The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 164

Yvette was really firm, saying, "No way! I need this to turn my life around; I can't let it go!"

Lago was clearly frustrated. He said, "Foolish! What's the point of getting into the entertainment industry? You'll just end up putting yourself out there and trying to please everyone on camera. Cash out your money. If anything happens to the Nelson family, you can still count on us!"

Yvette laughed coldly and replied, "I only rely on myself. Then she hung up on him before he could say anything else.

Lago was left feeling really annoyed. A staff member at the exchange window looked at him and asked, "Mr. Smith, do you still want to exchange?"

Lago gritted his teeth and just walked away, scowling. Someone behind him muttered, "Penny-pincher." Lago turned around, took off his gold watch, and slammed it down on the counter, saying, "Cash out!"

A little while later, Lago was wandering through the fancy casing. He watched the gamblers at the tables-some were celebrating their wins while others were sulking over their losses, their faces showing all kinds of emotions.

He was holding a stack of chips he had grabbed in a moment of impulse, but he hesitated. That gold watch was his last valuable thing, if he lost it, he'd have nothing left.

Feeling down, Lago was about to leave when he heard a commotion by the back door. A group of security guards was beating up a young guy who was curled up on the ground, trying to protect himself.

Stop pretending you're innocent, you little brat! You're always winning; if you're not cheating, then who is?" one guard yelled. Another added, "How dare you come here to swindle us? We'll finish you off!" After letting out their anger, the guards finally left. The guy lay there motionless for a long time.

Lago noticed him and walked over. He looked at the man's dirty clothes and extended a hand, asking softly. "Are you alright!"

The guy slowly lifted his head, revealing a face covered in dirt and blood, making him look unrecognizable. His eyes were full of humility and caution, like a scared bird.
