My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 594

"What!"

Sophia answered the phone. Both Elise and Sonia were extremely angry.

Base No.18 had been burnt to a crisp.

More importantly, it had been burnt despite there being a strict monitoring system in the base.

How could this have happened?

Sophia's mood gradually soured as she listened to the person speaking on the other end of the phone, "Find out everything about it. If you can't, I'll come after you and your whole family!"

She hung up the phone, thoroughly annoyed.

"Sophia, has Base No.18 been burnt?" Sonia inquired weakly.

"Yes," Sophia replied.

Their gazes met.

So it was true.

"Who could've done it? Not anyone could pull something like this off," Sonia analyzed.

This was really becoming troublesome.

"Indeed. It's difficult to even locate the

base and pass through the surveillance undetected, let alone burn down an entire base with hundreds of armed men," Sophia continued.

"Exactly. There are only a few people in this world who can achieve something like this," Sonia shook her head.

"Could it be the work of an assassin?" Elise suggested. After all, there were still a few out in the world who could accomplish this big of a feat.

The first-ranked female assassin, Black Rose, could probably accomplish something like this.

"Assassin? Elise, do you mean someone like Black Rose?" Sonia questioned.

"Possibly."

"I don't think so. I know Alexandrina Middleton, the boss of the killer organization. She understands that if she provokes me, I'll finish her off with a single bomb. Her corpse won't even be

found," Sophia disagreed.

Alexandrina would not be involved in something like this because she wouldn't be able to bear the wrath of the Lawrence family!

"If it isn't Black Rose, then who else could've done something like this?" Sonia agreed. Who else could've done this?

"Elise, close the door," Sophia's tone suddenly grew serious.

"Okay," Elise immediately went to shut the door and the windows, isolating the three of them in the room.

The three women looked at each other solemnly.

"Sophia, what do you think?" asked Sonia.

"I think it's the work of the secret families. I've said this before, right?" Sophia knew that the other three families wouldn't try to attack her. Even if they did, they wouldn't have done something this obvious.

Therefore, she had crossed them off the list.

As for the other families, they wouldn't have dared to continuously burn down several of her bases.

On top of that, they probably wouldn't have the ability to do so even if they wanted to.

They weren't even comparable in size or in wealth to her own family!

"Sophia, are you saying that this was done by the secret families? But you've said that they would never do something to expose themselves, wouldn't they? Their only goal is to make profit silently," Sonia shook her head, silently ruling out the possibility.

When she had heard Sophia talk about this before, she admitted that she was astonished.

After all, she was part of one of the Four Greatest Households.

When she found out that there were three families who held even greater power and authority, she couldn't really accept it.

"True, the hidden family would not do this. We've never done anything to offend them anyways," Elise also denied it.

There had to be a reason behind it.

They wouldn't have meddled with others' businesses for no reason.

Elise just couldn't wrap her head around it.

"But only the secret families could've done it. I've heard that the bodyguards they hire are the most powerful people in the world. It wouldn't be difficult for them to enter our base," Sophia narrowed her eyes, a gleam of killing intent flashing through her gaze.

After careful consideration, she had determined that all other families could be excluded from the narrative. That left only the secret families as the possible culprits.

They must have something to do with this!

"Then..."

Sonia and Elise were both shocked.

"If it really was their doing, then what should we do?"

"Well, I don't know. I don't even understand what they're trying to achieve yet," Sophia felt a headache coming on.

If it really was the doing of the secret families, then what could she do?

This really was troublesome.

Silence fell upon the three of them.

They had no idea what to do.

That night, none of them managed to get a good night's sleep. In the dead of the night, they had received five more calls.

In a matter of only one day, ten bases had been destroyed. They had lost hundreds of billions of dollars!

Most importantly, their family had just been publicly humiliated. Ten bases destroyed were like ten slaps to their faces. The Lawrence family became the hot topic in the United States overnight.

The news couldn't be kept under wraps at all.

Everyone was talking about it - was there someone who held a grudge towards the Lawrence family?

With so many bases destroyed overnight, the Lawrence family was about to go bankrupt!

"If this really was the doing of those secret families, they've crossed the line," Sonia was furious.

She could feel the burning humiliation on her face.

Sophia's expression was indescribable. The name of the Lawrence family had been greatly challenged and even tainted.

All three women were overwhelmed by anger!

At the same time, at the Oatker family.

They had received news of the Lawrence family's bases as well.

The core members of the family were all stunned. They couldn't grasp what was going on.

"What's going on? Who destroyed the Lawrence family bases?"

"Who knows? It could be the Lee family or..."

"The Lee family? They're nearing the end of their reign, they wouldn't dare to challenge the Lawrence family."

"True. Then who did it?"

The Oatker family members all sank into confusion. This was much too sudden, there weren't any signs that led to this! "What do you think about the Lawrence family incident?"

The head of the Lee family, Elijah's eyes flickered.

"Did someone from the Oatker family do it?" Someone suggested.

They only got to know about the news recently and were all immensely dumbfounded!

After all, the Lee family was facing their own struggles.

The incident about the Lawrence family was undoubtedly a piece of big news.

"Probably not. The Oatker family already has to deal with Karen Lee. They won't be able to do this to the Lawrence family now."

The Lee family didn't know what else to say. It was much too sudden.

After more than ten minutes of silence, Elijah suddenly asked, "Where is Karen now?"

"I don't know. What has she got to do with this?" Someone scoffed.

"Yeah. What's this got to do with her?"

The Lee's were immediately disturbed by the mention of Karen Lee's name.

After what she did, the Lee family had become the laughingstock of others for quite some time now.

"Is Karen still in the United States?" Elijah repeated himself.

"Probably. Isn't she looking for her son? I don't know if she found him. Anyways, someone saw her a few days ago. Dad, why are you asking about her? She's not a member of our family anymore. She was driven out..."

"Shut up! If Karen is still here, then she's probably the one who did it," Elijah scorned. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"What? Is it even possible?"

No one in the Lee family believed that she was capable of challenging the Lawrence family.

"Yes. With Karen's abilities, she's able to do this... Well, if any information from our conversation spreads out, I will chase the person who leaked it out of the family! Do I make myself clear?" Elijah warned.

The Lee family members looked at each other sheepishly. They definitely wouldn't dare to do so!

But was it really Karen? If it was true, she was much too bold!

Was she looking for a one way ticket to hell by provoking the Lawrence family?

Meanwhile, at the Lawrence family.

The three women fell into silence, no one saying a word.

All of a sudden, the phone started ringing loudly again.

Sophia's expression darkened. Did another base get destroyed?

She looked at caller I.D.. This time, it was from Base No.3.

"Speak." Sophia's face was expressionless as she answered the phone.

"One of our surveillance capture someone..."

"Send it to me!"

"Will do."

The phone was hung up.

"Mom, what happened?"

"Sophia."

Elise and Sonia both looked at her nervously.

"We've got it. Base No. 3 found something out," Sophia was also nervous. If this really was the doing of the secret families, how would she go about dealing with it?

After all, the hidden families were not to be taken lightly. The whole world had been divided amongst them. The so-called Four Greatest Households were nothing compared to them.

There was undoubtedly a huge gap between them.

"Ding!" The message arrived.

Sophia clicked on the screen. It showed a figure flashing by in the dark When she paused and zoomed in on the image, the figure of a woman was shown.

Sophia immediately flew into a rage, "So it's you!"
