Return of the Crowned Heiress

Chapter 121

For someone already prone to gambling, the taste of victory only fueled Shawn's addiction further.

However, as time passed, his winning streak dwindled. Each time he lost, he would pound the table in frustration, desperate to win back his losses. Each time he regained a portion of his money, his greed would drive him to want even more. Day after day, the 50 million dollars he had was quickly squandered away. Shawn was utterly blinded by his losses.

"Do you want to turn things around? How about I lend you some money? You know the contract well-just sign here," Lance said, tossing a pen and a tempting stack of cash in front of Shawn.

Of course, Shawn wanted to make a comeback, so he didn't hesitate to sign the contract Lance offered and successfully secured the funds.

It started with one million dollars, then two million dollars. Eventually, it escalated to ten and even 20 million dollars.

Even when the casino staff kicked him out, Shawn was still trapped in his delusions and shouted, "Let me play one more hand! I can definitely turn things around!"

"You can only turn things around after you pay back what you owe," Lance said, puffing on a cigarette as he tossed a stack of contracts onto the table in front of Shawn.

In just under a month, he and Shawn had become chummy. But today, he said, "Who do you think you are, calling me your best friend?"

With that, Lance kicked him hard. "Best friend, my ass!"
