Chapter 598


    "What?" Elise raised an eyebrow.


    How ridiculous!


    "You, Chuck Cannon, saved me? How was it even possible? It''s because that man saved me that I


    managed to run away. Don''t forget that you could only have escaped because of that!" She


    sneered.


    How shameless.


    How dare he try to take credit for something he didn''t do?!


    Sophia was stunned.


    Even Yvette, Wi and Betty were all taken aback.


    Silence fell upon the room.


    "Is that so?" Chuck was indifferent.


    "Of course. The mysterious man saved me. It couldn''t be you!" Elise looked at him in disgust.


    Was he trying to make her feel indebted towards him?


    How disgusting.


    "Then why hasn''t your ''mystery man'' showed up?" Chuck asked.


    "He''s not like you. He doesn''t try to take credit for his good deeds," Elise replied with a smile.


    Chuck tilted his head to the side and retorted, "So you''re saying that you were the one who saved


    me instead?" "Yes, if it wasn''t for my escape that caused chaos among them, did you think you


    could''ve escaped?" Elise still refused to believe him.


    "Also, you''re also saying that it''s impossible for me to know what had happened to you during that


    period of time?" Chuck continued.


    "Yes. How could you possibly know?" Elise snorted.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    How was it even possible?


    It was impossible for him to have known.


    "Let''s see how you get out of this one," Elise thought to herself.


    "Well then, you got it wrong. It''s not that I didn''t want to show my face back then, but it was because


    I was caught between a rock and a hard ce. You were crying in there, shouting for them to not


    touch you. I had already made it out myself, but when I heard your pleas, I felt that I should save


    you. So I used a rock to knock the three of them out, and one of them probably died because of


    that. Am I wrong?" Chuck stated calmly.


    "You..."


    Elise felt like everything she believed in had been shattered. How could it be possible!


    Chuck was right about everything from start to end.


    How could he have possibly known about the details?


    No one else was there to witness the whole process.


    Could it be that he really was the one who saved her?


    How could it be?


    Her state of mind suddenly fell into a state of chaos. Elise did not believe that Chuck would be the


    one to save her. How could someone like him have possibly...


    She couldn''t believe it. She refused to ept it.


    However, Chuck was right about everything. Was he telling the truth?


    She was nning to repay him and even took a liking to him...


    Elise felt as if her whole world had copsed. What she had believed in waspletely different


    from reality.


    She couldn''t ept it!


    Why did it have to be Chuck? If it were someone else, they could''ve fallen in love, and then they


    could get married...


    She felt a burning sensation on her cheeks.


    "I regret saving you," Chuck said.


    He should''ve left by himself back then. Why did he bother to save her?


    Why did he have to give in to the slight sense of empathy?


    Sophia was also surprised. She looked at Chuck, unable to fathom that he was the one who had


    saved her daughter, Elise.


    How could it have been Chuck?


    Under those circumstances, he was still willing to Sophia gave in as she realized that fact.


    When Karen had revealed that Elise was the one who had captured and tortured Chuck, Sophia


    was already wavering but she tried to keep her cool.


    However, Elise was indeed in the wrong about this.


    Sophia looked down at Karen''s arms around her neck. She thought about how Karen had knocked


    out Sonia and felt that maybe what Elise did was right.


    However, now that Chuck was revealed as the one who had saved Elise, she no longer knew what


    to think.


    She had lost every shred of determination left in her.


    "Elise, is it true? Was Chuck really the one who saved you?" Sophia asked carefully.


    A tear slipped down Elise''s cheek as she muttered, "Yes..."


    "What?!"


    Sophia finally admitted that her own daughter had made a terrible mistake.


    She looked at Chuck in a new light. All of a sudden, she felt less irritated at the sight of him.


    She was a woman of her word. Chuck had saved her daughter''s life, so she would thank him for


    that.


    Without Chuck, Elise would have died.


    It was clear that she had to reward him for his act.


    "But why did you save me?" Elise still held on to that glimmer of hope that everything was a lie.


    "I didn''t want you to die in the hands of those people since I should be the one who punishes you


    instead!" Chuck dered.


    Elise felt her heart tighten. She gasped, "You should''ve told me the truth earlier, so I wouldn''t have


    liked..."


    She stopped in the middle of the sentence.


    "Fine. I''ll let you do whatever you want with me," Elise finally gave in and apologized, "I''m sorry, I


    was wrong. You saved me, and I will repay you for that."


    p!


    Chuck immediately pped her in the face.


    Elise didn''t make a sound as she fell onto the ground. She got up wordlessly, but Chuck kicked her


    right in the guts as she got up.


    Elise held her stomach and fell onto the floor again, blood spurting from her mouth.


    "Stop! Please, stop hurting my daughter!" Sophia''s heart ached at the sight of her daughter.


    However, she wasn''t bold enough to throw a tantrum at them and instead tried pleading with them


    loudly.


    "Mom, stop. I''m the one who''s in the wrong," Elise got up and walked over to Chuck.


    Yvette heaved a sigh of relief. If it were up to her, she would''ve ended Elise right then and there.


    Elise was the reason why Chuck''s life had been in danger. Even now, Chuck still suffered from the


    injury on his head. She had to get her revenge on Elise.


    "Karen Lee, I''ll give you whatever you want! Please ask your son to stop hitting my daughter,"


    Sophia could no longer just stand by idly. If this went on, Elise would be injured heavily!


    "Do you think it''s over just like this? Chuck almost died. How can I just let this go?" Karen asked


    expressionlessly.


    Sophia was speechless.


    Karen was right. If someone else were to do this to Elise, Sophia would''ve ended their bloodline.


    She sighed, "So what do you want? Just tell me!"


    "Chuck will decide for himself," Karen said.


    Sophia looked over at him.


    Chuck had continuouslynded a few hits on Elise. She could barely move and was about to faint.


    Sophia couldn''t stand it anymore and begged. "Hey, stop it. Elise was wrong, so tell me what you


    want now. I''ll give you anything you want! Please, just stop!"


    Elise was everything to her.


    She was willing to do anything for Elise, as long as she was not tortured anymore.


    "What can you give me?" Chuck looked over at her, his expression indifferent.


    "Anything you want! Apart from my family, I will give you anything you want! I give you my word, as


    long as you agree to stop hitting my daughter. Please let her go, she''s already admitted to her


    faults!" Sophia sighed heavily. She had given in.


    Chuck had saved Elise''s life, but Elise had still treated him cruelly.


    How could she?


    Chuck pped Elise on the face and she once again fell to the ground. Her words were choked with


    sobs as she repeatedly asked, "Why did it have to be you? Why..."


    Thud!


    Before she could finish her words, she passed out.


    Her face was swollen, and blood pooled out of her mouth.


    "Fine. I agree with your proposal!" Chuck looked at Sophia.


    "Good. I swear that I''ll fulfill my promise to you," Sophia said with a grim expression.


    Karen nodded. She felt that this was not nearly enough punishment for Elise. Even though she had


    already fainted from taking in so many punches and kicks, Chuck had nearly died because of her.


    "Then remember what you said. I will contact you!" Chuck announced.


    "Sure, don''t worry. I''ll remember it," Sophia nodded.


    "Mom, let''s go!" Chuck said as he turned around to leave.


    "Alright."


    Karen let go of Sophia, and they all left.


    Therge hall fell into silence.


    Sophia ran over to Elise hurriedly and shouted at her subordinates, "Go get a doctor!"


    Several men scurried to obey her orders.


    "Where''s Chuck?" Elise soon woke up in a daze.


    "He''s gone. I''ve agreed to fulfil one of his requests," Sophia looked at her daughter, her emotions


    sinking. She would make sure to keep her word.


    What would Chuck ask for?


    However, she did say that he could not demand the name of the Lawrence family, so she felt slightly


    relieved.


    "Mom..." Elise suddenly panicked.


    "What''s wrong, Elise?" Sophia asked in surprise.


    Elise whispered in her mother''s ears, "Mom, why did you agree? Did you know that when he and I


    were in the Amazon, he told me that he wanted to vite you..."
