My Billionaire Mom -
Chapter 629
Alexandrina grew angry at her relatives' jeers. She had brought Chuck here to shut her relatives up. However, she did not expect her mother to add in and join as they insulted Chuck together. She was very displeased and felt sorry for Chuck.
"I'm living off my parents for the time being, but I have my own goals," Chuck explained calmly.
After he found Willa, Chuck would expand his business and make himself the richest man in the world.
"Goals? What goals do you have?" Miranda laughed at him. This was what she wanted to see all along. It was only when Alexandrina saw her boyfriend being ridiculed by her relatives that would she realize her mistake of choosing to be with him. How could she have found someone like him?
Chuck shook his head, "Let's not talk about that now."
Alexandrina turned to look at him. What goals did he have?
Of course, she knew about Karen's abilities. With Karen's current wealth, it was enough for Chuck to spend for a dozen lifetimes.
If his mother was rich, then he could live off of her for a long time.
"Are you embarrassed to tell me your goals? You must be looking to become a disappointment to your family. Tell me, who else is in your family? Let's see just how long you can live off of them for," One of the relatives mocked.
The Middleton family was extremely wealthy, and even the poorest amongst them had at least several million dollars worth of assets. To them, Chuck was probably from a poor family.
His family might have tens of millions of dollars. How long would that last him?
"From his appearance, he's not from a rich and powerful family. He doesn't have the elegance from a wealthy family at all. What a joke," Another man sneered.
"You're asking too many questions. What does Chuck's family have to do with all of you?" Alexandrina spoke out, unwilling to let them continue.
This was not acceptable. Only she could judge him, no one else could!
"Alexandrina, we're just asking him out of curiosity. Since he said he lives off his parents, he should be rich, right?" Someone laughed.
"That's right. If he is rich, why not allow us to witness it? We'd like to see just how rich he is."
Several other of her relatives burst out laughing. Of course, the smiles on their faces were filled with jest and mockery.
Just how could someone like Chuck be considered rich? There were probably tons of other guys like him in other families.
"You guys..." Alexandrina's gaze turned cold. Usually, she would restrain herself whenever she returned home. She had never revealed that she was the leader of an assassins' organization. Today, these people were forcing her to show her hand.
"Don't worry, Alexandrina. They are your family," Chuck patted Alexandrina's hand and shrugged.
Alexandrina was startled. Wasn't Chuck angry at all?
Sure enough, Chuck thought that there was nothing to be angry about. All of them were Alexandrina's family members, and Chuck was reluctant to do anything to them.
It was not necessary.
"Chuck, are you upset? I'll give you some money and a hug when we get back, all right?" Alexandrina said.
She was sincere. After all, she could see that Chuck was being thoughtful for her sake.
If Karen's name was said out loud, her whole family would be shocked.
At the very least, Karen had an entire business empire here. As the boss of the assassins' organization, she certainly knew that some people in her family had worked together with Karen before, and they had all earned a sizable profit from that.
For this reason, everyone would be especially shocked when they figured out Karen was Chuck's mother.
Chuck smiled and agreed to her proposal, "Okay." "Why don't you continue? Are you embarrassed?" Miranda was very aggressive.
The rest of the relatives urged him on.
They wanted to see how "rich" Chuck was.
"It's not that I'm embarrassed, I just don't have to say it. To put it bluntly, I can live off my family's wealth for another few generations," Chuck shook his head and replied with a calm expression. "What? A few generations? Haha, are you kidding me?" Someone immediately burst out laughing.
Miranda sneered, "Yeah, that's only possible if you only spend a dollar a day. If that was the case, you would never use up your money. According to your logic, I could rely on my fortune for a million years, right?"
"Yeah, how dishonest. How can you say something like that? How insolent! It's no wonder he doesn't dare to tell us. He's afraid of embarrassing himself!"
Jeers and mocks filled the table continuously. All of them were aimed solely at Chuck.
However, they had gone too far. How dare they joke about Chuck's family?
Chuck's expression fell. It was fine if someone laughed at him, but if it involved his family or his mother, it was definitely not acceptable!
Seeing that Chuck was furious, Alexandrina didn't plan to stop him. After all, Chuck had his limits, and she wouldn't want to allow him to be continuously bullied and looked down upon.
"Sorry, what did you say just now?" Chuck stared at the man.
"Oh? Do you want to hit me for that? How rude of you to get angry over a few words or the truth," The man continued sneering snarkily.
The man, George, was tall and bulky. How would he ever be afraid of Chuck?
"Alexandrina, look at your boyfriend. What's going on? Is he trying to pick a fight?" Miranda shouted out.
"Exactly! What does he have to be angry about? It's obviously all his fault."
Others echoed Miranda's words and felt provoked.
Alexandrina remained silent as she sat beside Chuck, acting like a proper lady for the first time in her life.
She thought to herself that everything was fine.
"What, do you all think that you're very rich? Are you looking down on me because you think you're wealthier than I am?" Chuck questioned.
"Of course! Your silence has spoken for itself, and you even said yourself that you're leeching off your parents. But what's there to leech off from? You're so poor! In addition, you even had the guts to say that you could probably live off their wealth for several centuries? Who gave you the confidence to say that?" Miranda snickered.
How ridiculous!
She felt humiliated. How could her daughter replace such a partner?
Was he the last man standing on Earth?
Chuck looked over at Miranda calmly and replied, "I respect you, so stop whatever you're saying now, and I'll pretend they never happened."
"Why should I stop? I'm telling you, you don't deserve my daughter. You are not a match for her at all!" Miranda was extremely furious. She was frowning, her brows knitted together in anger.
"In that case, then what kind of man do you think is worthy of your daughter?" Chuck replied.
"Hmph, whoever it is, it won't be you! How dare you act all high and mighty here when you're actually poor!"
"I'm not pretending. I'm really living off my parents, and I can continue to do so for several centuries to come..." Chuck repeated himself.
"Shut up. What are you pretending for? Who allowed you to be so bold?" Miranda exclaimed in exasperation.
"I'll take that as a sign of distrust, then?" Chuck asked.
"Why should I trust you? You really make me sick!"
"If I prove it to you, then am I qualified to be with Alexandria?" Chuck looked at her as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, but do you have the ability to prove it?" Miranda stared at Chuck, disbelief and mockery were written all over her face.
The expressions of all Alexandrina's relatives were full of scorn. How could Chuck possibly prove to them anything?
"Wait a minute then," Chuck took out his phone.
"Hmph, don't waste my time. Today is our family gathering. An outsider like you should get out of my house right now. Don't pester my daughter from now on!" Miranda stated coldly. She was infuriated after seeing her daughter being defiled by such a useless piece of trash.
"Yeah! Why is he still here? Is he calling the police?"
"Haha, that's possible, but we didn't do anything. What's the point of calling the police? I think he just wants to stay here. He's really shameless!"
Their words that were filled with ridicule and disdain rang throughout the hall.
Chuck ignored them. After a few rings, Karen picked up the phone and asked, "Chucky, what's wrong?"
"Mom, I want you to do me a favor now," Chuck said.
"Oh my goodness, who are you calling? Are you pretending to be a rich brat? I've never seen such a person before. Hurry, Alexandrina, ask him to scram!"
Several people tried to convince Alexandrina but she ignored them. Therefore, the relatives started shouting at Chuck, "Stop wasting our time. Get out of here!"
"Did you hear that? My patience is limited! You've already made me very sick!" Miranda was so angry that she regretted not kicking him out in the first place. How could she have let him stay here for such a long time?
