Chapter 193
"Who are you?" Quinn's expression was livid. She stared at Karen Lee cautiously.
Karen's noble temperament was something she had never felt in another woman before.
The security guards immediately lowered their heads respectfully.
Quinn caught on and said, "Are you the owner of this place? You're his mother?"
"Yes." Karen nodded.
Quinn stared at Chuck again. For a moment, she was confused. Why was the mother so elegant whereas the son was so disgusting?
Was he her biological son? Since they did somewhat resemble each other, they must be biologically related.
However, how could such an elegant woman give birth to such a son?
The security guards immediately went out and closed the door behind them.
Quinn frowned and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not going to do anything. I'm here because my son told me to come over," Karen answered.
Chuck felt awkward. How did his mother find out? That meant that she must've known that he was here with another woman.
His mother would definitely be disappointed.
He felt nervous and he didn't dare to look at his mother.
"Your son harassed me just now. I want him to kneel down and apologise to me," Quinn said calmly. She was initially slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her composure.
She didn't care that Chuck's mother was here. She was being reasonable as he really did harass her by grabbing her chest.
"No, he won't kneel to anyone."
Karen shook her head. "I just watched the CCTV footage. From the looks of it, he was in the wrong. Therefore, I will apologise to you on his behalf, but there is no way he will kneel to you." Chuck felt guilty. He knew that his mother was extremely rich. She had never had to apologise to anyone before.
"You apologise? Why would I need your apology? I want him to kneel down to me!" Quinn stared at Chuck.
Karen shook her head, "I told you, he is not going to kneel to anyone as long as I am here. You may name another request."
"Other requests? Do you want to compensate me with money? Do I look like I need money?" Quinn replied coldly.
"Well, you probably don't need money, but it does solve a lot of problems."
"Do you really think I'm going to accept your cash compensation?" Quinn narrowed her eyes at Karen.
The people she had called would arrive soon. She was determined to have Chuck kneel in front of her today.
"It's up to you. I think there's always room for negotiation for anything." Karen's face was calm.
Quinn was adamant, "Too bad, I want him to kneel before me!"
Karen glanced at her and raised an eyebrow, "There's no room for negotiation?"
"No!" Quinn stared at Chuck. She was determined to let Chuck kneel before her. She wasn't going to accept the fact that a boy ten years younger than her had grabbed her chest. She felt disgusted.
"Alright." Karen helplessly walked towards Quinn. Then, she said, "If there's no other way, you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the door was kicked open, and more than a dozen men rushed in. Their fiery gaze stunned Karen. Chuck frowned. Quinn actually called so many people over? Was she trying to destroy this place?
"What about now?" Quinn's face became expressionless and scoffed, "Have him kneel down, and we can call it a day."
Karen suddenly smiled and said, "There's really no need to go through so much trouble."
"Trouble? Your son did to me what I hate the most," Quinn roared.
Karen subconsciously glanced at Quinn's belly. Quinn was even annoyed and shrieked, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing. Everyone, please show yourselves out of here," Karen said.
Everyone sneered at that statement. They had been hired by Quinn's assistant at 30,000 dollars each. If they left, they weren't going to get paid.
"Not planning to leave? Alright." As soon as Karen finished her sentence, someone shouted. Then, a woman appeared and grabbed the men's necks. She threw them out one by one as if they were rag dolls. It was Betty Bernard, and those men were no match for her.
Since Betty had defeated them so easily, the men did not dare to stay in the room any longer. They hurriedly escaped the place.
Quinn was surprised that the men she hired were defeated so quickly. Her expression darkened completely and she said, "You're pretty powerful. What's your name?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. I'm just here to find a solution to this problem."
"Well, I admit that you're a force to reckon with. Unfortunately, there is no other way to solve this. He needs to kneel before me," Quinn said firmly as she walked away. However, Betty kept staring at her. "Get out of my way!" Quinn yelled.
Betty did not move but just continued glaring at her.
Karen said, "You think I don't know that you sent someone to beat Chucky up?" Chuck was surprised that his mother had found out.
"Yes, I asked someone to beat him up. That's because he said that I..." Quinn tried to explain but was cut off.
"You don't need to explain to me. I'll give you a choice now. Let's just call it quits today since you also tried to beat Chucky up," Karen was unfazed.
"And if I don't?" Quinn retorted.
Karen replied, "That'll be easy, then. You can scram now,"
"Are you threatening me? What do you want to do? Are you going to tell someone to hit me?" Quinn's voice was as cold as ice. She had a net worth of ten billion dollars too, and she was not afraid of anyone. "I wouldn't do that. By the way, my name is Karen Lee."
Quinn stole a glance at Karen, opened the door and went out.
It was quiet in the room.
Chuck felt embarrassed. "Mom, I..."
She looked at her son and ordered Betty to go and prepare some food. Then, Chuck said nervously, "Mom... are you disappointed?"
"A little." Karen nodded.
Chuck lowered his head. His mother was really disappointed.
"Mom, I won't do it again," Chuck said. He felt uneasy that his mother had found out about what he did.
Karen said, "Words are cheap, but let's not talk about that anymore. Your career is going well, and I've decided to open a hospital with the building that you bought yesterday," Chuck was surprised. Hospitals aren't easy to operate, and not everyone could open one so easily! He shook his head, his mother was pretty exceptional herself. Meanwhile, Quinn walked out of Hotel Luna, climbed into her car, and slapped her assistant across the face. Were they useless? Why were they so easily defeated by a woman? Then, Quinn closed her eyes and felt uncomfortable. Whenever she looked down, she would remember where Chuck had grabbed her. She was determined to teach him a lesson.
She then made a phone call to learn more about Karen Lee. However, her friends knew almost nothing about Karen, other than the fact that this woman had been purchasing properties like crazy recently. She had bought a hotel, cinema, restaurant, bar...
After hearing the information, Quinn was dumbfounded. Her friend said that Karen was a capricious woman, and she had a net worth of ten billion dollars.
Did that mean that the person who peeked under her dress was actually a kid from a rich family?
The assistant who was driving seemed puzzled and thought, "What's wrong with my boss?"
Chuck was chatting with his mother when his phone rang. He answered the phone doubtfully. It was Yvette Jordan. She sounded anxious and asked where Chuck was. However, since he couldn't say that he was in a hotel, he just told her that he was busy.
Yvette breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried sick. She had been calling Chuck for some time already, but since he didn't answer the calls, she assumed that something had happened to him. She was finally relieved to hear her husband's voice.
"Honey, can you come home earlier?" Yvette said softly. She was too worried about Chuck. If something happened to him, she would have no one left.
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Karen was silent. She hadn't learned much about Yvette yet, so she had to be wary. In fact, she thought Yvette seemed like a decent person, but she was still suspicious. What if she was their enemy's daughter? All in all, she still had to be careful.
After hesitating for a while, Karen said, "Chucky, what do you think of Willa Logan? You met her once at Central City."
Chuck said that she seemed nice. Auntie Logan was very gentle and her car smelled great. Of course, he couldn't tell his mother the last part. It would've been awkward if his mother heard that.
Karen looked at Chuck again and an idea suddenly popped into her head. However, she didn't know whether Chuck would accept it or not. Compared to a stranger like Yvette, Willa was more reliable.
