My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 580

Chuck was taken aback. Ariana said that if her bodyguards were ranked in the list, his mother wouldn't even make it to the top one hundred? What the hell?

To be honest, Chuck never witnessed his mother's true strength. In other words, Ariana probably only saw what his mother decided to show to others.

He did not know if he was right and dropped the topic instead.

However, he was unhappy to hear Ariana's comment about his mother and started retorting, "You..."

"I'm telling the truth. Powerful people won't show themselves so easily," Ariana replied indifferently.

"If your family is really so powerful, then how did you get caught?" Chuck shot back.

She answered calmly, "I was caught because I didn't bring any bodyguards with me. Otherwise, no one would get close to me."

Chuck knew that she was telling the truth. It was highly believable that she could do that.

Forget it. He no longer wanted to talk about it. Hidden families? Chuck did not want to have anything to do with them.

What was the point of getting into such a mess?

However, Chuck wanted to be the richest man in the world. If hidden families existed, then it was impossible for him to fulfill his dream, right? After all, Ariana mentioned that the three hidden families had divided the world among themselves. If he wanted to be the richest man in the world, he would have to find a way to unite and conquer the three hidden families, right?

At the same time, Ariana also told him that his mother's assets were just her family's annual income. They were truly in different leagues.

Chuck was a little dejected.

"Why are you sighing? I said I'll help you escape," Adriana reminded flatly.

"No, I want to be the richest man in the world," Chuck blurted out his thoughts.

"Pfft!"

Adriana chuckled for the first time.

Chuck noticed her white teeth shining in the dark.

"Are you looking down on me?" He was annoyed.

"It's a childish idea. Though, you can be the richest man in the world since we hidden families don't show up anyways," Adriana answered.

Did she mean that the hidden families would not interfere?

Chuck was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to be the actual richest man in the world and not just a figurehead.

"Forget it, I'm leaving. Do you want to come with me?" Initially, Chuck wanted to save his countrymen. However, it seemed that Adriana was the only one here. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"You can go out?" In the dark, Adriana's beautiful eyes were gleaming with hope.

"Yeah, the walls here are made out of soil," Chuck was wearing a special metal ring. He could use his fists but on second thought, it was better to just kick his way out.

"Okay, if you bring me out of here, I'll satisfy three of your wishes. You can ask for anything," Adriana offered.

"Anything?" Chuck scratched his nose with a strange look on his face.

"Nothing of the unusual," Ariana glared at him.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Get up. I'll start kicking the walls down," Chuck got up and stretched.

"My... My leg is injured."

"Do you want me to carry you then?"

"Okay, you can carry me on your back," Adriana found it hard to ask Chuck. After all, no man dared to touch her because of her status.

"Aren't I on the losing end then? Can I ask for another two more wishes? That'll make it a total of five wishes," If she was really a member of the hidden family, five wishes would be great for Chuck.

"You're greedy, but I admire greedy people like you. You have my word," Adriana nodded.

Chuck snickered. He found a spot and started kicking at the walls. It turned out to be a pretty easy job since the indigenous people thought that he was weak due to his height. Little did they know than to not judge a book by its cover.

After a few kicks, Chuck managed to puncture a hole in the wall. He could hear a commotion outside. The indigenous villagers had probably noticed Chuck was trying to escape. He picked up Adriana and suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

She was taken aback and urged, "Run."

"You're as beautiful as my wife," Chuck complimented.

Ariana was extremely beautiful with close to flawless facial features. Her elegance was different compared to other women. Judging merely by her attractiveness, Chuck was sure that she was from a hidden family.

Otherwise, ordinary women wouldn't have such a noble and graceful temperament.

"Are you harassing me?" Adriana frowned. She could tell that Chuck was trying to flirt with her.

"No, I'm serious. You're really beautiful, just like my wife. Auntie Logan is pretty like you too," Chuck replied seriously.

"Fine, I believe you. Now, get me out of here."

In truth, Chuck enjoyed the process. After all, he was holding a gorgeous woman.

Just then, an indigenous villager ran up to him with a pitchfork in his hands. Chuck held Adriana in his arms and kicked the man away.

It was in the middle of the night and the man was seemingly the only one who knew that Chuck was trying to escape.

Chuck continued escaping with Adriana in his arms. Suddenly, he paused in front of a mud house. Adriana was shocked as she heard a woman begging for mercy.

Was Chuck going to save that woman?

Chuck paused for a second before continuing to escape. Ariana was taken aback. There was someone crying for help in the mud house, and she was a female too.

Evidently, the woman in the mud house was going through something terrible.

Was he not planning to save her?

Ariana stared at Chuck. Someone as decisive and cruel like him would be able to achieve something great in the future.

Meanwhile, there was a mess in the mud house.

Elise was forced into a corner. Fear drowned her.

Three indigenous men had surrounded her and forced her into a corner. She tried fighting back but to no avail as they were just too strong. They often fought with wild beasts and were pretty good at fighting.

Elise did not stand a chance and was overpowered immediately.

"Don't... I'll give you money. Please don't do this to

me.

Elise was desperate. She knew what the men would do to her.

She knew.

However, she could not escape and there was no one to save her. She resented Chuck. She would rather be tortured by Chuck than to face such a predicament.

At least, Chuck would not force himself on her.

It was Chuck's fault! It was him!

"Lorem ipsum."

The three men smiled lecherously and seemed to be discussing who would go first.

Their smile made Elise fall into despair. She closed her eyes and prepared to end her life.

Suddenly, she heard a commotion.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Elise heard the three men scream. She opened her eyes hurriedly and realized that they were knocked out cold, blood oozing from the back of their heads. They were seemingly hit by a stone. Who could do it? Who?

Elise did not see anyone. Fear urged her to run. However, she noticed that there was a mobile phone in one of the indigenous men's pockets. He probably stole it from someone else.

She took the mobile phone and ran out of the mud house, calling out, "Who saved me?"

No one answered her.

"Who is it?"

Elise proceeded to lower her voice.

"I don't care who you are but thank you. My name Elise and you can find me in the United States." She dared not stay further. Mustering all her strength she had left, she ran into the forest.

"Lorem ipsum."

The village was in chaos...

Elise ran madly until she could not hear anything behind her. Immediately, she found a place to hide and took out the mobile phone. Although it was still functional, there was no signal around.

She had to keep running until she found a signal. Then, she immediately dialed her mother's number.

Her heart pounded loudly while waiting for her mother to pick up.

The call was connected. It was her mother's cold voice as she said, "Hello..."

"Mom, it's me, Elise," Elise was sobbing.

"Elise? Dear, where are you?" On the other end of the call, Sophia was so excited that she burst into tears. She was overjoyed. She had been so worried about her daughter that she had not slept for days.

"Sniff, I'm still in the Amazon forest. I just escaped from some weird indigenous tribe. Mom, send a plane to pick me up now. Send me some men too, I'm going to kill everyone in that village," Elise was resentful!

"Okay, just wait there, alright? How did you manage to escape?"

"Someone knocked out these savages and I escaped."

"What about the man who caught you?"

"It's him. He's the reason I was caught!" Elise was fuming. The fear and despair dyed her eyes red. Whatever she experienced was too frightening that she felt a burning desire to kill everyone and everything in her way.

Why wouldn't Chuck listen to her?

Thankfully someone had saved her!

"Is he dead?"

"Yeah, I hope he died in the village!" Elise turned around and stared at the direction she came from. She was almost humiliated because of Chuck. It would serve him right if he was killed on the spot!

"Okay, Elise, tell me where you are. I'll call someone to pick you up now."

Elise was not sure where she was. Therefore, Sophia immediately located her with the built-in GPS tracker in her phone. Elise did not hang up the call. She stared behind her and scoffed. She had escaped, but how about Chuck?
