Sophia and Sonia burst out laughing.
"What? Oh, poor Karen Lee. Have you gone crazy after being abandoned by your family? How dare you blame the innocent!" Sophia sneered.
"Was it not enough when you attacked the Lee family? Are you trying to put the blame on us now that you can't do anything to them? How dare you!" Sonia tried to hold back her laughter.
How despicable!
Was Karen trying to reuse the same tactics on the Lawrence family? Wasn't it enough when she attacked the Lee family to warn them not to touch her son? Well, not that her attack was useful anyway.
"I don't accept your reason at all!"
Sophia snarled, "Well, what're you going to do after destroying ten of my bases? Tell me!"
"It seems that you have chosen to ignore my warning, Elise!" Karen stared straight at Elise.
"It's you!?" Elise cried out in surprise.
Both Sophia and Sonia were taken aback.
"After knocking out my son, you even dragged him to the Amazon. Have you forgotten?" Karen stared at her icily.
"What?"
Elise was shocked. Suddenly, she remembered. She finally understood why she felt that Karen looked a little familiar.
"Is Chuck Cannon your son?" Elise blurted out.
"Yes, he is my son. You know what you did to him," Karen kept her gaze locked on Elise.
"Y-you... Where is he?" Elise was furious.
Suddenly, Chuck, Yvette, Willa and Betty all appeared from behind Karen.
All of them were expressionless.
Elise stared at Chuck. In that instant, her anger flared up.
Sophia and Sonia were both astonished at her expression.
"Elise, when you said that you were having fun, were you referring to Karen's son?" Sophia asked without thinking.
All this was too unexpected.
Elise capturing Chuck to the Amazon?!
Sonia lost every bit of her anger, no longer as bold and demanding as just a while ago.
This really was Elise's fault. If she hadn't toyed with Chuck, why would Karen have come over?!
"Yeah, I didn't expect this since he didn't say anything about this at all," Elise was still furious.
Sophia was in shock. She didn't know what else to say.
She had finally come to know what happened.
Elise had provoked Chuck first, but she ended up getting defeated. She couldn't accept her loss and ordered her men to gang up on him. She even hit his head with an iron pipe to the point where he lost consciousness, and then brought him to the Amazon.
Then, she asked Chuck to teach her but was defeated and eventually taken as hostage when Chuck managed to escape.
It seemed that Elise was the one in the wrong after all.
Silence fell upon them.
Sophia, who was loud and forceful just moments ago, was silent now.
"So what? I even allowed him the liberty of eating and drinking comfortably there! Just as I said, he only needed to fight with me once. If I lost, I would let him go, and even pay him back. But even after all of that, he almost killed me! How dare he!"
Suddenly, the familiar feeling of despair overwhelmed Elise. She couldn't help but shriek in terror and fury.
"How can you still think that you're the one in the right?" Karen shook her head.
"Why? It's because I hate all of you! Why did he hit me? Why don't you ask him this instead?" Elise took her anger out on Karen.
"Well, it's because you provoked him and lost," Karen stated simply.
"So? Even if I had lost, he shouldn't have hit me!" Elise was furious as she recounted the incident. She could still feel Chuck's slap on her face even before they even started fighting. "If you were defeated, you deserve what you get. If you hadn't provoked him in the first place, nothing would've happened to you. Besides, who are you to provoke him?" Karen stated coldly.
"Who am I? Mother! I'm going to make them suffer! All of them!" Elise roared like a madman, overcome with shock and anger.
Sophia was stunned.
"Do you still think that I shouldn't have done it?" Karen asked.
Sophia and Sonia both exchanged looks. Quickly, Sophia regained her composure and scoffed, "Even if it was my daughter's fault, you still destroyed my bases. How dare you!"
