Chapter 608
Chuck did not answer her.
Sophia continued to ask, "I''m very satisfied that you didn''t want to do that. As for other requests,
you are free to ask for anything you want. I will definitely keep my word."
"Really? Will you really keep your word?" Chuck said calmly.
"Yes, please trust me. If what I said wasn''t true, Karen wouldn''t have just left my house like that
back then," Sophia was confident.
"Good. Also, I don''t want anyone else to know what happened today. Can you do that?" Chuck said.
"Of course," Sophia nodded. As long as Chuck did not ask for that, she would agree with anything.
"Okay, then I won''t waste any more time. I want you to work with me," Chuck''s smile disappeared
from his face. He looked serious.
"Work with you? How?" Sophia was surprised. Chuck''s expression told her that he had something
big up his sleeve!
"Well, do you know about the secret families?" Chuck went straight to the point.
"Yeah, of course I do," Sophia was shocked. What was going on?
"So you also know how strong they are?"
"Of course I do." "Then I''ll tell you what my goal is."
"I''m all ears," Sophia''s expression turned solemn.
"I want to be the richest man in the world," Chuck said calmly.
"What?!" Sophia was surprised.
The richest man in the world? Not just a figurehead?
Did this mean that he wanted to be richer than the secret families?
Sophia was extremely astonished.
The secret families had existed for more than a thousand years. Their generational wealth had been
inherited from one generation to the next, and it was continuously umting. In the past
thousand years, how much money had been umted by dozens of generations? It was
unimaginable. Even as the head of the Lawrence family, one of the Four Greatest Households in the
world, she couldn''t even imagine how much money it was!
"Do you think I won''t be able to do it?" Chuck raised an eyebrow at her.
"Uh ... How do I put it ... "
Sophia shook her head awkwardly and said, "No, it''s not that. With your mother''s support, it''s
definitely possible to be rich. However, if you''re aiming to be the richest in the entire
world, it''ll be slightly difficult. After all, the secret families have existed for thousands of years.
There''s a big gap between their umtion of wealth from many generations and our wealth."
The obvious problem was that the secret families have gathered their wealth throughout several
decades. Chuck couldn''t possiblypare to that.
The difference between them was too obvious, the gap between them difficult to close.
"I know there is a big gap between us. However, I will achieve my goal," Chuck said firmly.
Sophia was stunned. A whileter, she murmured, "Then ... What are you nning to do?"
"Do you know what the easiest way I can use to achieve my goals?" Chuck suddenly looked at her.
Sophia suddenly understood. She said thoughtfully, "The easiest way is ... to take away other
people''s wealth, such as the wealth belonging to the Four Greatest Households ... "
Chuck smiled. This method was indeed the most direct. However, he did not intend to do so. What
was the difference between that and stealing?
Chuck would never do that. He was just trying to cooperate.
"I''ve witnessed your mother''s strengthst time. With her help, it''s not difficult to take over the Four
Greatest Households. However, for me to cooperate with you? What about the Lawrence family?"
Sophia''s tone grew solemn.
"Yes, I need you to work with me. I want to be a shareholder of your family," Chuck requested.
"Shareholder? Are you trying to take over my family?" Sophia narrowed her eyes.
"No, you are so beautiful and charming. How could I do that to you?" Chuck shrugged. Sophia
frowned and said, "It''s not appropriate to joke around with me now."
After all, she was more than 30 years old.
Chuck smirked, "Well, you don''t trust me anyway. I can only joke around with you to grab your
attention."
"Be serious," Sophia shook her head.
"From now on, I want to invest in your new projects. Not the projects of the past, but of all new
projects from here onwards."
"Oh, but I won''t have any projects in the future, so you''ll really just be disappointed," Sophia shook
her head and sighed.
"Do you even believe what you''re saying?" Chuck shrugged.
After a few seconds of silence, he exined further, "In any case, the secret families may be rising
to the surface soon. Do you think it''s safer to work with me, or to face them blindly?"
"I have also thought about this problem, but how do you want to invest in my projects? They are all
scientific research projects, so the investments you want to make have to be huge! You also can''t
invest too much, 10% is my limit. From now on, I will include you in every project that our family is
involved in, and the annual profits will be sent to your ount."
"10%? You''re so stingy," Chuck was unhappy.
Investing in her projects would definitely be profitable. After all, she had contributed to the Lawrence
family''s wealth a lot, all by herself. Her projects would definitely bring in money.

If he mentioned it to Karen, she would definitely transfer the money over to him immediately.
"That''s right, Chuck. You should know that no external party has ever been involved in the
Lawrence family projects before. You''re the first one," She emphasized.
It was true.
"Haha" Chuck sat closer to her and chimed
I
flirtatiously, "You''re so pretty, so uniquely
bea utif u I... "
Sophia felt goosebumps rising all over her body. She wanted to curse at him andpromised,
"30%. This is my limit, so don''t push me any further."
"Fine," Chuck shrugged and drank the wine.
"Tomorrow, I will ask my mom to give you 50 billion dors. You can start your project immediately."
Chuck could just simply bring this up to Karen.
"Why do you trust me so much?" Sophia was surprised.
Chuck smiled and stood up, "You''re beautiful, so I don''t think you''ll lie to me."
"You really do make me feel strange," Sophia said. She felt that she had been pinned down by
Chuck and waspletely following his orders.
"Have you fallen for me?" Chuck asked with a faint smile.
"No, I just had a feeling that it''s possible for you to be the richest man in the world," Sophia took a
deep breath. Chuck trusted her so much. No ordinary person would have such courage to take such
arge risk.
He seemed to have seen through herself and knew that she wouldn''t act recklessly.
"Thank you. I won''t poke my nose into your projects, don''t worry," Chuck walked out. Suddenly, he
turned around and asked, "May I know your name?"
Sophia hesitated and said, "I''m Sophia. Sophia Lawrence."
"A beauty''s name always sounds nice. I suddenly regret my decision a while ago. If I make that
request again, will you agree? Hmm, Sophia?" Chuck asked.
Sophia frowned, "Don''t let my impression of you fall to the bottom again."
Chuck smiled and walked back towards her. Sophia took a step back and said, "Chuck, I will only
agree to fulfill one promise. I''ll do what you asked for just now, and only that."
Not a single sound could be heard in the room.
"Sophia, may I call you that?" Chuck ignored her and said.
She took a deep breath, agreeing, "Sure."
Sophia felt that she was living a nightmare. How could she have given in to a younger man?
"Sophia?"
" ... Yes." Sophia gritted her teeth.
"Okay, Sophia, I''ll get going now," Chuck went out. Sophia was left alone in the room. After she
snapped out from her daze, she snorted to herself, "I can''t believe I got led by the nose by a brat!"
Seeing Chuck''s expression as he walked out of the room, ck Rose became even more curious.
What did he request for?
Due to the confident smile on his face, she immediately understood. Did Chuck manage to
sessfully establish cooperation with the head of the Lawrence family?
If so, what were they working together for?
Soon, both of them got into their respective vehicles.
The engine was roaring as Chuck drove back home, ck Rose following him closely behind.
Elise, who was weeping in the car, saw Chuck driving away. She ran into the private room and saw
her mother sitting on the sofa. She cried and ran over to hug her, concerned as she asked, "Mom,
are you all right?"
She just wanted tofort her mother. How would Sophia possibly be fine?
Chuck hade out with a big smile on his face. He must have done it to her. Elise was in great
pain. It was all her fault.
"I''m fine, don''t cry, I''m okay," Sophia said as she shook her head.
"Mom, don''t lie to me. Did Chuck do something to you?" Elise was sad. What should she do?
