"Chuck," Adriana greeted without smiling.
Deep inside, she wanted to beam at him because she hadn't seen Chuck for a while.
After all, it was the first time Chuck had come looking for her.
However, Karen was dead. How could she smile at this time?
Chuck stalked over in silence.
He hadn't brought anyone with him. Although Betty had insisted on following him, and so had Yvette and Willa, Chuck didn't let them. Instead, he drove over by himself.
The three hidden families... It was those three families that had the ability to assassinate Karen.
Chuck would definitely find the murderer.
Chuck studied Eleanor through his furrowed eyebrows. The corners of her lips were slightly lifted. Was she Adriana's new bodyguard?
Meanwhile, Eleanor knew that Chuck was looking at her.
Due to her strong mental resilience, Eleanor's faint grin remained, unwavering.
She suddenly found it interesting.
The descendant of the person she killed had appeared in front of her. Yet, he still did not know that she was Karen's murderer. The whole situation was particularly interesting to her.
Chuck didn't look at her any longer. Was Eleanor so boring that he didn't feel anything at all?
"I have your mother's blood on me!" thought Eleanor.
"I know that your mother has passed away. I'm sorry that I didn't go," Adriana sighed, feigning sadness.
Chuck stared at Adriana for a while before he spoke. "I know my mother's strength. Her death was not an accident!"
Eleanor grinned ever so slightly. Ah, so he had discovered.
"Yes, I think so too!" Adriana agreed.
"Then, were you the one who did this?" Chuck questioned.
Adriana was stunned by his accusation. "Chuck, what are you talking about? Why would I kill your mother? Did you come here to ask me this question?"
"Yes!" "Of course not! What reason would I have to do that?" Adriana sighed desolately.
Chuck too thought that the possibility of Adriana being the murderer was very low.
What would her motive be for doing that?
"Really?"
"You don't believe me? Why would I kill her? I admire her very much, you know?"
"I will find the murderer and make them regret everything they have done!" Chuck declared coldly.
"Yes!"
Chuck's eyes glowered as he stared at Eleanor. "Who are you?"
"My name is Eleanor Lacourt!" Eleanor giggled faintly.
"I find your smile very annoying! I don't know why!" Chuck spat bluntly.
Eleanor was behaving too indifferently. The aura she exuded was that or a top combat expert.
"Okay." Eleanor shrugged nonchalantly.
"Have you seen my mom before?"
"Of course I have. Even if I said I hadn't, you wouldn't believe me." Eleanor kept the smile on her face. Her mental facade was simply too strong.
Chuck's brows were tightly knitted together.
Nevertheless, he could not detect any change in Eleanor's expression.
After a moment of silence, Chuck turned around and left.
The possibility of it being Adriana was still very low.
However, Chuck kept Eleanor in mind.
"Chuck, I've already asked someone to prepare something for you. Have some food before you leave!" It was Adriana's first invitation.
"There's no need!"
Chuck had already left.
Smash!
Adriana grabbed something and smashed it. She didn't sit down until all the objects were smashed and the ground was covered with glass shards.
Her beautiful eyes were terrifyingly icy.
"Miss Whitlock, Chuck doesn't know what's good for him!" Eleanor commented emotionlessly.
"It's not just that he doesn't know what's good for him! He's absolutely unaware! When have I ever been like this? Chuck, don't you dare test my patience. When the time comes, I'll kill all of the people around you, I'll kill them all! It'll be only you left!" Adriana bellowed in a horrifying threat.
Eleanor chuckled. "That would be interesting.
When his mother died, she had a lot of backbone. I wonder if he will be like his mother when the time comes..."
She really wanted to witness that event.
"In that case, Miss Whitlock, shall I take care of Chadrick?" Eleanor asked.
"Go ahead! Do it cleanly!"
"Don't worry. I won't let myself be discovered twice!" Eleanor giggled.
Then, she headed downstairs.
