My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 184

The man's eyes lit up, and the other rich people nearby looked at him. Did someone just buy this building with that price?

"Are you sure?" The boss contained his excitement and stood up to ask.

"Yes, you can prepare the contract now, and the money will be transferred to your account soon." It was Chuck Cannon who spoke.

He caught a glimpse of many wealthy people looking angry but nobody took action. Since the owner's attitude stayed resolute, he could only call his mother to inquire. Unexpectedly, she only smiled and gave him the go signal to buy the property.

Chuck heaved a sigh of relief. His mother had such a strong desire to own this place, but he didn't know what she planned to develop here.

This aroused Chuck's interest.

Everyone in the room grew quiet as they look at him in odd surprise.

Who could this young man be?

The owner bowled over because he managed to acquire 2.5 billion dollars within a minute. He examined it thoroughly and confirmed it was a legitimate transaction. He said in haste, "Okay, I have received the money. Please follow me to sign the contract."

"What? You already have the money?" The others were shell-shocked.

How could that man directly send 2.5 billion dollars to the owner's account? Every bank transaction had a limit allowed for each transfer, so how high could his be?

Incredible!

Quinn, who was sitting in the corner, found it hard to believe. How could he give it to him right away?

By the looks of it, Chuck was probably taking Zelda as a mistress instead of the other way round. However, why would he take interest in a woman 10 years older than him?

"It's alright, someone will contact you about it." Chuck shook his head. Just now, his mother said that she would let Chuck sign on her behalf. However, he thought that the scale of the contract was too large, so he decided his mother should sign the contract herself. When he had the capacity, he could buy it later on his own.

Chuck didn't know his mother's intention in buying this place. He would feel embarrassed if he had to ask money from his mother again next time.

Besides, he didn't have any other ideas. After signing, the contract would still be left aside for now. It was better to let his mother carry out her plan. "Sister Zelda, let's get going," Chuck said.

Zelda was still in amazement, "Chuck, you've given him the payment, but you don't want to sign the contract or complete processing the documents. Aren't you afraid he'll run away with the money?" He had spent 2.5 billion dollars on buying this building in less than a minute!

This changed Zelda's concept of being wealthy. He was filthy rich.

"Nobody could run and hide with my money. Let's go." Chuck laughed. Who would dare to escape with his money? Where could that person run to?

His mother would catch that person at once.

When Chuck asked his mother the same question, she just chuckled, and Chuck got the message.

Zelda followed Chuck closely in a daze. Quinn stood up and asked, "Who the hell are you?"

She was hopping mad. She yearned to buy this building, but she failed.

"It's none of your d*mn business." Chuck shook his head.

Quinn narrowed her eyes and said, "I had my eyes on this building."

"If so, why didn't you buy it earlier? Now that I have already bought it, what are you bothering me for?" Chuck ignored her and went outside with Zelda. Quinn was foaming at the mouth.

The affluent people left in the room were all caught off guard. Did that man leave just like that?

"Mr. Carter, who was that young man? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"I know the woman he was with. She runs her own business at a restaurant. I've eaten at her restaurant a few times, but I'm pretty sure she can't afford this place!"

Several people with deep pockets were talking about it as well. They could not bear to spend so much money at once. Even if they did, they needed to save up for a long time first.

The building owner came to his senses at last. He felt like he was in a beautiful dream and just shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know, but the young man gave me a feeling that there is a formidable figure we can't imagine behind him."

His tone became dignified as he spoke.

"Like an influential person?" Everyone present was appalled. If he could take out 2.5 billion dollars with just one phone call, he could possess more than 10 billion dollars.

If today's incident spread, the entire Ocean City would get blown away!

Chuck and Zelda took the elevator down with Zelda still in a stupor. She asked, "Chuck, am I hallucinating?"

"Sister Zelda, I can assure you that you're not," Chuck smirked. Zelda's adorable expression could make any man fall in love with her.

"I don't think so either," Zelda replied. Chuck, who stood beside her, was so real. How could she be dreaming?

The elevator door opened and the two of them headed to the parking area. However, Chuck frowned because he saw four people coming out of the corner looking very aggressive.

"What do you want from us?" Zelda was furious. She could tell they were coming for Chuck because of their fierce stares aimed at him.

"What do we want? Someone asked us to teach him a lesson, so he won't be so ignorant later!" The bald leader said coldly.

Chuck frowned. Did Quinn arrange this? Nobody else apart from her could have planned an ambush like this.

"It was Quinn who ordered you to come here, wasn't it? How much did she offer you? I'll double it!" Chuck proclaimed. Zelda steamed up. It must be Quinn who made the arrangement. How could she treat Chuck like this!

"Double the pay? Can you even afford it? Get lost!" The bald man came over with a cold face and scoffed, "Guys, let's beat him up!"

The four of them gathered around Chuck while Chuck shielded Zelda behind him. Suddenly, Zelda took out a pepper spray from her bag and spritzed it directly on the two men nearest to her. "Argh!! My eyes are burning! They hurt!" The two quickly covered their eyes and snarled in exasperation.

Pow! Pow!

Chuck punched the guys cold. Two days of training didn't develop his strength, but he now knew where he should strike. Now, he could make them lose their endurance fast. Chuck's quick punch made one of them groan and fall to the ground writhing in pain. Then, he hit the man's cheek and knocked him out with one blow.

The bald man who took the lead was shocked and rushed over wildly. Chuck was ready to test his power. However, Zelda had already sprayed the bald man's eyes, making him growl in pain. He shielded his eyes with his hands, and Chuck kicked him down. The bald man fell hard as well.

After Chuck gave out a few punches, he let out a cry. Chuck beamed and added a few more strokes to the other three, trouncing the four men.

Zelda's quick thinking had helped Chuck. If not, Chuck might have gone through a tough encounter. It seemed Zelda had often got assailed. Otherwise, she would not have prepared for this. "Sister Zelda, you're so amazing," Chuck praised.

Zelda's face flushed. Once, five people wanted to harm her, and this was how she dealt with them. She was well trained and prepared. When she saw Chuck about to get beaten, her instincts kicked in. After all, she liked him a lot.

Ding!

When the elevator door opened, Quinn and her assistant came out. The shock on Quinn's face was apparent as she realized how useless those four guys were.

"President, you may go first. I'll stop them!" The assistant gritted his teeth.

"Can you deal with him?" Quinn was irate. She didn't expect her assistant to hire such incompetent gangsters.

Chuck and Zelda came over. Chuck stared at her with so much rage. The only thing he said was that she was saggy, didn't he? Why did she have to hire people to attack him? This woman had gone overboard.

"What are you doing?" The assistant blocked their path. Chuck responded by slapping him hard. With a thud, the assistant dropped to the ground.

Quinn stared at Chuck. She could also afford this building, so she had nothing to fear. She did not think that Chuck would hit her.

"Quinn, you've gone too far. How dare you try to do us dirty!" Zelda was infuriated.

"So what?" Quinn asked coldly. She didn't deny it since she really did it. What was there to fear?

"Is this your way of doing things? What if someone dies?" Zelda wanted to hit her.

"Say whatever you want. Get out of my way. I'm leaving this stupid place," Quinn said.

Her tone remained calm.

"Leave? Do you think I'll let you go easily when you've called people to beat me up?" Chuck suddenly smiled. If his mother knew, Quinn would be poorly beaten, at the very least. Quinn sneered, "You don't want to let me leave? How dare you! You have no power to stop me!"

Chuck was in a towering rage with her self-righteousness! Let's see how long she can stay like that! Chuck approached her with a sinister look.

Quinn brooded, "What are you planning to do? Do you want to hit me?"

Chuck shook his head, "I don't hit women, but if someone is plotting against me, then it's in my personality to exact revenge, so..."

An idea lit up in Chuck's mind.
