Chapter 401


    Brayden was really angry with Karen. He didn''t expect for her departure to affect the Lee family this


    much.


    "What is she doing? Is she trying to make us regret kicking her out?" Brayden thought in frustration.


    That was impossible. It must just be her wistful thinking.


    "Karen, you have no right to mess with us like this!" he thought angrily.


    "Dad, I will kill Karen to avenge Duncan. You won''t object to it, right?" Brayden tried to sound him


    out.


    He knew that Elijah had hated Karen ever since she was a child.


    Elijah merely cast a furtive nce at him and said, "It''s up to you. But remember, don''t make a


    mess. Kill her son too while you''re at it!"

    This time, Karen hadn''t spared him any dignity. He was the head of the Lee family. How could he be


    disgraced by his own daughter like this?


    What was the point of having a daughter like Karen? She''d be better off dead.


    Elijah had always thought so. Karen had started to look more and more like her mother over the


    years. He had wanted to kill her long ago.


    "Yes, Dad. I know what to do," Brayden said, smirking evilly.


    This time, Brayden was going to take everything Karen had fought for. They will all be his own


    instead!


    However, he had a moment''s hesitation. "Dad, what do you think of Karen''s capabilities?" he asked.


    Elijah''s face darkened at that and he eventually answered, "It''s hard to say. ording to the world''s


    martial arts ranking, you''re definitely in the top thirty list. However, she had beaten you with just one


    punch. She should be within the top twenty to fifteen rank."


    Brayden guessed so. The world was full of people with hidden talents, and the Lee family was


    among those people. His younger brothers could easily be ranked within the top fifty on the list. This


    was impossible for other families.


    But Brayden was fuming with rage. He knew that Karen was only forty years old, so how could she


    surpass him?


    "She has always been very talented and hardworking ever since she was a child," Elijah added.


    "So what? She is a woman after all. When she reaches 50 or 60 years old, she will be vulnerable.


    After all, a man''s physique is so much better than a woman''s!" Brayden sneered. This was simple


    logic to him. Women were generally weaker than men. Once they pass a hurdle, their strength will


    deteriorate much sooner.


    "Have you seen her son?" Elijah then asked with interest.


    "No, but I heard from Duncan that he is useless! He is 19 years of age but can barely fight! Her


    good genes were definitely not passed down, that''s for sure. She gave birth to such a useless son!"


    Brayden replied and his voice was pinched with angry disdain. Duncan had excelled so much more


    than that garbage of a son, Chuck, but he had died in vain.


    "Dad, it was right of you to drive Karen out of the family. We can''t let her son tarnish the Lee family''s


    name!" Brayden continued.


    "Well, since you''ve said her son is good for nothing, I don''t want to hear about it anymore. You


    better deal with it. I know you well enough, Brayden. You''ll keep your word. As for her husband,


    deal with him as well. I hated him ever since I''veid eyes on him!" Elijah said, lounging on his chair


    while sipping tea leisurely.


    "Karen has such bad taste in men. How could she ever find a good man for herself? She''s too


    selfish. A man like her husband has ruined our family''s reputation for so many years..." Brayden


    uttered fiercely.


    "Alright, go settle it then. I don''t want to hear any more about her," Elijah said and closed his eyes.


    "Okay, Dad, I''ll be going now. However, people like Karen have the desire to kill. Do you think she''ll


    be mad enoughe attack you..." Brayden stopped mid-sentence.


    Elijah had opened his eyes as he heard Brayden''s words. He shot a cold re at him.


    "I got the news that the world''s top assassin is now ck Rose. She has only been in the field for


    about five or six years. The former top killer had been a woman named Night Sky. I have looked this


    woman up, and coincidentally, her looks resemble a little to Karen''s. Do you think Karen had done


    something as disgraceful as killing people behind our backs? I really don''t understand why she


    would exchange a life as our family''s Miss for a life of a killer," Brayden mocked slightly, he even felt


    a little disappointed.


    "Is this news reliable?" Elijah questioned.


    "It''s pretty reliable. I heard that before Night Sky had retired, one had to pay her at least 50 million


    dors to hire her. As long as she was paid, she would do anything without a conscience! That


    included murdering kids and elderlies! I''m worried about you, Dad. What if shees looking to


    assassinate you?" Brayden asked a little anxiously, but he was sneering in his heart.


    This was old news, but there was no evidence of it being true at all. Night Sky had been a skilled


    killer for the past 10 years. Within these ten years and the amount of money she charged, she could


    have easily earned billions of dors in that time.


    But fortunately, no one had found out about this potential corrtion. If they had, Karen would have


    brought shame to the Lee family, one of the Four Greatest Households in the world!


    This time, he had been defeated by Karen because she was lucky. He was now certain that the old


    news might be true. Karen''s past was disgraceful.


    "Assassinate me?" Elijah echoed. He then snorted, "She wouldn''t dare!"


    Elijah leaned back into his seat and asked, "I taught her all the moves she knows, and I know all her


    weaknesses. How could she be able to wipe me out?"


    "Yes, Dad, you''re right. Please be careful, though. After all, she killed Duncan just so her son could


    be the remaining heir. If she could bear to do such a thing, what else would she be incapable of?"


    Brayden faked his concern. Under the surface, he was thinking, "Karen, hurry up and kill this old


    man. He has been alive for too long, it''s time to let someone else be the head of the Lee family."


    "Well, I will watch out for her. If she really doese at me, I wouldn''t mind killing her myself!"


    Elijah said and then closed his eyes.


    Brayden walked out of the room after that.


    ......


    Wi called Karen on her phone eventually. When she picked up, Karen told her about how she had


    been kicked out by the Lee family and Wi felt sorry for her. The Lee family was one of the Four


    Greatest Households in the world. Over these two decades, it was Karen who had helped the family


    get to where they were now. Otherwise, the Lee family would have been abandoned and forgotten


    long ago.


    However, one day, the Lee family would regret disowning Karen.


    The two of them talked on the phone for a long time, and Wi could discern that Karen was feeling


    gloomy. Fortunately, she knew that Karen could get through this by herself.


    Karen had to deal with matters in the United States and monitor Brayden''s every move. She didn''t


    go back to the country, for the time being, so she asked Wi to continue protecting Chuck in secret.


    She had advised Wi to build up her strength and train Chuck at the same time.


    Wi had agreed to it. She had been nning to stay here anyway.


    All of her own businesses were under control. There was no problem. She could teach Chuck with


    her extra time.


    "Wi, what do you think of Chucky?" Karen asked with concern. Her initial idea was to let Wi and


    Chuck get together, but it didn''t work.


    However, Karen had been surprised. She saw that Wi seemed to show some affection for Chuck


    from before. Did Wi finally catch feelings for him? Karen knew that Wi had never let a man get


    close to her.


    "I... I only wish that Chucky will be safe and live a long happy life. Nothing else matters," Wi said.


    Yes, that was what she wanted.


    She had been thinking about how she felt about Chuck throughout this dilemma.


    Wi had thought of Chuck as a child at first. However, after having gotten to know him better in


    recent years, Wi felt that there was a spark between them. She was never bored whenever she


    hung out with Chuck.


    She analyzed her feelings carefully. Yes, it was true. She seemed to have developed feelings for


    him.


    Wi was sure of it now.


    "I really want to go out and spend time with him. Whenever he doesn''t call me, I get disappointed.


    Doesn''t this mean I have feelings for him?" she thought to herself.


    Indeed, she did like Chuck. Wi, who was thirty years old had fallen in love.


    Nheless, she was always extremely confident in everything she did. In this case, she felt sad


    and ipetent. She was a thirty-year-old woman. Was it appropriate for her to be with Chuck who


    was eleven years younger than her?


    The more she thought about it, the more upset she got.


    There was no way around this age gap.


    It might be possible for them in the next life. However, would they be able to reacquaint with each


    other then?


    "You like Chucky, don''t you?" Karen asked Wi just then so that she could make future ns.


    "Yes, I do," Wi replied, biting her lip.
