51 Talking to the Boss At this moment, June and Sonia were standing at the door. The former was vividly telling Sonia about the things the casino had done, the people they had cheated, and even the methods they used. Sonia, on the other hand, had a proud look on her face as she sized up the people who would come out of the door from time to time. She knew that today was the best time for her to show off in front of Wallace’s mother. She had to seize this opportunity while Sharon was here and when…-

50 Mastermind The middle-aged man adjusted his gold-framed glasses. He looked gentle and refined, but there was an intimidating look in his eyes. If some important figures in New York were present, they would know who this person was-he was Quayle! He was figuratively known as the king of New York, and nobody dared to offend him! Quayle took the card and nodded approvingly. “Perry, I didn’t expect you to have some skills. Not bad-not bad at all!” Perry replied with a smile, “You have…

49 Unaware “Aunties, there’s no need to be anxious. I’ll talk to their leader now; I’ll bring good news to everyone in a while.” Sonia maintained her gentle smile on the surface, but deep down, she despised them. June didn’t see through Sonia’s thoughts and instead felt that she had someone backing her up. As long as Sonia is here, nobody will dare to provoke me. Thinking of this, June couldn’t help but say, “Sonia, Auntie will go with you.” Sharon felt that it was a little…

48 Return Money Sharon was suddenly called by her name and subconsciously turned to look at her, but June showed an unhappy expression. “Why do you care about someone like her? Don’t dirty your eyes.” Sonia understood that this Sharon was indeed as weak and incompetent as the rumors said. My chances of entering the family are even greater! Raising her head, Sonia looked at June. “Let’s talk about what happened to you, Auntie. How much do you owe?” At this point, June sighed. “I…

47 We All Know Each Other “Haha, I’m a little embarrassed to say it out loud. I have something that I need your help with.” June’s voice was very soft as if she were worried that she would be embarrassed if others saw her. “Auntie doesn’t usually have much to do at home. Recently, there’s a new underground casino near the bar street that came up with some new tricks. I didn’t expect it to be a scam. Now that Auntie owes a lot of money, can you think of a way to make up for Auntie’s…

46 Asking Sonia for Help Sharon’s brows were tightly furrowed. Her gaze was focused on June’s face, and she didn’t notice that her knuckles had already turned white from gripping too hard. Astonishingly, June reacted even faster. After hearing Sharon’s words, she couldn’t help but curse. “What’s wrong with that mouth of yours? You’re not the only one who can speak! Do you want to embarrass us further by speaking so loudly?” Seeing that Sharon didn’t refute her, June became even…

45 Gambling Debts Are Hard to Pay Even after all the guests had left, Wallace still couldn’t get over his confusion. I really don’t understand what I’ve experienced tonight, and I don’t want to probe further. The most important thing now is to find Sharon quickly. It’s already so late, and the only place she would go to is the hospital to accompany Uncle Smith. Upon recalling Sharon’s recent behavior, Wallace couldn’t help but frown. She has really changed recently. My quiet little wife…

44 The CEO Is Above Sensing that Tommy’s tone had become much calmer, Madam Harris spoke carefully with a nervous expression. “Since we’ve talked things out, can you please return to the banquet hall with CEO Charlotte?” After all, the Harris family had completely infuriated the other party. If they were to invite him back now, who knew if he would agree? Tommy glanced at Sharon-who was dazedly standing beside him-and replied perfunctorily, “The CEO doesn’t like the atmosphere of your…

43 Can’t Change People “Ah-” Zachary had just finished his sentence when Madam Harris’s cane hit him. Her tone was extremely unfriendly, and she even cursed him. “B*stard! How can you talk to your nephew like that? You’re just a director-who cares? He’s the president of the Harris Group.” When Louis heard his grandmother’s words, he instantly became nervous. “Grandma, didn’t you agree to let my father be the project director?!” Madam Harris decided to make things clear.…

42 Halting of the Collaboration Tommy’s words were like a bomb that instantly caused the crowd to boil. This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. “I only have one thing to announce-Sullivan has canceled the cooperation with the Harris family. The contract is invalid, and Sullivan doesn’t have to bear any responsibility. Sullivan doesn’t want to disturb the entertainment of the Harris family.” Sharon gazed at Madam Harris coldly. Upon hearing this news, Madam Harris’s body went limp.…
