Gigi was panicking. She had embezzled $9,000,000 and put in $6,000,000 now. She was only left with $3,000,000. If her elder brother were to find out, he would break her legs directly.Michael was anxious as well. He had wanted to win with technique, but why the f*ck did he encounter someone who played with determination instead of technique today? No matter how skilled he was, what could he do when Javier refused to touch the cards? Technique could not fight determination at all.For his $4,500,000 laid on the table, Michael turned to Gigi and whispered harshly, “Transfer me the money!”Gigi looked troubled as she replied in an equal whisper, “I don’t have any more. I only have $3,000,000 now. I thought he was putting up an act, that $10,500,000 was about it. Who knew he’d throw in another $6,000,000? This is going over $10,000,000 now. Where would I get so much money from?”Michael wished to break Gigi over his leg more than ever like he would break a bamboo. Was she tricking him?

Leaving the casino, Javier went to the car with Mackenzie. The moment Javier opened the door, Gigi rushed up furiously like a frenzied b*tch.Javier scoffed at the sight of the disheveled Gigi. “What? Learned a new skill? Becoming a sticky chewing gum now?”Gigi stayed in the seat and shouted, “I don’t care. The money’s mine. You have to return it to me!”“Tch, tch. Not bad, huh? You’re getting cranky with me now?”Javier went to the trunk and pulled the side panel open to retrieve the car jack. Going back to the car, he gestured for Mackenzie to drive and told Gigi, “Okay, since you want to play, we’ll play something exciting tonight. You sit on the car jack, and I’ll make you have fun.”Gigi was terrified. She had been under the impression Javier would not hurt her since their grandfathers knew each other, but she realized her grandfather was nothing in Javier’s eyes. There was no favor to be done.She wanted to jump out of the car because Javier was already installing the jack

Of course, Javier was only messing with Luca. There was no way he would be serious with him over something so trivial.Speeding away, they finally arrived at Easton Group’s headquarters.Luca was mumbling away downstairs as though he wanted to say something. Javier was able to see through all of his thoughts with a single glance. “Since it’s not going to be convenient for you to talk to your father, forget it. All you have to do is convey a message to me. It doesn’t matter whether he decides to meet me or not. The Panganis’ future solely depends on your family’s capabilities, nothing else.”Luca did indeed want Javier to meet his father since the latter had instructed over and over again that he wanted to meet Javier should the opportunity arise.However, now that Javier had said this, Luca could not muster up the courage to say anything further.Javier said, “This is a good thing. Otherwise, how are you going to be able to communicate with me if your old man treats me politely?

Thorin’s sudden performance managed to catch Harold’s attention. As such, Harold began to become slightly interested in Javier. More accurately, he was interested in seeing how Thorin would drive Javier down to the ground like he was nothing.Thus, he asked Thorin, “Hey, Thorin. What’s the country bumpkin done to get you all excited?”“It’s nothing much, actually. But this country bumpkin here has a pretty girlfriend, and believe me, she’s f*cking perfect! She’s beautiful, has good curves, and has this unique temperament that really pulls on your heartstrings whenever you see her. You have no idea how many times I had to look for women to vent my frustration because of her, Harold!“Let me put it this way, I still feel this huge urge inside of me whenever I think of her, and I want to have my way with her!”Harold became interested in Thorin’s introduction and looked at Javier curiously. “Hey, country bumpkin. Do you have any photos of that beautiful woman Thorin just mentioned?

Stone could not be bothered to explain what he had just done to cause Thorin’s confusion.Instead, he directly said to Harold, “Remember to clear up all of the debt you claimed you were going to settle before you get the f*ck out of here. You declared that all of the expenses here tonight would be on you, so go get it settled at the counter. If you don’t, I’ll make sure you have it settled at your house!”Stone was a member of the circle, so of course, he did not mean it when he said he would head up to Harold’s doorstep to settle his bill.Thus, as much as Harold was unhappy about his situation and how confused he was, he could only suppress the anger he felt and walk out of the room under the public’s gaze. Most importantly, he still had to pay off the expenses of everyone there that night, to which most of them had a hand in laughing at him.There was someone who was even shameless enough to head up to the counter!“Hey Harold, I’ll do you a favor. Get me ten bottles of Remy Ma
