Chapter 196: Zachary Gets Beaten Up

Julian touched on the very thing Genevieve feared most, something she thought had been perfectly resolved. Zachary had repaid the money for both of them; surely, there should be no further issues. Yet, to her shock, the last person she expected to bring it up was Julian!

Upon hearing about gambling, Grandpa Montgomery's face turned ashen. "When did this happen?"

"Grandpa, you didn't know? I heard it from a friend at the casino. Mr. Montgomery lost tens of millions a few days ago and even borrowed from loan sharks. I just wanted to remind you, it's best to steer clear of those who lend money at the casinos; it can bring big trouble."

Julian's feigned concern made Genevieve grind her teeth in anger; it was clear he was deliberately stirring up trouble. And yet, he still managed to appear utterly righteous! What was this, an Oscar team performance?

Hearing of his gambling, Magnus also grew angry. "Zachary, is this true?"

"Of... of course not," Genevieve interjected before Zachary could speak, preventing any rash comments. She didn't know how Julian came to know of this. But she couldn't let him make baseless accusations; he needed to provide proof, and who had seen Zachary gambling?

"Really? My friend even showed me the promissory note you signed; look." Julian opened his phone to show a photo.

"Let me see that." Grandpa Montgomery recognized Zachary's scrawled handwriting immediately. "Take a good look, is this your writing!" he demanded, thrusting the phone at Zachary.
