Cheryl drove to Willa's company. She wasn't sure whether Chuck was still there or not, but she had to get an answer.
Was it true that Chuck let her family off because of her daughter?
She was very nervous. Although the news about the Champ family had vanished, this must have happened after Chuck's order.
It meant that Chuck had let go of the Champ family.
However, Cheryl felt nervous and uneasy.
She did not know how to face Chuck.
How should she thank Chuck? She didn't know what to do at all.
She had been very depressed for the past few days. However, at this moment she was pleasantly surprised. She was not used to the change.
She got out of the car uneasily. She didn't know what to say, so she decided to wait in the parking lot.
After waiting for about three hours, the lift door finally opened. A man and a woman emerged.
Cheryl was nervous all of a sudden.
Cheryl was at a loss. She couldn't describe her feelings. She felt nervous as if she was facing her teacher back in her school days, or when she met her first husband for the first time.
"Mr... Mr. Cannon..." Cheryl ran over. She kept her head low, not daring to face Chuck.
Chuck looked at her with no expression.
"Chucky, I'll wait for you for a while in the car," Willa Logan said.
Willa was really worried that Cheryl would bring any bad luck to Chuck.
"Yes," Chuck said with a smile.
Willa glanced at Cheryl and walked towards the car.
Cheryl bit her lip and said, "President Logan, I'm sorry for the trouble caused."
Willa nodded and got into her car, staring at Chuck.
The atmosphere was pretty awkward.
There was total silence.
"Chuck, you, you have forgiven me, right?" Cheryl said nervously.
"Forgive you?" There was no emotion on Chuck's face.
After all, it was Chuck who called Betty to stop. However, Chuck thought to himself, "Why should I do this?"
The Champ family would not be able to defend their businesses under the current circumstances. It would not be long before the Champ family would be full of debts. Then, Chuck could achieve his goal. Why did he stop suddenly at this time?
Chuck thought about it for a long time and felt that the main reason was that Cheryl's daughter was too sensible. Perhaps... he didn't have the heart to see Cheryl's daughter suffering!
"If you didn't forgive me, then why..." Cheryl's face turned pale when she heard Chuck's question.
If that wasn't the case, was this a prelude to the storm?
"I don't think I have forgiven you. The main reason is that you have a good daughter," Chuck said flatly.
Cheryl heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"You don't have to thank me," Chuck shrugged. He did not want to continue the conversation
"Wait, please wait," Cheryl said apprehensively.
"Anything else?" Chuck turned to look at her.
"I, I don't know what to say. I'm very grateful for your mercy and forgiveness..."
"I've already said that it is because of your daughter. Without her, your Champ family will still be wiped out," Chuck said coldly.
"I know, but thank you. How can I show my gratitude?" Cheryl bit her lip.
She really didn't know what to do.
Should she give him some money?
He could ruin the Champ family easily, so he might not even care if she were to give him all the Champ family's money to show her gratefulness.
In that case, how could she thank him, other than money?
Herself?
Cheryl used to be confident about herself. Although she had a child, she maintained her appearance well. Men were interested in her.
However, as she had brought bad fortune to her two husbands, many good men did not dare to approach her. Cheryl knew that.
When she cried in front of Chuck back then and was willing to fulfill all his requests, Chuck did not show any interest in her despite her offer.
Cheryl certainly would not think that she could thank Chuck by sleeping with him. She was just clueless about how to show her gratitude.
"Do you want to thank me?" Chuck maintained a poker face.
The reason why he let go of the Champ family was not to ask for anything in return. It was mainly because of Cheryl's daughter.
