My Billionaire Mom (Chuck Cannon) novel Chapter 581

"I didn't expect you to save her," Adriana expressed her surprise once they were safe in the forest.

After all, Chuck had run away immediately.

He remained expressionless at her words.

He didn't want to save her, but he was the one who brought Elise into it after all. If she was to be taken advantage of, she would definitely be in misery. Chuck didn't want to bring this kind of misfortune onto her.

Chuck was determined to have her stay alive so she could witness with her own eyes as he fulfilled what he said previously!

He had brought along with him a piece of rock as a weapon into that place, and the three men were all much too aroused to notice what was going on. Who would have thought that someone would sneak an attack under those circumstances?

He ended up knocking out the three of them with only three shots.

One of them was probably even dead.

After all, it was a direct hit to the back of his head with a sharp rock.

Chuck came out of there after knocking the three guys out. The rest would be up to Elise herself. However, Elise was in despair right at that moment. Her legs must have brought her away swiftly, so she was most likely safe. "What's your relationship with her?" Adriana was curious.

"I'm here because of her."

"Then why did you save her?" Adriana was stunned.

"Because... I said something to her, and I have to fulfil my words," Chuck narrowed his eyes sharply, like a lion locking onto its prey.

"What did you say?"

Without another word, Chuck ran to the river with Adriana in his hands and carried her onto a large, empty boat. In the midst of hurrying, he tripped over his own feet.

This took Adriana by surprise.

Yet, Chuck acted as if nothing had happened and rowed the boat.

Adriana closed her eyes and pretended she didn't see that.

Chuck rowed down the river at an astounding speed. He was positive that they would definitely come across a village if they followed the current.

By then, all dangers would be gone.

Chuck rowed the boat with all his might, the intent to leave this place being his motivation.

"Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow!"

Bullets flew around mercilessly, howls arising from the small indigenous village. Everyone had been killed.

It was the work of the mercenary troop under Elise's mother. In a helicopter, Elise watched everything emotionlessly. She almost lost something precious here!

"Ah, ah..."

One of the three men in the room just now was one-shotted by Chuck. Currently, the other two were begging for their lives at gunpoint, their heads covered in blood.

"Kill them!" Elise ordered coldly. She hated these two people!

"Order received!"

The mercenary pulled the trigger!

"Bang! Bang!"

Instantaneously, the two men were shot to death, and deadly silence filled the scene.

"Young Miss, we are unable to find that person!" A mercenary bowed his head and reported.

"What?!" Elise was furious!

"I can't believe Chuck isn't here! Did he run away?"

"This Chuck person must have escaped when you gave him an opening upon escaping just now! In fact, you must've saved this person by accident, Young Miss."

"Is that so?" Elise's voice was ice-cold.

For her, these recent days were something that she would never forget for the rest of her life. The person who made her encounter this was none other Chuck!

Yet, she herself gave him the chance to escape?! Elise felt extreme fury seeping through her entire being.

"It has to be true!"

"Well, find him and bring him back alive," She would return his favor by allowing him a taste of true despair.

"Yes!" Some mercenaries began to search the premises.

"Hold on," Elise instructed.

"Miss, what else do you need?" Several mercenaries all lowered their heads, as Elise was the daughter of the Lawrence family!

How dare Chuck enrage someone like her?!

Did he not value his life?

"Help me find someone."

"Please describe that person."

"I don't know. When I was surrounded by three people, a man suddenly rushed in and knocked them out. When I opened my eyes, he ran away and I couldn't see him," Elise stated tenderly.

If it weren't for this man, she would have been humiliated and possibly dead.

She wanted to find this man and repay him for his actions.

It was because of this person that she could survive!

All the mercenaries looked at each other in dismay. How... could they find him?

"Will that be fine with you?"

"Yeah, I'm hungry too. Let's find a place to eat, and my men will find me."

Since that was the case, Chuck went into the first restaurant that he found. Unfortunately, he wasn't allowed in, as the owner saw him draped in rags.

Chuck was tired and hungry. With no other available options, he had to steal clothes from someone's house for the both of them to change. Otherwise, people would think that he was a beggar wherever he went.

He swiftly stole clothes for both himself and Adriana, soon changing into them. It was certainly not convenient for her to change, so Chuck put her down in a quiet place, turned around, and went somewhere further so she had some privacy.

Adriana was astonished. She chuckled, "Interesting. It's human nature to be lustful. But if you can control it, you may go far in life."

She began to change her clothes.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" All of a sudden, a loud beeping could be heard from somewhere on Adriana's body. She took out a shining device from the bottom of her shoes and placed it beside her ear.

"Miss, we're here. We are about three minutes away from where you are. Please wait for a moment," This flashy thing was the latest communication device that her family developed.

Therefore, she could be found anytime, anywhere. It was just a matter of whether she wanted to be found or not.

"It's not needed," Adriana shot a glance at the unsuspecting Chuck.

"Not needed? Miss, what do you mean?"

This voice was very astonished. Why wouldn't she need their help?

"Do you know why I left home this time?" Adriana asked softly.

"I know. The chief asked you to get married since you are of age. However, you refused, so..." The voice was cautious.

"Good that you know," Adriana shrugged indifferently.

"So you've found someone whom you want to get married with?"

"No, but I met a decent person."

"May I ask what his name is?"

"Chuck Cannon."

There was a silence for 30 seconds before the voice explained hurriedly, "Chuck Cannon is Karen Lee's son. There has been a lot of news about her recently, and his family is not qualified to be on par with you, Young Miss!"

"It doesn't matter if he's not qualified. I've met so many people, but he's the only one who's barely qualified," Adriana calmly looked at Chuck, who was waiting in the distance.

Chuck had carried her all the way. In a sense, he was quite decent and gentlemanly. At the very least, he was not so annoying.

"What do you mean?"

"I've taken a fancy to him..." Adriana's beautiful eyes narrowed as if she had taken a fancy to a toy.
