My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 281

Karen looked at Yvette and sighed softly, "I don't blame you because you're being used by your family. I have been holding in my breath the moment you entered the room just now. I can hold my breath for half an hour, besting the world's record by seven minutes. And, for your information, that was my record three years ago."

Stupefied, Yvette blinked with surprise.

"As for you, a person who has never undergone proper training, the most you can last would be three minutes given your current physical state. It has been less than ten minutes since you had entered this room, and I can still hold it for another twenty minutes. Now, you have less than two minutes to leave. If you stay here, you will die soon," Karen told her in a tranquil voice, sounding almost lifeless.

"Who on earth are you? You've already known what I was going to do, haven't you?" Yvette's eyes shot with lasers and fires.

"Yes, we share a very similar experience. I know what you're thinking," Karen said as she walked over to the window and stretched out her hand, trying to open it.

"Don't move!" Yvette shouted, her eyes glistened with coldness.

Karen shook her head, saying, "You wouldn't be able to hold your breath any longer if I don't open it now. The gas spreads a lot faster in the air than you'd think."

Every untrained man who attempted to murder Karen in the past had always opted to use drugs and poisons. Yvette did not have a chance to drug her food or drink. Hence, it was obvious that she would utilize the air.

Yvette then yelled, "Let go of my husband! Do you hear me?"

Karen responded, "I've never controlled him. I will tell you the truth: I'm your husband's—"

Suddenly, she was interjected by a knock on the door. As Karen walked towards the door, Yvette stopped her with her arm and repeated, "Let's not make this bloody."

Yvette knew that she was no match for this woman in front of her. However, she must give it a try to save Chuck out of here since Karen was the one who had him under control.

"You do not have the strength and skills to fight against me now, don't you know that? Think about it, smart girl." Karen brushed past her and opened the door. It was Betty who was standing outside.

"Don't breathe," Karen reminded.

Betty threw a glance at Yvette, frowned. "Hmm, Young..."

Bam!

All of a sudden, Yvette fell to the ground. Karen glanced over her shoulder at Yvette and sighed. She then walked over to the window and opened it, allowing the poisonous gas to drift out of the room.

Karen crouched down, examining the wounds on Yvette. "She must have been tortured for more than ten days, judging on her injuries. No wonder her eyes looked so fierce. Gone is the empathetic, compassionate teacher. For her to undergo such huge changes within this short period, she must have been through many moments of despair. Poor girl..."

Karen took out a dagger and made an incision on Yvette's wrist. The poison in Yvette's system gushed out right away as blackish blood.

"President Lee, are you going to take care of her?" Betty asked as she entered the room.

Karen replied, "If nothing happens to Chucky, I will take care of her. After all, she has been a great help to Chucky for so many years. This is what I owe her. However, as Chucky is now in danger, I don't have time to tend to her. Besides, she won't allow me to stay with her either."

After ensuring all the poison left Yvette's system, Karen pressed on the wound to stop the bleeding. Yvette's brows furrowed, her eyes remained shut. She was still in a deep coma.

She had been sleepless for days.

"How's the investigation going?" Karen picked Yvette up and put her onto the sofa.

"I went to the scene and questioned Vivian. Not many clues were found though. I have sent all our men to search for Young Master," reported Betty. Vivian had told Betty about Chuck's unusual behavior and the unknown man who trespassed on the compound.

The deduction that she could make at this moment was that Chuck's kidnap was most likely planned. In other words, there were definitely some traces left in the woods. It was unlikely that Chuck was taken by a vehicle as it could be easily captured by the spycams. Hence, Chuck was probably still in the woods around the training ground but was hidden deep inside.

A lot of manpower was required to search the area thoroughly.

"Well, Chucky should be fine. But, tortures would be unavoidable." Karen's eyes were cold as she spoke, "Prepare the SUV. We're going into the woods."

"It has already been prepared," said Betty. She had already expected this from the moment Karen changed into her camouflage uniform.

Worried, Betty asked, "What about Yvette? Should we let her go?"

"What can we do with her if we keep her? Kill her? If Chucky finds out about it, I'll be in serious trouble. Besides, I can't do that. In fact... she shares so many similarities with Willa. Since Willa is not interested in dating Chucky yet, Yvette still makes the best candidate. Unfortunately, her family makes it impossible for her to stay with Chucky," Karen sighed.

She could not do anything about it. In fact, Karen had considered letting Chuck and Yvette stay together. However, the current situation did not permit Karen to do so. She was worried that Yvette would kill Chuck one day in the future.

"Let's go. When she wakes up later, she will leave on her own." Karen left the room while Betty followed behind her. She then added, "She'll be fine. Her family knows that I won't harm her since they have Chucky in their hands. I will never put Chucky's life on the line. Never!"

Ring! They heard the phone ringing.

Karen took out her cell phone and saw Willa's name on the screen. Her heart missed a beat. Did Willa call her to look for Chuck? It was unlikely that Willa made this phone call to talk to her, not at this moment.

She picked up the phone.

"Sister Karen, are you busy?" Willa's gentle voice came from the speaker.

"Yeah, I am," answered Karen and she strode out of the room.

Willa then asked, "Well, then... how is Chucky? It has been a few days. Is the training too hard for him? Probably not, right? He has inherited your good genes when it comes to stamina."

Willa was just bored. She wanted to talk to Chuck but he certainly would not have his cell phone with him. Hence, she decided to call Karen.

When Karen remained quiet, Willa questioned, "Sister Karen, are you there? Is there anything wrong?"

"Yes, something has happened to Chucky," Karen replied solemnly.

"Alright, I'll be right there!"

Willa said and quickly hung up the phone. Karen would have been elated under other circumstances. After all, Willa's concern for Chucky was undeniable. However, now that Chuck's life was at risk, Karen was not in the mood to be cheered by this.

Karen and Betty got in the car. Karen's driving skills were splendid. The car galloped on the rough terrain, climbing every bump in the woods as if it was on an even trail. Soon, they arrived at the spot where Chuck was kidnapped. Karen studied the area and began to deduce Chuck's current location.

"Get the plane ready! I am leaving this place!"

Willa came out of her office and ordered, and the secretary immediately ran over. "President Logan, you have a meeting with Director Cannon at two o'clock later. Then at four, you'll need to sign the contract for the purchase of the Dinglyn Group. You also have another meeting with the Chamber of Commerce at night. You—"

Willa interrupted at once, "Postpone them and get the plane ready!"

Then, she exited the building in a 20 million dollars sports car. With her excellent driving skills and the car's exceptional specifications, she arrived at her private airport within ten minutes. She immediately boarded the private plane and headed towards the training school.

When she was on the plane, she made another call to Karen using her satellite phone to inquire about the details. After knowing that Chuck was taken away during his training in the woods, she

immediately studied the map around the area using her tablet.

Willa spent three hours in the air and figured out a few potential hideouts of the kidnapper. Willa was of the same opinion as Karen— Chuck was definitely still in the woods.

"Open the door!" Willa put on the paraglider. Below her was Chuck's training ground. It was time for her to get off.

"President Logan, it's too dangerous! The terrain below is way too complicated!" The pilot reminded her.

Based on his extensive experiences, he could tell that it was too risky to enter this dense forest given its diversified terrain system.

"Open the door!" Willa repeated regardless.

The pilot had no choice but to follow her instructions.

Willa was in her camouflage uniform and had all the equipment she required before going into the woods. She leaped off the plane and slid towards her destination within seconds. She then opened her parachute and landed accurately on the first suspected site.

Willa unbuckled the parachute and jumped down from the tree. She glanced around and started to search for Chuck. She knew very well that the kidnapper dared abduct Chuck here as he had utilized the complex terrain system in this dense jungle.

Willa's eyes sparkled with coldness, "No matter who you are, if anything happens to Chucky, I will definitely kill you!"
