Chapter 1881 The Confrontation at Eighth Casino (1)
He pulled a long face and alighted from the car.
They looked at each other and lowered their heads at the same time. Hudson didn't even know how he got off the car. He followed Elijah, not even daring to breathe.
In the restaurant, they had dinner. Elijaho was obviously in a bad mood. Unlike his usual elegant and calm movements, his actions that day seemed to be affected by his mood. He knocked on the plates several times, making banging sounds and frowning more than once.
The food tasted like nothing as Hudson chewed mindlessly. He didn't even dare to speak during the meal. He ate a mouthful of white rice, and before he could put the rice into his mouth, he suddenly heard a light "bang" and his body trembled out of reflex. Hudson watched as the bite he was about to take fell by the plate onto the table. Opposite him, Elijah threw down his cutlery, took out a paper towel, and wiped his hand.
"This is terrible!"
Hudson couldn't help swallowing and putting down his cutleries as well. "What's going on today? What blind idiot offended him? He can't even have a good meal!"
When Elijah stood up, Hudson hurriedly grabbed a tissue. He looked at the delicious dishes on the table reluctantly before chasing after Elijah.
The moment they entered Eighth Casino, the server greeted them warmly. "Mr. Luther, Mr. Forbes."
Soon, the manager of the casino came over and led them around. From time to time, he reported the work and listened to various instructions. After making one round, Elijah's face was much better, He was quite satisfied with the management and order of the venue.
"I see!"
The manager looked at Hudson with a cold sweat and then pointed to a crowded side of the room which had a hanging curtain.
"Mr. Luther, Area C and Area E are our newly added poker areas. Each area has six tables. Area D has been reduced to act as a service area for drinks. Area F has been set up as two slightly larger private rooms. Space efficiency and utilization were considered in every layout. For now, it is in a semi-enclosed form. Several foreign rich merchants are at table A of Area F. Table B has been reserved by Mr. Holmes over a phone call. He specifically booked this quiet room. He said that the young master of D&C Group was going to entertain some friends, so he made a reservation in advance!"
"Aydin?" What kind of nasty crowd was he bringing in this time?
The manager nodded and replied respectfully,
"Yes! It's all young men. The young master is also here. He is very generous and likes to come here to have fun. He brings women along too. In fact, he always chooses the prettiest servers as well"
"As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, he can do as he pleases!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elijah looked at the corner again and said, "Forget it. I'll go over and sit down. You don't have to follow me around anymore. Go and do your work!"
"Yes, sir!"
The manager bowed and then left.
On the other hand, during the past few days, Carolien had also been hard at work figuring out Elijah's schedule. But after all, they were from two different worlds. Even if she tried everything she could, it wasn't nearly enough to reach him. There was nothing she could do. She could only start with the only place she could be sure of, Eighth Casino. She hoped that he might be having a meeting there. So, every day, she would come in and walk around, and wait for a bit.
Eighth Casino was known as the best casino in Casterwich City. It was large and heavily guarded. There were no strict requirements or restrictions on entering, but there were a lot of rules inside. Because it was a high-end entertainment venue, whether it was a game or a gamble, the bets all started in the thousands. Those who did not enter the game could watch it for free as long as they did not break the rules, but they could only stand. Whether standing or walking, it was pretty torturous, especially for someone like her who was wearing high heels. It was an extremely challenging test.
On that day, she strolled around the casino again. Carolien was also very depressed. She was too tired to stand, so she went to the bathroom.
When she came out, she felt very defeated. She sighed, "Alas, another waste of my time..."
"Elijah, oh, Elijah. When are you going to drop by? Aren't you worried about such a huge establishment? You won't even come to take a look. If you don't come soon, that tiny impression I tried so hard to leave will be completely forgotten!" She drooped her head and prayed quietly as she headed to the door. When she turned around inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the towering figure in a corner. He was like a shining star amongst the crowd. At this time, he was whispering to Hudson with a cold look, looking as moody as he usually was. But in Carolien's eyes, he still appeared God-like. In an instant, her eyes brightened
as she straightened her back. She almost jumped up on the spot.
"Damn it!"
"Elijah! Has God finally heard my prayers?"
She felt like she had been struck by lightning. In a hurry, she chased after the hidden figure. The two of them entered an independent room on the inside. Remembering something, Carolien turned around and ran to the bathroom. Facing the mirror, she straightened out her clothes and sprayed some perfume on her body. She also added a gorgeous shade of red lipstick to her lips and rubbed her lips together. In the corner of her eyes, she dabbed on some highlighter. With a satisfied smile, she turned around and went out. Her dark eyes were shining.
At this time, in the private room, when Elijah appeared, the atmosphere turned much livelier.
Several of them were chatting idly and drinking wine. Someone suggested, "Hey, don't just sit there! Since you're here, why don't you play a few rounds? Elijah, do you want to play poker or blackjack?"
Looking up, Aydin suddenly said, "Aren't we already set up for poker?"
Feeling a little annoyed, Elijah did not reject. "Alright! Let's play a few rounds then?"
Elijah threw a look at Hudson who immediately replied, "I'll go exchange for chips!"
A waiter was beckoned over. After giving a few orders, Hudson walked aside.
Elijah didn't sit in the main seat. He chose a seat with his back facing the door. Aydin and Alfred sat by his sides. Sitting opposite him was Mr. Dion, who was younger and had a childlike face.
The poker table for four was very luxurious and equipped with comfortable massage chairs. The seats were very spacious, and
around the four legs were found ne
mobile tables, which were
convenient for ordering food and drinks. After the four people sat down, because there were also female companions and assistants, they pushed away the mobile drinks table and replaced it with four simple square stools.
As soon as the game started, the atmosphere at the table changed drastically.
After a few rounds, Elijah's luck was noticeably better. It was a massacre. Before the other players could even see their cards, Elijah laid his cards out on the table.
"Sorry but I have a royal flush!"
"Damn it!"
With a scream, the young child on the opposite side could not sit still anymore. "Elijah, must you be like this? At least leave some for the rest of us."
Alfred shook his head and threw out his chips. He couldn't help sighing. "A blunder! What a blunder! I shouldn't have let you sit down!"
Asking the head of the casino to gamble with them was just asking for trouble, wasn't it?
At the door, Carolien popped her head out and witnessed this exciting scene. Looking at his fingertips gently moving, he seemed to be thinking of something. It was almost as if he had the magic to move mountains. For a moment, Carolien was deeply attracted by the clean and slender palm.
It seemed like this man was quite capable!
They were all anxious as they focused their full attention on the game. No one paid attention to Carolien, who had just walked in or had not seen her. Even the ones who saw her just assumed she was one of the female companions. After another round, Aydin couldn't help but slap his head in annoyance. "My luck stinks!"
He had drawn another bad hand.
On the other side, Alfred looked up and glared at him, "You think?"
As he turned his eyes, Carolien appeared behind Elijah and Aydin. He was shocked and thought, "No way. Did Elijah bring a female companion along too?" Before he came to his senses, Aydin's cell phone suddenly rang. Since he was back facing her, he did not see Carolien behind him. He grabbed the phone and stood up directly.
"I've got to take this call. Which one of you wants to replace me for a few rounds and help me turn my luck around?"
At this moment, on the opposite side, the similarly miserable Mr. Dion also said, "This won't do. Let's change our seats! We have to take Elijah down!" While speaking, the three of them stood up. Aydin was about to grab someone. When he looked up, he saw a gorgeous woman's face. He was stunned. At this time, he raised his hand and said hello. Carolien had already taken his place.
"May I have this honor?"
As if having been struck by lightning, Elijah's face suddenly darkened. Hudson was stunned. Everyone's eyes were all focused on her. Aydin glanced sideways at the man beside him.
Many people present did not
recognize Carolien. However, it was undeniable.how gorgeous she was She was wearing a red two-piece.
skirt. With her snow-white skin clean face, slim figure, and black hair coupled with her big black eyes and sexy red lips, she looked like a blooming flower under the light. She was so beautiful that the younger ones in the room almost dropped their jaws to the floor.
"Willy, she's such a beautiful lady... Is she your girlfriend? Aren't you going to
introduce her?"
"Cough, cough."
Aydin almost choked to death. He hurriedly left his seat and slipped away. "I'll take a call!"
The crowd got up and shifted their seats clockwise. Seeing no one making a sound, Carolien sat down directly. With this movement, she occupied the main seat directly. Looking at this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Was this woman crazy? Ignoring the fact that she came here uninvited and that she was playing poker with a group of men, Elijah hadn't even sat down yet. None of the men had

her

What do you think?
