My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 428

The door was kicked open all of a sudden. Chuck rushed in, overwhelmed with rage.

Likewise, Landon was in a similar state as well. Chuck was actually standing in front of him!

He had already let Patricia go. How dare he do something like this!

Didn't Chuck come over just to show off his power over Landon? He had just wanted to remind him that his family was wealthier!

That wasn't a problem. Landon would let him have his glory this time.

But just for this day.

"One day, I'll make you pay a thousand times more for the disgrace you've inflicted upon me!" he promised in his mind.

"Chuck," Landon greeted calmly. Nothing much had happened anyway. He hadn't done anything to offend him just yet. Chuck's moment of glory would be over soon. After that, Landon could still have his way with the gorgeous woman.

"Boom!"

Chuck swung his leg at Landon in an instant.

Landon screamed and fell to the ground. Clutching his abdomen, he was sweating buckets as he yelled, "Chuck, how dare you!" He was positively fuming!

How dare Chuck humiliate him like this? He would remember this moment forever!

Landon gritted his teeth and managed to get up. This was more than enough! It had to end here.

However, Landon was taken aback by what he saw next.

After Chuck had kicked at Landon, he walked up to the lovely woman he had held captive. His face was pinched in distress.

What was going on? Did they know each other?

Landon's heart rate spiked in an instant...

"Honey," Chuck called while looking at Yvette. His heart felt like it was about to burst in agony.

There was blood trailing from the corner of her mouth and her face had turned red with Landon's palm prints all over.

How long had she been tormented like this?

He hurriedly untied her hands.

To be honest, Yvette hadn't felt anything when she had been hit by Landon just now. She could bear the pain. But upon seeing Chuck, her line of defense crumbled.

Tears started to leak out of her eyes involuntarily. She had been aggrievedly slapped again and again just now...

Chuck released Yvette's hands and saw that her wrists were entirely covered in scrapes and bruises. Chuck's heart broke into even more pieces at that and said, "Honey, what happened? Betty, call a doctor!" Betty was also astonished. As it turned out, the reason Chuck had been so anxious to get here was that Yvette was here!

However, how did she end up here to begin with?

"Hubby, I'm fine," Yvette murmured softly. She really wanted to cry. Chuck had shown up in her hour of need yet again.

"Are you alright?" Chuck reached out and cupped her face gently. Yvette's face was in pain and swollen red.

"It hurts," Yvette whimpered. She didn't want to hide anything in front of Chuck.

"Alright, I'll stop touching it now. Why are you here, Honey?" Chuck asked anxiously. It still didn't make sense to him. How did Yvette even get to know Patricia?

"I..." Yvette trailed off. How should she reply? Should she admit to being an assassin and acknowledge her job to protect Patricia?

"Honey, let's not talk about this first, alright? I'll avenge you now! I'll have him killed in this instance!" Chuck swore, turning his head to glare at Landon. His eyes filled with killing intent. How dare Landon beat his wife up like this?

Yvette felt warm and fuzzy inside and finally felt safe for a moment. Even if she was an assassin, she was still a woman after all. "Hubby..."

After receiving the murderous glare from Chuck, Landon shivered all over as if he had been splashed with a basin of freezing cold water. Honey? Hubby?

Was the beautiful woman he had tormented Chuck's wife?

Landon was stumped. How was this possible? How could this happen?

Landon's heart was throbbing painfully in his chest. He had assumed that Chuck was here to show off, but he had never thought that...

He couldn't believe this!

He had actually beaten up Chuck's wife!

Landon started to feel fear creep up on him. Currently, the Allen family was no match for Chuck's. He had made a horrible mistake.

"Wait, hold on! This was just a misunderstanding! A big misunderstanding!" Landon trembled and start to back away as Chuck inched closer to him. He was terrified. "Misunderstanding? You hit my wife!" Chuck yelled as he advanced towards him. In his hand, he held a crutch.

Landon shrieked when he saw this and attempted to stagger out of the room. However, Betty had been waiting by the door. Without letting him through, she shut it. Landon was frightened, his legs were shaking as he pleaded, "No, please, I didn't know that she was your wife! I really didn't. Don't hit me, don't... Grandpa, Grandpa!"

Landon hurriedly took out his mobile phone and made a video call to Leonardo.

Now, only his grandfather could save him.

The call went through soon enough.

"Landon, what are you doing up so late at night? Hey, Chuck's behind you..." On the screen, Leonardo looked to be sitting up on his bed. Through the video call, he saw that Chuck was holding a crutch and was slowly advancing towards his grandson. Landon was sweating profusely. What was going on?

"Grandpa, save me, please! I'm begging you!" Landon was about to cry.

"What happened?" Leonardo asked in confusion.

"I-I hit Chuck's wife by accident and now... He wants to kill me!" Landon cried out.

"You did what?!" Leonardo jumped out of bed in anger. How could he...?

"Grandpa, I didn't mean to. I really didn't know! Ah!" Landon screamed.

Chuck had struck him with the crutch!

"Ah! Grandpa, save me. Please, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna..." Landon burst into tears, continuing to beg.

"Young Master Cannon, I really don't know what's wrong with Landon. But could you please let him go this time? I promise I'll make it up to you!" Leonardo sighed anxiously. Why did Landon provoke Chuck again?

Landon was one of his favorite grandchildren. Of course, he couldn't just watch him die before him like this.

Chuck didn't say a word in reply to that at all. He merely swung his crutch at Landon again.

"Ah!"

Hearing Landon's tortured scream, Leonardo's eyes started to burn from heartache. "Young Master Cannon, don't kill my grandson. How much money do you want? Tell me! I'll give it to you now!" he offered desperately.

He was anguished. If Landon died like this, he would be heartbroken.

"Didn't I say to stop provoking me?!" Chuck bellowed coldly.

"Landon didn't know. Please, he didn't mean it. You b*stard child! Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Cannon right now!" Leonardo chided.

"Okay, okay. I will. I'll kneel," Landon clenched his jaw and got on his knees in front of Chuck. He felt so ashamed. He would remember this day until his death!

"I'm so sorry, Young Master Cannon. I was wrong, please forgive me," Landon sobbed.

He couldn't believe that he was kneeling before someone else now. This was a whole other level of shame he was enduring.

"Young Master Cannon, see! Landon admitted that he was wrong now. I'm willing to do anything for you, alright? Just tell me what it is. I only beg you not to kill him," Leonardo said nervously.

"Do you think you still have money to offer me?" Chuck glared at him through the video. His voice had changed into something so much more sinister.

"You...what did you say?" Leonardo questioned in a quivering voice.

The entire Allen family had belonged to him. Of course, he had money! Why had Chuck made such a statement? Was he going to take everything away from him?

"From the moment Landon laid a hand on my wife, he'd already signed a death contract for your family. Do you understand now?" Chuck said nonchalantly.

Indeed.

Yvette had grown up with Chuck and was someone very dear to him. After having tortured her, Landon and the entire Allen family had to be decimated! "You..." Leonardo's face darkened at that. He had practically yielded in front of Chuck! How dare he threaten to destroy the Allen family!

Didn't Chuck know how many people there were in his family?

Did he even know how much the Allen family was worth?!

Landon was horrified. What did just Chuck say? Was Chuck looking to get himself killed? The collective anger of the Allen family would blast him into smithereens! "Chuck Cannon, do you know what you're implying here? You're making me angry!" Leonardo scowled. The Four Greatest Households were no joke. No one would be able to resist his family's rage. "You're not qualified to talk to me. You're nothing but trash in my eyes," Chuck said and walked up to Landon.

Indeed, there was no Allen family anymore. Who was this so-called head of the Allen Family? He was nothing more than a pile of garbage!

Leonardo narrowed his eyes at that and threatened, "Don't think you're a big shot just because I've yielded to you. Let me tell you, my family's not afraid of anyone. If you dare touch another hair on Landon today, I'll do everything I can to wipe you and your family off the Earth!"

Hearing Leonardo's powerful threat, Landon regained his confidence. He should have done that to begin with! Chuck was nothing!

"That's right! You heard Grandpa! Let me go or he'll kill you!" Landon laughed wildly. He had almost forgotten that his family was one of Four Greatest Households! If the Allen family were to put up a full-on fight, Chuck wouldn't dare lay another finger on him!
