My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 723

Sabina kept pacing up and down.

She heard the news from Adriana. She hadn't expected Adriana to ask her to force Chuck into submission.

Pairing this up with her grandfather's orders, Sabina was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Brooke wanted to see Chuck and Karen's heads before he died! Sabina was torn.

On one hand was a man who truly understood her; on the other, her grandfather's dying wish.

Which should she choose?

But she had already called Chuck and asked him to meet her here.

And Chuck agreed.

Sabina had her weapons ready, and she knew exactly what she was going to do later.

She would wait until Chuck showed up as promised.

"Chuck, she asked to meet out of the blue. Do you trust her?" Black Rose asked Chuck coldly.

It was already late at night. Chuck gave Willa and Yvette a simple excuse before sneaking out.

Fortunately, Black Rose noticed that he had slipped out.

"Maybe?" Chuck sighed, not knowing why. After all, he had only known her for a short time, but he really trusted her.

He wondered why.

Perhaps it was because he really understood her.

"Really? I think she's trying to kill you. You have to trust me. Are you really going to trust her and not me?" Black Rose questioned.

The air was heavy with rage.

"I trust you too!"

"Don't go if you trust me!" Black Rose yelled angrily.

"But... She asked me out. If you had asked me out, I would have gone to see you as well." Chuck's face was calm.

"I won't!" Black Rose shook her head decisively.

Was he kidding?

Why would she ask him out?

"You won't protect me forever. Didn't you say that you'd leave as soon as I become as strong as you?"

Hearing this, Black Rose was stunned.

Was Chuck really that much weaker than Black Rose?

In terms of combat skills, Chuck felt that his skills were as good as Black Rose's. Karen's teaching had helped him reach a speed that ordinary people could not catch up to!

One had to admit that talent was important and that it could be used to surpass most people. The training was also an important factor. But in Karen's experience, there was something even more important than training and talent!

And it was mentality!

Chuck was much weaker compared to Black Rose due to the different in their mentality.

Black Rose was calm and decisive. Sometimes, Chuck couldn't even reach her level of composure and collectedness.

Black Rose kept silent for few seconds. Her voice was as cold as ice when she said, "Yes, you're right. I can leave you soon."

Suddenly, she felt a sense of loss.

She had given years of her life to protect Chuck 24/7. In the end, these were the only parting words she got?

"So, you will definitely call me and ask me out in the future," Chuck stated.

"No, I will never ask you out! And I will never call you."

Black Rose said this as if their relationship had ended, and that there was no connection between them at all. She remained resolute. "You're so heartless, yet you still want me to call you!" She thought to herself.

Never!

She had never been the type of person to reach out to others, so why would she contact Chuck? It simply wasn't possible! "Well... fine then!" Chuck nodded.

He thought that if Black Rose did not contact him, he would be the one to reach out to her first.

Since Black Rose had protected him for so long, Chuck never regarded her as a bodyguard. Instead, he saw her as a friend.

Therefore, Chuck would reach out to her. It was normal for friends to keep in touch.

Moreover, it was a small world. They would eventually see each other again, even if they ran in different social circles, or had lost contact with one another.

"I don't care about what happens to you in the future, but you must listen to me right now!" Black Rose was tough.

He muttered that he was fine with that.

Hearing that, Black Rose felt her heart crumble.

"I'll listen to you in the future," Chuck said.

"No, I've said that I don't care what happens to you in the future." She was pissed.

Her voice was cold and harsh.

"Alright, Rosie," Chuck said with a smile.

"Go to hell! Who said you could call me that? Who is Rosie?" Black Rose stretched her leg out to kick Chuck. She was furious. Although she was older than Chuck, she wasn't used to it.

Chuck fell and rolled on the ground.

Black Rose snorted, "Stop pretending! Get up!"

Chuck got up awkwardly and rubbed his stomach. Black Rose's kick hurt a little, but not a lot. It was nothing Chuck couldn't bear.

After all, Black Rose didn't even use much strength in that kick.

"I'm going," Chuck was already at the meeting location.

He could almost see Sabina. She was waiting over there.

"I'm telling you, you have to be vigilant! You have to be on guard about everyone and everything!"

"Everyone? What about my mom?"

"Really? Must you act like a child right now?" Black Rose wanted to kick Chuck again.

"What about you? Do you want me to be vigilant of you too?" Chuck grinned.

"Do what you want. You can point a gun at me too if you like!" She snorted.

"Would you do that to me too?" Chuck asked with a smirk again.

"Sure, I don't mind pointing a gun at you." Black Rose said, her voice tinged with layer after layer of annoyance.

Why should she be vigilant of him?

If she had been suspicious about him, he would have been long dead by now!

Black Rose was extremely irritated by Chuck.

Chuck was speechless. Was this necessary? He didn't even do anything!

"Well, aren't you going?" She asked.

Chuck had seen Sabina, so he nodded and replied, "Okay, wait for me here."

"I won't! Why would I wait for you?" Black Rose snorted.

Chuck smiled as he made his way over to Sabina.

In an instant, Black Rose's senses kicked in. She went into full-alert mode as she took out a sniper rifle and aimed it at Chuck, who was running towards Sabina. Her gun slowly pointed towards Sabina!

Sabina looked up and met her gaze. They stared at each other through the telescope.

The atmosphere was tense.

Sabina didn't move at all as she faced the gun pointing at her.

"If you try to pull anything, I'll shoot you to death!" Black Rose warned coldly.

She didn't care about anything else. If someone threatened Chuck's safety, she would pull the trigger without hesitation!

"Why did you ask to meet?" Chuck asked.

He could feel the frigidity in Sabina's heart, as if she was dealing with a stranger.

Sabina was different from the last time they met.

Karen had let her off before, but they were still friends the last time they were together. This time, Sabina showed no signs of friendliness and was instead, cold and distant. "My grandfather doesn't have long," she stated coldly.

"I know." Chuck knew. Karen had told him how potent that drug was. Brooke was old, so he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. This was normal.

"His dying wish is for me to bring you and Karen's head to him!" Sabina let the ruthless words roll off her tongue.
