Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 609

"Worthless deadbeat, you dare gamble without money?"

"Pay back the tens of thousands you owe us, or we'll take your life!"

Despite being beaten bloody, the man lying on the ground still begged pitifully, "Please stop! Lend me just a thousand more! Just one thousand! I'll win it all back, I promise, and pay you immediately!"

The suited man looked away and approached the table, the thick smoke making him uncomfortable.

The manager smirked and made several hand signals behind his back. His men immediately understood and moved closer.

They exchanged glances. They had expected to fleece him badly, but to their surprise, he'd won fifteen consecutive rounds, totaling fifty thousand!

The man, seemingly satisfied with his winnings, prepared to leave.

The manager wasn't about to let him walk away so easily. He approached. "Leaving after winning so much? That's rather impolite, isn't it?"

"What do you want?" the man asked expressionlessly.

The manager raised an eyebrow. "Play a few more rounds with me?"

The man shook his head resignedly and leaned closer to the manager. "I know you won't let me just take this money. How about I leave it here, and you let me take someone with me?"

"Who?"

The man pointed to the badly beaten figure in the corner. "I want to take him."

"Fine. He's off the hook this time." The manager waved, and his men immediately dispersed.

The suited man helped the battered gambler out of the den. The latter was so swollen and bruised he could barely open his eyes.

She pondered the factory situation. Manager Sun was a dead end. She'd need to work through Mr. Lambert, or failing that... Charlie Wesler.

Charlie seemed like a small-minded fool, which might make him a potential weak point.

Her phone rang - it was Melvin.

"Sasa, I'm coming tonight to take you home," he said in a tone that brooked no argument. Mr. Lambert must have told him what happened.

"Cousin! Please don't come," Sarah protested. "I've only been here two days and haven't solved anything yet. There's no reason to leave now!"

"You caught a cold from the rain a few days ago, and now you've been caught in another storm. I heard people died in that rain. I'm coming to get you right now!" Melvin was already heading for his car.

"Cousin! Even if you come, I absolutely won't go back with you! My father put his heart and soul into this factory. How can I abandon it in this state? I have to get it running again," Sarah said firmly.
