My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 398

Karen had nothing to be afraid of. Duncan was the one who had made the first move and attacked Chuck. Now that Duncan had died by her hand, she knew they would threaten to disown her. However, she would face it head-on.

Karen had been in a similar situation before. When she had married Chuck's father, almost everyone in the family opposed it. He had no power, no family background, and no money.

Almost everyone in the family thought that he was not worthy of Karen. Karen had ignored them all and married him in the face of adversity.

In the end, Karen ended up making her own choices happily.

There had been no friction between Chuck's father and herself over the many years they had been married as well. Karen thought she had made the right choice.

Karen was glad that she had not given up on Chuck's father and stood her ground.

She did not look disturbed in the slightest so Willa felt at ease. She knew that Karen had gone through a lot before. The incident on this day had been serious and it was likely that Karen would be driven out of the Lee family. However, Willa believed that Karen would get through this.

A little bit of worry still nagged at Willa though. After all, the Lee family had always favored boys over girls so Karen had not been held in high regard since her birth. She was even looked down upon by many members of the family and was excluded by them.

Ever since Karen was a child, she had been talented. She was independent and her ability was particularly outstanding. She was better than most people in her family.

At that time, Karen's brothers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on college per person. However, she in comparison had only been spared a few hundred dollars.

But she did not complain. In fact, she was grateful for that. She had worked hard to obtain the wealth she had today. Her brothers could not compare to her hard-earned achievements.

Karen had grown up in a self-dependent environment.

Now that Karen had killed Duncan who was the successor of the family, she knew that her family would take their revenge.

Willa really wanted to return to the United States with Karen.

"Auntie Karen, are you going to tell Chucky now?" Willa asked, worried.

"That won't be necessary," Karen said. She would certainly not tell Chuck how dire the matter had become. It didn't matter if the killer blow had been dealt with by her or not. Duncan had to die either way.

"Alright," Willa sighed.

"I'll have to return first. I'll leave the farewells to you," Karen said and promptly got on the helicopter. She then went to the airport. There was a private jet waiting for her there which proceeded to fly her back to the United States.

Watching Karen leave, Willa felt worried. Soon, she turned her head and sought Chuck out.

Chuck knew that Karen would have to leave soon but he hadn't expected her to leave in such a hurry.

"Auntie Logan," Chuck called. He could feel that Karen was in trouble. Brayden would have definitely started his act of vengeance by now because of Duncan's death.

"Chucky, get back in and rest up," Willa said as her heart ached. After all, Chuck was badly injured right now. He needed to recover.

"Auntie Logan, you are so nice to me," Chuck replied. He didn't know how to properly express how moved he was by Willa's arrival. "If I give her a hug right now, would she refuse?" he thought.

Chuck did not dare to do so. He was starting to gain more and more respect for her.

"Don't mention it. Go rest now," Willa ushered. She really wanted to check on Chuck's injuries at that instant but how could she do that when Yvette was here?

"Alright," Chuck replied as he turned away and walked down the stairs with Willa. Hotel Luna had dealt some damages, it was a mess up there. Chuck had to call for repairs to start immediately tomorrow. He couldn't risk closing down the entire hotel.

As Chuck entered his room, he found that Yvette had already fallen asleep on the bed from fatigue. She was seriously injured. Chuck felt distressed as he slowly walked up to her. He gently lay beside her and kissed her on the cheek.

Chuck shut his eyes and started to doze off with Yvette in his arms. She felt a little cold. She curled herself up and pushed her body closer, settling into Chuck's arms eventually.

Chuck felt at ease and didn't bother doing anything else. He was exhausted as well. And so, he fell asleep like that.

......

When Karen landed in the United States, she calmly walked down the platform out of the plane. Dozens of black Mercedes-Benzs were parked in the private airport, waiting for her. All of the Lee family's members were present. Karen was silent as she moved quickly.

Just as Karen stepped onto land, an elderly man in a suit got out of his car to greet her. He was Elias Xinos, the butler of the Lee family.
