Chapter 721
Chuck woke up. He slept very well at Patricia's house the night before.
Yvette was in his arms, looking cute when she was asleep. Chuck kissed her cheeks, and she woke up in a daze. She squeezed herself into his embrace as they held each other in silence.
The casino's grand opening was a success. So, they would stay here for a bit before going back in the afternoon, leaving Patricia in charge of the casino.
After all, Patricia had great management skills and could handle the job well.
Chuck thought about whether he should visit his home country, since he had been in here for so long now.
Yolanda had been updating Chuck on news and reports about City Square. The plaza was getting more traffic and the land they previously bought was in the midst of construction. Yolanda had her hands full.
Moreover, Quinn and Zelda were all there!
He had not seen them for a long time.
After dealing with the Yeager family, he
wanted to go back. It was his home country after all.
Memories of his childhood and adult life were all there.
Chuck and Yvette were silent for a long time before they got out of bed.
There was the smell of breakfast outside. Willa must have already prepared breakfast.
Chuck finished freshening up before Yvette did. He was the first to come out of their room.
At the dining table, Black Rose had heavy dark circles under her eyes, which looked a little bloodshot too. Chuck shrugged and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"It's none of your business." Black Rose replied coldly.
She indeed tossed and turned the night before.
She simply could not fall asleep.
She was in a daze all the way till morning and only managed to sleep around two hours.
She had never experienced this before, and she did not understand what was wrong with herself.
"Why are you so angry?" Chuck was confused.
Why did he feel like Black Rose had quite the temper recently?
It was too early for menopause!
He had grown closer to Black Rose, but why was she becoming colder towards him?
And she seemed to be getting increasingly annoyed at him?
Chuck was at a loss. He did not do anything to her, did he?
Seeing Yvette come out, Black Rose did not want to talk to Chuck any longer. "Don't talk to me.
It was only early in the morning and Chuck was already baffled. Fortunately, Willa brought out breakfast with a smile, and Patricia also had woken up.
Everyone sat down for breakfast.
Inadvertently, all four women were eating in silence. Chuck wolfed down the food Willa made because they were too delicious.
Willa quietly pushed more food towards him and so did Yvette.
Willa and Yvette's eyes met. Willa did not dare to look at Yvette as she continued to eat the porridge with her head down. She felt guilty.
Black Rose had several thoughts in her head.
Why was Chuck eating so fast?
Was someone going to take his food away?
Patricia found it funny because Chuck seemed to have a good appetite. Having a boyfriend like him would be wise.
She then came to her senses. Why was she thinking about this?
The atmosphere during breakfast was odd.
All four women were preoccupied with their thoughts. Chuck on the other hand was carefree as he continued stuffing himself with food.
Somehow, they all very accommodating to Chuck.
He did not need to reach for anything he wanted to eat. Someone would have already pushed it in front of him.
When Chuck looked like he wanted more food, Black Rose subconsciously stopped eating. Even Black Rose herself was shocked at her behavior. Why did she do this?
Why did she stop eating so that he would have more to eat?
After that, everyone headed to the casino by car.
Patricia continued to work. It was the second day of the casino's opening. Chuck and the others stayed until afternoon.
Everything went smoothly. The grand opening had raked in more than 10 billion dollars! This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
This was courtesy of Chuck, who had won an enormous amount of money in his bet against Matthias!
This was a great start for the casino.
Chuck felt that he must build up his business empire as quickly as he could!
They were ready to return from the casino and let Patricia manage things on her own.
She made Chuck feel assured about his business.
After this, they returned home together.
Karen prepared a table full of food.
Everyone sat down to have dinner together, and Chuck was very satisfied by this. They enjoyed the food and chatted late into the night. After that, they went back to their own rooms.
Sabina went to meet Adriana, but she stood motionless at the door of the luxurious room.
She was very confused and did not want to come by at all, but she found herself walking here unconsciously.
She could not and did not want to know the reason. She comforted herself by telling herself that she was actually trying to stall for time.
Now that she had come to see Adriana, she had to put the matter aside - the matter of killing Chuck with the Yeager family's resources.
Sabina did not want to kill this person who understood her.
It had been twenty years. Chuck was the only one who understood her feelings and thoughts. If he died, when would she meet such a person again?
Perhaps she did not want to. Chuck could read her, and he was considerate and sensible. It made her feel like she could let her hair down and communicate openly with him. She had never experienced such a wonderful feeling with any man before.
"You got something on your mind?" Adriana probed.
"No. What's the name of the person you're asking for my help for? If I help you now, this is also considered as keeping up my end of the deal!" Sabina wanted to fulfill her promise as soon as possible.
"Let me ask you first. Has Brooke woken up yet?" Adriana asked.
"Yes. Your medicine is very effective," Sabina replied.
"But he's only able to hold on for a few more days, right? Everyone will die, including him. He's at the end of his rope. How do you feel now? You're about to be the head of the family!" Adriana said.
Hearing this, Sabina was silent for a few seconds. She knew that Brooke's final test for her was to take Chuck and Karen's lives.
However...
"Tell me, who's the guy?" Sabina asked.
"You know him. The person who turned the Yeager family into what you guys are now," Adriana revealed.
Sabina was dumbstruck. "Are you saying, you like Chuck Cannon?"
What? How could this be?
How could Adriana like Chuck?
Sabina did not expect this at all!
She thought that Adriana liked men who were cold and indifferent. Otherwise, why did she ask for Sabina's help in getting the guy to bow before her?
"Yes, I like him! So, the Yeager family can't kill him!" Adriana exclaimed.
Sabina should have been angered at Adriana's commanding tone, but she suddenly felt a little happy. This was an excuse for not killing Chuck, wasn't it?
"I know that after Brooke wakes up, he'll definitely ask you to kill Chuck and Karen before he dies, so that he can leave in peace. I also know that you want to kill him too..."
"No, I don't..." Sabina blurted.
Adriana gave Sabina a questioning look.
Sabina explained sheepishly, "It's not that I don't want to kill him... Didn't you say that you want me to pressure him and make him beg for your help?"
"Yes, that's what I mean! Can you do this?" Adriana asked again.
"I... Adriana, Chuck has a wife, doesn't he?" Sabina said. This was what Chuck had told her.
"So what if he has a wife?" Adriana snorted coldly and said, "If he has one, I can easily deal with her!" "You want to kill Chuck's wife?" Sabina gasped in disbelief.
