Samuel went to the general store at 4.30pm, but the store still had not opened. He had a bad feeling about this. Has something terrible happened to the owner’s family? Why would they suddenly close up shop without a single word otherwise?After he picked Yvonne up, he noticed that her face was puffed up like a goldfish. It was obvious that she was fuming. “What’s wrong?” he asked, smiling. “The matter is solved, no? Or did Grandma not praise you?”Yvonne harrumphed icily. “Today, when Johann brought Gareth to expose everything Harvey did, Grandma just let him get away,” she said. “All she did was tell him to go back home and reflect upon himself.”Samuel could only express a mirthless smile at her words. Sure, Grandma Sue would always have a bias toward Harvey, but he should have been demoted no matter what. At the very least, she had to make an example of him. The words ‘reflect upon himself’ sounded laughably ridiculous in this case.Additionally, it was not just a simple case of Gra

The Longman Club was publicly known as a massage parlor. In reality, the ‘Longman Club’ was merely a cover; people who frequented it knew that it was actually called the Longman Underground Den.There was a sprawling casino on the club’s first floor. Gamblers from all walks of life immersed themselves there, unable to peel themselves away. Some appeared haggard with disappointment, others were flush with victory. The former group was the majority though. After all, the only winner in a casino was the casino house itself. The probability of winning in a casino was no higher than winning a lottery.At this moment, a hubbub was brewing before the baccarat table. A young man had won ten games in a row. A mountain of chips was piled before him. The people gathered around the man were cheering him on.This young man was Samuel Hannigan; Johann was by his side, cold sweat perspiring down his brow.They would definitely attract the casino house’s attention if they continued to win like this. I

Blake did not know what was going on, but Johann saw everything very clearly. His expression was frozen—clearly from being frightened to death.Blake Coleman’s underlings were like ragdolls before Samuel Hannigan. They did not stand a chance and had all been wiped out in seconds.He… Was Samuel even human?“Did I say you could leave?” an icy voice rang at Blake’s ear.He dipped his head, terror seizing his body. He spotted Samuel in his peripheral vision. He did not dare to believe his eyes.“Samuel Hannigan, what the f*ck do you think you’re doing? The entire Sue family is dead if you dare to provoke me. What more you?” Blake said.“Take me to see Manfred or you’re dead,” Samuel answered, tone frosty.“How dare you?!”Samuel slowly tightened his grip around his neck. Panic finally seeped into Blake’s eyes when he felt that it was getting harder to breathe.“You— Let me go first! I’ll take you there,” Blake said.“Let’s go.”The three of them left the VIP room. Blake’s underlings slowl

Back in the house.Yvonne felt restless after Samuel left. As the hours slowly ticked past, she lay on the bed, unable to drift into sleep.She clutched onto her phone. She watched the seconds trickling into minutes. It turned eleven all too soon.Usually, she would be asleep by now, since she would go for her morning jog the next day. Why did her eyelids refuse to close then?At that moment, Yvonne realized that Samuel was a part of her life that she could not lose. Even though he only slept on the floor, he held such an important place in her heart.She wanted to call him and ask when he would be coming back, but he did make it clear that he had something to do before he left the house. Yvonne did not want to pester him.Just like that, she stayed awake the whole night. The sky just began to break into dawn when Yvonne finally heard the clicking of the door. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.Samuel had never expected to be held up the entire night. He tiptoed in

“Mom, what should I do now? They won’t make me pay, right?” Steven said, his voice small.Flora looked at Samuel. She could not let her son take responsibility for this. Anyway, Samuel was a fly in the Sue family. It would be no problem to pin the blame on him.“I need to pick Yvonne up from her office. Why don’t you go up first?” Samuel said at this moment.Ferdinand’s face contorted in fury. Where was his courtesy when treating guests? He wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by his wife. “Go on them. Don’t be late.”Ferdinand stared at Flora with suspicion. What was with the sudden personality change? Where was the logic in being abandoned when they were visiting guests?“What are you doing, Flora? Why aren’t you making that good-for-nothing b*stard take us up?” Ferdinand asked her after Samuel drove off.“How can we pin the blame on him if he doesn’t leave?” Flora said, smiling. “Don’t say a single word when we get up there. Let me do the talking.”The family headed upsta
