Black Rose was sure that it was not Brayden's voice, but who else would want to kidnap Chuck?
It didn't make any sense!
In the United States, many were unaware that Karen was Chuck's mother. They wouldn't know that Chuck was secretly rich, so why would one kidnap him for blackmail?
Besides, even if they knew that Chuck was Karen's son, very few would have the courage to do such a thing.
Karen asked, "What kind of man is he?"
Black Rose said, "I've asked the spy but I couldn't get anything out of him, so I killed him. He was calling someone at that time. I answered the phone, only to hear a man say 'She's really cunning...' before ending the call. I think you know this man, but he's not Brayden Lee!"
"It's not Brayden Lee? And he said that I'm cunning?" Karen was at work. She stood up and stared out of the window. Did this mean that she had successfully found a bodyguard for Chuck preemptively?
"Yes, that's what this person said," continued Black Rose.
"Alright. I got it. Well done, Black Rose."
"It's my job. Then, what should I do now?" Black Rose asked. This matter was not simple. Anyway, when Black Rose answered the phone just now, she heard the man's tone, which sent chills down her spine.
He was definitely not an ordinary person.
It had to be a man who could hold a candle to Karen. Otherwise, Black Rose wouldn't have this kind of feeling.
"You have to be careful first. If the man said that, others might be spying on my son as well. But before that, he may try to deal with you first," Karen warned cautiously.
Since that person had started this, he would go to far lengths to achieve his goal!
"Understood."
Black Rose hung up and looked at the corpse on the ground. She took out a bottle of liquid from her pocket and dripped it on the body. Slowly, the body bubbled, as if it was being corroded. This was potent acid that could erode anything it touched.
Black Rose returned to her position and continued to watch Chuck with her binoculars. She also continued to eat her unfinished hamburger.
In her office, Karen was upset. It was not about some minor issues, but...
She felt uneasy and was on pins and needles.
She took out her phone, stared at it for a while, and searched for a number. She sighed and dialed it.
The phone rang for a few seconds before someone finally answered it.
"Karen," answered a gentle voice. In this world, there were only a few people who had such a calming tone, and one of them was Chuck's father, Chadrick.
"Hi, Chadrick, do you have enough money?" Karen asked in a soft voice.
"Yes, I do."
"When are you coming back? It's been a few days since Chucky came back, you..."
"Soon."
"Well, it's not urgent. Focus on your work! I've transferred you some money. Just tell me if you don't have enough, okay?"
"Alright," Chadrick responded.
After hanging up, Karen stared at the phone number on the screen and fell silent. Since when had their conversation become so empty?
Karen was not the kind of person who sought romance. She liked simple things. But as a woman, she desired to be cared for, even for just a little bit.
However, it has been a long time since they last met. Karen felt that she had given a lot in this relationship. Was it because they had been married for too long that Chadrick had lost his feelings?
Karen wasn't like that.
Every time she saw Chadrick, she felt like it was the first time she had fallen in love with him. She didn't know how Chadrick felt every time he saw her. Was it because... It had been too long, he didn't feel anything anymore?
Thinking about it, they had been married for a long 20 years. Karen thought that time would deepen their relationship. She always did.
She sighed, "Chadrick, you've changed, haven't you? It's fine if you've changed, but you mustn't do anything that could harm Chucky. Don't do that. He's also your son. If there's anything, do it to me..."
Staring at his number, Karen fell silent...
