Chapter 369
"Young Master, we may be in trouble!" Betty said.
Betty's was very vigilant. This skill of hers had made her realise that something was not right.
When she was driving, she had habitually looked in the rearview mirror. Although she did not have a retentive memory, she soon realized that a car was following her from a distance. Something was definitely wrong here.
In fact, both Betty and Chuck had been chatting in the car.
Betty had seen Chuck's disappointment plain on his face. And so, she wanted to comfort him.
Hence, she hadn't paid attention to the car behind them at first, but she noticed it now.
Hearing Betty's words, Chuck turned his head to have a look. There weren't many cars behind them, so Chuck could not see anything.
"Young Master, that car," Betty pointed at the car tailing them.
Chuck stared at it once he spotted it.
"Young Master, try to make a phone call," Betty suggested.
Chuck didn't understand why Betty asked him to do this, but he still took out his mobile phone doing as she said and called Yvette. At this time, his mind was full of Yvette.
However, the phone call wouldn't get through.
Chuck tried again but to no avail. Obviously, there was a signal. Chuck tried to call the other numbers but the end result was still the same.
"Betty, I can't make any calls," Chuck said in surprise.
"Yes, our phone signal has been interfered with." Saying this, Betty's beautiful eyes turned fierce at that realization. Were they going to act out just like that? Wasn't that a bit too brazen?
"Did Duncan ask someone to do it?" Chuck asked as he analyzed the situation. He couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.
He didn't expect that Duncan would come at him so soon.
"Yes," Betty said as she kept her eyes on the car behind her.
"Then what should we do?" Chuck asked. He had never encountered such a situation before, but he felt that they should speed up and just return to Hotel Luna as soon as possible.
After all, there were a lot of Karen's men at the hotel.
"Young Master, don't worry. I will protect you well," Betty assured him calmly. She had encountered many situations as such so there was nothing to be afraid of. However, Betty was worried about Chuck.
An ordinary mobile phone's signal would definitely be disrupted, but Betty had a satellite phone with her, so she could make calls to anyone without any such interference.
Usually, Betty would have definitely sped up her driving. However, Chuck was in the car with her at the moment and she had to ensure his safety.
Betty took out her mobile phone and gave the hotel a call. She asked the staff to prepare for their arrival at the hotel, to keep Chuck safe.
However, as soon as she called, she found that the car behind her had stopped tailing them, leaving as if in a hurry. Betty was surprised at the turn of events.
Chuck also noticed this and was very surprised.
What were these people doing?
"Betty, they..." Chuck trailed off, not knowing what to say now. He was stunned.
"Young Master, Duncan is a shrewd man. Your mother once said that he has a freakish personality, he likes to play games," Betty said as she was on her guard now. She then started to speed up. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Play? What does he like to play with?" Chuck was a bit taken back by that.
"He likes to play with people," Betty explained.
"You mean women?" Chuck asked, still a bit confused.
"No, not just women. To Duncan, all people are merely toys. So, in his eyes, Young Master, you are also..." Betty stopped at that. It was hard for her to even form the rest of that sentence.
"I'm also his toy, then, you mean?" Chuck asked and rubbed at his nose. Duncan really was perverted. How was playing with him any fun?
Chuck couldn't understand any of this.
He couldn't understand what fun the man could have from playing with him.
"Young Master, your heart is too kind. President Lee wanted you to be crueler so that you can deal with people like Duncan," Betty said.
Chuck knew that this kind of person always thought that they were more superior to the others. Chuck couldn't understand what the hell these people were thinking. This was... horrible!
"Is Duncan playing with me when he suddenly asks his men to leave, then?" Chuck asked after having thought about this and voiced out his concerns. He wondered, "Is he trying to scare me?"
Chuck was not frightened in the slightest.
"That's possible, Young Master. I'll take you back to the hotel first, and then you can take a nice bath and have a good night's sleep. Everything is under control, I'll protect you," Betty said seriously.
"Alright. Thank you, Betty," Chuck thanked her.
"That's my job, don't worry about it," Betty replied.
Soon, Betty drove Chuck to Hotel Luna and went to park the car in the parking lot. Betty's drumming heart had finally settled. She had stuck closely to Chuck when she escorted him back to his room, making a quick phone call as she did so. Shortly after, there was a knock on the door. Betty got up and went to get it open.
At the door stood ten men in black suits.
They were all well-trained bodyguards.
"From now on, all of you will have to protect our Young Master!" Betty ordered. She would still protect Chuck closely, but just to be safe, she had doubled the protection.
"Understood," the men echoed.
Betty closed the door then. Karen had brought hundreds of elites back home this time. They were all nearby and she could ask them to come by with just one phone call.
After all these preparations, Betty felt more at ease. She began to review Duncan's location. If he had come back to the country, where would he be hiding out now?
Betty couldn't figure out Duncan's thoughts. She wanted to discuss it with Chuck, maybe he had some idea. When she was about to knock on the door, she found that Chuck's door was not closed. With a squeak, the door opened.
Betty was stunned at what was presented to her. Chuck was naked while walking in the room. Was he prepared to take a bath?
Betty blushed and hurriedly closed the door. "I'm so sorry, Young Master!" She apologized.
Chuck did not expect that as he remembered that he had clearly closed the door.
He was speechless. As a grown-up man, he had been seen stark naked by Betty. But Chuck didn't really mind. "It's okay, Betty. Why are you looking for me?" Chuck asked.
"It's nothing, Young Master, you can just take a shower and go to bed," Betty blushed as she said. She had just seen her young master's naked body.
Chuck nodded, humming in agreement.
He went to take a shower, but when he was doing so, Chuck had started to have some weird ideas. After all, they were in close quarters and were alone in the room. Besides, Betty had called him Young Master and he had grabbed at her twice already.
If a woman called him Young Master, it meant that she was the obedient type.
In addition, when Betty accidentally rushed in just now, Chuck actually had some instantaneous ideas about what he would do to Betty at that moment.
Would Betty then obey or refuse him?
Chuck was curious about that. Men always had exciting ideas like these. Of course, Chuck was no exception. But Chuck did not dare take any action. In case Betty called Karen to tell on him, then... it would all be over.
Chuck dispelled the idea of excitement and took his shower.
Betty calmed down and began to ask around to identify Duncan's location, but she had next to no clue. She was feeling quite helpless. She sat on the sofa, closed her eyes, and was ready to rest for a while.
However, at this time, she received a phone call that made her stand from her previously relaxed position. "What? Alright, I'll be right there!" Betty rushed.
"Young Master!" Betty yelled and hurriedly opened the door and went in Chuck's room again. She caught Chuck as he was just coming out of the bathroom. He was naked again.
This time, Chuck was embarrassed. He had been looked at bare twice by Betty. What was going on?
But it didn't matter. They were both even now.
Betty did not show any outward expression on her face, but the hot blush spreading across her face betrayed her. "I'm sorry, Young Master. Please put your clothes on. Something bad has happened."
Betty turned around as she delivered this news.
When Chuck heard Betty's words, he had quickly put on his clothes. If it was nothing important, Betty would not have barged in like this.
Chuck soon got dressed and walked over to her. "Betty, what happened?" he asked.
"The plaza. It's on fire," Betty said solemnly.
Chuck's face fell. The incident with Lara's cafe had just been resolved. How could a fire happen at this time?
"It must have been Duncan!" Chuck thought.
The intent to kill was clear in Chuck's eyes.
"Take me to the plaza," he demanded.
"Yes, Young Master," Betty complied. They then went to leave, but there were those men standing at the door, blocking their way. "All of you, get fire extinguishers and head to Young Master's plaza now!" Betty ordered.
"Yes, Ma'am!" they echoed, immediately complying.
As Chuck and Betty arrived at the parking lot and got into the car, Betty drove as fast as she could to take Chuck to the plaza.
One minute later, 20 off-road vehicles left the hotel parking lot together, all following Betty's car. This spectacular scene had amazed the people who were walking along the streets.
Chuck was anxious. The plaza meant a lot to Chuck as it was his business project. In the past few months, he had spent so much effort on the plaza. How dare Duncan set fire to the plaza?
"Young Master, Duncan wouldn't have done this. I will try my best to find out the one who set the fire. How do you want me to deal with that person?" Betty explained, her features were cold.
"Kill!" Chuck ordered with no hesitance. No one was allowed to do this to his plaza.
Soon, Chuck saw black smoke billowing from afar, rising into the sky. That was his plaza!
