Chapter 524
Chuck didn't move an inch even after the warning. Alexandrina glared hotly at him and yelled, "Shouldn't you be further away from me?!"
Chuck smiled, shrugged and moved away a little. He picked up his wine glass and tried to make small talk, "Auntie, this wine is delicious."
"Do you know how precious this wine is? Even your mother wouldn't be able to get her hands on a bottle of it," she said coldly.
Chuck really liked it and managed to finish the entire glass in one shot.
"Auntie, could you get me another glass please," Chuck smiled.
He reached out with his empty wine glass.
"How crude! Do you even know how to drink wine properly?! How can you drink it like this? You need to taste it slowly!" Alexandrina was a little pissed off.
This bottle of wine was very precious, so she had been quite reluctant to drink it. She had only popped it open today because she wanted to show it off to Karen. However, Karen had not been surprised at all when she had a taste just now. She was already annoyed by that. Her heart ached to see Chuck waste her expensive wine just like that.
This bottle of wine was so precious that there were only three bottles of it left in the entire world. "Auntie, please teach me how then," Chuck blinked hazily as he said.
"Stop trying to make it seem like we're close! I'm not your aunt, f*ck off!" She poured herself a glass of wine and tasted it slowly. She felt better when she did.
Chuck looked at her with puppy eyes.
"Don't look at me like that! Do you know how much this wine cost me?" She muttered darkly.
"I'll just ask my mother to pay you back," he said. It didn't matter to Chuck anyways since it was just money. He had an extremely wealthy mother, hence money would never be a problem to him.
All he needed to do was tell his mother about it.
"Ask your mom to pay for the wine? Please, she'll only make fun of me," Alexandrina frowned. She didn't want to get mocked by Karen.
When Karen was still a killer back then, Alexandrina had thought that they could become good friends. She often invited her to go clubbing together but Karen refused every time. She disliked going to such places.
Of course, Karen's rejections had pissed her off. What's more, her sudden declaration to pull out of the organisation was even more annoying. After all this time, she still couldn't get over it!
She had been so kind to her, inviting her to clubs and to have fun. It was alright for Karen to refuse her invitations, but how could she just quit her job like that? She felt like she had been abandoned!
That was the main reason why she was angry. But she knew that Karen treated her well in her own way. Because of the different priorities in life, Karen had never liked going to places like clubs or bars. But other than that, Karen had treated her as a friend...
"Auntie, what happened between you and my mother?"
Chuck had managed to take the bottle of wine and tried to pour it for himself. "Don't drink this one! It's wasted on you. Drink that one," Alexandrina said and passed him another bottle.
Chuck shrugged and took the other bottle accordingly.
"I think your mother looks down on me," she said eventually.
"Look down on you? My mother is not that kind of person," Chuck didn't know what to say to that. His mother was the kindest person on earth. Even though she was rich, she didn't think she was in any way more superior than others.
That was a quality he adored the most about his mother.
He had inherited this personality. He was not one to act arrogantly, even if he had the ability to do so.
"It's just... I've always tried to invite her to have some fun at clubs, but she never comes," she admitted.
Chuck really didn't know what to say to that.
"Of course my mom wouldn't go!" He thought.
His mother would definitely laugh if she knew that this was the reason why Alexandrina disliked her. "What else happened between you two?" Chuck asked as he breathed out a sigh of relief. There was still room for negotiation after all. He had initially thought that his mom had once killed one of her relatives or friends or something.
"Well, lots of other things. Your mom is very stubborn! We are all women, and I tried to introduce her to some guys but she refused! She never wants to go anywhere with me!" She said with a bitter tone.
"Oh Auntie, you can stop if it's getting too... painful to talk about," Chuck said.
"Why would I stop? Do you know why am I telling you this?" Alexandrina teased.
"Not really. Why?"
"I want to let her know that if she looks down on me again, I will toy with her son," she declared happily, shocking Chuck.
What kind of childish logic was this?
"As you wish," Chuck said. He did not care much.
"What are you thinking? Do you really think that I'll let you touch me? I was just joking with you just now! Please, would you let a toy touch you if you were me? You are nothing in my eyes, I'll kick you if I want," she laughed.
"Do you think my mom will let that happen?" He retorted.
"It's all up to you. If you want me to withdraw the kill order, then you'll have to listen to me. There is no other way around this, do you understand?"
Chuck was still contemplating it. He would not agree to become her slave. His mother had told him not to give up his dignity as a man.
He had to refuse.
Chuck shook his head, "No."
"I'm not trying to force you but you do know that if you don't agree, your wife will die, right? The kill order that I've issued is very powerful," she taunted.
Chuck was at a loss for words. How could such a woman exist in real life?
"I can only promise you that I'll grant you particular favours. If you're thinking about humiliating me, forget it!" Chuck said.
"You won't, will you? Then what use are you if not for me to step on?" Alexandrina scoffed. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Chuck merely glared at her which made her frown, "Why are you glaring at me like that?"
He then got extremely close to her.
"F*ck off! You hear me?!" Alexandrina was furious.
Chuck didn't care in the least. "You'd better scream louder. My mom might hear and come in to save you. She'll laugh at you for getting so easily startled by me," he noted softly.
"Goodness! How did Karen give birth to such a shameless son?!" She exclaimed angrily. Although she did announce that she wanted Chuck's company, she would never in a million years allow him to touch her anywhere.
What would it mean if he touched her? Well, it would mean that she would be his toy instead of the other way round! This was something she could not accept!
Eventually, Chuck stopped inching closer and said, "Auntie, let's get straight to the point. Tell me, what do I have to do to make you withdraw the kill order?"
"I'm not withdrawing for anything, why should I?" Alexandrina smiled happily.
"Are you really not going to withdraw it?" Chuck asked again, his tone dark.
"Are you trying to threaten me now? If you weren't Karen's son, you would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs by now!" She snapped.
If he had really laid a hand on her just now, she would have hulked out already.
Knowing this, he didn't dare to do so.
In an instant, he stood up and walked towards the door. She frowned and sneered at him, "Are you going to ask your mother to come in? Let her in then.... Hold on, what are you doing?"
Chuck had suddenly started to jog and jump around.
Alexandrina didn't quite understand what he was doing. However, she saw that his actions had slowly started to make him sweat and heave.
She immediately understood, got angry and yelled, "You rascal! How dare you set me up! Do you really want your mother to misunderstand me?!"
Chuck continued to jog, more sweat forming on his body.
Alexandrina took out a golden gun and threatened, "Stop this instance! I'll kill you if you take another step!"
Chuck remained unbothered and continued whatever he was doing. His mother was outside anyways, so why would he be afraid of her firing the gun?
Chuck was not afraid. In fact, there seemed to be no conflict between Alexandrina and his mother. This woman was just really narrow-minded and had a bad temper.
She would never shoot him, he was sure of this. If she did, his mother would definitely come in and kill her. Was she willing to exchange her own life for Chuck's?
Of course not!
Alexandrina narrowed her blue eyes at his audacity and said, "You piece of sh*t, stop! Stop it... Hey, I told you to stop! Look, I'll withdraw the kill order, alright?!"
Chuck heaved a sigh of relief hearing those words and stopped. "Thank you, Auntie."
"But I need you to agree to five conditions," she added.
"Five?!" Chuck was in a state of utter despair. This woman was really demanding.
"Yes, five!"
"Are you joking?"
"I'm really not. The five conditions are about some other matters," Alexandrina said, finally having cooled down. She had only thought of one out of the five conditions so far, but she was confident that the other four he owed her would definitely come in handy.
Chuck was relieved and said, "Okay, I agree. But I will consider these five conditions before agreeing to them. You need to know that not everything can be done. What if you want me dead or even ask me to kill my mother? I cannot agree to anything."
Chuck was still rational.
"Are you stupid? Do you think I'll ask you to do such a thing? I hate Karen, but I hate you more. Even so, I don't want you to die so soon. Come over here, let me give you some pocket money," Alexandrina said. She really wanted to give Chuck some money.
Money? Chuck shook his head and answered, "No, I'm good. My mom has it."
"I don't want to hear that anymore," she said coldly. With a shrug, Chuck walked over and asked, "Well, how much are you going to give me?"
"Any amount you want," she replied.
"Well, how much money do you have?" Chuck asked after some contemplation.
"Why? Do you want it all?"
"No, a little something would be fine. One dollar is enough," Chuck answered.
