My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 665

"Maybe the Oatkers did something to Sophia to enrage her? That's why she decided to repay them like this!" Karen analyzed.

When Chuck went to meet the Lee family a while ago, he mentioned something like this to her over the phone. This was probably the only reason.

Otherwise, there was no other plausible explanation.

"What?" Betty was startled.

This also made sense.

"Go and check it out... Oh, forget it. Let me just ask Sophia directly," With that, Karen took out her phone.

Sophia's sudden actions were enough to catch Karen off guard and disrupt her plans.

The call took a while before finally connecting.

"Hello?"

On the other side, Sophia was struggling to answer the call. If it was in the past, she would definitely not answer it.

However, she had an accidental affair with Chuck. She felt guilty towards him, and she couldn't bear to face Karen. For some reason, she was treating Karen more like an elder instead of a peer.

"Hi," Karen was confused. When did Sophia suddenly become so polite to her?

What was going on?

She thought she had heard it wrong.

Betty was curious when she saw Karen's blank expression. What happened over the phone?

"Hello Karen," Sophia was subconsciously nervous when talking to Karen.

"Ahem, I would like to ask about the bomb that befell the Oatker family... Did you send someone to do that?" Karen quickly asked her.

Karen noticed Sophia's sudden politeness in her tone. Maybe she had gone through some difficulties, or maybe she had realized Karen's strength. That could be why she sounded so courteous now.

"Yes, it was me. Have I done something wrong?" Sophia asked carefully.

"No, don't be mistaken. I don't think you're wrong. I'm just surprised that you did this..." Karen admitted she was shocked.

Why was Sophia suddenly being so kind?

"I... The Oatkers did something to me. That’s why," Sophia thought it would be fine if she phrased it like this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain it at all!

Karen instantly understood. She had her reservations about the matter.

However, whatever Sophia did was already more than enough. Now, Karen was aiming to completely take over the Oatker family!

"Um, can I ask you a question?" Karen felt slightly awkward asking it, but she had to.

"I'm listening," Sophia was extremely nice to Karen.

"Why are you suddenly being so polite to me? It's unnecessary," Karen asked. She really couldn't hold in her curiosity anymore.

The last time they had gone to the Lawrence family, Sophia still looked very arrogant. Why did she suddenly change her attitude?

"That's because..." Sophia replied automatically, only to quickly cover her mouth halfway.

"Because of what?" Karen was even more astonished.

"Because I respect you. Well, that's all. I'm busy now, so I'll hang up here. I'm sorry."

With that, Sophia hung up the phone. She felt nervous, just like how she first met her mother-in-law before her divorce a few years ago.

She quickly calmed herself down.

"Hey, Sophia, be careful, the Oatkers..."

Meanwhile, Karen stared at her mobile phone mindlessly. She was utterly flabbergasted and lost for words.

"President Lee, what's wrong?" Betty couldn't help but ask.

"Sophia is being really kind to me, and I don't know why," Karen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Kind? Why?"

"Maybe she's afraid of me," Karen was speechless. She wasn't thinking of taking over the Lawrence family at all!

She didn't think of it before, and she'd never think of doing it now. After all, Sophia and Chuck were working together.

Therefore, they were Karen's partners.

After listening to her words, Betty was also at a loss.

"What should we do now?" She asked.

A gleam flashed through Karen's eyes. If she took down the Oatker family now at the fastest speed she could manage, there would be both pros and cons from that outcome.

The advantage was that she could force the Yeager family to acknowledge her true strength.

However, the Yeager family could assume that she was weakened after taking over the Oatker family. Hence, they could choose to attack her right after that.

However, Karen felt that the possibility was not very high. The hidden families were so conceited. How could they take this opportunity seriously?

In addition, Brooke's current situation was probably pretty bad. Now, the Yeager family members were probably scrambling around, trying to find ways to cure Brooke.

Therefore, they were probably quite distracted as of now.

Karen was pretty good at judging the situation clearly. She was able to discern the pros and cons quickly, and look at the bigger picture in order to plan her next step.

No ordinary person could do so.

"Take the Oatkers down as soon as possible," Soon,

Karen ordered.

Betty nodded. They were already dealing with them, so of course they had to end the battle as soon as possible.

Furthermore, this was a great opportunity to do so.

After all, Sophia suddenly gave the Oatkers an extremely lethal gift that was way beyond their expectation. If Karen was taken by surprise, the Oatkers couldn't have seen this coming.

Now was the perfect time to strike!

With that, Karen and Betty went out.

When she saw Chuck coming back, she smiled and asked him, "Chucky, what did the Lee family say?"

"They just want to see you, then..." Chuck did not want to talk about this because he hated them now.

They really thought a simple apology could wipe away years of grudges and mistreatment, did they?

How could it be that simple?

"I know. Did you relay my message to them?" Karen asked gently.

She could tell that Chuck was in a bad mood.

"Yes, mom. By the way, why was there an earthquake outside?" Chuck asked after having noticed this.

"That was no earthquake. It was Sophia from the Lawrence family. She sent a pretty large gift to the Oatker family," Karen chuckled.

Chuck was astonished. It was Sophia?

Black Rose, who had returned together with Chuck, was shocked as well. However, she soon found it to be pretty reasonable. Sophia was the head of such a powerful family, but she had almost been assaulted by someone of the Oatker family. Her anger was justifiable. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Chucky, what did you say to Sophia?" Karen asked.

"Me? I-1 didn't say anything to her," Chuck trembled. He couldn't really hide any secrets from his mother.

Seeing his expression, Karen was suspicious and asked, "Chucky, what's wrong with you?"

Why did Chuck seem a bit flustered?

He was acting weird.

"No, Mom, I'm not feeling well. I have a headache," Chuck managed to find an excuse.

"A headache? Betty, bring over the medicine quickly," Karen said with concern. Their doctors had made the medicine by using the thousand-year ginseng that Chuck bought last time.

Betty ran back into the house in a hurry.

"A headache? Then why didn't you come back earlier?" Black Rose asked coldly.

Chuck was speechless. He didn't come back earlier because this was an excuse!

However, Black Rose actually managed to bring this up. He was very surprised.

On the way, Chuck was thinking about Sophia, so he was quite absent- minded. There was nothing he could do about it.

After a while, Betty came back. She placed the medicine in Chuck's hand and told him seriously, "Young Master, please take three pills every night and finish all of them. Don't forget."

She would check up on Chuck every day because it was important for the complete recovery of his head injury.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back to my room now," Chuck didn't know what Karen was going to do.

"Have a good rest. Don't go out if you have a headache," Karen couldn't do anything about Chuck.

"Okay," Chuck took the medicine graciously and went into the house. If he continued talking, he'd expose himself.

If his mother found out what he had done, she'd beat him to death for sure.

Therefore, he could only hope that his mother would never know.

Karen shook her head helplessly and turned to Black Rose, asking, "Black Rose, did Chucky meet with Sophia?"

"Yes, he did," Black Rose nodded.

"What on earth is going on?" Karen asked. Black Rose told her everything.

When Chuck just came back, he wanted to request for Black Rose not to say anything. However, he knew that she didn't really see anything happen. If he asked her not to tell, wouldn't that sound more suspicious?

Thus, he didn't say anything about that.

Karen's shock quickly turned to anger. She hissed coldly, "The Oatker family is really shameless! They actually treated Sophia like that!"

Betty was also angry. As a woman, she was extremely pissed when she heard something like this happen.

What was the difference between people like them and Frieda, who had taken nudes of Black Rose?

They were both equally vicious and shameless!

"Yes, Chuck saved Sophia and took her out of the hotel. Then, he asked Sophia's driver to take her home," Black Rose said.

With that, Karen finally got the whole picture. So that was what happened! Chuck had saved Sophia, which could explain why she was so nice to her on the phone a while ago. She was acting this way because of gratitude towards Chuck.

Karen didn't expect Chuck to do this. Now that she heard the truth, all her doubts from just now were gone. If things turned out like this, Chuck's cooperation with Sophia would only be smoother.

Karen was relieved.
