My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 646

Adriana assumed that Chuck must not be able to bear the pain any longer and was going to ask her for help any moment now.

After all, she was the only one there who could save Chuck from this.

No one else would be able to help him.

The Three Greatest Hidden Households did not differ from each other much in terms of strength. However, there was still a ranking amongst themselves. While the Yeager family placed second, the Whitlock family ranked first.

That was why Thomson had wanted Loomis and Adriana to get married.

In short, the Whitlock family was the most powerful family in the world.

As the future heiress of the Whitlock family, she could make anything happen with just a word.

That applied to the current situation as well. She could save Chuck's life with just a lift of her finger.

Even so, Adriana had no plans to save Willa, none at all.

Loomis' brows furrowed as he turned to look at Adriana.

The master of the Yeager family, Brooke followed suit as well.

He did not look happy in the slightest. The Three Greatest Householdshad been able to have their legacies passed down for more than a thousand years now. Even so, the relationship between the three households was pretty fragile. They worked to keep each other in check and made sure to restrict each other from not doing anything unbecoming.

As their relationship with each other was mutually beneficial, the Three Greatest Hidden Households did not have any qualms with each other. They would not let small matters upset the balance that they had worked so hard to maintain.

That was also why Brooke was a little hesitant.

He wouldn't know what to do if Adriana decided to help Chuck.

Should he, as a representative of the Yeager family, let her do as she pleased? Or, should he attempt to maintain and salvage the Yeager family pride by refusing her request?

Every member of the Yeager family sported indiscernible expressions.

Adriana had calmed down at that moment. Was Chuck finally going to acknowledge her?

He had to know of her capabilities!

With just a few words, she would be able to save him from this madness.

However, seconds ticked by in absolute silence. Chuck did not even bother to spare her another glance. Adriana just could not believe it!

Everyone exchanged looks of silent dismay with each other.

What was going on?

Loomis smiled as he heaved a sigh of relief at the silence. He hoped desperately that Adriana would not speak up for Chuck as he would have to heed her demands to stop hurting him if she had her way. He was a member of the Yeager family after all. He had to give her face.

In the end, maintaining their civil relationship was the most important element at hand.

The Yeager family would not fare well if they offended the Whitlock family. He would not risk it for someone like Chuck.

A piece of trash like him wasn't worth jeopardizing their family's relationship with the Whitlock family.

Loomis laughed a little as he thought to himself. Why was he wasting time thinking about that fool?

Chuck was not worth his time at all!

To him, Chuck was nothing but trash!

He did not understand why Adriana did not share similar views.

He couldn't comprehend why she would want to get together with Chuck at all.

He suddenly realized that maybe Adriana was treating Chuck as a toy to be played with.

Yes, that must be the case. Adriana must think that Chuck is some sort of disposable toy to pass her time.

He did not think that Adriana would make the effort to protect such a dispensable person. Therefore, he was certain that Chuck was going to die by his hands today. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"So Chuck, what's your plan now? Are you going to beg Adriana to save you? Come on then, grovel right now! Why aren't you kneeling? Do you need me to teach you how to beg properly? Or do you think that you're too good to beg for mercy? Who do you think you are?!" Loomis mocked.

Loomis's words immediately startled the others.

He was right.

Just who the hell did Chuck think he was?

Adriana would never stand up for such an idiot! In fact, she wouldn't help him even if he knelt down before her.

Hearing this, Chuck finally looked over at Adriana.

Adriana's heart thumped in both rage and excitement. She willed him to beg for her help...

However, Chuck shook his head and said, "No, I won't ask for her help! I have a plan in mind already.”

In that instant, Adriana shot up from her seat as if struck by lightning. Her expression immediately went cold.

Chuck had decided not to get help from her!

That stubborn fool!

He really wanted to die here, didn't he?

Nelson let out a chuckle at Chuck's choice.

What an idiot!

He had essentially lost the one opportunity to stay alive.

Having pissed off Miss Adriana, Chuck had essentially made his death bed.

"Oh please, Adriana wouldn't help you even if you'd begged! Why would she want to save you of all people? Who do you think you are? Acting all high and mighty like that, all that false bravado... Don't you think you're overdoing it?" Loomis laughed.

He had Chuck exactly where he wanted him.

Everyone followed suit, laughing uproariously as they ridiculed and sneered at Chuck.

Chuck looked at them calmly and said, "Having a laugh, are you? Aren't any of you curious about what my plan is?"

"What cunning plan could you possibly have, Chuck? There's no way you can endure this any longer! We've already checked you for weapons before you came in, you know. You don't have anything to defend yourself! Not even a gun!" Loomis sneered.

"This person is truly a fool. Did he think we would still be standing here today if we weren't vigilant with security?" A beautiful woman said with disdain.

"Are you sure I don't have any weapons? Well, why didn't your security detect this then?" Chuck questioned all while remaining calm.

He showed them something in his palm. It looked like a common marble ball.

"Are you kidding me? What are you going to do with that? Even if it was a bomb, it's still ridiculously small!" A young man scoffed loudly with a laugh.

The others sneered at Chuck in ridicule.

Upon seeing what was in Chuck's palm, Loomis also let out a laugh, "This is it, then? That's your plan to get out of this?"

"Once I detonate this bomb, it will be able to kill at least half of you here," Chuck said.

Willa straightened her body as she heard this, feeling startled. Did such a bomb really exist?

She had not heard of it before.

However, she did not think it was that farfetched. The boss of the killer organisation, Alexandrina, was well- versed with weapons. She would definitely be able to get her hands on weapons like this for self-protection.

Despite looking small, it was enough to blow half of the people here away.

If he tossed this bomb into the crowd, no one would be able to escape from the blast! There would be no time to run.

Loomis frowned as he stared at the suspicious marble-looking bomb in Chuck's hand. What kind of bomb was this?

Did a bomb like that even exist?

Brooke hissed coldly, "Loomis, be careful! There are too many people here for you to take heightened risks..."

Loomis nodded and started to declare loudly so Chuck could hear him, "Why should we believe you? Just because you say it's a bomb doesn't prove that it is one!"

"Oh, you don't believe me?" Chuck taunted as he walked towards Loomis.

Loomis's expression grew angry at Chuck's blatant provocation, "Stop right there!"

Their squabble echoed in the halls.

Chuck was as calm as a cucumber.

"That’s why he was so stubborn! He has a bomb?" Adriana muttered to herself in surprise.

"I've never seen something like that before. With the advancement of technology now, we will probably be able to do the same. However, I doubt we can fit a bomb in something that small..."

Nelson's face darkened as he continued.

"He still looks very calm. He's not panicking in the slightest..." Adriana was still muttering to herself.

Something flashed in Nelson's eyes.

The entire hall was dead silent.

Nobody dared to speak.

"Scan him!" Loomis chided.

A group of men started to gather their scanning equipment around Chuck as instructed.

"This bomb will explode as soon as it touches the ground. Besides, as long as I flip the switch on this thing, it will explode immediately. You'd better not aim a sniper at me. If someone hits me by accident and I drop it..." Chuck warned.

Loomis glared at him with hatred in his eyes.

Silence prolonged for a minute as the men got to work.

Soon, someone walked up to him and reported their findings, "Young Master, that marble in his hand is not an ordinary marble. There's a kind of chemical in it..."

"What chemical?"

"They are flammables and explosives, even some radioactive chemicals..."

"What?" Loomis exclaimed.

"If this thing explodes, it really will be able to kill half of us. A third of us won't be able to escape from the blast in time," The person explained.

Smack!

Loomis slapped the man a few times across his face as he bellowed, "What's the point of the Yeager's keeping scum like you here? How did none of you realise that he had a bomb with him all this time?!"

It was only then that they realized the seriousness of the situation.

Everyone's expression morphed into a panic.

Chuck really had a bomb!

Even the master of the Yeager family, Brooke, could not stand idly to sit in his place anymore.

If this bomb exploded, they would have to pay with their lives!

"So, what do you think of my plan?" Chuck asked calmly.

Willa could not remove her gaze away from Chuck. She was honestly dumbfounded. She did not expect this from him...

Loomis's expression was one of rage, "A bomb? That's your epic plan?! How can that possibly save you from death? You'll die with it!"

"Oh, my death doesn't matter. If I have to die today, I'm taking all of you here down with me. I'll see you in the afterlife," Chuck said, his finger pressing firmly on the marble's detonation switch.
