Bennett’s casual dismissal was infuriating. “This is hard work, kiddo. Dad’s gone bust, and to get back on his feet, he needs some capital, right? The quickest way to make money is right here.”

Leah clenched her teeth in frustration. “You’ve already dumped tens of thousands down the drain. If you had worked half as hard, you could’ve opened a store by now!”

Her reprimand did not hit home; if anything, Bennett was more stubborn.

“What’s a few tens of thousands? When my luck turns, I could make millions–maybe even billions–in one night. Then, I can truly start over!”

Delusional, indeed.

Leah took a deep breath. “I don’t have money. I just gave you 100,000 last week.”

Yet, Bennett was relentless. “Sweetie, you have a company now. Milo’s company is worth a lot. Just sell some

shares…”

Leah’s eyes flashed with anger.

This gambler was now aiming for her assets?

Absolutely not!

She stood her ground firmly. “No way! I need those assets to turn things around, I won’t touch them!”

Bennett sounded displeased on the other end. “You’re being foolish. What’s so great about the entertainment industry? Acting in front of a camera to entertain others. Just cash out now, if anything happens to the Nelsons in the future, you still have us to fall back on!”

Leah’s voice was icy as she replied, “I will only rely on myself.”

Without waiting for any more of Bennett’s pleas, she ended the call.

Fuming, Bennett stood at the casino’s chip exchange window.

The attendant glanced at him, a hint of pity in his eyes. “Mr. Read, exchanging more?”

Bennett, filled with a mix of anger and desperation, stormed off from the window.

Behind him, a bystander murmured, “Loser.”

Spinning around abruptly, Bennett tore off his gold watch and slammed it down on the counter. “Cash this out!”

Bennett wandered through the casino, his eyes scanning the crowd.

Excited shouts and groans of despair mingled as players either raked in their winnings or mourned their losses. The intense emotions, from exhilaration to desperation, painted the gamblers‘ faces.

Holding a stack of chips, Bennett paused, the weight of his last possession–a gold watch–heavy on his mind.

If he lost these chips, he would have nothing left.

Just then, a ruckus erupted near the back door.

Several security guards were beating up a young man who was curled up on the ground, silendy enduring their blows.

The guards yelled, “You claim you didn’t cheat, kid? Every time there’s a win, it’s you. If it’s not cheating, what is it then?

“If you’re that desperate, go steal somewhere else!” one guard shouted before they left the beaten man crumpled on the floor.

The man stayed still on the ground, bunched up into a ball.

Bennett glanced around and approached him.

Despite the man’s dirty, disheveled appearance, Bennett hesitated only briefly before softly asking, “Hey buddy, are you okay?”

The man slowly raised his head, revealing a face marred by mud and blood, unrecognizable.

His eyes, wary and humble, resembled those of a startled animal.

Bennett, showing kindness, drew a pack of tissues from his pocket and offered them, saying, “Clean yourself up.”

The man accepted the tissues with gratitude.
