Karen stepped forward and was about to attack Nelson.
Nelsen sneered. This time, he would definitely finish her off with one punch!
The atmosphere froze, both sides ready to pounce at each other.
Just then ...
"Karen, don't be stupid. Are you even qualified to initiate a fight with one of my men?" Adriana raised an eyebrow.
It was a matter of who came first.
If she had wanted to beat Karen up, she should be the one to bring it up, not the other way around.
Karen stopped, "Fine. Then tell me, is Willa alive?"
"You haven't answered my question yet. If she is alive, you'll pretend that nothing has happened. So what if she's dead? What would you do? Be my rival?" The sarcasm in Adriana's tone was evident.
In this world, except for the other two hidden families, she didn't care about people like Karen at a 11.
"Yes, you're right. I took Willa in as my daughter. If you killed her, then I would hold a grudge against you. I will dedicate my entire life to ruining you and your family!" Karen replied.
"Huh... Should I be afraid? Why do I feel like laughing?" Adriana let out a laugh, a mocking smile plastered on her face.
Nelson was laughing too. Karen's stupidity really knew no bounds.
She was just digging her own grave.
"There's nothing funny about that. Tell me, is Willa dead or alive?" Karen asked calmly.
"You really are interesting. Fine, let me tell you, Willa is still alive! But today, you've made me feel that there's no need for you to continue living. I usually just kill off people like you," Adriana twirled a strand of her hair around her finger.
Karen's expression did not change at all, but she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Willa was still alive, so that was enough.
However, where on earth was Willa?
She probably wasn't captured by Adriana. She must have been seriously injured. Karen was eager to leave. Instead of wasting time here, she would rather seize the time to look for Willa.
Willa must have been badly injured!
Ding!
Karen's cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at it, her gaze glimmering with hope. She immediately turned around and walked away.
"Hmph, did Miss Adriana allow you to go?" Nelson struck, his fist aimed right at the back of Karen's head!
He would kill her with one punch.
Karen's eyes narrowed coldly. She turned around and threw a punch.
The pale fist was Karen's, and the dark fist was Nelson's. They had started fighting.
Thud!
Both Karen and Nelson did not move.
They were poised in combat for a good 10 seconds.
All was silent, as silent as death.
However, Karen looked at Adriana who sat on the sofa and warned, "Don't test me."
Bang!
Karen retreated her fists and turned around to leave.
Adriana frowned. Did Karen just threaten her?
How bold of her!
"Miss Adriana, I'm sorry. Karen left in a hurry, and I underestimated her. I only used 40% of my strength, I ... " Nelson bowed his head apologetically.
"It's all right. I'm also surprised that she can withstand 40 percent of your strength. Not bad ... Just how powerful is Karen?" Adriana became a little interested.
"She's just so-so. I attacked her with not even half of my strength. If I raised it up to 70%, I guarantee she will vomit blood," Nelson emphasized.
"Oh, then she's just mediocre."
"Miss Adriana, do you want me to catch up with her and kill her now?"
"No. I've just thought of something. If she refuses to let Chuck marry into my family, then I will force him to do so right in front of her face!" Adriana said.
Her possessiveness was showing. If Karen was so unwilling to do so, and even flat-out refused her, then she would do just that!
"You've hidden well. I've used 70% of my strength. If I spat out blood here, you should also be forcefully enduring it just now. Hmph, you've set me up. It seems like I need to give you a lesson next time," Nelson hurriedly dealt with the blood in the bathroom.
Miss Adriana mustn't know about this. Otherwise, he would be done for!
After cleaning up, Nelson breathed a sigh of relief. He clutched his chest in pain and coughed violently, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Karen drove back.
She met up with Betty, showing no signs of feeling uncomfortable nor coughing up blood. In fact, she wasn't even fazed!
Nelson had used 70% of his strength, but how much did Karen use?
30%! Karen only used 30% of her strength.
"President Lee," Betty hurried over. She had told Karen that they found something in the forest.
The blood at the scene had completely dried up, but from the blood sample collected on the spot, Betty identified that it was Willa.
However, they did not find her! They had searched every nook and cranny, but no one found her.
"Are the planes ready?" Karen got out of the car and asked.
"Yes, they are."
"Let's go and have a look."
When she and Betty arrived there, the scene had been sealed off. Of course, it was by Karen's people. Others continued to search around.
Karen saw the scene. There was a torn parachute and a large pool of dried blood on the ground.
"It's true that she had escaped then," Karen muttered to herself. She felt worried and sad.
Where had Willa run off to?
"Judging from the state of the parachute, it was probably already broken during the fall. If it wasn't for the branches of the trees softening the impact of the fall, Willa would probably be dead by now. Nonetheless, Willa had still been heavily injured, and maybe lost too much blood. Maybe some branches even fell onto her ... " Betty analyzed as her heart raced. Things weren't looking good for Willa. Maybe ...
"So?"
"They've searched around and found some traces nearby. Willa was most likely saved by someone," Betty finished analyzing.
"Who could it be?" Karen narrowed her eyes.
