Kendrick smiled and said, “I lose. I make no excuses. Can’t you afford to lose? In the past, you consistently won. Try
losing occasionally. There are always winners and losers in gmbling; if you cannot afford to lose, stop gmbling.”
Kenneth was speechless.
Kiera walked aside and sat down to count the money. After counting clearly, she handed half of the money to Silas
and said with a smile, “Silas, this is your money.”
Silas took half of the money, but soon he returned half of it. He said, “Sister Caron, I only paid $100, and I don’t
dare share it with you. I only need this much, and it’s enough for me. I’ve been having late-night snacks for the past
six months.”
Kiera said, “It’s given to you; just take it and save it yourself. Don’t let your stepmother know.”
When Silas was very young, his parents divorced, and he was given to his father. His father was a taciturn man.
After the divorce, he became even more taciturn and didn’t care much about Silas. He left Silas to be taken care of
by his grandparents.

taken back by his father. However, his stepmother was powerful, and Silas had a difficult life and was often beaten
severely by her stepmother.
He wanted to resist, but he was a child after all and couldn’t resist. Instead, he was beaten even more severely.
The father was busy working to make money and traveling frequently, so he paid little attention to Silas. He did not
know that Silas was severely beaten by his step-wife.
Silas’s aunt felt sorry for her nephew and filed a lawsuit on his behalf. However, her father often went on business
trips. When he was not at home, her stepmother would become even more aggressive. His aunt gritted her teeth
and paid for Silas to enroll in a martial arts class. So that his stepmother wouldn’t bully him, she wanted Silas to
stay active and pick up some boxing and kicking skills.
This study lasted for six years. Now Silas’s stepmother did not dare to beat him, so she treated Silas badly in terms
of money. Silas’s pocket money was not as much as that of his half-brother. After attending classes, he often went
to pick up some cartons and bottles. If he collects more, sell them for money and earn pocket money.
His father gave him $100 in pocket money when he got home from a business trip, and he kept it for midnight
snacks.
At his age, when he was growing, he ate a lot and got hungry easily.
It is said that a man born at a young age is poor.
He must have a midnight snack every night; otherwise, he would be too hungry to sleep.
“Sister Caron, I really took it!”
Kiera smiled and said, “It’s given to you; just take it and save it. If you need the money for your studies in the
future, you don’t have to ask your stepmother to get it.”
Silas said, “Now that I need money, I ask for it directly from my dad. When she finds out, she doesn’t dare do
anything to me when she gets angry. At most, she will quarrel with my dad.”
Silas studied at the Caron family Martial Arts Gym for six years and was able to resist his stepmother well enough.
Without the Caron family’s Martial Arts Gym’s emphasis on martial ethics, even if he became stronger, he would
not be able to beat his stepmother violently with his skills. Anyway, now his stepmother would not dare attack him

Because the coach took a group of fellow students to his home and warned his stepmother.
“Stay with it for a few more years, and when you become an adult, you can move out of your home when you are
able.”
Julian was most impressed by this student, Silas. Haha, he just said he wanted to call him brother-in-law.
After listening to the conversation between the two people, Julian probably knew Silas’s situation and promised:
“Silas, you study hard and practice hard. When you become an adult, graduate, and can’t find a job, you can come
to me at any time, and I will help you arrange work.”
“Thank you, Mr. Bucham. Mr. Bucham, you are my idol.” Silas smiled and thanked him. He took the thousands of
dollars he had won and happily joined the group of fellow apprentices to show off.
“This kid has a future.” Julian said something to Kiera.
Kiera asked him, “How much money did you bet in total just now? Please give the money back to you.”
“No, I made a bet and lost. If I lose, I lose. If you return the money to me, will you also return the bet they made?
Otherwise, it’s not fair.”
