in between her fingers. It was a needle, with some coloured liquid dotting its tip...
Betty's eyes widened and she suddenly understood.
This was a new drug developed by their company. As long as a tiny bit of it was injected into a human body, it would cause various diseases in the body undetectable by any technology or instruments. Moreover, this new drug also acted as a sort of poison that required an antidote.
"Brooke Yeager should have asthma, so this drug will first worsen his asthma symptoms. Then, it'll start to lead to various diseases," Karen replied.
This was a method for them to stall for time!
With this, they could prepare better.
In addition, Karen could also use this poison as a trump card when necessary!
Betty heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Karen wasn't so gullible. She definitely had a plan in mind.
"How is Willa?" Karen inquired.
"Her injury is pretty serious. It will take a period of time for her to recover," Betty had checked on Willa and found several quite severe injuries. Fortunately, Willa was physically fit, so she managed to hold on until now.
"I see."
Karen felt a bit relieved for the time being.
"President Lee, what should we do next?" Betty asked. The strength of a hidden family was not to be taken lightly.
Now, Karen had to face several families. The Lee family was one of them, and the issue with the Oatker family had not been settled. To make matters worse, she now had the Yeager hidden family to be wary of.
She had a lot of enemies!
"We don't have to worry about Brooke Yeager or the Yeager family for the time being. In a week, I'm thinking of taking over the Oatker family!" Karen declared, a cold gleam flashing in her eyes.
The Oatker family had been getting on her nerves lately!
"Alright!" Betty nodded, a grave look plastered on her face.
"Let's go check on how Chucky is doing," Karen was worried about Chuck.
Betty went with her. Chuck had been lulled to sleep by Yvette. His injuries were pretty bad and he was also tired, so he fell asleep quickly.
Yvette was looking after him carefully, but when she saw Karen outside the door, she immediately lowered her head. She still did not dare to look at Karen.
Karen was relieved and sighed, "By the way, Betty, where did Chucky's bomb come from?"
"Probably from the boss of the killer organization," Betty was bewildered. Why did Alexandrina give Chuck such a deadly bomb?
After all, it was a rare item, and only a few existed in this world. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"What?!" Karen paused. Her expression changed.
"Why did she do that?" She wondered aloud.
"Do you think that she really likes Chuck?" Betty whispered.
"No! Of course not!" Karen immediately shook her head.
"Um, ok..."
Karen thought about it for a while and continued, "It shouldn't be possible. The last time when she asked for Chucky to accompany her, it was done out of spite to deliberately anger me. Logically, it wouldn't be possible."
"But what if it's true?" Betty asked.
"Absolutely not! Chucky is no match for her. She is too shrewd. Besides, she is two years older than Willa, so that makes her almost fourteen years older than Chucky. How would this be acceptable? " Karen shook her head, refusing to accept the possibility.
She had brought up Willa and knew everything about her, so it was different. Even if Willa was a decade older than Chuck, she would've agreed to their relationship. Setting aside Alexandria's terrible drinking habits, she wasn't the type to settle down with only one spouse.
It was possible that after playing with Chuck for a while, she would grow bored and dump him.
Karen could not allow such a thing to happen.
"Yes, that's right. She just looks like she wants to play around. She must be deliberately teasing the young master. Why don't you talk to him, President Lee?"
"You know it's not that easy," Karen immediately shook her head. She could give Chuck a good scolding, but she thought it was better for Betty to tell him that and remind him to be careful.
"You're the better candidate to tell him. When Chucky wakes up, give him a hint and tell him not to have feelings for her. Otherwise, I will really get angry!" Karen said.
