Betty was shocked. Karen had exceeded her expectations once again. She honestly thought that the Karen she was looking at now was at her peak.
"But won't this hidden family... Won't they start to..." Betty was concerned.
Currently, the dilemma with the Oatker family was yet resolved. To make matters worse, this hidden family wasn't one that the Four Greatest Households could compare themselves to.
"It doesn't matter. No one is allowed to force my son into anything. I'll settle this for him," Karen said.
"Alright then, I'll take Young Master back home later. How should we deal with the Lawrence Family?" Betty asked.
Chuck had been beaten into a miserable state this time round. They had to return the favour back to them tenfold!
"I asked Chucky, but I don't think he knows much about that. Come on, let's head back," Karen replied.
"Oh, by the way, how about the person who has been spying on Young Master all this while? Should we just let him be?" Betty asked in a worried tone.
It was a big issue, wasn't it? If this was to continue on, wouldn't Chuck's whereabouts be known to that woman all the time?
"Just leave it. Don't provoke the Whitlock family for the time being. Let me deal with the affairs of the Oatker family first, and..." Karen suddenly trailed off into silence.
"Is this about Young Master's father, Chadrick?" Betty inquired.
She could feel that Karen was very disappointed.
Karen had planted a tracking device on the bullet and followed it. She must have found something out.
Additionally, Chadrick had not been in contact recently. After all, the news about Karen's break-in into the Lee family household in the middle of the night had already spread throughout the country. It was impossible for him to not know about it at this point.
"Well, I'll figure it out soon. He... Why would he have such thoughts? Chucky is his own flesh and blood, I don't understand why he would do this," Karen said, feeling upset.
She really could not figure it out.
If she did something wrong, he could've told her!
"President Lee, don't overthink too much. The Young Master is still waiting," Betty reminded.
She could feel Karen's evident sadness.
After all, this man who she had been loyal to for so long did not return the favour.
It was too confusing.
Karen grunted softly in acknowledgement. She shook her head and tried to sort out her thoughts.
She then took out her phone and called Black Rose. Black Rose was still in the jungle searching high and low. When her phone started to vibrate, she looked at the caller I.D. and saw that it was Karen.
She answered the call straight away.
"Willa has found my son."
Black Rose let out an audible sigh of relief at that. She had spent so many days searching for him, so she could finally rest now.
"I'll send you an address. Come over and have dinner with me," Karen continued.
"I'd better rest up first. I just found a nice tree to sleep on, so I'm going to take a shrt nap."
"Alright, thank you."
"No problem. He... I'm glad to hear that he's alright," Black Rose said, hanging up the phone instantly. She climbed up the aforementioned tree and found a perfect spot to lie down.
It was incredibly comfortable.
She was exhausted. With eyes closed, her thoughts started to wander. "Some green bean cake would be amazing right now..." She thought, licking her lips at the image of the cake she had conjured in her mind.
"Auntie Logan,"
Chuck had wanted to resume his slumber. However, now that he was laying his head on Willa's lap, he couldn't lull himself to sleep.
After hearing what his mother had said just now, he couldn't stop his thoughts from flooding his brain. "What's wrong?" Willa asked, smiling gently. She combed through Chuck's hair with her hand affectionately.
"I can't sleep."
"Do you want to talk then?"
"That would be nice. Hey, Auntie Logan, can I ask you a question?" Chuck looked at her.
"Sure, go for it."
Chuck wanted to ask why Willa never wore short jeans. After all, he really wanted to see how it would look on her. However, he knew that it was too inappropriate of a question to ask her.
"What is it?" Willa prompted softly with a smile after Chuck fell silent.
"I... Oh, forget it. I'm going to go back to sleep," He shook his head. Willa had done so much just to find him. How could he ask her such a silly question after all that?
It would definitely make her feel uncomfortable.
Then, they wouldn't be able to chat regularly afterwards.
