From Bullets To Billions novel Chapter 581

Chapter 581: Not Max’s Fault

Everything was a large shock to Karen so far, she was still in disbelief that she was hardly able to control her breathing. The air felt thin, like it wasn’t entering her lungs properly, and every thought she had seemed to clash against another.

Her life had drastically changed in these few moments, but she had somewhat accepted that, she had time to accept it when making the decision. Selling the department store had been painful, but it had at least been something she chose.

What she was finding hard or close to impossible to get over, was that all of it had gone to Max.

She started to think of what could have been a better situation. Her money going to some unknown company she would have preferred. Her money going to one of the other members of the Stern family that were doing even better than her.

But for it to have gone to Max Stern.

The kid who had no mother or father to back him up. The young one who had been pushed even by his own cousins. If he had managed to best her, then what did that mean for her?

Not only that but there was a part of her that was worried, now that all of this money was in Max’s hands.

Now that he had all of this unknown power and position behind her that she never knew about, what would he do to harm her.

When she saw Chad walking through the doors she was left with confusion, but also thought it was the start of her punishment from Max.

"What is my son doing here?" Karen asked. "Why did you bring him here, is it to humiliate me even further, right in front of my own family!"

When Chad walked in, he wasn’t surprised that his mother was on her knees. He had been filled in with bits here and there, and actually Max had told Chad what he was planning to do.

To his surprise, it was Chad, that had asked, to come.

"I didn’t invite him here." Max said. "Chad has been living in this building for quite some time now. If you were closer family members, then maybe you would have known that."

"He’s been living here?" Karen turned her head. "What do you mean...wait, were you in on this as well? Did you help Max to take my fortune, to trick us all?"

Karen then stood up on her feet.

"You planned all of this from the beginning, this is why you stuck up for Max at his graduation isn’t it! Now I understand, my own family is now attacking me.

"My very own child that I gave birth to, is stealing from me!"

Karen started to laugh but it was as if it was a person who had gone mad. The laugh wasn’t natural, it was sharp, forced, something between anger and denial.

"Mother.." Chad called out, and both of his fists were clenched. "I didn’t work against you.

"And you should listen to what Max said, he didn’t work against you or target you either."

Karen then looked at her son.

"What are you saying have you gone ma-"

"Just shut up and listen to me for once!" Chad snapped.

The room fell silent.
