My Billionaire Mom novel Chapter 411

"I beg your pardon?" Cheryl frowned. She could not believe how ignorant this man was.

The Champ family was one of the Four Greatest Households. Did he not know this?

Was he even aware that this hotel was owned by the Allen family?

How could there be someone as clueless as him? This was the first time Cheryl had met a person like Chuck.

Chuck looked at her cluelessly. While he knew for certain that he didn't know this woman, he had recognised her surname. After all, anyone born and bred in the country knew about the Four Greatest Households.

He wondered if the Champ family this woman had mentioned was one of the households.

Chuck stopped doubting himself eventually as he took in the woman standing before him. Yes, she was definitely from the great Champ family. The aura she emanated was one of nobility, a higher class. It seemed fitting.

"Oh, are you talking about the Champ family of the Four Greatest Households? If that's the case, yes, I do know of your family. So?" Chuck asked, feeling embarrassed.

"Does he really know?" Cheryl thought to herself in doubt.

She furrowed her eyebrows deeper and demanded, "Answer my question. Were you the one asking to buy the Allen family's hotel?"

"Yes, it was me. How did you know?" Chuck was very curious. Why had someone from the Champ family shown up in the Allen family's territory?

Could it be that the Four Greatest Households were on better terms with each other now?

Cheryl glanced at Chuck haughtily, ignoring his query. "How will you buy it then?" she continued to ask.

Right as that question left her mouth, she had regretted it. After all, it was pointless to ask this question to a nobody like this man.

Despite that, she did it anyway.

That was because she thought the situation was interesting.

As a member of the Champ family, she found it amusing that someone had wanted to humiliate the Allen family like that.

This was the reason why she had come over to inquire. If the person in question turned out to not have enough money to purchase the hotel, she was willing to help them out and spare some to them.

However, looking at Chuck now, she had given up on that thought. Chuck didn't look like he could even pay for a quarter of the cost.

He might have just been messing around before.

And it just so happened that she had picked up interest on the matter.

"Well, if he is willing to sell it to me, I can buy it with a single phone call," Chuck declared as he shrugged nonchalantly. It was true. If he wanted to, he could just phone Karen and get the money instantly.

"With a single phone call?" Cheryl repeated in incredulity. She then scoffed and thought that this person was definitely lying. There was no point in furthering the conversation anymore.

This man was bold, brave even. But he was too ignorant.

"Yes," Chuck confirmed.

Cheryl stayed silent. There was no need for her to say anything else. This was plain ridiculous. She decided to stop snooping around as it would lead to unnecessary trouble.

Yes, she would just remain quiet for now.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Chuck asked dejectedly. Why did no one ever believe him? Did he look like a liar? He was sure that wasn't it.

Cheryl, on the other hand, waited quietly for the elevator door to open.

"I'll make the call right now if you don't believe me!" Chuck took out his phone and then dialed Karen's number in front of Cheryl. Soon, the call was picked up.

"Hey, Mom, there's this hotel I really want to buy... Well, it's owned by the Allen family... So, you agree then? Okay. Hmm... I think it'll cost about six to seven billion dollars at most... Alright, thanks, Mom."

Chuck hung up not long after. Karen had told him that she would transfer the money to him immediately.

He was quite surprised that such a large sum of money could be transferred in a short time. But what he didn't know was that Karen owned a bank in the United States.

"My mom will transfer me the money right away," Chuck told Cheryl as he wriggled the phone in her face.

Cheryl only spared Chuck a glance, then she proceeded to turn away to look elsewhere.

This must be a joke. Cheryl regretted ever coming down here. She couldn't believe that she had taken the initiative to talk to such a pretentious person.

Even she could not understand why she had done this.

Soon, Chuck's phone pinged. Reading the notification, he saw that Karen had already transferred eight billion dollars to him. His confidence skyrocketed at that.

"Look here. This is the transfer notification..." Chuck said as he started to show Cheryl his phone. However, she was still determinedly looking away from him.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened at that moment. Without looking back, Cheryl walked out right away without saying a word. She wasn't interested to see whatever it was that he had wanted to show her.

Chuck was rendered speechless by that. He had been telling the truth all this time and now that he had the evidence to prove himself, this woman didn't even want to look at it! One look would be all it took to prove that he wasn't a liar!

Once Cheryl walked out, she headed straight to her car.
