My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 592

In the past few days, Elise had been daydreaming about her saviour's appearance.

Was he tall and handsome?

If so, why didn't he show himself?

Was it a selfless sacrifice on his part?

She couldn't be sure. The only thing she knew for certain was that he was definitely in the United States.

That was the one thing she had absolute certainty in.

With her limited knowledge on combat, she knew that only someone from the States could deal such deadly blows.

It would be difficult for anyone else to do so.

"Elise, you didn't even get a glimpse of him?" Sophia asked, smiling slightly.

Since this person had saved her daughter, she would compensate him to the best of her abilities.

A bit of money as a reward would entice anybody. As long as her daughter's saviour asked for it, she would gladly give it to him.

"No, not at all," Elise sighed in disappointment.

Why did it seem like her saviour had suddenly disappeared into thin air?

Didn't he want to at least meet the person he "Don't worry, they will replace him," Sophia reassured her. She felt that her daughter was acting a lot stranger than usual.

Did she somehow fall in love with this hero?

This wasn't an absurd conclusion to make.

"Mom, I think he must be from the United States," Elise spoke up eventually.

"Yes, I think so as well. His skills seem to indicate so. What do you plan to do after you replace him?" Sophia asked, smiling teasingly.

She already knew what her daughter was thinking.

"Mom..." Elise whined, turning a little shy.

They were on the same page.

In her moment of absolute desperation, someone had managed to rescue her despite everything.

This mysterious man had unwittingly given her a second chance in life.

He had pulled her out of despair, as though he was her guardian angel.

Elise loved the feeling of being rescued like that. It felt like she was the princess in a fairytale.

The reason why she wanted to replace this man now was to get together with him.

After all, women should be more brazen in their pursuit of love.

Her heart was set on pursuing him with all her might.

"Alright, I know what you're up to. Just know that I stand with you. You can do whatever you like," Sophia said as she caressed her daughter's head dotingly.

This saviour seemed to have a good moral standing. Her daughter would be in good hands.

Since her daughter had fallen in love with someone like that, she certainly wouldn't go against it.

After all, Elisewas a grown up. It was a bit disheartening that she never had a boyfriend before.

At this age, she should certainly have one.

"Thank you, mom!" Elise chimed happily.

She would definitely be happy if she ended up together with her saviour.

She would positively adore him.

"Oh, by the way, what happened to the man who kidnapped you?" asked Sophia.

She had to make sure this man was killed at all costs. How dare he take her daughter to such a dangerous place and endanger her life? Elise would've been dead if it weren't for her saviour. She wanted to see the offender in pieces.

"He escaped! God, I really want him dead," Elise yelled, furious.

This was all his fault!

She had been endangered too long and suffered so much!

"Leave that to me. This person, his name is Chuck Cannon, right?" Sophia asked. "Yes, he's a horrible person," Elise replied, her tone filled with disgust.

When she was in the Amazon, she recalled that Chuck had slapped her several times.

She felt a deep regret.

She should have never given Chuck a chance. She should have killed and buried him somewhere after knocking him out.

It would've saved her so much trouble if she had done that.

"Elise, don't worry," Sophia murmured in consolation, her gaze sharp with killing intent.

"You know, I heard that Karen Lee's son was caught. Was it you?" Elise asked out of boredom.

She was pretty frustrated with the entire situation.

She really wanted to meet that person who had saved her.

"Of course not! Why would I want to capture her son?" Sophia asked, shaking her head. She did not have the slightest interest in that.

"Well, who did it then? The Oatker family? I heard that Karen asked someone to kill a member of the family, so the Oatker family caught Karen's son for revenge! Now that's just karma!" Elise laughed. In the eyes of the Four Greatest Households, other people that weren't considered one of them were not worth mentioning at all, let alone someone who was driven out by the Lee family like Karen. However, it was a bit unsettling to know that Karen, probably by sheer dumb luck, had managed to succeed in attacking the Lee family.

"Well, I'm not sure what's going on with that son of hers. He might have already been killed by someone in the Oatker family. Who knows?" Sophia deduced.

Karen had been relatively silent recently. Perhaps she was mourning the death of her son.

"He can die for all I care," Elise stated carelessly.

"Do you want to take a walk outside to get your mind off things?" Sophia asked her daughter with a slight smile.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood. I think I've fallen in love with the person who saved me," Elise pouted unhappily.

"Hmm. What if he's not a looker?"

"I don't care, I'll still like him," Elise said firmly.

"Alright then, I promise I won't interfere. Come on, let's go out for a walk. I think there's an event that'd be perfect for us," Sophia said.

"Okay," Elise answered, starting to stand up.

"Go get changed," Sophia suggested and called for someone to bring her some clothes.

In the meantime, Elise allowed her gaze to wander upon her mother's well-maintained figure. She was positively charmed.

Her mother was nothing short of gorgeous.

She couldn't believe that she had stayed alone ever since the divorce.

"What are you looking at?" Her mother turned to her eventually, questioning her gaze. "Mom, let me tell you some of the things that b*stard Chuck said..." Elise began but stopped herself midway. She couldn't go on.

After all, Chuck had said that he had wanted to do her mother.

It was both embarrassing and angering to hear. She didn't want to spoil her mother's good mood.

"What did he say?" Sophia asked with a charming smile.

What was her daughter trying to tell her?

"Forget it, it's nothing, Mom. Come on, let's go out. I'm getting bored of here," Elise changed the topic.

She then went ahead and changed her clothes.

When the both of them were ready, they made their way out. Bodyguards surrounded them to ensure their safety.

When they arrived at the venue of the banquet, the scene was breathtakingly beautiful. Twinkling lights of different colours and well-dressed individuals could be seen wandering the halls.

Sophia had taken Elise to a party.

After all, the Lawrence family was one of the Four Greatest Flouseholds. At such a banquet, they would undoubtedly attract the attention of others. Flowever, many ordinary people did not dare approach them because they deemed themselves unworthy.

"Elise," A man came over, his gait elegant.

Elise knew him. Fie was her classmate, Ronald, from a second-rated family in the United States who had pursued her before.

He was a pretty handsome fellow.

"What is it?" Elise asked indifferently.

"Elise, why haven't I seen you around? Where have you been?" Ronald asked with concern.

After having not seen each other for so long, Ronald almost forgot how pretty she was.

"It's none of your business. Look, you can stop courting me now. I already have someone in mind," Elise said coldly, getting straight to the point.

She had fallen in love with the man who saved her. She was determined to be with him. As for other men, they'd better stay away from her. "You do? Who is it?" Ronald asked, stunned.

"He's a hero," Elise gushed. Adoration filled her gaze as she thought about him.

Did her saviour not meet up with her on purpose?

Maybe he wanted to make her long for him before he showed himself.

That had to be it. He was definitely planning to surprise her sooner or later.

"A hero?" Ronald was still surprised. Someone had been deemed a hero by one of the Four Greatest Households. Who was it?

"That's right, so you should stay away from me," Elise said and promptly left to replace Sophia.

Ronald stood rooted to the ground, still pondering about who this 'hero' could be.

"Mom, what's up?" Elise asked right as she saw her mother's cold expression.

It looked like she had received some bad news.

What was going on.

"A base was set on fire," Sophia explained, her expression grim. She was quite surprised. She had received a call just now that informed her that the reason for the fire was still unknown.

The security at the base was top notch. It would be impossible for just anyone to penetrate its defences, let alone cause a fire.

This was just plain odd.

"A fire? Could it be a mechanical malfunction?" Elise immediately deduced. Such malfunctions were inevitable, so it should be normal, right?
