She could hear Piggy playing by herself and mumbling something under the blanket, but a few minutes later, she was quiet and fast asleep.
The sight of her daughter’s calm sleeping face gave her a sense of calmness inside her heart as well.
At the Orchid Private Club
In Carlos’ VIP room, a group of wealthy men leisurely played mahjong amongst themselves. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNiles drew a mahjong tile from the wall. A big smile crept across his face as he laid his hand of tiles on the table.
“Seven Pairs*, I win!” he exclaimed excitedly.
(#IN: Seven Pairs is one of the winning hands of mahjong game.)
Five minutes later, Damon picked up the White Dragon* tile that Carlos had discarded and completed a set. He stood up and said, “Hey, guys, I win!”
(*TN: The White Dragon tile is the one with a blue frame.)
Another five minutes Later, Curtis showed his hand of tiles with a smug look on his face and said, “I’m sorry guys, but I win this round.”
Carlos kept losing to the other three men. His mood went from bad to worse faster than a cat Lapping chain Lightning.
His face contorted in displeasure as he finished up his red wine with one gulp and tossed the chips on the table.
Niles Looked at him in utter disbelief.
“Carlos, this is at least three hundred thousand dollars. Are you out of your mind?”
Carlos cast a cold glance at him and said, “What are you-a chicken?”
He tried to goad Niles into playing, and it worked. Without wasting another second, Niles tossed the chips on the table and said, “Countin.”

Wesley kicked Damon’s leg hard under the table almost immediately.
Shrugging his shoulders, Damon gave him an embarrassed smile and shut his mouth.
“Wait! Debbie reported that I organized a gambling session before?”
Carlos asked curiously.
Damon put on a fake smile and answered, “Yeah! We were just hanging about like this, but then your ex-wife called the police on us for gambling.”
“Wow! Debbie seems great! At least she was brave enough to treat the four richest young men in Alorith with disrespect!” Niles exclaimed.
Wesley kicked him as well, and Niles fell silent unwillingly.
