Chapter 599
"What did you just say?"
Sophia''s mouth fell open. She waspletely stunned at Elise''s words.
What?
Chuck said that he wanted her?!
She couldn''t believe it!
In fact, she had thought that Chuck would ask her for money. That would be easy. As long as it
wasn''t the name of the Lawrence family, she could give him everything he wanted.
She had mentally braced herself, but what the hell was this?
Was Elise being serious?
"Like I said, Mom. He told me that he would do that to you, right in front of my eyes..." Elise said
weakly.
Sophia''s words were absolute. If she had agreed to give Chuck whatever he wanted, then she
would fulfill her promise.
However, if Chuck really asked for this, would Sophia still agree to his request?
Elise didn''t dare to think about it anymore.
"Elise, are you being serious?" Sophia was stunned.
Elise was just joking around, right?
Would Chuck really make such a request? How could he?
Sophia had been furious when she heard what Elise said.
That request was too much.
However, she mentioned herself that she would definitely agree to whatever he requested. What
should she do?

Sophia panicked all of a sudden.
"Yes, Mom. Why did you promise him that?" A tear fell down Elise''s cheeks.
When she had passed out, she wouldn''t have imagined things to go so wrong. She would rather be
beaten to death by Chuck.
She never wanted to see such a thing happen.
Now that she realized Chuck was the one who had saved her, her thoughts had fallen into chaos.
Initially, she had even decided to repay him with her body!
But... What was this turn of events?
Thud!
Sophia fell onto the ground in a daze.
She was still very beautiful and charming. She had given birth to Elise at the young age of 16. Now,
she was only 34 years old.
She had worked out to maintain a good physique. She had also taken care of herself and looked
much younger than her age. People even mistook her for Elise''s sister...
The expression on Sophia''s face was indescribable. She felt deeply conflicted.
What if Chuck really requested for that?
She herself had said that she would definitely keep her word, and she was always a woman of her
word. What should she do now?
Sophia fell into despair.
The news of ten Lawrence family bases being destroyed overnight spread all over the
country. Everyone was talking about it.
Arguably, the Lawrence Family was one of the Four Greatest Flouseholds. In the face of such
humiliation, they would''ve definitely taken revenge immediately!
Flowever, a day had passed and nothing had happened. Shouldn''t the entire city be turned over by
now?
Wasn''t any action taken to protect the prestige of the Four Greatest Flouseholds?
Flowever, nothing had happened.
The Lawrence family had remained quiet.
They had not even given a response.
What was happening?
It was as if someone had publicly given the Lawrence family a p in the face, and they just took it
without retaliation.
What on earth was going on here?
What happened?
Everyone was confused. This entire situation was definitely abnormal since the Lawrence family
was just too silent.
Who was this person who managed to destroy ten bases from the Lawrence Family?
Everyone was talking about it.
Everyone was curious. Who could be the one behind it all?
"Miss Adriana, Karen Lee is the one behind the whole fiasco with the Lawrence family. It was all to
take revenge for Chuck."
Back at the secret Whitlock family mansion, someone reported something to Adriana.
Adriana turned a page on the book that she was readingzily.
"Oh, really?" She asked indifferently.
"Yes," Nothing could ever be concealed from the secret families.
It could be said that there was nothing in the world that the secret families didn''t know about.
"Interesting. This woman really surprised me!" Adriana put down the book in her hand.
Of course, the Whitlock family could easily destroy ten bases from the Lawrence family.
It was an easy feat for them.
However, this only applied to the secret families. It was a whole different story for Karen. It seemed
that Adriana had really underestimated Karen''s ability. "By the way, I asked you to investigate Karen
Lee. How is it going?" Adriana inquired.
"Well..." Nelson trailed off.
"What''s wrong? Out with it," Adriana demanded.
"Well, I did find out something. Karen hid some of her secrets really well, so it took me some time to
find out about it," Nelson replied.
Through vague clues, he had managed to put together that Karen was the one behind several
companies.
He was also very surprised when he found out about it!
The hidden families should''ve known everything in this world.
However, Karen had managed to hide something from them.
"Oh? What is it?" Adriana nced over at him.
"She has a pharmaceuticalpany, aworkpany, and..." Nelson started listing everything
down.
"How fascinating. Karen Lee imitating the secret families?" Adriana raised an eyebrow.
"How dare she imitate us?" Nelson snorted. So what if she had severalpanies?
Compared to the hidden families, she had nothing.
"She''s pretty smart. She only shows us what she wants us to see, and hides what she doesn''t. How
interesting," Adriana smirked.
"Miss Adriana, are you serious?" Nelson was shocked. How could she have aplished this
without the secret families knowing about it?
How did she do it? After all, the whole world had been divided up by the hidden families!
However, Karen actually managed to pull it off.
"Probably. Try your best to find out what else Karen is hiding," Adriana''s eyes shed.
She was a little annoyed. How dare Karen Lee do this?
"Yes, I will," Nelson nodded. Of course, he could see that Adriana had gotten angry.
This was not a good sign!
Just as Nelson was about to leave, Adriana suddenly thought of something and calmed down. She
asked, "By the way, what about the other thing that I asked you about?"
"You mean Chuck''s father, Chadrick Cannon? He..." Nelson stopped.
"What''s wrong?" Adriana asked.
"He''s a little mysterious."
"Oh, of course he is. If he could suit Karen''s tastes, how could he not be mysterious?" Adriana said.
Adriana admitted that when it came to intelligence, Karen was definitely on her level. How could
people like them get together with someone boring?
That would be too weird.
"How mysterious is he?" Adriana questioned.
"I can''t find out where he is or anything about his family. There''s nothing on him," Nelson replied. He
was also surprised.
Something that the secret families didn''t know about was rarely found!
"Oh, that''s normal. No matter what, find out everything about Chadrick! He''s probably someone like
Karen," Adriana picked up her book again.
"Yes! Do we need to monitor his movements?" Nelson felt that Adriana''s interest in Chuck had
grown. Had she really taken a liking to him?
"Why not?" Adriana asked.
"Miss, may I ask you something?" Nelson asked carefully.
"Ask away."
"Are you really going to marry Chuck Cannon?" Nelson thought that Chuck was not worthy of
marrying Adriana.
"Yes, he''s the only man I''m interested in right now," Adriana''s expression grew serious.
"Then... What if Karen doesn''t agree to it?" Nelson continued.
"She doesn''t agree? I always get what I want! If she doesn''t agree, I''ll force her to agree to what I
want. If she still refuses to, I''ll make her disappear!" There was a cold glimmer in her eyes.
