Deceived into a grim situation by chance, Sid was clever and sensitive to money, but those willing to exploit him for profit did not hesitate to use force.

They compelled him to learn and participate in scam schemes.

When he was finally rescued, he was gaunt, his body marred by numerous scars and fresh blisters—a result of the brutal abuse he endured for refusing to comply with their criminal plans.

Recalling the first time she saw Sid-trapped in a dark, damp place, his eyes squinting painfully at the light -Charmaine sighed, "Well, I guess I'll have to ask you for help."

Sid responded with a string of playful emojis, "Thank you, Charmaine!"

Charmaine could not help but chuckle at the response.

When Emyr emerged from the bathroom, he caught her smiling at her phone.

Seeing her laugh after their argument made his mood sour even more.

His eyes darkened as he watched her.

Irritated, he purposely maneuvered his wheelchair closer and accidentally knocked her phone with his elbow.

Charmaine looked up at him, but Emyr did not meet her gaze, instead curtly saying, “Hurry up and turn off the lights and go to sleep."

"I'm going to wash up," she quickly hid her phone and escaped into the bathroom.

Emyr watched her leave, a complex look in his eyes.

He found himself recalling Kane's words, "Don't you want Charmaine to love not just your body but your soul?"

Did he want that?

Absurdly, he realized he did.

Emyr shook his head, dismissing the ridiculous thought that had just crossed his mind.

He then angrily sent a voice message to Tad, "Starting tomorrow, Kane is not allowed back here to cause more trouble."

Tad replied, "Yes, Mr. Emyr."

Over the next few weeks, Bennett and Cash made regular trips to the casino.

Each visit seemed to magically boost their bank account by tens or even hundreds of thousands.

However, their lucky streak caught the attention of the casino manager, Julius Pimms, who approached Bennett one day with a friendly yet cautious tone.

"Mr. Read, you've been quite lucky lately. Every visit seems to end in significant wins."

Cash instinctively stepped back, while Bennett, feeling a rush of guilt, masked it with confidence.

"Mr. Pimms, people win and lose here all the time. Why single me out? There were days I lost millions here and nobody batted an eye."

His voice grew louder with feigned indignation, "Back when I was losing big, no one was concerned. Why now?"

Julius maintained his polite smile. "True, you've had your share of losses, but your recent winnings far outweigh those. It's quite remarkable, really."

Bennett bristled, "Are you suggesting I'm cheating?"

Before Julius could reply, Bennett continued, "You think I'm desperate? My daughter, tied to the wealthy Nelson family, mixes with the elites of Eragos. Do you really think I care about a few million from your casino?"

Julius hurriedly apologized, "I didn't mean any disrespect, Mr. Read. I was merely commenting on your good fortune. Please accept my apologies.”

Bennett scoffed, "If I couldn't afford to lose, I wouldn't bother with your casino chain. It's hardly worth my

time!"

With that, he stormed off with Cash, their departure quick and tense.

They caught a taxi outside, both exhaling in relief once they were seated.

Cash looked up at Bennett in awe. "Mr. Bennett, that was impressive! You really put the manager in his place."noveldrama

Bennett nonchalantly dismissed the praise, basking in the glow of his flattery. "Just a small showdown, nothing to fret over."
