My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 408

Manny sighed. Did Chuck not understand that they were all in someone else's territory right now?

"Zelda, tell Chuck to stop speaking please," Manny pleaded helplessly.

"Okay." Zelda started to worry. If Chuck spoke up, he would anger the Allen family, wouldn't he?

"Chuck," Zelda started to say as she bit her lip nervously.

"It'll be alright," Chuck reassured with a smile. Zelda was relieved by it and uttered, "Okay, I believe you."

She felt enveloped in a sense of security.

Zelda had remained single for a long while. She knew that she wanted to stay that way and never marry because men couldn't give her the sense of security she had longed for.

However, she had recently realized that Chuck could be that man for her.

The simple words he had uttered had lit a fire in her soul.

"Mom, let Chuck handle this," Zelda said reassuringly to Manny.

"I think we better leave it alone, Zelda. We really can't afford to offend them," Manny insisted with a bitter tone. How could they possibly deal with one of the Four Greatest Households?

They were next to nothing in their eyes.

Chuck was still young and too confident. He couldn't fully comprehend how awful the situation truly was.

They'd better not do anything rash. Otherwise, if they ended up offending the Allen family, Manny couldn't imagine what horrible consequences they might have to endure.

"Mom, Chuck will handle this. Don't worry," Zelda stressed. Maybe Chuck knew some of the other members from the Four Greatest Households. If he did, they could get away unscathed.

Or else, if they were kicked out in the end, Zelda's father's business was likely to come to an end. Everyone would know that they had somehow offended the Allen family. And if word got out, who in their right mind would dare work with their company by then?

Because if they eventually decided to work together despite that, it would mean that they have inadvertently offended the Allen family.

Generally speaking, ordinary people wouldn't compromise themselves like that. They would simply stop cooperating with her father's company and then, the company would eventually go bankrupt.

Which was why whatever unfolded on this day was extremely pivotal.

Manny let out a huff of exasperation. She knew she couldn't hold Zelda back anymore. She would just be ready to apologize as sincerely as she could and hope that the Allen family wouldn't further their argument with Chuck.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Chuck," Zelda said gently.

"I'm glad to help," Chuck replied while looking back at her

When he saw Zelda's red lips, images of what had transpired between them earlier flashed across his mind. Zelda had actually pulled Chuck to the bathroom.

Seeing the lustful gaze Chuck directed at her, she turned away quickly and blushed shyly.

She felt that Chuck and herself were both getting bolder by the minute.

"Stop being such a fool already! Are you all playing dumb? Do I need to remind you whose property you people are on?" Hattie started to taunt. Was this guy stupid? How dare he act so recklessly in front of the Allen family!

He really was looking for trouble, wasn't he?

"Is it yours?" Chuck asked flatly.

"It's my relative's! Do you happen to have powerful relatives as I do?" Hattie mocked proudly. She had more control over the situation than he did, she was certain of it.

It made her feel superior.

"Well, you just said it was your relative's. It's not even your property, so what are you gloating about exactly?" Chuck questioned her.

"How dare you! Manager, get them out of here now!" Hattie yelled back in retort to his insult.

The manager nodded and said, "Don't let me repeat myself. Leave now or face the consequences!"

He had announced it to the public loudly this time. This was the beginning of a mess. The manager was going to kick them out no matter what.

"Oh, pray tell. What are these consequences you speak of?" Chuck inquired nonchalantly.

He knew that he couldn't keep a low profile now. If he didn't do something about it this time around, Zelda's father's company might be jeopardized.

The manager frowned and said, "This feels like déjà vu to me. You know, someone else had asked that same question before."

"What became of that person then?" Chuck asked curiously.

Manny let out a helpless sigh. She was quite petrified at the moment. She had heard of this matter before. After all, the person the manager had mentioned was someone she knew. It was said that this person was also a boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars. However, he had gotten drunk and stirred up some trouble. At that time, it was the same manager who had asked him to leave.

The boss had been drunk so he hadn't known what he was doing at the time. So, he had broken an ashtray at the hotel. Just one.

After that, one of his friends managed to pour some cold water on him which instantly sobered him up. By the time he had processed what he did, he looked horrified. The manager, however, merely looked at him quietly.
