"One dollar? Are you looking down on me?" Alexandrina took a sip of red wine.
"No, it's merely a small gift. Anyway, I'll be happy to have such a powerful individual as my auntie."
"You are such a glib talker. Little guy, be obedient. I promise no one in the world will dare to bully you. Don't count on your mother on this. She is far worse than me in this aspect," Alexandrina mentioned proudly.
Chuck trusted his mother even more though. However, he pretended to be flattered and said, "Thank you, Aunty."
"I wanted to shoot you just now," she continued.
Chuck smiled and replied, "Auntie, you're a good person. Why will you do so?"
"That may not be true."
"Auntie, what's your name?" Chuck asked curiously.
She had a superb figure. She was gorgeous and confident, yet at the same time cold and slightly shameless. A person like her would actually bring much joy to people around her.
"Are you starting to like me?" Her eyebrows twitched.
"My name is Chuck Cannon." He refused to answer that question, how would he even like her?
"Of course I know you're Chuck. Even your mother doesn't know my name. What makes you think I will tell you?"
"Forget it then." Chuck was heading out. He had to tell his mother about the five conditions.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Sing a song for me." Alexandrina laid on the sofa casually.
She was not willing to let Chuck leave in such a manner. She was annoyed that this little boy had even tried to set her up not long ago.
"Then I'll sing you a nursery rhyme. Twinkle twinkle little star..."
"Get out!" Alexandrina yelled angrily.
"I... I want to go in and have a look," Yvette, who had been lowering her head, finally uttered something.
She was too anxious. She worried that Chuck would suffer a lot of injustice for her sake. She would feel sorry for him.
"No, Chuck knows what to do."
Karen felt at ease instead. At the very least, her son had the capability to negotiate with others all alone.
"Okay." Yvette continued to lower her head and bit her lips to the extent that they got chapped.
The door opened and Chuck came out.
Yvette immediately ran over and commented, "Hubby, are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Chuck stared at his mother.
Karen was at ease, and Betty felt relieved.
"Mother, she agreed to withdraw the kill order, but only on five conditions," Chuck commented.
"Five conditions? What are the conditions?" Karen shot a glance at the private room.
"She hasn't told me yet."
Chuck was also not worried. There was not much conflict between her and his mother, thus she would not make things difficult for himself too.
"Well, let's make a move." Karen wanted to bring Chuck home.
"Okay," Chuck took Yvette's hand and agreed.
Yvette bit her lips coldly and mentioned, "I want to go in for a moment."
"Go in for what?" Chuck queried in surprise. Needless to say, he didn't want to go in again.
"I... I still want to be a killer," Yvette remarked while lowering her head.
Chuck sighed and answered, "Alright."
Yvette pushed the door open and went in alone.
"Mom, are we going home later?" Chuck asked. He was looking forward to meeting his elders as well as Brayden Lee.
Subsequently, Chuck could do something else to draw Black Rose out!
Anyways, he had so many photos of Black Rose in his hands. If he circulated those photos out, she would definitely take the initiative to look for him.
"Later... let's go back to my house first. We'll talk then." Karen didn't want to tell Chuck that she had been driven out by the Lee family. "Well, mother, you make the call then. By the way, I need to find Black Rose."
"She has returned to the United States, even so, it's not easy to find her. It's hard to find a killer if she hides herself," Karen remarked. She knew that top serial killers like Black Rose would definitely have a plan B in mind.
Unless Karen spent time hunting Black Rose down, it would be very difficult to capture her. Nevertheless, Karen was occupied with other matters lately.
Chuck muttered softly that he had some photos in his hand that could act as decoy.
Betty and Karen were dumbfounded, "What photos? How to draw her out?"
