In the following days, the man would occasionally come back to make a scene. The casino's regular customers knew each other pretty well, so the news spread like wildfire. It became impossible to control the situation. The manager tried his best to explain that no one had cheated at that time, but the damage had already been done. The casino's integrity was questioned by those who heard about the issue. This caused the casino's profits to decline immensely.
By the time Bill found out about it, it was already too late. The casino business had been completely ruined. The money laundering issue didn't help. The local authorities had no choice but to ban the venue and stop their operations.
Late at night, Bill was at the private lounge. He looked like there was a dark cloud hanging above his head as he gritted his teeth angrily.
"Who on earth did it? Where is the troublemaker?"
The manager trembled at the sight of Bill's furious face. He replied with a stutter, "I c-can't find him. I d-don't know where he went."
It was only now that he realized that everything was just a ruse to ruin their business!
Bill clenched his jaw and scolded sharply, "What's the use of you idiots?! Go and find him then! Now!"
Sweat slowly dripped on the manager's pale face. He nodded his head and replied shakily, "Yes, boss! I'll get someone to investigate and find him now!"
Truth be told, he didn't really know where to start investigating. However, he couldn't just stand there and do nothing while his boss yelled at him furiously. He had to act quickly.
After the manager left, Bill grabbed a bottle of wine and angrily threw it on the ground. He cursed.
The bottle hit the ground with a loud crash and shattered into hundreds of pieces.
The men standing outside at the door looked at each other in horror as they heard the loud sound of glass shattering. No one dared to make a sound.
The next morning, inside the CEO Office of the Ke Group, Louis seemed to be in a joyful mood.
Sitting comfortably on his office chair, Louis squinted attentively at his assistant, who was diligently informing him of the latest news.
"Bill's casino suffered a great loss this time. It was shut down by the local authorities. His other businesses have been affected negatively as well," the assistant explained.
Hearing that, Louis couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. "That's good."
The assistant didn't dare to say anything. He just stared at the report in his hands and thought to himself, 'The casino that Louis just took over is going to be bankrupt. How is that good?'
"Anything else?" Louis asked casually.
The assistant blinked as he came back to reality and quickly scanned through his reports. After a little bit of briefing on other trivial matters, he slowly shook his head and said, "That is all."
Louis nodded and told his assistant, "Please put off all the work for me this afternoon. I am going to dinner with someone."
The boss
d sat back down. Hunk's warm smile and affectionate gestures shocked the Lin couple sitting right next to him.
They remembered that the old man wasn't usually this softhearted. 'Whose daughter is that? How could Hunk be so fond of her?' The couple exchanged questioning looks with each other. They were curious about the same thing.
"Mr. Ke, who is this kid?" Despite Juliat's intimidating approach, she still knew how to behave politely. So, she held back her anger and spoke respectfully.
Hunk replied with a gentle smile, "She is my granddaughter."
'Granddaughter?!'
The word hit Juliat like a truck. She was dumbfounded by this news. She had never known that Hunk had a granddaughter. Was this girl an illegitimate child of Louis'?
Beside the Lin couple, Janet frantically looked back and forth between Louis and Taylor. When she saw that her mother was still unwilling to let them go, she begged helplessly, "Mom, let's just leave them alone. Please, let's go back."
To say that Juliat was angry was an understatement. She was fuming with rage. She had come to the manor to question Louis and she wouldn't leave without a proper explanation. She furrowed her brows and glared at her daughter. "You're worthless!" she snapped at her.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Janet quickly lowered her head in retreat. She didn't dare say anything else in fear of making her mother even more furious. She had no choice but to cast a glance at Louis and wink at him secretly. She hoped that Louis could step in and deal with the aftermath.
Louis frowned at Juliat's outburst and was about to explain, but Amy suddenly jumped out of Hunk's arms. She rushed straight to Taylor and looked at her with an excited grin. "Mommy! Mommy!"
A warm feeling of happiness filled Taylor within seconds. Taylor squatted down and held the sweet child in her arms. Smiling, Taylor rubbed their noses together and asked fondly, "Did you behave and listen to Grandpa this whole time?"
