Chapter 13

Bob scrambled to apologize with a few of his buddies.

Anthea didn’t hold a grudge and turned to Nanson. “Uncle Nanson, let’s get out of here.”

“Okay.” Nanson promptly followed Anthea’s lead.

As they walked, Anthea glanced at Nanson. “How much did we rake in tonight?”

“It’s all here.” Nanson immediately pulled out his wallet and handed all the cash to Anthea.

After Nanson handed over the money, it dawned on him. Why was he so obedient to Anthea?

It was a strange feeling, almost instinctive.

Anthea counted quickly, a blur of fingers revealing over fifteen thousand bucks..

She was so fast that Nanson barely had time to process before she finished counting.
