My Billionaire Mom

The room was pin-drop silent for a few seconds. Chuck Cannon wanted to explain to end the awkward atmosphere, but Yvette Jordan sighed and said, "You guys enjoy yourself. I'm going back..." She felt depressed. Zelda Maine was living here, and she had just gotten home. What was the point for her to continue staying here?

While she was walking out, Chuck chased after her anxiously. Zelda, who was standing at the door, shook her head and smiled bitterly after a moment of silence.

"Did I come at the wrong time? But I didn't mean it, I came to help you, but..." Zelda thought to herself sadly.

Zelda felt empty. As soon as Yvette left, Chuck chased after her just like the time when he was in the parking lot...

"Yvette, this house..." Chuck followed her out. However, Yvette had already pressed the elevator button and the elevator was slowly coming up.

"Stop. Go in and have a good chat with her. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go back," Yvette said. There was no hint of blame, but only disappointment in her tone. Chuck said helplessly, "Yvette."

"Go back, I'll go down by myself. I'm going to Central City tomorrow..." said Yvette.

Yvette said that the people who she called this afternoon were as famous as Darrel Mate.

One of them was Yvette's classmate, an employee of a training company whom she saw in the college group chat. This classmate invited Yvette to her company in Central City so that they could exchange ideas.

She was hesitant at first, but today... just now... she didn't know why but she felt like she wanted to go for a trip suddenly.

"You are going to Central City?" Chuck was surprised. Why would she go to Central City?

"Yes, I want to make money!" Yvette said.

Was it for the company? It should be. Chuck was in Yvette's company for the whole afternoon and he saw that Yvette was always on the phone. She was really diligent.

"If you want money, I can give it to you. How much do you need?" Chuck asked.

"I don't want your money, don't..."

Yvette shook her head while feeling a little touched, but... she did not speak what was on her mind: "Your money is from Zelda. I don't want it..."

"It's my money," Chuck emphasized that, as he thought Yvette misunderstood him again.

Yvette was moved. Did he plan to give her the money he earned from his part-time job?

"Save the money. Don't waste it." thought Yvette.

"I don't want it either. Keep it for yourself." Yvette shook her head.

Chuck did not know what to do anymore.

"I will come back after three days. You should study hard these days because your exam is coming soon." Yvette became serious speaking of this.

Chuck nodded but said with a sad smile, "I may not be able to pass."

His grades had not been good since the beginning, and now it was useless for him to study in such a short period of time.

"This was your own fault." Yvette was angry at the mention of this matter. How many times did Chuck skip class during this period? Was he with Zelda the whole time? Spending time with her instead of going to school?

The elevator door opened and Yvette walked in. Chuck also wanted to go in but Yvette shook her head and said, "It's okay, you can go back. I can go back by myself. I didn't even drink alcohol. Remember, you must pass the test!"

The elevator door closed, and Yvette went downstairs. After she left the community, she sat in the car, sighed...

"Did I miss something?" she thought.

Yvette suddenly felt that the person who belonged to her for more than ten years had become someone else's. Although they did nothing special, they had still slept together on the same bed for so many years...

After all, Chuck used to call her his wife, but, but...

Yvette was conflicted and helpless. Her gaze became firm. "I want to make money! I'll become as rich as Zelda!"

When Chuck returned to his house, Zelda coincidentally came out from Chuck's house. Their eyes met and Chuck was embarrassed.

"Do you want to do it now?" Zelda asked.

Chuck, of course, understood what she meant. Zelda had said during the day that she would help him in the evening. Chuck did not forget just because he was embarrassed at the moment. Before he met Yvette, he really wanted to do it, but now he was in no mood to do it.

"Let's do it next time," said Chuck. As he had expected, he saw a flicker of disappointment in Zelda's eyes.

"Mmm." Zelda sighed in her heart as she returned to her own house.

She leaned against the door and thought, if Chuck and Yvette got back together, there might be no chance for her to help him in the future...

Yvette would do it instead...

Chuck was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He wondered if he should go to Central City as well. Since Yvette would be there, he would have the chance to be alone with her. Chuck took out his mobile phone and called Betty.

The phone was picked up.

"Betty, Yvette is going to Central City tomorrow. Could you help me keep an eye on her whereabouts..."

"Okay, Young Master, don't worry. I will pay attention to it. Young Master, do you need a first-class ticket to Central City tomorrow?" Betty asked.

Chuck hesitated and couldn't make up his mind. "Let's talk about it tomorrow," he replied. He was not sure if he should go. If he went, would Yvette be surprised?

Chuck went to school early in the morning. As expected, he was told that Yvette had asked for a two days' leave. She really went to Central City for the company.

Without Yvette, Chuck was not in the mood to attend classes. He went back to the plaza to discuss matters of the building with Yolanda Lane until late afternoon. Yolanda asked if Zelda would visit the shop as the person had a change of mind. Chuck could only send a message to Zelda and asked her to come over to have a look.

After a while, Zelda replied that she would come over within these few days.

He could hear that Zelda's voice had changed. He assumed that she had caught a cold. Chuck hesitated if he should visit her tonight. However, after considering thoroughly he decided not to. Because he didn't know how to deal with the relationship between Zelda and him.

Chuck was ready to go back. He pressed the elevator button, but he went to the wrong floor. When the elevator door opened on the first floor, Chuck could only press the button to the basement. At this time, Lara Jean came in unexpectedly and saw Chuck pressing the button to the parking lot.

Lara was not happy to see Chuck. She really wanted to hit Chuck because Baller ignored her.

"You don't even have a car, why did you press the button for the basement? Are you doing it on purpose?" Lara said in a mocking tone as she found it hilarious!

Chuck glanced at her and didn't bother to answer her.

After they reached the basement, they went out directly. Lara disdained him," Stop pretending, I know you don't have a car. You'll still need to come back like a dog and take the elevator back up."

Lara pressed the third-floor angrily as she was supposed to go to see Yolanda. Watching Chuck go out, she went inside the elevator again. She didn't believe that Chuck had a car or even a driver's license, but...

She realized that something was wrong with her cousin yesterday. She seemed to be thinking about someone. Lara was surprised and thought whether her cousin, Charlotte Yates, really liked Chuck. She could not understand.

She hesitated and rushed out, only to hear the sound of a car roaring out, and Chuck was gone. Lara was shocked. Where did this guy go? Did he really have a car? Impossible, how could he have a car? Lara scoffed arrogantly and thought, " Chuck must have borrowed Yolanda's car. This guy is so useless!"

After that, Lara could only take the elevator and go up to Yolanda's office.

"What's the matter?" asked Yolanda as she put down the work in her hand.

"What on earth do you like about Chuck?" Lara asked curiously.

Yolanda was speechless. She had no feelings for Chuck. It was purely a relationship between a boss and a staff. She said that she liked Chuck only to help him out the last time.

When she thought about it carefully, she didn't have feelings for Chuck, and Chuck was just her boss.

"You don't have to worry about that. Just tell me what's on your mind," said Yolanda.

Lara asked, "I just saw Chuck going to the parking lot. Did he take your car out to brag?"

"Why do you say so?" Yolanda frowned.

"So I was right. He really took your car? Be careful. That loser has never driven a car before. He may break your car or he might not even fill up the petrol to your car when he comes back," Lara said. "How dare he ignore me in the elevator just now? Seriously, wouldn't he just look down upon everyone if he actually had a car?" Lara thought to herself.

"You don't have to worry about it." Yolanda didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Lara uttered a light snort.

When Chuck came out from the parking lot, what he didn't notice was that someone happened to see him drive his car out. The man was immediately shocked...
