"Chucky, it's fine."
Willa couldn't say it at all. She was the kind of girl who was accustomed to burying everything in her heart.
She liked Chuck in private, and it was enough that she saw Chuck being happy. It was not important for her to do anything else.
With this kind of character, Willa could not explain anything to him.
Chuck was helpless.
"It's really nothing," Willa smiled gently. Now that she was alive, it was best to maintain this relationship.
After all, she already promised Yvette. She couldn't and wouldn't have anything to do with Chuck anymore.
In addition, Chuck didn't like her. If he didn't have those feelings towards her, it would be useless for her to confess out loud. This would only make their relationship even more awkward.
There was no need to go so far.
"Alright then. Rest well," Chuck helped her to the bed.
"Okay."
Chuck went out in ease. Meanwhile, Willa laid on the bed. She could only sigh, her gaze bleak.
"Chucky, it's not that I don't want to say out loud. I especially want to tell you my feelings. I don't even know when it started, but I've started missing you a lot. I like you very much, but... there are some things that I can't say as they will only change the relationship between us. Since that's the case, I'd rather stay like this..."
After enjoying the food prepared by Yvette, Chuck had gotten a full day of rest. He decided to resume his training.
He was talented in combat and was willing to put in a little extra effort to sharpen his skills. As a result, he was steadily improving daily.
Chuck's two ultimate goals were to become the world's billionaire and top combat expert.
The next day, he asked his mother to send 50 billion dollars to the Lawrence family. Sophia was very efficient, so he believed that he would soon obtain his profits.
As for Patricia Dawson, she had been studying in Karen's casino for a long time. Chuck's first business in the United States could start very soon.
Chuck had already asked her to search for a good spot. Besides, Betty, Chuck and Yvette had already paid the place a visit and gave Patricia a green light.
It was a somewhat deserted building, but all it needed was some renovation to start their business. Hence, this saved them a lot of time. Soon, Patricia started to work on the renovations and designing of the building, as well as some exterior decors to brighten up the place. Chuck was absolutely confident in her abilities.
At the same time, he also had high hopes in his very first business.
The start of his business empire had officially begun.
When the casino opened, Chuck would make sure everyone here would hear of his glamorous and luxurious casino!
He was very confident. He trained himself even harder...
Meanwhile, at the Lee family.
Elijah, the head of the Lee family, had a cold expression plastered on his face. In fact, he was even enraged.
Brayden, as well as the other core members of the Lee family, were equally furious!
"Dad, the Oatker family has gone too far. I can't believe they're attacking us now! They're definitely planning to take us down with them!" Brayden was absolutely infuriated.
Over the past few days, Karen had already begun to seriously deal with the Oatker family. It was undeniable that she was really quick at doing so.
Even the Oatker family didn't expect someone like Karen, who had never resisted any of their attacks before, to fight back so fiercely this time. It was terrifying.
In just two days, she had managed to topple much of the Oatker family.
The whole Lee family was shocked. None of them expected Karen to be so powerful!
While the Lee family was shocked, the Oatker family went ballistic. They tried to get the Lees to join them in their fight against Karen.
However, the Lee family had already been taken down by Karen. They didn't have the firearms, the manpower nor the mood to do so.
Everyone had similar thoughts, all except for Brayden.
In fact, Brayden had already met with some members of the Oatker family to reach a primary consensus on their cooperation. However, some problems that arose midway took him by surprise and had him completely incapacitated in the Lee family mansion.
Bang!
Elijah slapped Brayden.
Brayden was astonished. He cupped his cheek in disbelief and bellowed, "Dad, why did you slap me?"
The other Lee family members were all equally dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Stop pretending! Other people don't know what you've secretly done, but I won't be fooled! Confess, now!" Elijah was anguished by his son's foolish decision.
Everyone could only stare at them blankly, unable to comprehend what was going on. Brayden tried to explain himself, "Dad, what are you talking about? What did I secretly do? Don't misunderstand..."
Smack!
Another heavy slap landed on his face again!
Soon, Brayden's face was red and swollen.
"B*stard, are you still trying to make up excuses?" Elijah was furious.
