My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 181

Yvette returned to her shop, still confused as she sat inside her office. She just asked Wilbur if he was the Baller, to which he denied.

Wilbur's dumbfounded look convinced her that he was not the Baller she was looking for. The identity of the Baller still remained a mystery to her.

Yvette's mind was full of questions. She turned her cell phone on and looked at the Baller's WeChat messages. He still wouldn't take back the money she owed him. The idea of what he could ask in return bothered her.

Yvette sighed, shaking her head. She continued to transfer money to "Baller's" bank account.

Chuck felt relieved when he checked his WeChat account on his phone. He ignored the messages since there was no way he would let the Baller appear again.

He saw Yvette leave in disappointment. He assumed that she didn't get the answer she longed to hear, especially since Wilbur already knew what he should say.

Meanwhile, Wilbur continued admiring Zabrina's beautiful face in a daze, which made Chuck wonder: Is Zabrina that attractive? The most that she had would be natural beauty.

The dress she wore at the last party was quite provocative, but her beauty was nothing compared to Yvette's.

Especially in her hips.

Chuck stopped watching. Zabrina was Wilbur's cup of tea, and he shouldn't stare at his friend's girl for so long.

Lara stayed by his side the entire time, with her eyes fixed on Zabrina. She was dying to get her signature, but Chuck didn't care and left her alone.

He had to get his car from the BMW service center.

"Where are you going?" Lara finally came to her senses.

Chuck walked away without saying a word, prompting Lara to stomp her feet in anger. She chased after him. "Chuck, don't do this, please."

Chuck frowned, "Why are you trailing after me?"

"Well... I just..." Lara stammered. Yeah, right! Why was she chasing after him? Didn't she like him?

"You stole my heart and you're asking me why?" Lara announced confidently. He was the one who pretended to be the Baller and added her on WeChat.

"I'm sorry, but I already have a wife. She's your professor, Teacher Jordan." Chuck shook his head and left.

"B*stard! You jerk! You lied to me! How could you do this to me?" Lara shouted.

Lara's eyes darkened in an instant. She felt aggrieved and bitter. She didn't do anything to hurt him and even showed him her body. What more did he want from her?

Chuck stopped and spun around. He scowled, mainly at her accusations of him being a liar.

He merely asked for her naked photos. If he knew how mean and sarcastic she was, Chuck wouldn't add her on his WeChat.

Lara yelled, "Chuck, don't think you are so powerful because you have money. With my appearance and figure, I can get any man I want!"

She was upset, and she swung her gaze at the plaza as she announced, "You will regret this. I will replace the plaza's owner and become his wife. He is surely richer than you. I will make you feel sorry!" Chuck was stunned. What was she trying to do?

Lara felt gratified. It seemed Chuck had regretted his actions after she spoke. Lara had a slender figure and was brimming with confidence. When she was still in school, one official had taken an interest in her and asked her to be his sugar daughter, but she refused. It was a guarantee that most men would fall for her looks!

Lara snorted, "I will replace Yolanda tomorrow to ask for the plaza owner's phone number. If I make the first move in pursuing him, he will accept me. But if you apologize now and talk to me nicely, I won't go after him... Hey, where are you going?"

Chuck ignored her, turned around and left. He chuckled at her senseless statements. No matter how desperate she wanted to end up as the plaza owner's wife, he would never agree to it.

"Stop talking nonsense. You'll never become the owner's wife." Chuck's words came over.

Lara screamed, "B*stard! You're a filthy b*stard! I'll replace him! I'll do it, I swear! Just wait and see!"

She was so furious that her whole body quivered with rage. She wiped her tears away and felt wronged. She returned to her store and looked outside the window in a daze.

After a while, Lara took out her mobile phone to delete the Baller's name from her contacts. However, after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't bear to do it. Instead, she put her phone away to avoid accidentally deleting the contact. She vowed, "I will delete his contact after I return the sum I owe him! I must, and I will."

"Zabrina, let's have dinner together. I know a few restaurants in my plaza where we can share a good meal." Wilbur smiled at Zabrina, who was resting at this moment.

Zabrina asked, "Well... What's the connection between you and Mr. Cannon?"

"Um... He's my friend." She caught Wilbur by surprise. Why did Zabrina have to mention Chuck?

"Friends? No wonder he invested in this movie and asked us to shoot here. It's all because of you," Zabrina said.

"What?" Despite his surprise, Wilbur tried to mask his surprise to his best ability. Why didn't Chuck admit it when he asked just now? It's amazing for him to invest in movies!

He was jealous of Chuck for having such an amazing financial ability!

"You didn't know?" Zabrina found it strange for him to be clueless about this.

"I know, I just forgot. Are you done shooting today? Let's have dinner at night," Wilbur spoke nervously.

Zabrina felt that she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She asked, "Will Mr. Cannon join us?"

"He has to be with his girlfriend. He doesn't have time," Wilbur made up a quick excuse.

Zabrina's expression changed as she said, "Oh, okay. Wait for me to finish the next scene, then we'll replace a place to eat on the third floor."

Wilbur found it unexpected that his plan turned out well. It was easier to pursue women by assuming the plaza owner's identity.

Chuck walked out of the plaza and saw Zelda Maine pulling over into the parking lot. He walked over to greet her. Yolanda had mentioned Zelda's store would be refurnished in the coming days. It seemed she wanted to open her store soon.

"Sister Zelda." Chuck smiled. She wore a uniform and a pair of stockings, and she looked lovely.

"Where are you headed to?" Zelda wanted to invite Chuck to her birthday party which was in a few days. She wanted to spend her birthday with him, but hesitated since Chuck looked pretty busy.

"I'm going to the BMW store to bring back my car," Chuck replied. Suddenly, he received a call from his mother. Chuck asked Zelda to hold on as he answered his phone, only to hear his mother ask him where he was now.

Chuck told her that he was at the plaza. Then, she said, "Chucky, I am still away from the city, but I found a potential project in Ocean City. Can you go there and help me take a look?" "Mom, what project?" Chuck interest was piqued. If his mom personally called this sudden, this project must be a big deal. It might involve a hundred million dollars worth of investment. His mother continued, "A building will be up for sale, and I want to buy it. Please see what's going on first and update me about the particular situation. I'll text you the address"

"Sure, Mom. Send me the address and I'll go take a look," Chuck answered. Since it was his mother who suggested this building, it must be superb. Otherwise, his mother wouldn't bother to tell him. He had to check out this structure no matter what.

"The building's owner suddenly published news of its sale. A few people have taken notice of it. If you like it, call me at once, and I will wire you the money so you buy it directly, okay?" Chuck's mother directed. Chuck asked in surprise, "Mom, don't you want to take a look at it first?"

"Haha, there's no need. It's less than two billion dollars, so I don't have to examine it. I'll send you the address. Remember to go and inspect it," Chuck's mother repeated. Chuck affirmed, "All right,"

After hanging up, he received the address. Chuck looked at it and was shocked. This was a building situated in the city center, so why was his mother planning to buy it? Perhaps she wanted to open up another hotel? Most likely.

"Sister Zelda, I have to go now," Chuck said. Because of the sudden turn of events, he couldn't fetch his car back today.

While waiting for him, Zelda noticed a lot of people in the plaza. She wondered out loud, "Chuck, why are there so many people here today?"

"Someone came to film a movie, so people are here to watch," Chuck said in satisfaction. Zabrina's popularity with the public was well-recognized.

"Why are they filming here? Did you invest in it?" Zelda was clever to figure it out. She knew Chuck had something to do with it because he grinned when she asked. "No... Well, yes. A little bit," Chuck replied helplessly. Zelda was too smart not to notice.

It amazed Zelda that Chuck had joined the entertainment business. She blinked and asked, "Where are you going? I can drop you off there." Chuck looked in the car and saw that she had black stockings on. He shook his head to clear his mind of indecent thoughts.

Zelda could see through his thinking. She was relieved and smiled. "What are you afraid of? Don't all men think like this?"
