Chapter 281


    Karen looked at Yvette and sighed softly, "I don''t me you because you''re being used by your


    family. I have been holding in my breath the moment you entered the room just now. I can hold my


    breath for half an hour, besting the world''s record by seven minutes. And, for your information, that


    was my record three years ago."


    Stupefied, Yvette blinked with surprise.


    "As for you, a person who has never undergone proper training, the most you canst would be


    three minutes given your current physical state. It has been less than ten minutes since you had


    entered this room, and I can still hold it for another twenty minutes. Now, you have less than two


    minutes to leave. If you stay here, you will die soon," Karen told her in a tranquil voice, sounding


    almost lifeless.


    "Who on earth are you? You''ve already known what I was going to do, haven''t you?" Yvette''s eyes


    shot withsers and fires.


    "Yes, we share a very simr experience. I know what you''re thinking," Karen said as she walked


    over to the window and stretched out her hand, trying to open it.


    "Don''t move!" Yvette shouted, her eyes glistened with coldness.


    Karen shook her head, saying, "You wouldn''t be able to hold your breath any longer if I don''t open it


    now. The gas spreads a lot faster in the air than you''d think."


    Every untrained man who attempted to murder Karen in the past had always opted to use drugs


    and poisons. Yvette did not have a chance to drug her food or drink. Hence, it was obvious that she


    would utilize the air.


    Yvette then yelled, "Let go of my husband! Do you hear me?"


    Karen responded, "I''ve never controlled him. I will tell you the truth: I''m your husband''s—"


    Suddenly, she was interjected by a knock on the door. As Karen walked towards the door, Yvette


    stopped her with her arm and repeated, "Let''s not make this bloody."


    Yvette knew that she was no match for this woman in front of her. However, she must give it a try to


    save Chuck out of here since Karen was the one who had him under control.


    "You do not have the strength and skills to fight against me now, don''t you know that? Think about


    it, smart girl." Karen brushed past her and opened the door. It was Betty who was standing outside.


    "Don''t breathe," Karen reminded.


    Betty threw a nce at Yvette, frowned. "Hmm, Young..."


    Bam!


    All of a sudden, Yvette fell to the ground. Karen nced over her shoulder at Yvette and sighed.


    She then walked over to the window and opened it, allowing the poisonous gas to drift out of the


    room.


    Karen crouched down, examining the wounds on Yvette. "She must have been tortured for more


    than ten days, judging on her injuries. No wonder her eyes looked so fierce. Gone is the


    empathetic,passionate teacher. For her to undergo such huge changes within this short period,


    she must have been through many moments of despair. Poor girl..."


    Karen took out a dagger and made an incision on Yvette''s wrist. The poison in Yvette''s system


    gushed out right away as ckish blood.


    "President Lee, are you going to take care of her?" Betty asked as she entered the room.


    Karen replied, "If nothing happens to Chucky, I will take care of her. After all, she has been a great


    help to Chucky for so many years. This is what I owe her. However, as Chucky is now in danger, I


    don''t have time to tend to her. Besides, she won''t allow me to stay with her either."


    After ensuring all the poison left Yvette''s system, Karen pressed on the wound to stop the bleeding.


    Yvette''s brows furrowed, her eyes remained shut. She was still in a deepa.


    Yvette was exhausted.


    She had been sleepless for days.


    "How''s the investigation going?" Karen picked Yvette up and put her onto the sofa.


    "I went to the scene and questioned Vivian. Not many clues were found though. I have sent all our


    men to search for Young Master," reported Betty. Vivian had told Betty about Chuck''s unusual


    behavior and the unknown man who trespassed on thepound.


    The deduction that she could make at this moment was that Chuck''s kidnap was most likely


    nned. In other words, there were definitely some traces left in the woods. It was unlikely that


    Chuck was taken by a vehicle as it could be easily captured by the spycams. Hence, Chuck was


    probably still in the woods around the training ground but was hidden deep inside.


    A lot of manpower was required to search the area thoroughly.


    "Well, Chucky should be fine. But, tortures would be unavoidable." Karen''s eyes were cold as she


    spoke, "Prepare the SUV. We''re going into the woods."


    "It has already been prepared," said Betty. She had already expected this from the moment Karen


    changed into her camouge uniform.


    Worried, Betty asked, "What about Yvette? Should we let her go?"


    "What can we do with her if we keep her? Kill her? If Chucky finds out about it, I''ll be in serious


    trouble. Besides, I can''t do that. In fact... she shares so many simrities with Wi. Since Wi is


    not interested in dating Chucky yet, Yvette still makes the best candidate. Unfortunately, her family


    makes it impossible for her to stay with Chucky," Karen sighed.


    She could not do anything about it. In fact, Karen had considered letting Chuck and Yvette stay


    together. However, the current situation did not permit Karen to do so. She was worried that Yvette


    would kill Chuck one day in the future.


    "Let''s go. When she wakes upter, she will leave on her own." Karen left the room while Betty


    followed behind her. She then added, "She''ll be fine. Her family knows that I won''t harm her since


    they have Chucky in their hands. I will never put Chucky''s life on the line. Never!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Ring! They heard the phone ringing.


    Karen took out her cell phone and saw Wi''s name on the screen. Her heart missed a beat. Did


    Wi call her to look for Chuck? It was unlikely that Wi made this phone call to talk to her, not at


    this moment.


    She picked up the phone.


    "Sister Karen, are you busy?" Wi''s gentle voice came from the speaker.


    "Yeah, I am," answered Karen and she strode out of the room.


    Wi then asked, "Well, then... how is Chucky? It has been a few days. Is the training too hard for


    him? Probably not, right? He has inherited your good genes when ites to stamina."


    Wi was just bored. She wanted to talk to Chuck but he certainly would not have his cell phone


    with him. Hence, she decided to call Karen.


    When Karen remained quiet, Wi questioned, "Sister Karen, are you there? Is there anything


    wrong?"


    "Yes, something has happened to Chucky," Karen replied solemnly.


    "Alright, I''ll be right there!"


    Wi said and quickly hung up the phone. Karen would have been ted under other


    circumstances. After all, Wi''s concern for Chucky was undeniable. However, now that Chuck''s life


    was at risk, Karen was not in the mood to be cheered by this.


    Karen and Betty got in the car. Karen''s driving skills were splendid. The car galloped on the rough


    terrain, climbing every bump in the woods as if it was on an even trail. Soon, they arrived at the spot


    where Chuck was kidnapped. Karen studied the area and began to deduce Chuck''s current


    location.


    "Get the ne ready! I am leaving this ce!"


    Wi came out of her office and ordered, and the secretary immediately ran over. "President Logan,


    you have a meeting with Director Cannon at two o''clockter. Then at four, you''ll need to sign the


    contract for the purchase of the Dinglyn Group. You also have another meeting with the Chamber of


    Commerce at night. You—"


    Wi interrupted at once, "Postpone them and get the ne ready!"


    Then, she exited the building in a 20 million dors sports car. With her excellent driving skills and


    the car''s exceptional specifications, she arrived at her private airport within ten minutes. She


    immediately boarded the private ne and headed towards the training school.


    When she was on the ne, she made another call to Karen using her satellite phone to inquire


    about the details. After knowing that Chuck was taken away during his training in the woods, she


    immediately studied the map around the area using her tablet.


    Wi spent three hours in the air and figured out a few potential hideouts of the kidnapper. Wi


    was of the same opinion as Karen— Chuck was definitely still in the woods.


    "Open the door!" Wi put on the paraglider. Below her was Chuck''s training ground. It was time for


    her to get off.


    "President Logan, it''s too dangerous! The terrain below is way tooplicated!" The pilot reminded


    her.


    Based on his extensive experiences, he could tell that it was too risky to enter this dense forest


    given its diversified terrain system.


    "Open the door!" Wi repeated regardless.


    The pilot had no choice but to follow her instructions.


    Wi was in her camouge uniform and had all the equipment she required before going into the


    woods. She leaped off the ne and slid towards her destination within seconds. She then opened


    her parachute andnded urately on the first suspected site.


    Wi unbuckled the parachute and jumped down from the tree. She nced around and started to


    search for Chuck. She knew very well that the kidnapper dared abduct Chuck here as he had


    utilized theplex terrain system in this dense jungle.


    Wi''s eyes sparkled with coldness, "No matter who you are, if anything happens to Chucky, I will


    definitely kill you!"
