Chapter 664


    Upon hearing Sophia''s words, Elise was especially shocked. Why was her mother mumbling to


    herself?


    "Mom, why did you talk to him? Why are you suddenly treating him so well?" Elise was confused.


    Even if he was their business partner, her mother would definitely hate Chuck nheless!


    After all, Chuck almost made an unreasonable request to her mother previously.


    She knew that her mother must secretly hate Chuck. She was just forced to cooperate with him.


    "No, didn''t I already tell you? He''s your benefactor," Sophia shook her head and replied vaguely.


    "But, Mom, he told me that he wanted to sleep with you in front of me back then..." Elise reminded


    her.


    What was wrong with her mother??


    She was acting strange.


    Elise herself couldn''t figure out what was wrong with her mother.


    "Elise, that''s enough. Listen to me, okay? Chuck is my business partner. He has potential. That''s


    why I''ve changed my attitude towards him," Sophia caressed her daughter''s hair gently.


    "He..." Elise pursed her lips and grumbled, "What kind of potential does he have?"


    She was well aware of Chuck''s ability despite saying so.


    Previous in the Amazon, she had Chuck locked up and confined. Any normal person would have


    been at their wits'' end, but Chuck was resilient. Despite having a head injury, he still managed to


    take her hostage and escape into the depths of the forest!


    In addition, he had kept his cool and was expressionless throughout his escape into the forest.


    This was not something that ordinary people could manage.


    "Okay, Mom, I won''t say anymore. Even if I fight with him, I won''t go overboard," Elise smiled faintly,


    an indication that she really agreed with her mother''s proposal.


    "Good," After listening to Elise, Sophia was relieved. There was a voice in her heart pestering her to


    ask a question to her daughter.


    "Elise," Sophia was helping Elise straighten out her locks.


    "Mom, are you okay?" Elise was astonished. It was rare for her mother to act like this.


    She seemed to be at a loss.


    "I''m good. I''m just wondering, will you be able to ept me having a boyfriend?" Sophia couldn''t


    evene clean.


    She felt guilty over what she had done to Chuck. She had been drugged and she had refused to let


    him go. As an elder, it was her fault that this happened to her and Chuck.


    This was too serious of a matter. She couldn''t keep it in.


    She couldn''t even keep it a secret in front of her beloved daughter.

    "A boyfriend?" Elise was surprised.


    Of course she could ept that fact!


    Since young, she had known that Sophia was lonely ever since her divorce. As her daughter, she


    couldn’t bear to leave her mother alone.


    After all, Sophia still looked perfect and gorgeous. Men would swoon over her! As long as she was


    willing to, the number of her suitors was simply uncountable.


    Furthermore, she was rich and had a nice figure, as well as a unique charm. It was something that


    all men liked, wasn''t it?


    However, Sophia had always rejected them.


    She was particrly reluctant to start another rtionship.


    As her daughter, Elise didn''t want Sophia to be so lonely. She had tried helping her mother by


    carefully selecting and introducing several high-quality men to her mother.


    However, Sophia had refused her directly.


    Thus, Elise couldn''t do anything about it!!


    Now, did Sophia suddenly meet her Mr. Right?


    If that was true, Elisa would be d for her mother''s happiness.


    "No, that''s not it. We''re just..." Sophia was at a loss. She thought of the time when she was with


    Chuck.


    "Just what?" Elise was thrilled.


    "Nothing. Does that mean you''ll ept our rtionship?" Sophia was especially downcast. Why did


    she even ask this in the first ce?


    "Yes, of course! Mom, when will you bring him to see me?" Elise could not wait anymore.


    Judging by the duo''s taste, someone of Sophia''s taste would be a muscr, tall and handsome


    man. In addition, he''d have to possess a manly demeanor and also great intelligence to be able to


    be a good match to Sophia.


    Elise was pretty sure of it.


    How was Sophia going to answer her daughter? It wasn''t like she could call Chuck over.


    In addition, even if he came, she would not dare to introduce him to Elise!


    "Mom, why don''t you tell me? You want to give me a surprise, don''t you? Are you secretly married?"


    Elise asked expectantly.


    "Of course not, I''m just asking this for fun!" Sophia shook her head hurriedly.


    Marrying Chuck?


    It was unexpected and also impossible. At her age, she just needed heartwarmingfort. She


    didn''t need a marriage certificate, nor a promise for a lifetime.


    Even if Chuck asked her, she wouldn''t agree either. She would doom Chuck for sure.


    Sophia would actually be satisfied if they could be together asionally. At the same time, it was


    improbable since when Chuck left, he made it clear his guilt towards Yvette...


    Since this was the case, how could Chucke and find her?


    "Ohe on, why would you ask something like this for fun?" Elise was anxious.


    "I really didn''t mean it. I''m tired and I need some rest." Sophia changed the topic.


    "Fine. But if you really have someone you like, you have to tell me!"


    "Yes, I will," Sophia herself was secretly startled.


    Did she like someone?


    No. At least, not for the time being.


    This was more like a beautiful ident. After that, Chuck had managed to wander into Sophia''s


    heart and take the ce as the second man she''d slept with in a long time.


    After hearing Sophia''s words, Elise could only go back to her room. Meanwhile, Sophia sat in a


    daze for a long time. In the end, she sighed and murmured to herself, "This is fate..."


    The Oatker family was in a state of utter anxiety. Two of their family members had actually died.


    What the hell was going on here?


    Was it done by the Lawrence family?


    They were both astonished and angry. All of a sudden, something resembling a meteor flew over in


    the dead of the night and...


    A giant mushroom cloud emerged from some distance away...


    Countless Oatkers were killed or wounded. Their losses were severe!


    They immediately attempted to seek out the culprit.


    In the meantime.


    Karen, who was in the room, suddenly felt the ground shaking. She was shocked. What just


    happened?


    In fact, she was going to the Oatker family. First of all, she was aiming to control the Oatker family''s


    laboratory. In other words, she was nning to take over theboratory and strengthen her own


    forces.


    However, before she set off, she felt an earthquake hitting.


    Out of shock, she called Betty and asked her what was going on.


    A whileter, Betty came over, slightly confused.


    "President Lee..." She was dumbfounded.


    "What the hell just happened? This doesn''t seem like an earthquake, and there''s no reports of an


    earthquake nearby either. So..." Karen trailed off. Based on her previous experience, she could only


    narrow it down to one possibility!


    "It''s a bomb explosion! One of the Oatker family''s bases suddenly exploded just now!" When Betty


    heard this news, she was overwhelmed with shock.


    Why did this happen? It didn''t make sense!


    Now all the people in the United States knew that Karen was fighting with the Oatker family!


    Some were even surprised by Karen''s hidden strength. After all, the Oatker family was one of the


    Four Greatest Households. Yet, Karen, who had been chased out of the Lee family, actually


    managed to stand a chance and even hold an advantage against the Oatkers. Everyone was


    dumbfounded by such a turn of events!


    "Who did it?" Karen took a deep breath. She had also just thought of the possibility since only a


    bomb could cause a tremor of such sort.


    "ording to the tremor, this is probably from the Lawrence family''s V-model bomb," With every


    word, Betty found herself even more astonished.


    When she analyzed it just now, she thought that she had made a mistake. Why was the Lawrence


    family throwing bombs onto the Oatker family''s territories?


    Did the two families have aplete falling-out?


    She was astounded because the Lawrence family had always adopted a neutral stance, even after


    finding out that Karen was dealing with the Oatker family. Now, the Lawrence family had suddenly


    changed their stance. It had taken both Betty and Karen by surprise.


    Why now?


    "Sophia Lawrence?" Karen was stunned and could only mumble, "What''s wrong with her?"


    "I don''t know, but judging by the tremor from a while ago, it was most probably done by the


    Lawrence family," Betty was also puzzled.


    Karen''s eyes shed with an unknown gleam as she asked, "For what reason?"


    "Could it be because of the Young Master? After all, the Young Master is cooperating with her. She


    seems pretty willing to cooperate with him," Betty voiced out her thoughts.


    "I don''t think so. Even if Chucky has cooperated with her, it''s also done in secret. No one knows


    about it. How can Sophia go against the Oatker family so openly?" Karen felt that this was


    impossible.


    What was more, Chuck and Sophia didn''t have a close rtionship. She was clearly aware of this.


    Therefore, it was even more impossible.


    If this was the case, why would Sophia suddenly do this? Why?


    Karen was very curious.
