My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 659

"We're at Ingrid Hotel. It belongs to us. I'm coming to pick you up now," The voice on the other end of the phone sounded surprised. "No need, I'll go over myself. Also, this is your hotel, not mine. Don't say that it's ours," Chuck hung up the phone indifferently.

He drove to the hotel. Black Rose followed behind him with vigilance.

She kept wondering where Chuck was heading.

While she was driving, she couldn't help but feel slightly hungry. She was suddenly reminded of that delicious cake that Chuck had brought her previously. When would she be able to taste that again? However, soon, she discarded that thought of hers. She couldn't depend on Chuck since he was just a big, fat liar.

Meanwhile, at Ingrid Hotel.

The Lee family had already sat down and were waiting for Chuck. Brayden didn't come, and Elijah didn't allow him to appear either. They didn't want him to ruin the meeting.

"Chuck has agreed to come," The person who had just called Chuck exclaimed.

"Great! He's finally agreed to come! And I thought it was Karen who stopped him from coming to meet us!"

"I thought so too. I was scared to death."

They were still reeling from their previous fearful encounter with Karen.

"Go pick him up! What are you waiting for?"

"Chuck said that he's driving here. I can hear from his tone that he still doesn't trust us. We were really too strict with Karen previously so that now she... Alas, she's still our sister after all." A man with grey hair could only heave in regret.

Everyone fell silent.

"It's all right now. When Chuck arrives, we can have a good talk," Someone tried to cheer everyone up.

"Yep! Well be nice to him!"

"No matter what, I'm still his uncle. He still has to respect me, doesn't he?"

Several members of the Lee family were in agreement, but Elijah was a bit nervous. After all, Chuck was his grandson, but he had never cared about him.

At the same time, on another floor at the same hotel.

Sophia was here alone.

Someone from the Oatker family had invited her to meet with them. At this crucial moment, she wouldn't want to step into the Oatkers' territory. Hence, she suggested meeting them here, at the Lee family's hotel.

In fact, Sophia was here to break off her cooperation with the Oatker family. In her opinion, Karen was absolutely infuriated this time.

Judging from Karen's actions for the past few days, she had been giving it her all to decimate the Oatker family for good. It wasn't a trifling matter to be messed around with.

Sophia was also smart. Indeed, she was astonished at Karen's ability and sheer strength to go against the Oatker family. In the long run, she could already see the Oatker family done for.

Karen was almost guaranteed to destroy the Oatker family in the near future.

This was truly terrifying!!

Therefore, Sophia wanted to cut off all contact with the Oatker family. However, it was true that she had been hesitating to do so. After all, she was friends with some Oatker. As much as she refused to come, she eventually decided to meet them here.

With that, she went in.

In a private room, a beautiful woman and a man were staring at each other. Both their expressions were angry and vicious.

"I didn't expect Karen to be so powerful!" Celia Oatker grumbled.

"Yes, that's why we need to rely on Sophia. Well join forces to go against Karen Lee."

Thinking of this, Celia was worried, "I hope Sophia won't blame me for what I'm about to do."

"Blame you? Why are you still hesitating? You're the one who called her over. Now that everything is set in place, why are you still hesitating now?" Celia's brother, Bruce Oatker, hissed.

"I... After all, she is my friend. I... Alas!" Celia could only sigh now.

"What are you sighing for?" Bruce was mad.

Celia stared at her brother and exposed his thoughts, "Bruce, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You have been interested in Sophia for a long time, so you suggested to father to do this, right?"

"Celia, what are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, Bruce hemmed and hawed.

"I already found out that you had a crush on Sophia since last year. You were basically drooling when you saw her from afar. That's why you're suggesting to drug her and use that to blackmail her into helping us!" Celia was furious.

"So what? Who doesn't like beautiful women? In addition, she is the head of the Lawrence family, holding both power and status! Men like us love to conquer such women. Besides, she has the looks too," Afte being exposed, Bruce decided not to mask his thoughts and intentions anymore.

Celia was pissed, but she had no other choice. Karen's forces were just too great, and the Oatker family had been caught completely off guard. Now, they had to reel in support to help them, and the Lawrence family was their best choice.

"Celia, I am doing this for the sake of the family," Bruce tried to appeal to his sister.

"I know what you're thinking of, so stop pretending!" Celia snorted coldly.

"Fine, I'll stop pretending. I'll offer her a drink later, but it's guaranteed that she's not going to drink it. I've already spiked the drinks so since you're here... Celia, why are you so repulsed by this idea? See, Sophia is your friend, but I'm your brother! I want Sophia, so as a sister, shouldn't you be siding with me?" Bruce snickered.

"Why should I help you?!" Celia roared. Soon, she sighed, "How many times have I helped you already? You'd better not harm her later!"

"I know. Sophia is so beautiful, so why would I harm her?"

"Don't think that I'm unaware of your weird, perverted kinks!" Celia scoffed.

Hearing this, Bruce was embarrassed and quickly ended the topic, "Got it."

Knock!

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Celia, get the door. She's here," Bruce could not wait to see Sophia.

This time, he had to drug Sophia and blackmail her into joining forces against Karen.

She would receive benefits too. Once Karen was gone, the Lawrence family would profit from that!

"Wipe your mouth, your saliva is leaking out," Celia snorted and went to open the door.

Soon, Sophia strutted in. Bruce was stunned.

As one of the members of the Four Greatest Households in Seldeval City, he didn't really lack female companions. He had already seen so many beauties of all kinds.

He was sure he'd already had a taste of almost all different types of women.

However, there were still some who were out of his league. For instance, Sophia Lawrence, who was both more powerful and influential than him.

It was common for men to be hooked up on women they couldn't have, and this was the same for Bruce.

In fact, it didn't really matter whether these women were pretty or ugly; single or married. Men would try all means to approach them just to satisfy their own desires.

In short, men enjoyed conquering women who were more powerful than them.

In addition, Sophia was pretty and courteous, proof of her good upbringing.

Sophia looked at her friend. Of course, she didn't look at her friend's younger brother.

She also knew that right now, the Oatker family was intending to draw her over to their side.

She would not fall for their tricks.

"Sophia, I..." Celia smiled at her.

"I know. I'm here to talk to you about it. Don't contact me anymore from here onwards. Karen is not an easy person to deal with," Sophia was serious.

There was no need to beat around the bush.

Celia was irritated. Did Sophia just reject her outright? Fine then, don't blame her for what was coming next!

"Well, I... Fine. Since you've already made it clear, I know that I am unable to force you anymore. We're still sisters, so cheers!" Celia poured a glass of wine for Sophia.

Sophia could not bear to just leave. After all, they had known each other for quite some time, and they had always been good friends.

However, the Oatker family was already in such a predicament. She came here not as an individual, but as the representative of her family. She had no choice but to set aside her relationship with Celia for the sake of the Lawrence family.

"Sophia, we've known each other for so long, but now, you don't even want to drink with me now?" Celia sighed and downed her glass.

Bruce couldn't wait. Come on Sophia, drink up!

Sophia remained silent for a few seconds. Then, she picked up the glass of wine and drank it. She put down the glass and said to Celia, "I'm going back. If you want to stay alive, then go to my house. I will save your life, and only yours alone."

This was the most Sophia could do for her friend now.

"There's no need to," Celia sneered.

"Alright then, goodbye," Sophia turned around and left. However, Bruce was already waiting at the door.

Sophia frowned, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to force me to attack you?"

At the same time, she reached for the gun in her back.

They had to be joking. As an arms dealer in the United States, she had the best weapons at her perusal. She was also extremely quick in using them!

"Sophia, do you know? I've liked you for a long time," Bruce smiled sinisterly as he approached her.

"I don't want to hear such trash. Get out!" Sophia wanted to take out her gun, but she suddenly felt dizzy. She was stunned and could only stammer, "That glass of wine..."

"Oh, I don't think you have a choice now! You'll have to help the Oatker family against Karen, do you understand? When we're together, you'll surely believe what I say!" Bruce cackled maniacally.
