My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 390

It was the first time Chuck had been absent from class so the students were gossiping about by themselves. Lara was feeling particularly upset. Did something happen to Chuck? Was that why he didn't come?

Why hasn't he replied to the WhatsApp messages?

Lara did not have the mood to study anymore. She longed to call Chuck, but she was afraid that he would not answer the phone. She held her chin up with her hands as she daydreamed.

One of her classmates was sneaking dirty looks at her. When Lara had caught on, she immediately got angry and yelled, "What are you looking at! Get lost!"

The whole class really is filled with perverts. Only Chuck could look at her like that!

Her body had tensed straight with anger. As Abigail walked in, she noticed the empty seat in the corner where Chuck usually sat in. "Is Chuck absent today?" she questioned in her head.

She thought more about it after class. Then, she decided that she would ask about it. After all, she was specially hired to teach Chuck.

"Everyone, let's begin," Abigail said.

Zelda, on the other hand, had the same uneasy feeling. Chuck had promised to return back home with her the day before, but he had suddenly cancelled their plans. He had said that he couldn't make it and so, she had been bombarded with calls by her mother about their absence.

Zelda found an excuse to fool her mother, but it was already noon. "Could Chuck spare some time today then? Is he busy? Would I disturb him if I were to call now?" she wondered.

Zelda sighed. At this time, the phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and nearly yelled in frustration because it was her mother calling again. She didn't know what to say, but she had to answer it. Otherwise, her mother would continue to call, annoying her to death. And so, she answered the phone. Sure enough, it was her mother asking her why she hadn't come to visit her yet.

"Mom, Chuck is busy now... No, no, I didn't break up with him. It's fine. In a few days, when Chuck is done with his work, I will bring him back with me. Yes, I know..." After hanging up the phone, Zelda's eyes were dimmed. She lay her head on the table helplessly and thought, "Chuck, what are you busy with?"

Chuck had now been absent for three days. Lara couldn't get in touch with him and all the other students' discussions about him were getting to her. They said that Chuck did not want to continue his studies anymore, and that he was too lazy to study at the university since he was wealthy already.

There were some who even said that Chuck's family might have gone bankrupt and he couldn't afford to study in the university anymore.

All sorts of speculation were thrown about.

Lara was getting less interested in school because Chuck wasn't there anymore.

Aaron smirked as he was glad that Chuck had been absent all this while. He thought Chuck had felt too embarrassed to show up because perhaps Frieda had taken her revenge on him as well, so he had chosen not to come.

“What a classic rich fellow. Let's see how soon your family goes bankrupt!”

"You'd better flaunt all your money everywhere, spend it all. By the time you end up with nothing, I swear I'll have you bowing at my feet!" he vowed in his mind. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Aaron smiled coldly as he set himself a new goal. After all, there were four campus belles in the school. Since he was done with Frieda, there were still the three other girls waiting for him.

......

During these three days, Chuck had been stuck in the hotel. The entire staff was protecting him day in and day out. However, Black Rose did not seem to make an appearance anywhere. What did she have planned?

Chuck couldn't figure it out. He could only stay in the presidential suite every day and didn't dare to go anywhere else. He wanted to see how she would get to him like this.

Yvette already knew about Chuck's situation. She had stayed by his side day and night. She wanted to protect him.

Willa didn't move from her spot as well, staying close to Chuck. If Black Rose appeared, Willa would be able to dispose of her.

She had stayed in the hotel for three days. She didn't get much sleep, neither did Betty.

"Hubby, aren't you scared?" Yvette asked. Chuck's forced calm composure made her heart ache. She thought that this Duncan fellow was too abominable.

"No, I'm alright," Chuck smiled in response. These past three days were honestly going great for him. Yvette had listened to him and did whatever he wanted.

It was in fact, very enjoyable.

Chuck held Yvette in his arms, her face flushed red with worry. She murmured, "Hubby, you have to restrain yourself. When Black Rose comes, how can you run when your legs are weak?"

After all, Chuck only knew of this method to relieve stress. If he didn't do it, he would really have a mental breakdown. He really had no way of knowing when the sniper would show up and kill him.

What else could Chuck do anyway? If he really had to die, he might as well enjoy himself while he can.

"Hubby, you're getting spoiled. Alright, we'll do it once." Then, Yvette took a deep breath and was about to do something else when suddenly, Chuck heard someone knocking on the door. "Young Master!" the voice shouted.

"Is she here?" Chuck asked. He was no longer in the mood, and Yette had also become extremely nervous.

She knew that Black Rose was very skilled to attain the title as the world's best female killer. It was scary to even think of her.

Chuck went to open the door and in came Betty and Willa. "Young Master, Black Rose is coming," Betty said hurriedly.

"How did she get in here?" Chuck asked as he was shocked. More than a hundred people were on patrol in the hotel. It was difficult even for a fly to get in, how did Black Rose manage to do it?

"I found some of our people dead in the parking lot just now. She came from the sewers. She must have found the blueprints to the hotel within these 3 days," Betty replied and she was feeling particularly angry. She had forgotten that Karen had bought this hotel. Although she had modified many places to change the layout, there were still places that she had missed to renovate. Black Rose must have found out about the sewers and took the chance to infiltrate the hotel.

Chuck understood the gravity situation at the moment, but there was technically nothing to panic about.

"Young Master, she is almost invincible. She once killed a leader of a mercenary that had a team of three hundred men as protection. She'll find a way to get to you soon! Please be careful. She must be right below us now, so I think it best if we were to head to the top floor. Let's go!" Betty insisted. There were helicopters ready to take off at the rooftop. They could take Chuck away instantly and contact the air traffic. Chuck could be flown to the United States right away.

"Alright," Chuck agreed.

"Auntie Logan, let's go," Chuck then turned to say, but Willa merely smiled at him. "No, I'll go downstairs and stop her, or she might do something that will surprise us all," Willa shook her head and said.

Willa knew Black Rose's character, who would stop at nothing until she had killed her target. In order to achieve her goal, she would do anything. Knowing this, Willa would not put it past Black Rose to play dirty.

"It's too dangerous," Chuck said as he was worried. Willa had nothing to say to that. Chuck was overwhelmed by the sacrifices Willa was making for him. Last time, she had been caught by Levi and was forced to stab herself a few times then. And now, she was going to put herself in danger again.

"It's not. I can fight against her, don't worry. Just follow Betty. Go upstairs. I will be fine," Willa assured them.

"Young Master, let's go up there and we'll get you to a safe place, alright? I'll come back to help your aunt," Betty said anxiously. They had to move fast to minimize the risks.

They had to leave as soon as possible, Black Rose was on her way.

"I won't feel relieved until you leave, Chuck," Willa smiled and said.

Chuck sighed. He was not skilled enough in fighting and he had never held a sniper rifle. He knew he couldn't help in the slightest. He knew his own limits. However, Chuck was still very reluctant to let Willa take this risk for him again.

"Go! I have to fight her," Willa urged him.

Chuck sighed again and finally promised, "Well, okay. Auntie Logan, please be careful. If I survive this time, I won't let you have to protect me anymore. I will protect you in turn!"

Chuck's eyes lit with spirit as he spoke.

If he was strong enough, he could prevent the people he loved from getting hurt, and he could protect himself as well!

"Alright," Willa replied and she felt pleased. "Chuck really knows how to make me happy. It's adorable that he wants to protect me... That is a nice thought," she wondered in her heart.

After all, Willa had never let a man protect her before. She certainly would not agree to that, but if that man were to be Chuck, she would be willing.

Once they had reached the top of the building, Chuck was reluctant to part with Yvette and Betty. Willa's eyes sharpened. "Black Rose, if you dare lay a finger on Chucky, I'll kill you!" she supplied in her mind.

Then, she left the room and opened up the box she was carrying. There were guns and ammunition in it. She held the gun with one hand, took out enough bullets clips, and then went downstairs.

It was true that everyone in the hotel was nervous. If a person had suddenly appeared out of thin air like that, anyone would be scared. Fortunately, these people were trained by Karen, and so their mentality was strong. They immediately arranged their people to scavenge every inch of the hotel to find Black Rose.

Suddenly, a yell came from downstairs followed by a gunshot. "She's here, we just saw her..." one of the men trailed off.

A loud then boom sounded.

Once the loud noises had ceased, Willa's eyes started glinting murderously. "Black Rose, I am going to kill you once and for all!" she thought.
