Sophia found the whole thing ridiculous. So what if Chuck was Karen's son?
How could someone from a family like that compare to Elise?
"Let go of Sophia. How much do you want? I'll give it to you!" Sonia shouted.
Sonia felt her anger boiling as she saw Sophia being held hostage. The two of them were always close to each other as they were sisters by blood, and they had always been in charge of the Lawrence family together.
"I'm not here for money," Karen shook her head, her gaze still fixed on Elise.
"Then what do you want? If you dare to hurt Sophia, I'll kill you and your entire family!" Sonia threatened.
If she really wanted to, there was nothing she couldn't do.
Was destroying ten bases not enough for Karen? Who did she think she was?
"I dislike being threatened. I dislike it even more when someone threatens my family members. Shall we let your little sister over there rest for a bit?"
Without any warning, Karen kicked Sonia.
"Ah!"
She flew backwards from the force of the kick, falling onto a sofa and causing it to collapse on impact.
Immediately, she fainted on the spot.
Elise was taken aback. Sophia flared up in anger, "How dare you hit Sonia?"
"I don't care," Karen replied.
She had known about Sonia for a long time now, and she had always wanted to kick her *ss.
Even if she were to be treated by a doctor now, she wouldn't be able to walk for another six months.
She would be bedridden for at least half a year.
"Karen Lee, what on earth do you want?" Sophia was trembling in anger.
Sophia's heart ached as the image of Sonia fainting from the kick appeared in her mind.
"Shouldn't you have known by now? Ever since I've destroyed your first base, you should know that I'm enraged," Karen was indeed livid.
She had never felt this way before. Having to watch her own son being beaten up by others, having to see him locked up in that kind of place and above all, almost losing him in the Amazon. She was heartbroken.
"Karen Lee, what do you want? If you're displeased, take me instead. Let my mother go!" Elise glared at Karen with bloodshot eyes.
"Elise, stay out of this," Sophia warned.
With someone as cruel as Karen, Sophia couldn't guarantee that Elise would be able to make it out alive. "Mom," Elise did not budge.
"You still won't admit that you're wrong?" Karen questioned her.
"No. I didn't do anything wrong!" Elise screamed back at her.
What on earth did she do? As far as she knew, she had made no mistakes!
No - the biggest mistake of all was that she shouldn't have let Chuck get away. She should've killed him right then and there!
That was the biggest and the only mistake that she made.
"Oh really?" Karen's gaze grew cold.
Chuck stared at her. How could Elise still not admit to her faults?!
Willa, Yvette and Betty all glared at her.
This woman really was shameless.
"It's wrong of you to hold my mother hostage; it's wrong of you to kick my aunt; it's wrong of you to destroy my family's bases. The ones who are in the wrong are you and your son, Chuck!" Elise roared back hysterically.
She was furious. She wasn't the one at fault here.
Narrowing her eyes, Karen tightened her grip on Sophia.
"Don't touch my mother. If you hurt her, I will make sure all of us perish together! It's all your fault, and it's all Chuck's fault!"
"It's his fault that he's befriended Regine! It's his fault that he hit me! When I caught him and sent him to the Amazon, it was his rightful punishment! Everything is Chuck's fault!"
"So you still won't admit that you're wrong. Very well," Karen advanced towards Elise with her hand still around Sophia.
Elise was trembling. She felt pressured as Karen approached her. It was something that she had never felt before.
"You said that everything is Chuck's fault?" Karen questioned icily.
"Yes. He's weak and timid. This was his biggest fault!" Elise stared at her, refusing to admit her mistakes.
"So, you think that you're more powerful than him?"
