Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 147 You Broke Your Promise (Part Two)

Jason then smiled and turned to Shirley,"Please, follow me. Our boss is upstairs."

All eyes followed Jason and the two ladies into the elevator. As the elevator doors shut, the people in the casino wondered who the woman was. Some of the regulars thought that Shirley might have been one of the queens of the casino years ago.

Of course, the discussion in the casino did not bother Shirley. She was more interested in finding out what Jason's boss had in mind at that moment.

Molly had only served in the VIP room for one day when she had been working there, so she was not quite familiar with the room.

Shirley comforted Molly by patting her hands,"Everything is gonna be fine. Don't worry."

Molly nodded nervously. She was not really afraid of Brian anymore. All her pride had gone out the window when she admitted that she was his woman in front of that many people in the mall. It was humiliating to even think about it.

Molly sighed. She looked around and heard the other end of the VIP room being opened by a waiter from the inside. Someone inside the room caught her eye.

"What's wrong, Little Molly?" Shirley followed Molly's gaze. The door had already been closed and she couldn't see who was inside.

This time, Molly was sure who the man was. She was overwhelmed by anger. "Aunt Shirley, give me a minute."

Shirley did not have the time to react or reply as Molly hastily strode towards the door. The waiter panicked as he saw her going for the door of the VIP room. "Miss, you can't-" But Molly ignored the waiter and pushed the door open.

The members were in the middle of a game. Two men were sitting on opposite ends of the green flannel table. Molly didn't bother to look at the man on the left. Her attention was wholly on the man on the right and she was about to explode.

"Molly..." Steven called slowly, surprised. He wasn't expecting to see Molly there at all.

Molly shouted at Steven furiously,"What are you doing here?"

"Miss, I am sorry, but you need to leave now!" the waiter interrupted.

Molly glared at him and shook off the hands that were trying to grab her. She started to walk towards the table to confront Steven, but was stopped by the waiter again.

"Miss, the game is still on. No one is allowed to interrupt the game unless both parties agree to stop playing," a stern voice said from one end of the table.

Shirley had no idea what was happening or who Steven was, but she couldn't just stand and watch Molly get hurt right in front of her.

Molly looked up at the table and spotted the bodyguard who had spoken. He was very intimidating. She was so disappointed to see Steven at the game table. She remarked in anguish,"Why are you here? You promised me that you would never gamble again. Then why?"

Steven was sheepish, but he did not say a word.

"Are you dumb? I need an answer. Why are you in the casino again?" Molly shouted hysterically and tears had started to fall down her cheeks. She pushed aside the security in front of her and rushed forward. But soon, she was held back and a huge hand grabbed her by her shoulders.

"Let her go!"

"Let her go!"

two voices roared simultaneously. One was Shirley's angry voice and the other voice was as cold as the arctic.

Brian's wrath spread across his whole body when he saw the guard grab Molly forcefully. While everyone in the room wondered why there was more interruption, he spoke in a vehement tone,"Who gave you permission to touch her?"

Only a few people in The Grand Night Casino knew Brian's identity. Unfortunately for the guard, he wasn't one of them.

"She tried to interrupt an ongoing game and broke the rules of the Grand Night Casino. It is my job to stop her," the guard replied.

Molly struggled to get out of the guard's grasp, but he was too strong for her frail body. She glared furiously at Steven as if she was all but ready to tear him apart.

Shirley couldn't bear it any longer. She did not care about any rules of the casino. "Let her go! NOW! You do not want to face my rage," she warned him.

The guard was struck by Shirley's vigor and let go of Molly subconsciously. Shirley immediately pulled Molly over to her side and ignored Brian. She turned to Molly and asked,"Little Molly, who is that man?"

Molly sniffed in pain and tears swirled in her eyes. She gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her grief and disappointment. Then she answered,"He is my father."

Shirley frowned. Although she had already thought about that possibility, she still felt a sense of uneasiness when she heard Molly say it.

Brian walked into the room with his hands in his pockets. He stopped in front of the guard. His eagle eyes swept menacingly over him.

The guard felt his imposing aura which was suffocating. He turned to Jason for orders.

Then he heard the cold voice again,"Take him away and chop his hand off."

Brian, at that moment, was like an incarnation of the pure-evil devil. Everyone in the room looked at him in disbelief, especially the guard.

The guard questioned his order,"What makes you think that you can do that to me?"

Brian didn't bother to look at the guard again. Jason sighed and ordered the guard to be taken away.

"Wait!" Molly tried to stop Jason. She was still very angry, but right then, it was not clear whether she was angry at Steven or Brian. "The guard did not do anything wrong. He was just doing his job. Why are you so cruel?"

Brian turned to look at Molly who was in a rage. He wondered how she could possibly look out for others while she was in a messed up situation herself. "I do not need a reason to do the things that I want to get done."

When Jason heard Brian's ultimatum, he knew that there was nothing he could do for the poor guard but to follow Brian's order. This kind of thing was already a normal scenario for him because he was the manager of the Grand Night Casino.

Molly was shivering in fury, but she felt powerless. In a country ruled by the law, how could someone do such cruel deeds without being punished? But she seemed to continue to become numb after what had happened last night.

Molly gnashed her teeth and held back her tears. She did not want to waste any time on Brian. She just wanted to know why her dad was there. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The minimum threshold to get into a VIP room was a million dollars. There was no way that her dad had that kind of money in hand.

But when Molly suspiciously looked into Brian's arctic eyes, she understood the situation a little more clearly. "Is this you? Did you set my father up?"

"Me?" Brian scoffed. "Any casino is in itself a set-up. Everyone knows how it works, but they just can't help themselves, Mol. Do you know why?"

Brian approached Molly and said in a whisper,"Once a man is addicted to gambling, there is no stopping him. Do you understand?"

Molly ground her teeth and desperately held back her tears. She couldn't believe that her dad would gamble again for such a huge amount of money.

It required millions of dollars worth of tokens to get into one of the VIP rooms. She knew that her dad could not have afforded that much.

"An hour ago, my dad was at the casino floor and now he is in a VIP room. You are the one behind this." Molly took a deep breath and tried to piece together the events that had happened an hour back. When she stepped into the casino, she had spotted her dad at the blackjack table. But when she was distracted by Shirley and Lynne, Brian's men took him away to the VIP room. Molly was filled to the brim with anger. She turned to Brian and asked,"What do you want from me?"
