Zelda was rendered speechless.
She really wanted to call Chuck to comfort him. However, she realized that Chuck must be incredibly sad at the moment.
"I didn't expect that Chuck would lose his mother at such a young age. Ah!" Zelda breathed out a sigh.
She, Yolanda, and Nancy did not continue talking.
Their minds were elsewhere; each of them busy with their own affairs.
The news was a drastic change for them.
There was only one thought in Yolanda's mind.
She thought that the business in the country would be greatly developed during Chuck's sorrowful return to the United States.
Nancy shared the same thoughts as Yolanda.
Therefore, they worked hard.
They waited for Chuck to return.
Absent-minded, Zelda was jarred when she suddenly received a call from Quinn.
Quinn couldn't contact Chuck anymore.
Hence, she could only look for Zelda to see if Chuck was with her.
"Hello, is Chuck with you?"
"He's not here, he's going back to the United States!" Zelda sighed and said.
"Back to the United States? Didn't he just come from the United States last month?"
"Something happened to his mother. He's going back," Zelda volunteered the information.
"What?"
That piece of information stunned Quinn.
She would have never imagined that she would hear that piece of news on that day.
"Chuck actually returned to the United States?"
Adriana's eyebrows rose in an arc at the news.
"He's already on his way. It would be weird if he didn't go back! After all, Karen is dead. As Karen's only son, shouldn't he go back?" Adriana's bodyguard said.
"True! Well, I'll give him a few days off! Take me to the other parts of the country!" Adriana missed Chuck.
However, before she got to meet Chuck, he was already on his way to the United States.
"Yes, Miss Adriana! However, I think you can go back home too. We have to make arrangements regarding the matter of inheriting the leadership of our family. Also, we have other matters to attend to as well!"
"All right! We can go home too!" Adriana shrugged.
She was alright with the decision as she had nothing to do.
"Young Master, President Lee fell into the river over there!" Betty and Chuck had already returned to the United States.
From the plane, Chuck looked down at the river.
The river was rushing at a terrifying speed.
When Chuck saw the river, his last sliver of hope was extinguished.
His mother was human. So, how could she survive in those relentless currents?
Tears welled up in Chuck's eyes. Suddenly, he spotted a familiar but lonely figure on the broken pier.
It was his father, Chadrick.
"Young Master, your father has been sitting alone for two days and two nights! He hasn't eaten or drank a bit!" Betty informed.
Chuck's nose turned red with sorrow.
"Young Master, don't worry. I've already sent people to search the whole river!"
Chuck could see that there were many people by the river.
Those were Karen's people.
All of them had come out to look for Karen's body.
However, the only thing they had found after two days and two nights was Karen's car.
