My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 511

"Shame on me? Zelda, I dare you to say that again!" Quinn glared at Zelda. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She disliked being scolded the most.

"Didn't I make myself clear?" Zelda was furious. How could she say such shameless things like doing it at her house? Did she have no shame?

"Zelda, I think you want to close down one of your stores, don't you?" Quinn commented hardheartedly.

She had bought a street over earlier on, and Zelda's store was coincidentally located on the same street. If Chuck hadn't approached her, she would have asked Zelda to move away.

"What do you mean?" Zelda questioned with a frown.

"Don't you understand? I own the entire street where one of your stores is located. If Chuck hadn't spoken up for you, I would have asked you to move out," Quinn explained.

Zelda immediately understood. To her surprise, Chuck had gone so far to help her. She was curious to know how he managed to convince Quinn.

"I'll move out then," Zelda made up her mind. She was able to identify which store Quinn was referring to. Although that store had made the most profit, her landlord turned out to be her rival. She would certainly cease the store operations with immediate effect. Zelda had too much pride to accept Chuck's help and work under her rival.

"You can't move out," Quinn insisted.

"Why can't I? Do I need to inform you beforehand? I'll move out the minute I get back," Zelda snorted.

How could Zelda accept such an overbearing rival as her landlord?

She didn't want to linger there any longer, even if it would cost a shedload of money for relocation.

"A no means a no. I've promised Chuck," Quinn replied, sounding impatient.

She had to fulfill her promise. If Chuck knew that she had forced Zelda to leave, things might get worse.

"I insist on moving out," Zelda walked out coolly.

Quinn was burning with anger and she darted out right away. When they arrived at the parking lot, she shouted ferociously, "Hey, go ahead and move out! Just try me, and I will acquire all the shoplots of your restaurant chains? Let's see if you can just keep moving then!"

"You!" Zelda roared back at Quinn. Quinn was indeed a woman of her words. She must be out of her mind to do things like that.

Even if Quinn only bought half of them, it would cost Zelda a huge loss for the store renovation if she were to move out. On top of that, she would need to spend extra time searching for a new place and renovating it all over again. It was a heavy price to pay.

"Don't ever think that you can stand a chance, just carry on with your business. I will always keep an eye on you,1' Quinn glared at Zelda as she got into her car.

Zelda was infuriated, "I will move out for sure!"

"Don't piss me off. I have promised Chuck," Quinn started the car stormily and scoffed, "I don't want to waste my time on you. Just stay. I will grant you an exemption from paying the rent."

"What was that for? Do you think I care about that little amount of money?"

"If you're not short of money, then stay and I'll charge you twice of what you are currently paying. Do you still want to continue your business?"

"What makes you think that I won't?"

"You won't. You're such a coward. How would you continue your business there?" Quinn smirked disdainfully.

Zelda snarled, "You... I'll prove it to you!"

"You said it yourself. I didn't force you," Quinn shrugged.

"You!" Zelda was dumbfounded. Quinn actually tried to goad her into remaining her business at the present location.

Quinn let out a low chuckle when she saw Zelda being utterly discomfited.

"What are you laughing at? What's there to laugh about?" Zelda was maddened by her reaction.

No, she must not allow Quinn to win over her. Eventually, she had to move, or else it would be the greatest nightmare to her. "I'm hungry, let's have a meal together. It's been a long time since we've had a meal together, don't you agree?" Quinn suddenly offered.

Zelda was stunned. Indeed, ever since their friendship fell apart, they didn't see each other anymore.

Indeed, they did not have a meal together for a very long time. They were bosom buddies way back in college. In spite of that, they argued and broke up due to disputes on certain matters.

"It's true that we haven't eaten together for a long period of time," It took Zelda a short while to cool off.

"Where do you want to eat? This meal is on me."

"No, why is it on you? Let's go to my restaurant," Zelda politely declined her offer.

"Okay," Quinn nodded in agreement.

They looked into each other's eyes for a moment and out of the blue, both of them flashed a smile. They were in fact two lovely ladies.

Both Zelda and Quinn felt that it was immature to continue the quarrel.

Hence, they unanimously decided to end this fight, for now.

"Zelda, let's go to your restaurant. Can you be the chef? I haven't tasted your cooking for ages," Quinn reminisced about Zelda's passion for cooking during college.

"Sure, no problem," Zelda replied with a smile.

The two of them had reconciled. If Chuck was here, he would definitely be astounded. What was going on?

However, the smile left them slightly awkward. After all, they both had a crush on Chuck. How could they not be jealous and make peace with each other?

"The two of us like..." Quinn said embarrassedly.

Zelda looked down and remained silent.

"Stop it. Let's just be friends again. It has nothing to do with Chuck," Zelda commented.

"Well, if both of us like him, what shall we do?..."

"Um..." Zelda was in a dilemma. She clearly knew that she and Chuck didn't really do it till the end.

Chuck felt guilty so he had never initiated anything with her, and she did not pressure him into marrying her either. She just thought that if she couldn't marry him, she would just give birth to his child and take care of the child all by herself. At the very least, she would have a companion in the future.

Apart from that, would she stay single forever? Zelda knew that she would not fall for anyone else but Chuck...

"Let's drop the topic and go get something to eat." It was pointless to contemplate any longer. Even so, Zelda warned Quinn sternly, "But seriously, Quinn, don't do it in my office anymore..."

Quinn blushed. She didn't want to do it either but she was compelled to by Chuck.

"Why don't I lend you my office too? Then we're even?" Quinn uttered after pondering for a while.

This time, it was Zelda's turn to flush. It was surely a wild idea.

Ultimately, she needed Chuck's consent. If he agreed to it, then she would be able to bear his child.

She would not have to feel so lonely in the future. "That's enough. Let's just have our meal."

"Agreed. We shouldn't talk about this anymore."

Lara returned by plane and went straight to the plaza, but still she couldn't find Chuck. When Yolanda informed her that Chuck had just left for the United States, she was totally disappointed. She purposely came back just to meet Chuck, yet he had unexpectedly flown to the United States. When would he come back though?

Lara went back to her cafe, feeling upset. Alas, how could this happen? She was in a terrible mood. She had sent Chuck a WhatsApp message, but there was no reply from him at all. What was she supposed to do now?

Didn't Chuck like her at all? He should have a thing for her since she had perfect features and a curvy figure. However, even when Lara didn't lock the door at Willa's house in Central City, he didn't come to find her at night.

She heaved a great sigh.

"Young Master, we have reached the United States," Betty woke Chuck up.

Yes. After a long flight, they had finally arrived in the United States.

When Chuck woke up, he noticed that Yvette was already sitting beside him and watching him sleep.

Chuck was relieved to see her rosy complexion. He held her hands.

"Hubby," Yvette called him.

"Don't worry. My mother will settle this for you. Don't worry even if you see her later," Chuck comforted her.

He knew that Yvette would not simply make a move in front of him. If she did, she would tell him in advance.

"Okay." Yvette sighed. She wanted to murder Karen, nonetheless she needed her help at the moment. This... was quite complicated for her.

She was at a loss on what to do.

Soon after the plane touched down, Betty escorted Chuck and Yvette out of the airport. Meanwhile, Karen was dealing with several matters in another region in the United States. She told Betty to assist them in settling down, and that she would meet with them in a couple of days.
