Mommy 281
“What?!”
Kamryn was shocked briefly before she understood his meaning. Her clear, bright eyes widened, much like an angry kitten, reflecting the anger and nervousness she felt.
“Who is it? Who has the guts to do this to you?!”
Charlie was taken aback by her intense reaction.
When he came to his senses, a hint of affection and fondness shone in his eyes.
He comforted her, saying, “Don’t be nervous. It’s not a big deal.”
His casual remark angered Kamryn.
Raising an eyebrow, she turned around and glared at him fiercely. “What did you say? It’s not a big deal? Someone wants to hurt you!”
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”
Charlie immediately yielded when he saw her menacing expression and said, “This is a truly grave issue. I will handle it with
caution.
Business rivals often plot against each other and may resort to murder, whether openly or covertly, for financial gain and influence.
Charlie had experienced similar situations many times before, so he didn’t take Tillman’s words seriously at all.
But Kamryn was different. She had never been exposed to the sinister aspect of the business realm. Furthermore, her fluster and anger stemmed from her concern for him, and it made sense.
So Charlie was very willing to comfort her and felt pleased with her concern for him.
“Be careful,” said Kamryn, her voice softening-
Then she added seriously with a frown, “You asked me to be obedient and not to worry you. You should do the same. Stay safe at all times and don’t make me worry!”
Charlie was deeply moved. He embraced her tightly and kissed her on the forehead.
“Okay. I promise you.”
Kamryn knew that he would surely fulfill his promise to her and felt somewhat relieved.
She then asked, “So, who wants to hurt you?”
“Wilson Duarte.
“Duarte asked Kamryn, acutely aware of the significance behind the name as it was very sensitive to her. “Is this man part of the Duarte family? Is his decision to hurt you related to Nicole’s pregnancy?”
“Most likely,” Charlie said calmly. “He is Nicole’s older brother. They have been close since childhood. Nicole suffered greatly this time. Although she brought it upon herself, I made matters worse for her. It’s only natural for the Duarte family to put the
blame on me
He was a responsible man who was always willing to take accountability for his actions and never thought about avoiding
then
This was also because he never took the Duarte family seriously.
Their hatred and resentment meant nothing to him and were not even worth mentioning
He continued. I used the situation with Nicole to force Zackery into giving me a valuable piece of land. He might take it lying down, but his son Wilson might not forget it and might even hold a grudge against mel

Kamryn was frightened. “So, he is trying to get back at you?”
“Yes,” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“But why didn’t he do it himself? Although the status of the Duarte family is not as great as yours, they are powerful too. Wilson surely has the power to hurt you himself. Why did he ask someone else to do it? It might make it easier to find that he is behind the scenes.”
“Because he doesn’t dare to offend me openly!”
Charlie smiled faintly. “His father might not even have the guts to challenge me. How dare he?”
Kamryn twitched the corner of her mouth and could not help complaining to herself, ‘He usually seems so unassuming and kind, but his words were incredibly arrogant. His haughtiness never showed on his face, but it ran deep within him, as shown in this sentence.
“Nicole was in the wrong, and her family felt guilty. Besides, you have the goods on them. Of course, they don’t dare to confront you directly
She thought for a moment and soon understood. “But if others caused you harm and there is no proof, then it is not their responsibility!”
That was why Wilson asked someone else to do the dirty work.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Charlie’s influence. The person he recruited opposed his strategy and even betrayed him to Charlie.
“The person Wilson asked for help is Gregory. He is Tillman’s lackey and informed Tillman of Wilson’s request. Tillman tried
FWilso to establish a connection with me years ago but failed. Fortunately, Wilson provided him with an opportunity to connect with me!”
Being no fool, Tillman took advantage of the chance and sent a message to Charlie the night he knew about it
From this perspective, Wilson’s actions could be seen as a form of self–sacrifice for the good of others.
Charlie suddenly gave a sarcastic smile. “If the cunning old man Zackery learns his son, whom he has high hopes for, did. something stupid without him knowing, he’ll explode with fury.”
After all, Wilson was the first person in their circle to allow himself to be used by others!
Kamryn’s lips twitched.
Now, even she believed that Wilson was very stupid.
He knew that Charlie had something on him, but he acted like he was following orders while attempting to harm Charlie. To make matters worse, the person he went to for help ended up betraying him and used him to fawn over his adversary.
She began to feel that his life was difficult and was a bit sympathetic towards him.
He was indeed Nicole’s brother. They did things in such a similar way.
“So, what are you going to do? Kamryn asked after a moment of silence.
She knew Charlie was scheming and vengeful.
Since Wilson dared to have such a wicked plan against him, Charlie certainly could and would make him pay twice the punishment.
But this time, she guessed wrong.
Charlie shook his head and said. “I’m not going to do anything.”
“Why not?”
“Because I don’t need to
Kamryn looked puzzled. “What do you mean ‘you don’t need to?”
He had suddenly and dramatically changed and decided against holding grudges?
Charlie said, “You’ll get it in a few days. Even if I explain now, you’ll likely not understand. Why don’t you go to bed now?”
Kamryn was upset and unyielding.
“You haven’t said it yet. How do you know that I won’t understand? Tell me now!”
Charlie didn’t budge. “It’s very late. You should go to sleep. The doctor has reminded you not to stay up
“But you’ve got me curious. How can I fall asleep?”
late.
Kamryn refused to give up. She reached out her hand from under the covers, tugged at Charlie’s sleeve, and shook his arm. Then she said coquettishly, “Why don’t you explain it now, Charlie? What did you mean?”
