My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 587

Betty was furious. This was the first time that anyone had treated Karen this way. How infuriating!

How dare they make Karen sit in a corner?

"What's wrong? Don't you wanna sit down? The only reason I'm letting you sit right now is because of Chuck. If you do not want to sit on the chairs, you're welcome to sit on the floor. The only rule is that you have to always be ten meters away from me. Other than that, you can sit anywhere on the floor as you please. Remember to put a tissue down before you sit down. I hate other people dirtying my floor," Adriana stated coldly.

Karen shook her head and remained standing, "Let's cut to the chase. Chuck is not interested in you, so you don't need to make me sit down out of consideration for him. I will leave as soon as I finish what I came here to say."

"No, you're wrong again."

Adriana glanced over at her and smirked, "It doesn't matter if he's interested in me or not. As long as I'm invested in him, then no one can stop me."

"You... Fine, whatever..." Karen was rendered speechless after hearing her words.

This was the first time in forty years that she had met anyone like Adriana.

"Do not speak to Miss Adriana in this tone," Nelson suddenly spoke up, glaring at Karen. "The same goes for you. Do not speak to me in this tone," Karen warned, frowning.

"Miss, can I slap her?" Nelson asked for Adriana's permission.

If she wasn't here, he would've slapped Karen the moment that she opened her mouth.

"Forget it, give her a chance!"

Adriana wagged a finger at Karen and remarked, "Karen Lee, it seems that you still don't know the Whitlock family very well."

"You don't know me very well, either," Karen shot back, her eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Really? Haha, as long as I'm interested, nobody can hide anything from me." Adriana smiled.

Karen looked at her sharply.

Adriana raised her hand as she gazed at Karen. She suddenly smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you. You have taken good care of yourself and your facial features aren't shabby. There must be a lot of men who are interested in you. It must be hard to control yourself with that many temptations. Nelson, replace out how many times has she cheated..."

Nelson nodded, his eyes scanning Karen from top to bottom as he made a phone call.

Betty was getting more annoyed by the moment. Adriana really was despicable!

However, Karen remained calm. She was confident since she did nothing wrong, so there was nothing to be afraid of! A moment later, Nelson's call finally connected. With a frown, he walked over to Adriana and shook his head, reporting, "There are none."

Adriana was a bit taken aback. She regarded Karen once again in a new light, "You've never cheated?"

"Well, can you really replace out anything about any woman in the world?" Karen questioned her instead.

"Yes, as long as I want to. But you've surprised me. How could you not have cheated, not even once? Well, I see that we at least have something in common. I would never cheat in marriage too," Adriana replied calmly.

"Then you should investigate your own mother. See for yourself, if she has ever cheated. To you, this shouldn't be difficult at all," Karen remarked.

Slap!

Swoosh!

Within a moment, Nelson appeared in front of Karen, his eyes glaring at her fiercely.

He could kill her any moment at Adriana's order.

Regardless, Karen remained unnervingly calm. She barely blinked at his sudden movement.

She would never be surprised by something as trivial as this.

Adriana's face froze. She stared at Karen in disbelief, "Karen Lee, what did you just say?"

"Well, you said it yourself," Karen shrugged.

Betty was amused. True! If they could replace out the truth about anyone, how about Adriana's own mother? "Young Miss, do you want me to finish her now?" Nelson asked.

"Karen Lee, you are bold. How I wonder where that confidence of yours came from?" Adriana stood up from the sofa and walked towards Karen gracefully, as though a queen approaching her subjects. "You can look it up yourself. I've finished what I came here to say. My son isn't interested in you, so you should just give up now," Karen replied, shaking her head, "Also, your bodyguard has a really bad temper. You should keep him in check."

Bang!

All of a sudden, Nelson's fist was aimed directly at Karen's face.

The tension in the air grew heavy all of a sudden. Betty grew pale as she realized that his fist was coming for Karen.

However, Karen remained expressionless, even though his fist was mere millimeters away from her face.

Nelson frowned. How could she remain so calm in such a situation!

Was she not aware that one punch from him was enough to end her life? In addition, he was already burning with anger as of now. Even the top martial artists wouldn't be able to take more than three punches from him in his current state.

Something flashed through Adriana's gaze.

Karen remained indifferent and commented, "Your master didn't order you to do so. How dare you act on your own?" Nelson's arm twitched at her words.

Indeed, Adriana didn't order him to do so. He didn't dare to hit her since he could accidentally kill her.

"Betty, let's go," Karen said as she headed out of the room.

Betty followed suit, her heart still beating rapidly in fear.

Nelson shouted, "Hold on! Miss Adriana hasn't permitted you to leave yet."

"What an obedient dog. No wonder your master loves you so badly," Karen commented without looking back.

Nelson grew even angrier at her words.

A dog?

How dare this woman compare him to a dog?

He was really on the verge of losing control!

"Young Miss, she..." Nelson really wanted to beat her to death. Karen had insulted him nonstop ever since she set foot into the suite.

Adriana sat down and leaned back. She smirked, "Interesting, I haven't met someone like her in a long time. As a fellow woman, I admire her. Given that she's managed to make it this far in just 20 years, she's really not bad at all... Nelson, you are a good fighter in my family. Did you manage to gauge her strength?"

"Well, she is very calm, but according to her abilities, I could've beaten her to death with that one punch!" Nelson concluded confidently.

In such a short distance, Karen definitely would not have been able to dodge it.

Adriana agreed, "I think so too."

"Then, Miss Adriana, what should we do now?" Nelson asked.

"Just to make sure, did she really not cheat at all? Not even once? Was there a mistake somewhere?" Adriana inquired in disbelief.

"No, she hasn't," Nelson confirmed as he shook his head.

"Not bad at all. She must have something up her sleeve for her to act so boldly. Find out everything about her. I want to know every single detail about her life for the past twenty years!" Adriana ordered. "Yes... But what about Chuck Cannon?" Nelson added on. Investigating Karen Lee would be a simple task. With a little bit of time, he could replace out everything he wanted to easily.

"Chuck? As I said before, I will let him know what he has missed out on, so..." Adriana continued.

Nelson nodded....

"Sigh, President Lee, that woman really is detestable," Betty complained.

She had never seen a woman like her before. What a distasteful woman to go so far as to investigate matters such as cheating.

"Well, if you ever meet Nelson, do not fight with him one-on-one," Karen warned.

"Yeah, I also felt that he was very powerful. The speed and explosive force of his fist were very strong!" Betty remarked, still reeling from the fear a while ago.

If she were to be in Karen's shoes, she would have flinched. She wouldn't have been able to be as calm as Karen - she would've fought back!

"Yes, this man is indeed strong," Karen's eyes flashed.

Betty was curious, "Then, President Lee, can you take care of him?" After all, had been many years since she had seen Karen go all out on anyone.

She had never met anyone who was a real match for Karen, where she actually had to go all out.

Karen shook her head, "We wouldn't know until we fight each other. He's not someone to be taken lightly. If he's qualified to be hired as the bodyguard of Miss Adriana, he's extremely strong. Anyone who can be acknowledged by the Whitlock family is considered quite remarkable."

"I see. However, I do think that with President Lee's skills, you could've finished him in two moves in close combat," Betty commented.

Karen smiled at her words and explained, "Maybe. His strike was extremely strong, but there was a flaw in his moves. If I had struck him, he could've been finished off in one move."

Betty was surprised at Karen's words. Was it really true since even Karen herself admitted it?

"President Lee, just how strong are you?" Betty couldn't figure it out.

Karen chuckled, "If you work hard, you will eventually become strong. I usually carry things that are 100 kilograms on each hand. In addition, there's a chain on my leg which is also 100 kilograms... Next month, I will add 10 kilograms to each hand, and another 10 kilograms next year...

Betty was stunned at her words. She knew that Karen was strong, but she didn't know what her limit was. Just how strong was Karen Lee?
