Chapter 654


    When Chuck woke up, his body still felt sore. After all, he had been punched and kicked by ten


    men. Even though he had been able to withstand them, there were still the after- effects of the


    attacks to deal with. He had some internal injuries, but fortunately, none were too severe.


    He just needed to recuperate for a few days.


    Chuck took this experience as an encouragement for him to train harder.


    He had decided that he not only wanted to be the richest man in the world. He also wanted to


    be the bestbat master in the world as well.


    "Hubby, you''re finally awake! You scared the hell out of me," Yvette murmured and hugged Chuck


    affectionately.


    Faced with such a warm hug, Chuck felt himself let out a sigh of relief. When he had been with the


    Yeager family before, he had been worried about never being able to see Yvette again.


    "It''s alright. Everything''s fine now," Chuck tried tofort her.


    Yvette hugged Chuck tightly. She had not been able to sleep all night because she was worried that


    Chuck might wake in the middle of the night. Hence, she stood guard next to him in case he needed


    anything.


    "Hubby, can we stay like this while I sleep? I want to cuddle with you," Yvette pouted cutely.


    She only ever showed this side of herself to Chuck.


    Since the incident with Wi, she hadn''t been able to sleep well for a long while.


    "Of course,e on. Go to sleep," Chuckughed.


    Lying in Chuck''s arms, Yvette could not help but let out a satisfied sigh before closing her eyes and


    promptly drifting off.


    Chuck smiled as he watched her sleep in peace.


    A whileter, Chuck received a phone call. It was from Alexandrina.


    He was worried that the ringing would wake Yvette up from her slumber.


    As such, he quickly answered the call.


    "Thank goodness! I finally got through! Just what is the meaning of this? I demand an exnation!"


    Alexandrina was relieved when the call had finally connected. She was happy that Chuck was fine.


    Chuck coughed a little as he started to tell her about the incident with Wi and the Yeager family.


    After listening to his words, Alexandrina frowned. Since Chuck had asked her to help find Wi, she


    had asked all the killers to gather and report any clues they found that could be linked to Wi.


    Some of those clues had pointed her to think that Wi''s incident might be rted to the hidden


    family.


    However, she had been too startled by the possibility and hesitated to tell Chuck about it.


    That was because the hidden families were just too powerful.


    She did not expect that her conclusion was right. She couldn''t believe that Chuck had even


    managed to walk out of the Yeager family''s domain alive!


    She didn''t expect her cute lover to be so capable.


    Her admiration for Chuck skyrocketed at that moment.


    "Are you hurt? Do you want me toe over and take care of you?" She asked in a gentle tone.


    "No, there''s no need for that."


    "Why not? Don''t forget, you''re my lover now, aren''t you?" Alexandrina replied solemnly.


    Chuck remained silent.


    "If you refuse me, I''ll tell your mother about what you agreed to! She''ll beat the living sh*t out of you


    once she finds out that you''ve be my lover."


    "Hell no! Please don''t do that!" Chuck sputtered.


    If his mother knew about this, he would definitely be yelled at for eons.


    "Well then, you''d better find a way to get over here. I demand a massage from you. If you don''t, I''ll


    tell your mother!"


    "Alexandrina, can you bear to see me get beaten up by my mother?"


    "You''d have asked for it if that ever happens! You can only me your own disobedience. Right,


    rest well now. I''m sure you''ve missed me terribly..." Alexandrina continued on.


    Chuck decided to interject at that moment, "Do you have any more of those bombs? I want to buy


    some."


    Chuck wanted to buy some for his mother and Yvette so they could defend themselves as well.


    "That won''t be possible. There aren''t any more left," Alexandrina replied. There weren''t that many of


    them in the first ce!


    "Okay then. I guess I''ll see you soon."


    Feeling disappointed, Chuck coughed as he hung up the phone in a hurry.


    "B*stard, you bettere see me as soon as you can! Do you hear me? I... Hello? Did he hang up


    on me?!" Alexandrina scoffed.


    Even so, she was d because Chuck was unharmed.


    The call had reassured her of his safety.


    Knock! Knock!


    Someone knocked on her door at that moment.


    "Come in!” Alexandrina said as she remained on the sofa.


    Frieda walked in as the door opened. She wanted to know if Chuck was dead or not.


    She was particrly interested in that.


    "Boss, why are you so happy?" Frieda asked, startled. It felt like a bad omen.


    "Why wouldn''t I be? Chuck is still alive! He''s already back," Alexandrina said excitedly.


    What?!


    Frieda was sullen now. Chuck had been really lucky. Fine then! She''d just have to kill him herself.


    That was nice too.


    The sinister thought shed in Frieda''s mind.


    She would show Chuck his ce soon.


    Meanwhile, Chuck was contemting the situation at hand. He was certain that the Yeager family


    would definitely retaliate, so he had to find a solution to the matter. As such, Chuck prepared


    himself to meet up with the Lawrence family.


    They specialised in developing weapons after all. They should be able to replicate Alexandria''s


    bomb.


    He could provide them with the bomb he had for their research as well.


    To be honest, Chuck also wanted to prepare some weapons to protect himself as well. This time, he


    was not going to back down.


    The Yeager family had enraged him and so, he had to destroy them.


    He had to be as prepared as possible to do that.


    Hended a soft kiss on the sleeping Yvette''s cheek. Sensing a disturbance, she started to scratch


    at her face unconsciously, not waking up from the sweet dream that she was probably having.


    Chuck pulled himself away from Yvette as gently as he could manage.


    "Honey, I''m going out for a bit. I''ll be back soon,” Chuck whispered.

    Yvette did not reply as she was still asleep.


    With that, Chuck left.


    Meanwhile, at the door...


    ck Rose''s face was devoid of any emotion.


    Chuck was startled by the ck bruise he saw on her neck. Did someone attempt to choke her?


    What was going on?


    "ck Rose, is your neck..."


    "Are you nning to go out?" ck Rose asked coldly instead.


    She had honestly felt relieved when she saw Chuck yesterday.


    As such, she was able to finally get a good night''s sleepst night.


    "Yes, but your neck...?" Chuck asked out of curiosity. He wondered if she was injured by the Yeager


    family.


    "Don''t worry about my neck. It''s none of your business," ck Rose retorted bluntly.


    "Are you going through menopause?" Chuck asked.


    "What?!" ck Rose didn''t catcg what he was saying.


    "Forget it, let''s not talk about that. Look, I''m nning to pay the Lawrence family a visit," Chuck


    said.


    "I don''t care where it is you want to go. No matter where it is, I''ll follow you," ck Rose decided


    that she would not let him out of her sight from now on.


    "Suit yourself. Before that, I want to go see how Auntie Logan''s doing first..." Chuck said. He


    recalled back to their time together at the Yeager family''s domain. Wi had wanted to tell him


    something important before she was interrupted.


    "There''s no need to do that. I just went to check on her. She''s been given an injection already, so


    don''t disturb her rest," ck Rose said.


    Even though ck Rose regarded Wi as her opponent, she had somehow ended up feeling


    concern for her without noticing it.


    "Well, alright then. I''ll check in on her when I get back," Chuck nodded and said. It was best if he


    allowed Wi to rest up.


    Before driving out, he told Karen that he was going to head out for a bit. However, she seemed


    really busy, so he did not really have the chance to exin his n thoroughly to her. In fact, Karen


    was currently upied with the matters regarding the Oatker family.


    After taking over the Oatker family, she would hold even more power than before.


    However, Karen did not tell Chuck about what she was doing as she wanted Chuck to rest well


    without any disturbances.


    Once he got settled into his car, Chuck started the engine and proceeded to drive towards the


    Lawrence family vi. Meanwhile, ck Rose followed closely behind him.


    At that moment, in the Lawrence family household.


    The blue-eyed beauty, Elise, was staring nkly into space. Seeing this, her mother, Sophia, asked


    in concern, "Elise, what are you thinking about?"


    "Mom, when do you think Chuck Cannon wille over?" Elise asked.


    She had to admit Chuck had saved her. Therefore, she had a special ce in her heart for her


    saviour.


    Moreover, he was now working with her family as well.


    "Why do you want him here?" Sophia snorted. Chuck had embarrassed herst time.


    She thought that Chuck had wanted to pursue her, but was surprised to find that it wasn''t the case.


    She had been relieved, but his flirting had flustered her a little back then.


    He had told her how beautiful she was and that she had a great figure. He probably shouldn''t have


    objectified her like that.


    Sophia was still angry about that to this day.


    "To discuss our cooperation, of course! That''s something we need to talk about..." Elise said. Her


    family had already started to coborate with him on a project. The base was already being built as


    they spoke.


    "What are you talking about? Why do we need to do that? All he has to do is transfer half of the


    project''s funds to us, and well just pay the profits to his ount. There''s no need for us to meet up.


    I don''t want to meet him again," Sophia scoffed.


    "Mom..." Elise whined. It had been a while since she had felt like this. She wondered if it was


    possible for her to have fallen in love with Chuck.


    Chuck - the one who had secretly saved her when she was in danger in the nick of time and left


    promptly after that.


    She didn''t want to acknowledge her feelings at first, but now she was starting to ept the fact that


    she might be a little in love with Chuck. However, it was also undeniable that she still harboured


    some hatred towards him.


    The hatred in question was just slightly less prominent now, but it was still there.


    "Stop talking about it!"


    Sophia scolded her. Not a momentter, she received a phone call. She answered it in a sh, only


    to hear her subordinate report, "Madam Sophia, Chuck just arrived. He''s saying that he wants to


    talk to you."


    A wave of annoyance settled over her. What was Chuck doing here?
