My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 597

Sophia found the whole thing ridiculous. So what if Chuck was Karen's son?

How could someone from a family like that compare to Elise?

"Let go of Sophia. How much do you want? I'll give it to you!" Sonia shouted.

Sonia felt her anger boiling as she saw Sophia being held hostage. The two of them were always close to each other as they were sisters by blood, and they had always been in charge of the Lawrence family together.

"I'm not here for money," Karen shook her head, her gaze still fixed on Elise.

"Then what do you want? If you dare to hurt Sophia, I'll kill you and your entire family!" Sonia threatened.

If she really wanted to, there was nothing she couldn't do.

Was destroying ten bases not enough for Karen? Who did she think she was?

"I dislike being threatened. I dislike it even more when someone threatens my family members. Shall we let your little sister over there rest for a bit?"

Without any warning, Karen kicked Sonia.

"Ah!"

She flew backwards from the force of the kick, falling onto a sofa and causing it to collapse on impact.

Immediately, she fainted on the spot.

Elise was taken aback. Sophia flared up in anger, "How dare you hit Sonia?"

"I don't care," Karen replied.

She had known about Sonia for a long time now, and she had always wanted to kick her *ss.

Even if she were to be treated by a doctor now, she wouldn't be able to walk for another six months.

She would be bedridden for at least half a year.

"Karen Lee, what on earth do you want?" Sophia was trembling in anger.

Sophia's heart ached as the image of Sonia fainting from the kick appeared in her mind.

"Shouldn't you have known by now? Ever since I've destroyed your first base, you should know that I'm enraged," Karen was indeed livid.

She had never felt this way before. Having to watch her own son being beaten up by others, having to see him locked up in that kind of place and above all, almost losing him in the Amazon. She was heartbroken.

"Karen Lee, what do you want? If you're displeased, take me instead. Let my mother go!" Elise glared at Karen with bloodshot eyes.

"Elise, stay out of this," Sophia warned.

With someone as cruel as Karen, Sophia couldn't guarantee that Elise would be able to make it out alive. "Mom," Elise did not budge.

"You still won't admit that you're wrong?" Karen questioned her.

"No. I didn't do anything wrong!" Elise screamed back at her.

What on earth did she do? As far as she knew, she had made no mistakes!

No - the biggest mistake of all was that she shouldn't have let Chuck get away. She should've killed him right then and there!

That was the biggest and the only mistake that she made.

"Oh really?" Karen's gaze grew cold. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Chuck stared at her. How could Elise still not admit to her faults?!

Willa, Yvette and Betty all glared at her.

This woman really was shameless.

"It's wrong of you to hold my mother hostage; it's wrong of you to kick my aunt; it's wrong of you to destroy my family's bases. The ones who are in the wrong are you and your son, Chuck!" Elise roared back hysterically.

She was furious. She wasn't the one at fault here.

Narrowing her eyes, Karen tightened her grip on Sophia.

"Don't touch my mother. If you hurt her, I will make sure all of us perish together! It's all your fault, and it's all Chuck's fault!"

"It's his fault that he's befriended Regine! It's his fault that he hit me! When I caught him and sent him to the Amazon, it was his rightful punishment! Everything is Chuck's fault!"

"So you still won't admit that you're wrong. Very well," Karen advanced towards Elise with her hand still around Sophia.

Elise was trembling. She felt pressured as Karen approached her. It was something that she had never felt before.

"You said that everything is Chuck's fault?" Karen questioned icily.

"Yes. He's weak and timid. This was his biggest fault!" Elise stared at her, refusing to admit her mistakes.

"So, you think that you're more powerful than him?"

"Yes, I'm a hundred times stronger than all of you combined. We..." Elise continued, mocking them.

Indeed, people from the United States were much taller than others. This was only a natural physical advantage!

"If you're so strong, why did you lose to Chuck?" Karen asked.

"I..." Elise was speechless.

"What? Cat got your tongue?"

"I can beat him now. But if I win, you have to let my mother go!" Elise roared.

Karen looked over at Chuck.

He walked over.

Elise was furious as she charged at him, "You are the one who caused all of this. Go to hell!"

She rushed at him with an astounding speed. She was confident that she could win Chuck this time and finally silence him for good.

She got closer and closer to Chuck.

However, Chuck remained motionless. He only raised his hand to slap her.

Slap!

His palm landed on Elise's face. The loud sound resonated in the room.

Elise was stunned and cupped her face in disbelief. Slap!

After another slap, Elise fell to the ground. The sting from the two hits made her feel as though her face no longer belonged to herself.

Sophia was shocked. How could Elise be finished off with just a slap?

Chuck stared down at Elise.

She staggered to her feet.

"Are you still powerful as you said?" Karen asked again.

Elise covered her cheek and met Karen's eyes, unwilling to budge, "Yes, I am. I'm never in the wrong!"

"Elise..." Sophia suddenly felt that maybe her daughter was in the wrong.

Her daughter was beaten up by Chuck because she had provoked him in the first place. Maybe she had gotten what she deserved after all. Everything that had happened after that was also because of Elise. Even Sophia was beginning to think that it was Elise's mistake.

"Mom, what did I do wrong? It's all his fault, all his fault! I hate him!" Elise burst into tears.

The despair that she had felt in the Amazon flashed before her eyes. She was almost robbed of her chastity - and it was all because of Chuck!

If it weren't for Chuck, how could she have done that?

Sophia was speechless. She didn't know how to answer her own daughter.

"Chuck, do you even know how I felt back there? Do you even know how I made it out? Why did you have to enter that village even though I asked you not to?" Elise spat.

"For starters, it's all because of you that we were even in the Amazon," Chuck answered coldly.

"So what? That doesn't mean that you could drag me inside with you! How dare you bring me there!" Elise continued bawling, looking much closer to a madman than a daughter of a prestigious family.

"I was dragged away to a room where they wanted to take advantage of me. Did you even know about that? I couldn't even resist them! You have no idea about what I had to go through!"

Elise roared, tears rolling down her cheeks. She never wished to experience that kind of despair anymore.

She was ready to give up back then. Thankfully, someone managed to save her. However, that person still hadn't appeared.

"So? You made it out anyways," Chuck replied indifferently.

As of now, he was regretting his decision. Why did he ever choose to save her?

He should've left her there.

Chuck had a thought to never ever hold sympathy towards others in the future. They should bear the consequences of their own actions.

"What? Do you even know how I managed to escape? It's because someone had saved me in my despair! It was only then could I escape from that place! I would've died, all because of you! How dare you deny it?"

Elise tried to morally corner him.

She would never be able to forget the darkness that had devoured her back in the Amazon. It was all because of Chuck.

If it weren't for her savior, she would've died a horrible death.

"I was indeed wrong," Chuck said, shaking his head.

"Are you finally admitting to your faults?" Elise sneered. How dare he not admit to his faults after making such a mistake?

"No, I was wrong. I shouldn't have saved you back then. I should have left by myself," Chuck suddenly revealed.
