My Billionaire Mom

"What usury?" Chuck heard the class monitor say that Yvette had borrowed from the usury to buy him the car.

Yvette borrowed from the usury? It was hard to believe. He knew that she sold her house in order to save her company, and invested a lot of money in managing the company in the plaza. She should've earned enough money from the house, and he even used his status as the Baller to give her five hundred thousand dollars.

Although Yvette did tell him that she wanted to return the money, he didn't accept it, so the money should still be in her account. She shouldn't need to borrow money from anyone. How could she use up more than one million dollars so quickly?

Chuck found it hard to believe.

He knew Yvette too well. She wouldn't spend money casually and would usually save the money she had. She wasn't the kind of girl who would spend on luxury items either, so where did the money go? Why did she need to borrow from the usury?

Chuck looked at Yvette. However, she tried to avoid his gaze. She sighed and felt embarrassed. She didn't feel ashamed, but she just felt that she couldn't face Chuck anymore.

Chuck must have thought she was a gold digger since she borrowed money from the loan sharks. She just invested too much into advertising the company, as well as the compensation for the necklace back in Central City.

Yvette really didn't have much money left. She even had to return the Baller money, so she had no other choice.

Chuck saw Yvette lower her head, and that was when he realized that Yvette did really borrow a loan.

Chuck sighed. He really wanted to tell Yvette that he had a super-rich mother, so she didn't need to borrow a loan. He wanted her to know that she didn't have to work so hard in the company, and that she could spend one million dollars a day if she wanted to.

Yet...

His mother had warned him to be cautious. She still wanted to observe Yvette before she could finally accept her. There was nothing he could say now.

Chuck struggled. His reasoning suppressed his impulse to spill the beans. Since his mother had requested that from him, he decided to trust her and listen to her.

"Stop pretending. Don't you understand what I said? Yvette borrowed a loan to buy you a car. Who knows if someone is going to tow your car away tomorrow? Too bad you've gone too far. You're just a good- for-nothing!" The class monitor sneered.

"Listen clearly now, my husband didn't ask me to buy him a car. He didn't!" Yvette glared at him.

It was already difficult for her to face Chuck. However, she couldn't restrain herself from defending Chuck from what Lincoln was saying.

Lincoln snickered, "Do you seriously believe what you just said?"

"Honey, it's okay. Let's go back." Yvette was obviously in a bad mood. Chuck wanted to figure out how much money Yvette had borrowed. He figured that it should be roughly 100,000 dollars based on the size of the company. Once they got home, Chuck would immediately transfer the money to her so that she could pay the loan.

However, he couldn't figure out how the class monitor found out.

"Hubby, I'm sorry," Yvette whispered. For the first time in her life, she had lost her confidence and she couldn't look at Chuck. She felt that she had been exposed for something terrible that she did, and the guilt and shame was crushing her.

"It's fine." Chuck comforted her and grabbed Yvette's hand to leave.

"Are you going to stop pretending now?" The class monitor laughed at him.

Chuck glanced at him and asked Yvette to wait for him as he walked over to the class monitor. Lincoln continued to snicker, "What are you doing? Do you want to hit me? Touch me, and I'll send someone..." Bang!

Chuck clenched his fist and hit Lincoln in the stomach. With his other hand, he covered Lincoln's mouth and stopped him from screaming out loud. The class monitor's eyes burst wide open as he felt an immense pain, so painful that he almost fainted. It was only then that Lincoln realized Chuck wasn't just playing around.

Chuck threw another punch at him, hitting his cheek this time. The class monitor grunted and fainted immediately.

Chuck threw him against the wall casually. He knew that it was common for fights to happen in a bar, especially since there were so many drunkards. He hoped that someone would pick him up, preferably a

man...

Then, he walked back to his wife. Yvette bit her lips and lowered her head.

"Honey, let's go back." Chuck tried to smile at her, but Yvette felt even less confident.

"It's okay. We'll talk about it when we get home." Chuck held Yvette's hand and they walked outside. However, Matthew had witnessed what happened. He picked up the microphone and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm the winner with the highest spending today. I'll be honored to have a friend up here with me. He claims to know Miss Zabrina Yalden ... Zabrina, I'm not sure if you know this guy?"

Matthew smirked and directed the question to Zabrina. She was shocked. Who would know her here?

"Sure." Zabrina nodded without hesitation. She also wanted to know who this person was.

"Chuck Cannon, don't go. Didn't you say that you know Zabrina? I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself now." Matthew laughed. Deep down, he looked down on Chuck for having Yvette borrow a loan just for him to buy a car. Did Chuck really think he could be acquainted with Zabrina with his meager abilities?

Chuck was forcibly stopped in his tracks.

"Come on up! You aren't shy, are you?" Matthew chuckled.

Everyone looked around. Who was this Chuck?

"Zabrina, wait a minute. My friend is shy. I'll call him..." Matthew said. He couldn't wait to embarrass Chuck in front of everyone. How dare he lie about knowing Zabrina?

Zabrina wouldn't befriend a loser like him.

"Wait, Chuck Cannon? Are you talking about Mr. Cannon?" Zabrina suddenly asked. She glanced around and saw Chuck in the crowd. But who was the beautiful woman next to him? "Mr. Cannon?" Matthew frowned.

"Yes, I do know Mr. Cannon." Zabrina smiled as she walked off the stage and through the stunned crowd. She approached Chuck and said, "Mr. Cannon, what are you doing here? What a coincidence, let's sing together!"

What. The. Hell??!!

The people in the bar were surprised that Zabrina took the initiative to invite a man to sing. To make matters more complicated, he didn't even spend a single penny in the bar! Yvette's classmates were equally dumbfounded by what they saw.

A popular star who was such a gorgeous woman was inviting a loser on stage for a song?

Matthew's expression sank. He felt like he had been punched in his face. He was the highest spender at the bar, but Zabrina invited Chuck to sing with her instead of him?

He couldn't help it anymore. He walked down the stage and whispered to Zabrina, "This is a mistake, right? Let me tell you. This man's belongings were all funded single-handedly by his wife. His wife borrowed..."

"Mr. Cannon, is this your wife?" Zabrina was surprised and ignored Matthew.

She thought that Chuck was still single. After all, he was rather young. She didn't expect that he already had a beautiful wife. Somehow, she felt slightly disappointed.

"Yes, you all go ahead. I'll take her home now," Chuck replied.

Yvette knew that Zabrina knew Chuck, but she didn't expect her to personally invite him to sing. She suddenly felt worthless. While her husband was climbing up the ranks, she was falling further and further down. The gap between them would just grow wider from now on. If things progressed like this, would Chuck abandon her one day?

Yvette was worried and nervous. She looked at Chuck in a daze and felt defeated.

"Sure, Mr. Cannon, be careful along the way," Zabrina said with a smile.

Chuck nodded. He took one glance at Matthew then walked out with Yvette.

Silence engulfed the bar. Matthew's face was burning with shame as though Chuck had personally and physically slapped him. He muttered in disbelief, "Zabrina, how do you know him?"

Zabrina was in a bad mood for no reason.

"I'm telling you, you'd better stay away from this man. He looks glamorous on the surface, but he's really just a piece of trash. Everything he had was bought with the money his wife borrowed. He's feeding off of his wife. Don't trust him!"

In Matthew's opinion, Chuck must have become the biggest spender in some other bar and met Zabrina there.

After all, all of Chuck's money was given to him by Yvette's loan!

However, Zabrina glanced at him and said, "Mr. Yallopp, I don't know where you heard such gossip, but I assure you, Mr. Cannon is nothing like what you just described. He has a backing that's beyond your imagination..."
