NovelEnglishHe had put on such trendy clothes, so naturally, | should not underdress. Therefore, | picked a black halter dress,
paired it with a pair of high heels, and put on slightly cool-toned makeup.
| stood beside Theo and looked into the mirror. Very nice. We looked really well-matched.
He looked at my exposed shoulders and back and frowned slightly. "Put on a jacket."
"No, it's not cold outside."
Theo did not say anything else and went to the wardrobe to look for a jacket with a look of displeasure. He then
forcedto put it on.
| did not try to argue. He had a good sense
of fashion and picked one that matched the dress.
It was my first tin a casino, so my nerves were taut.
My impression of the casino cfrom TV shows. | thought that it would be a foulsmelling, smoky, and terrifying
place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn fact, it was not wrong to think so. The casino was indeed full of people who had lost their sense of reason and
were going against each other for money.
Theo sensed my anxiety and put his arm around my shoulders, saying a little helplessly, "Don't be nervous.
There are many people here, and not many will take notice of you. Just take it as though you're going to a pub."
| nodded, but I still could not stop myself from feeling nervous.
It was only when | entered the casino and realized that what | was seeing was completely different from what |
imagined did | finally ease up.
The place was adorned with high-end atmospheric decorations. It was a crowded yet less noisy environment.
Although there was still the inevitable smell of smoke, it did not affect the elegance of this place. There were
many gambling tables on the first floor, each with a lot of gambling chips and beautiful women distributing
cards.
I did not know about these things, so I took a rough look and followed Theo to the second floor.
The second floor was full of private rooms. An attendant clad in a black and white uniform led us into a private
room with a gambling table surrounded by leather sofas. There were two people gambling against each other at
the table.
Seeing Theo cin, the young man sitting on the main seat of the sofa got up and walked toward him with a
face full of smiles. "I finally get to meet you, Mr. Grant."
After a simple greeting, | got to know that this man was Tory Zimmerson, Harold Zimmerson's grandson. He was
the one who ran the casino. Because of his unique and eccentric way of doing things, there were many rumors
about him outside.
Tory leaned on the sofa and talked to Theo for a long tbefore looking atand saying with a slight smile,
"Your wife looks absolutely stunning. It's understandable why you bring a fine woman like her everywhere you
go, Mr. Grant."
Theo smiled with a gentle look on his face." | feel more at ease with her by my side."
Why did it sound like a romantic talk?
Tory's laughter rang out. "You don't feel at all bad for publicly displaying your affection in front of me, huh, Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrant? Since your wife is here, why not give my 200 million dollar rummy table a try and see how it feels?"
| quickly looked at Theo for help.
1 did not even know how to play rummy, not to mention anything else.
Theo smirked and held my hand. We got up and walked to the 200 million dollar table as claimed by Tory. He
pressed something, and a few rummy tiles appeared on the table.
At this moment, several beautiful ladies walked in with trays in their hands that carried colorful chips.
Tory looked atand raised his eyebrows, asking, "How do you plan to play this, Wanda?"
| looked at Theo again for help.
Before Theo could say anything, Tory said," You can't cling to your man like glue, Wanda. He won't be able to do
anything else, and your life as a rich wife won't last too long."
Although his words were unpleasant, | knew Theo was here not only to see Tory. He also had something else to
do. It would not be convenient for him to do anything if | kept following him everywhere.
