Chapter 398


    Karen had nothing to be afraid of. Duncan was the one who had made the first move and attacked


    Chuck. Now that Duncan had died by her hand, she knew they would threaten to disown her.


    However, she would face it head-on.


    Karen had been in a simr situation before. When she had married Chuck''s father, almost


    everyone in the family opposed it. He had no power, no family background, and no money.


    Almost everyone in the family thought that he was not worthy of Karen. Karen had ignored them all


    and married him in the face of adversity.


    In the end, Karen ended up making her own choices happily.


    There had been no friction between Chuck''s father and herself over the many years they had been


    married as well. Karen thought she had made the right choice.

    Karen was d that she had not given up on Chuck''s father and stood her ground.


    She did not look disturbed in the slightest so Wi felt at ease. She knew that Karen had gone


    through a lot before. The incident on this day had been serious and it was likely that Karen would be


    driven out of the Lee family. However, Wi believed that Karen would get through this.


    A little bit of worry still nagged at Wi though. After all, the Lee family had always favored boys


    over girls so Karen had not been held in high regard since her birth. She was even looked down


    upon by many members of the family and was excluded by them.


    Ever since Karen was a child, she had been talented. She was independent and her ability was


    particrly outstanding. She was better than most people in her family.


    At that time, Karen''s brothers spent hundreds of thousands of dors on college per person.


    However, she inparison had only been spared a few hundred dors.


    But she did notin. In fact, she was grateful for that. She had worked hard to obtain the


    wealth she had today. Her brothers could notpare to her hard-earned achievements.


    Karen had grown up in a self-dependent environment.


    Now that Karen had killed Duncan who was the sessor of the family, she knew that her family


    would take their revenge.


    Wi really wanted to return to the United States with Karen.


    "Auntie Karen, are you going to tell Chucky now?" Wi asked, worried.


    "That won''t be necessary," Karen said. She would certainly not tell Chuck how dire the matter had


    be. It didn''t matter if the killer blow had been dealt with by her or not. Duncan had to die either


    way.


    "Alright," Wi sighed.


    "I''ll have to return first. I''ll leave the farewells to you," Karen said and promptly got on the helicopter.


    She then went to the airport. There was a private jet waiting for her there which proceeded to fly her


    back to the United States.


    Watching Karen leave, Wi felt worried. Soon, she turned her head and sought Chuck out.


    Chuck knew that Karen would have to leave soon but he hadn''t expected her to leave in such a


    hurry.


    "Auntie Logan," Chuck called. He could feel that Karen was in trouble. Brayden would have


    definitely started his act of vengeance by now because of Duncan''s death.


    "Chucky, get back in and rest up," Wi said as her heart ached. After all, Chuck was badly injured


    right now. He needed to recover.


    "Auntie Logan, you are so nice to me," Chuck replied. He didn''t know how to properly express how


    moved he was by Wi''s arrival. "If I give her a hug right now, would she refuse?" he thought.


    Chuck did not dare to do so. He was starting to gain more and more respect for her.


    "Don''t mention it. Go rest now," Wi ushered. She really wanted to check on Chuck''s injuries at


    that instant but how could she do that when Yvette was here?


    "Alright," Chuck replied as he turned away and walked down the stairs with Wi. Hotel Luna had


    dealt some damages, it was a mess up there. Chuck had to call for repairs to start immediately


    tomorrow. He couldn''t risk closing down the entire hotel.


    As Chuck entered his room, he found that Yvette had already fallen asleep on the bed from fatigue.


    She was seriously injured. Chuck felt distressed as he slowly walked up to her. He gentlyy beside


    her and kissed her on the cheek.


    Chuck shut his eyes and started to doze off with Yvette in his arms. She felt a little cold. She curled


    herself up and pushed her body closer, settling into Chuck''s arms eventually.


    Chuck felt at ease and didn''t bother doing anything else. He was exhausted as well. And so, he fell


    asleep like that.


    ......


    When Karennded in the United States, she calmly walked down the tform out of the ne.


    Dozens of ck Mercedes-Benzs were parked in the private airport, waiting for her. All of the Lee


    family''s members were present. Karen was silent as she moved quickly.


    Just as Karen stepped ontond, an elderly man in a suit got out of his car to greet her. He was


    Elias Xinos, the butler of the Lee family.


    There were also othersing out of their cars. They were all dressed in simrly formal clothes.


    "Elder Xinos," she greeted the man standing before her.


    "Miss, if you don''t have anything lined up today, it''d be best if youe home with me now," Elias


    huffed. The whole family was rendered into chaosst night. Duncan was the first sessor of the


    family. His death was so unexpected, and it was by the hand of his own aunt as well!


    The Lee family was fuming!


    "Okay," Karen answered impassively. When she had decided to return here, she had already known


    what she would being back to. She did not regret her decision a single bit.


    "Ma''am, this way please," Elias reached out and opened the car door for Karen to get in. Once


    everyone had settled into their seats, they all headed towards the family house.


    In the car, Elias sighed when he was met with Karen''s impassive nature. He had been in the Lee


    family for decades so he knew her very well. No matter how poorly she was treated by her family,


    Karen was always very kind to them. Karen had never minded the unfair treatment at all.


    It was the Lee family''s blessing to have such a daughter. However, he knew that the other members


    of the family did not think so.


    Elias couldn''t help but sigh when he thought about it. Once they reached home, Karen would


    definitely suffer the consequences.


    Karen smiled eventually and inquired, "Elder Xinos, how is your granddaughter? Is she still sick?"


    His granddaughter wasn''t doing very well at the moment. Karen had done so much for him to help


    with the situation so Elias was immensely grateful to her. He felt it was unfair that a kind person like


    Karen was being oppressed by everyone in the Lee family.


    "Miss, how about your son?" Elias asked with concern instead.


    "He''s fine. As for your granddaughter''s disease... Well, the pharmaceuticalpany has developed


    a special medicine for treatment. It''s in thete stages of clinical trials right now so don''t worry,"


    Karen reassured him.


    "Thank you," Elias let out a relieved sigh.


    ......


    Everyone in the Lee family gathered together.


    In the humongous vi, each and every rtive of the Lee family was present. There were more


    than 30 people, including Karen''s four brothers. There were more than a dozen children, and of


    course, her father, the current head of the family was there as well.


    Everyone was ring at her. They were fuming with rage. Duncan was the most capable among the


    descendants of the Lee family. They couldn''t believe that he had just died like that.


    Even more preposterous was that he was killed by someone in the family.


    Karen''s brothers'' hearts all ached at the loss.


    "I cannot believe this, Karen went too far this time! How could she kill Duncan?!" Karen''s second


    brother muttered angrily.


    "That''s right! We''re not allowed to cause conflict within the family! It''s uneptable that she had


    killed one of our own! Even the elders were forbidden tomit such crimes because they thought


    it cold and ruthless! How is it that we have such a disgrace as a descendant!"


    "We''ll have to punish her severely this time!"


    "I agree. She was too cruel. Did she kill him to let her son take Duncan''s ce?"


    "I don''t doubt that for a second!" Everyone in the Lee family was angry at her.


    "Dad, Karen killed my son to deliberately cause conflict between us. She doesn''t care about


    keeping peace at all! Are we just going to bear with her insolence?!" Brayden said to his father. His


    eyes were brimmed red with hatred.


    Another sibling said, "She should be disowned! Our family doesn''t need such ruthless descendants!


    If she remains in the family, I dread to think what would happen. My son is also capable to take over


    the inheritance, will she have him killed as well?"


    The Lee family was in utter chaos. She hadmitted an unforgivable crime. If she was not


    punished adequately, the family would spin into further chaos.


    The family would eventually be a right mess.


    Brayden kept his cold facade up. He had told the family about what had happened justst night.


    They were all outraged.


    "Be quiet. Elder Xinos is waiting for her at the airport. Don''t worry, I will deal with it," the head of the


    Lee family spoke. Everyone in the room quieted down at that. They wanted to see Karen disowned,


    once and for all.


    "Master, Miss has returned," Elias ran in as he announced. A tense atmosphere started to fill the


    room. There were anger and hatred mixed in the air. Elias could do nothing but bemoan silently at


    Karen''s poor luck. She was going to be punished. Was someone as kind as her really going to be


    disowned from the family?


    "Karen would be devastated," Elias thought helplessly.
