Chuck didn't know who was targeting him because he didn't remember offending anyone. But what he had to do now was to solve the current problem. These people were all poisoned and vomiting, which was a huge problem.
Yolanda had already begun to handle the situation and the security guards of the plaza had already arrived.
Lara's tears rolled down her cheeks, aggrieved. She said, "Chuck, what's going? Will this impact your plaza?"
"I'm sure it will," Chuck replied. He had to think of a way to contain the situation.
"I'm sorry," Lara cried as she said. She had never encountered something like this and she was really scared.
"It's okay," Chuck shook his head and rang Betty immediately. He asked her to come over and do what she could to help. Chuck would also compensate the victims with money.
After the phone call, Chuck finally felt relieved. Lara wiped her tears and said, "Chuck, I don't know what happened."
She hadn't gone out for more than a month, staying in the cafe all day to take care of her business. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing despite working so hard.
"It's okay," Chuck turned to look at her and said. He hadn't seen her for more than a month. Lara had changed a little, but not her body figure for sure. Her figure was as good as it was before, but the look in her eyes had changed.
There was not much dignity in her eyes. She looked so wronged that Chuck wanted to comfort her.
"Will you let me continue to run my business here?" Lara whispered, worried. She could imagine the impact such a serious case would implicate the plaza. Her business had been very good recently. She and her cousin could make around thirteen to fourteen thousand dollars per month. But if Chuck decided not to let her continue, the income would be gone for sure.
"No," Chuck said.
Lara burst into tears and pleaded, "Please don't, Chuck. Please let me continue my business. I really don't know what's going."
Chuck glanced at her and said, "Why are you crying? If you keep crying, I'll spread your nudes."
Lara wiped her tears hurriedly, "No, don't spread my photos."
Chuck ignored her. Of course, he would not do that. He just did not want Lara to cry anymore. But Lara had a strange feeling and wondered if he usually looked at her nudes.
Thinking of this, Lara blushed.
In any case, Lara still believed that Chuck would not spread her photos, instead, he would just enjoy them himself.
However, Lara did not know that Chuck had not looked at them for a long time. He didn't have the mood to do so.
Soon, Betty came to deal with the situation in person. She had a lot of experience with things like this, so she quickly arranged for all the affected people to go to the hospital. She handled it very swiftly, and Chuck breathed a sigh of relief. Yolanda arranged for the security guards to evacuate the onlookers. Fortunately, there were not many people there at this time.
Otherwise, the impact would be huge.
As Betty and Yolanda dealt with the situation, Lara whispered to Chuck, "Chuck, please let me continue running my business. I promise that such a thing will never happen again."
"You can't guarantee that. I'll suspend the business for the next few days," Chuck replied. He felt that he had to do something, but Lara cried again in a grievance. Chuck stared at her exasperatedly and threatened once more, "Are you crying again? Do you want me to spread the photos?"
"No, I will listen to you as long as you let me continue," Lara lowered her head and said.
Chuck did not answer her. At this moment, Betty was done dealing with the problem. She glanced at Lara and her eyes were fierce. Lara was scared and she hid behind Chuck.
"Young Master, this is not a simple case. President Lee told me to remind you that you have a cousin. He might be the one responsible for this," Betty informed Chuck. She had made a call to Karen before she arrived earlier.
This was Karen's thoughts and Betty agreed.
Chuck was quite baffled. Cousin? Did that mean that his mother had other siblings? Well, now that he thought of it, his mother was probably not the only child. But why did his cousin do this to him?
He had never seen this cousin before, so what was he trying to achieve? Chuck was confused by this. If it was really his so-called cousin who had caused the ruckus, Chuck would definitely retaliate.
Chuck then asked about the details, but Betty didn't say much. All she said was that President Lee was from a huge family, so there must be conflict within the family. This couldn't be avoided. Chuck could only be more cautious for now, and Betty would send someone to keep an eye on him.
Chuck was relieved, but he also sighed. His cousin, whom he had never met before, suddenly targeted him. Was it necessary?
