My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 168

Wallace's words made it clear that the owner of City Square was not Chuck Cannon, but Harold Wendel.

The relatives at the table were all talking about it, and they looked down on Chuck even more now.

Manny Liu and her two best friends were stunned. Wasn’t Chuck the owner of the plaza?

This should not be possible, but Wallace's words couldn't be wrong. What was going on?

"Your news seemed to be out-of-date. Chuck has already taken over City Square." Zelda was angry. The previous owner of the plaza had told her about this. She didn't believe it at first, but now she did.

"Is that so?"

Wallace Hanne smiled and said, "Although City Square is not big, the land is still very expensive. Getting it under your possession is impossible without paying at least six hundred to seven hundred million dollars!"

"Six hundred to seven hundred million? So expensive!"

"Then it couldn't possibly be him. He doesn't look like he has that much money."

"Alas, his showboating has now reached its limits. What is the point of lying anymore?"

Several relatives sighed in a sarcastic tone. The last sentence especially made Manny feel even more embarrassed. Just what was going on?

Didn't City Square belong to Chuck?

Her two best friends were even more surprised. "No way, there has to be some misunderstanding here!"

"I think so too. Chuck should be the owner of the plaza. Otherwise, how would he have settled the issue with the broken vase last time?"

It was only when the two best friends started talking that Manny felt a little better. There had to be a misunderstanding.

They looked at Chuck.

"Zelda, do you care to explain? City Square isn't someplace that could be easily bought over by just anyone. Six to seven hundred million is not a small sum, and I feel maybe Chuck had a little too much to drink and accidentally said the wrong name. Could you perhaps help him to recall the name?" Wallace smiled deeper, his tone full of sarcasm.

Zelda was furious. He was implying that Chuck was drunk and that led to him showboating!

"What are you talking about? City Square belongs to him!" Zelda Maine said seriously.

The corners of Wallace's mouth curled up, and there was a hint of disdain.

"Zelda, stop it." A relative shook his head.

"We all know your boyfriend’s true self now. There's really no point in continuing to lie. As your uncle, I have to advise you youngins that it would be better to stay humble and not spew out such bullsh*t. People like him are not worth committing your future to. Think about it!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for Wallace’s connections, we might have been fooled by him. How could he be so arrogant in front of us? Seeing him like this, I have a pretty good idea of how he normally acts like. I don't even want to sit on the same table with him now."

All the relatives were disappointed. Zelda herself felt wronged. Why did they not believe her? Chuck was indeed the owner of the plaza.

"Zelda, how about I introduce you to someone else? Split up with him now, he simply isn't worth your time. Being a liar, I can assure you that he will continue to lie to you in the future and you will never really be happy," another relative said.

"Auntie." Zelda's eyes were red with anger.

She turned to look at her mother, and the disappointment on Manny's face was evident.

Chuck didn't say a single word during this entire ordeal, and this made her upset.

Even her two best friends were now suspicious of what was going on.

Zelda's heart was aching, but she felt especially sorry for Chuck. He must be feeling really wronged!

Zelda stood up and bit her lips, unwilling to let her aggrieved tears flow out. "Let's go, Chuck."

"Let him go by himself, Zelda. We're all family. It's all right!"

"Yeah, let him go. He's nothing but a liar. We'd better not let him stay here."

Some of her relatives said.

Chuck looked up and saw Zelda's grievance. He wanted to comfort her so badly. Looking at this person who had helped him so much, just what was she to him?

Chuck himself didn't even know. He wanted to comfort her when he saw that she was about to cry.

Maybe this is the feeling of a little brother wanting to comfort his older sister!

"It's fine. We haven't finished eating yet!" Chuck said. He took her hand and let her sit down.

Zelda's tears came out, mainly because she felt sorry for Chuck. He should be having a good meal, but instead, he was caught in this situation because of her.
