The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 165

Lago was absolutely thrilled. He had been gambling for ages, and the most he'd ever won was a few hundred or maybe thousand. But today was his best day ever.

People are greedy. When they win, they want to win more. If they lose, they want to gamble to win back their losses. Desires are truly endless.

But with Gideon by his side today, winning felt like a walk in the park. Still, Lago was worried about getting caught by the casino like Gideon did, so he decided it was best to take his winnings and head out. Once they were outside, Lago added Gideon as a friend on his phone. After thinking for a moment, he sent him a thousand

Gideon looked at the transfer notification on his phone, totally overwhelmed, and said, "Mr. Smith, you really don't have to give me money; this is your winnings, I don't...

Lago put a hand on his shoulder, beaming with joy and admiration. "Gideon, this money is yours. Without you, I wouldn't have won so much. You're my lucky star!"

He looked at Gideon like he was a precious treasure, and his happiness just kept growing. Gideon was still in shock, holding onto his old phone, which was cracked and barely working.

When I said no, he complained about me, and my boss fired me. He continued, "I can make some money delivering food, but working in the heat and cold, I'm putting in sixteen-hour days for very

linle pay. I deal with all kinds of insults from customers, and that money barely covers my family's medical bills; L... Lago sighed deeply, feeling for him, and sent a few hundred more to Gideon.

Gideon said, "Mr. Smith.. thank you. I thought today was going to be the worst; I lost money and even thought that if the security guards caught me, maybe it'd be better to just take a beating and leave some money for my family..."

Lo felt satisfied. "Gideon, this is just the start. How about we team up? You help me win at the casino, and I'll help with

family's medical costs. What
