My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 232

"Regine, if you don't believe me, then take a look at this," Chuck handed over the contract.

Regine was very impatient. "Enough! I can't believe you're such a person. What's the point? You were a young an innocent boy back in high school. What happened to you now? Now that you've become a kept man, you've become so arrogant! I'm so disappointed in you!"

Regine slammed her foot on the accelerator, driving off to attend to her own matters. Her family owned a commercial street and she received a call regarding a complaint at a restaurant there. If Regine recalled correctly, that restaurant belonged to a lady called Zelda Maine...

After Regine left, Chuck was dumbstruck. He could only put the contract away.

"Are you trying to court Regine? She's a rich heir. There are so many people who want to be with her. Moreover, she does not believe in having a kept man..." The other classmates had come to see Regine off. After all, she paid for all their expenses, and they could enjoy themselves at the farmhouse for one more day.

"That's right. Are you trying to be Regine's sugar baby? You should look at yourself in the mirror!" They ridiculed Chuck endlessly.

Chuck had not yet left, which meant that he and the beautiful woman had spent the night together. Perhaps Chuck and the woman had made love during the night. At the thought of this, the classmates were jealous. Why was Chuck so lucky to have met such a rich and beautiful woman?

Chuck glanced at them and said, "F**k off!"

Chuck was in a hurry to send Willa back home. If he didn't go home today, Yvette would misunderstand him, so Chuck didn't want to waste time on his annoying classmates.

Chuck got on the car. Then he drove away with Willa.

The classmates were angry!

"D*mn! How dare he swear at us? He's really rude!"

"He's a gigolo! Why would you want to comment on his manners?"

"That's right. People like him are so shameless. I feel disgusted when I talk to him. Let's not waste anymore time. Let's go to the hot spring!"

"It's good to have a rich friend like Regine. We have three days to spend here. Is anyone else here wealthy? Don't forget to bring us to have fun!"

"No... How could anyone else be rich here?"

"Didn't Chuck say that he came from a rich family too?"

"Haha, that's funny! You got to be joking!"

The classmates ridiculed Chuck endlessly. They then made their way to the hot springs. What a joke, how could Chuck be a rich heir?!

They wouldn't believe it unless they saw it for themselves!

Chuck drove back with Willa. He was still very happy today. Willa had been smiling the whole time. To be honest, his life would become a much brighter place if he got to see her beautiful smile for the rest of his life.

"Auntie Logan, please rest well," Chuck said. After all, he was a little reluctant to part with her.

"Okay. Drive carefully." Willa smiled and opened the door. Chuck said that he would take Willa to tour other spots the next day as he didn't know how long she would stay.

"Alright, anything you say!" Willa nodded.

Chuck breathed a sigh of relief. Willa closed the door and Chuck headed back downstairs. However, when he arrived at the elevator, the doors opened and revealed a haggard-looking Zelda. She didn't notice Chuck and walked out of the elevator in a daze.

Chuck was surprised. "What's wrong with Zelda? What happened to her?"

"Zelda, are you alright?" Chuck asked with concern. Zelda looked exhausted, and Chuck felt his heart ache for her.

"Huh? Chuck." When Zelda regained her senses, she realized it was Chuck speaking to her. Suddenly, she felt hopeful.

The previous day, Zelda arrived at the restaurant and realized that the landlady was evicting Zelda's business. The lease had expired, but Zelda's restaurant had just been renovated the year before. At that time, the landlady had promised to extend the lease, and that was why Zelda had decided to renovate the shop. But now, the landlady reneged on her promise and came to demand Zelda's restaurant to move out.

Zelda went looking for the landlady to no avail. She was very dejected. Meanwhile, her other restaurant, an employee accidentally spilled food on a patron. The patron happened to be an influential person and Zelda had to compensate 30,000 dollars for that incident. It was not a serious issue, but Zelda was concerned if there would be more consequences from that...

"Zelda, what happened?" Chuck asked with concern.

"Everything's wrong..." Zelda felt exhausted after those unfortunate events. Those were her best- performing outlets. But now, two separate incidents had happened at those two outlets. Zelda sighed as she recited the story in full. Chuck felt worried after listening to her.

"Don't worry about it. I'll go with you to see the landlady tomorrow," Chuck said. "We'll go first thing in the morning. I'll ask Auntie Logan to wait for me."

He couldn't just stand by and watch Zelda get into trouble.

"Thank you. I have an appointment with the landlady at eight o'clock in the morning." Zelda was moved.

"Okay, give the address of your restaurant. I'll head there first thing tomorrow morning." Zelda recited it to Chuck and he noted it down in his head, "Have a good rest, Zelda." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Alright."

Chuck took the elevator down. Zelda was moved by his concern as she went back to her home.

Chuck drove home. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. When he entered the house, he saw that Yvette waiting for him. The door to the bedroom was closed, so Susan should be inside. Chuck was nervous... "Susan probably has not spilled the beans to Yvette, has she?" he wondered.

"Honey..."

Chuck walked over. Yvette hugged him and said, "Chuck, I'm sorry. I've neglected you. Tonight, I'll spend the night with you."

Chuck felt powerless. He really didn't know what was going on. He was extremely exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Of course, Chuck didn't know that Charlotte had drugged him, which was why he was feeling so vulnerable.

"Chuck, Susan is fast asleep. We got to be quiet, let me help you." Yvette said in a low voice, blushing.

Chuck really had no energy. "Honey, I'm exhausted."

Yvette was disappointed. Was it because he and Zelda were doing it last night? Was that why he was so tired? Yvette felt aggrieved but she did not do it on purpose. How could she not care about Susan?

"It's okay. I'll just hug you to sleep tonight." Yvette closed her eyes. She didn't sleep well the night before She was relieved to sleep with Chuck in her arms.

Chuck was sleepy, so he immediately fell into a deep slumber when his head hit the pillow. In the morning, it was Yvette who woke Chuck up. Chuck woke up tiredly. Yvette kissed him and said, "Get up, I am going to make breakfast."

Chuck looked at the time and found that it was nearly time to meet up with Zelda. He shook his head and said that he still had some matters to attend to. Yvette nodded disappointedly. "Well, Chuck, be careful on the road."

Chuck nodded, brushed his teeth, and left in a hurry. He drove to Zelda's restaurant.

The restaurant was located in a prosperous area. Chuck knew that the rent there would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

He got out of the car and went in the restaurant. Zelda had been waiting for Chuck for a long time. When she saw Chuck, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Chuck went over. The meeting was in the private room. Zelda brought him in.

Outside the restaurant, a luxury car drove in. A beautiful woman got off the car. Regine owned properties along the entire street. Her father had asked her to terminate the contract of this particular restaurant.

She walked in and pushed the door of the private room. Then she frowned. Chuck?! She didn't expect to see Chuck there!

Regine was disappointed and disgusted by him. Wasn't it enough for Chuck be that rich woman's sugar baby? How could he get involved with Zelda too?

Chuck was also surprised. "Regine's the landlady?" He was surprised, but he had heard from Yolanda that this street was owned by a wealthy man. Perhaps that man was Regine's father?

Zelda was nervous.

"Miss Maine, what is the meaning of this? Why did you bring him here? What does he have to do with today's discussion?" Regine sat down.

"Let me introduce him. He is..." Zelda felt that Regine was rather irritated, but she could only introduce Chuck politely.

"There's no need. I know him." Regine glanced at Chuck, shook her head, and continued, "I don't understand. Why did you ask him to come here? To offer you some support?"

Zelda was surprised, but she was relieved in her heart. Chuck was also rich, so he must know a wealthy girl like Regine. However, when she heard Regine's final sentence, Zelda was shocked. Did Regine and Chuck have a fallout?

"Regine, list down your terms and conditions. What must she do in order for her contract to be renewed?" Chuck didn't want to waste time. He still had to spend time with Willa later.

"Conditions? What gives you the right to ask for those?" Regine shook her head. "I'm really disappointed to see you today. How could I have a classmate like you?"

Chuck was speechless. "Regine, you really misunderstood me."

"Misunderstanding? Do you think it's a misunderstanding? It's funny how you could lie so blatantly!" Regine sneered.

"I'm not lying. I am from a wealthy family, and..."

"The plaza, you own a plaza, don't you?" Regine said in disgust.

"Miss Johnson, Chuck actually owns a plaza," Zelda said.

"Really? Are you defending him now?" Regine stood up and didn't want to talk anymore. "The contract has been terminated. You can leave now! Also, I really despise liars!"

"What if I actually take you to my plaza?" Chuck said calmly.
