Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 527 Gossip (Part Two)

Without enough time to think carefully, Molly clicked the post. Holding her breath, she looked through it quickly. Before reading the comments, she already got so angry that her whole body was trembling.

The post read that a woman whose last name is Xia only graduated until high school. They said that Xia had a father who was addicted to gambling so she had to take many jobs to support her family, including in some special industries. After taking a job at this one company, she became involved with the wealthy man who owned the company she worked for. The wealthy man was apparently in another relationship which made Xia the other woman. Eventually, the wealthy man broke things off with Xia leading her to flee to another country where she would meet Spark. They started a relationship that would last a few years. Xia would cheat on Spark which would lead to Spark's one-year hiatus. Xia got back together with another wealthy and powerful man and broke up with Spark. Spark was heartbroken and attempted to hang himself. He was currently at the hospital recovering.

Several photos were attached in the post; including a photo of Spark playing the violin in his bedroom wetly and a photo of Spark plugged into machine at the hospital. Both photos didn't look so clear, though.

But people loved gossip. It was natural for people to just connect the dots on their own, even if they didn't align with the truth. Once a piece of gossip was spread, someone would always have something say about that then someone responded to that opinion and the chain continued. It never really ended because people liked to talk about other people. In addition to that, "Extremely Crazy" was a forum for complaints where a lot of people often pulled out all the stops just to get a story. That was the reason why the post had so many click rates not to mention that it had been republished by other top gossip websites in no more than a few hours.

Everybody loved to know celebrities and billionaires scandals. So it was no surprise that the exposed love story of Spark, who was dubbed as a violin genius, had attracted so many people.

Molly just got angrier and angrier as she read through the comments one by one. They were all saying so many cruel things about her: some were just there to linger, some cursed her for being a third party, some verbally abused her for hurting Spark. Finally, after having read through dozens of pages of comments, she found her squealer: the person who spilled her name to the press and even provided a photo of her at Grand Night Casino years ago. The squealer actually said that Molly's own mother had been the third party to some other relationship.

Molly was trembling - she was too angry. As she stared at the screen reading through the comments, her eyes were starting to well up. She was being called so many names "shameless," "bitch," "third party," "homewrecker," and so many more.

Tears started to stream down her face that her vision was starting to blur. Finally, when she couldn't hold it in any longer, she took out her cellphone and dialed a number.

No one was answering her call, it just kept ringing.

Brian purposely didn't answer the call when he saw that it was Molly who had been calling. He was in a video call meeting at that time. He looked at the monitor in front of him and asked, "How much did we lose in total this time?"

"More than one billion, sir." Shane was pale as a sheet. In all the times he had played with this man, he had his own fair share of wins and losses. But, he knew that he would only win when the man gave in because he knew his way around the game. He was on another level of cheating. Shane was reminded of the God of Gamblers; this man was almost on the same level as him. However, the God of Gamblers had already retired - it was impossible to find him.

Brian's face remained expressionless, he asked, "What about the other casinos?"

"Nothing too serious happening there, just some slight hiccups that have already been taken cared of," Shane said solemnly. "The man hasn't showed up in the past few days, though. But if he does show up

again, I might not know how to deal with him anymore," he admitted.

"No," Brian said firmly, "He won't show up again. Chances are he's already got his eyes set on another casino. I want you to find out what that next casino is and make a deal with them. Go to QY Island and keep watch from there."

"Are you telling me to-"

"Mhm," Brian interrupted Shane before he could finish talking. While he wasn't sure himself, he thought it would be better to take precautionary measures for the time being. He couldn't risk something happening to the Casino because it might lead to a huge loss in the stock market and he wouldn't know what to do if that ever happened. This man who has been cheating their casino might have been targeting both him and Eric at the same time.

"Then, I..." Harrow trailed off.

"You'll be coming back, yes," Brian said flatly. "Since Spark is here, I think you must be absent-minded elsewhere."

"Mr. Brian, I..." Harrow wanted to say something but decided against it. He only agreed to Brian's orders.

Although everything was going smoothly in M Country, he was still worried about Spark. Because even though he worked for Brian and was therefore under Brian's direct command, Brian cared a lot about him and actually knew him quite well. It bode the same for Brian's other subordinates. Brian knew them well enough that he could tell what they were thinking and most of the time, he was right.

"Shawn, just stay there and find out everything you can about that man."

Shawn frowned at this, "Can't you send another person to do that because I want to go back to A City too."

"No," Brian said forcefully.

"You're doing this on purpose," Shawn accused Brian. He didn't want to stay there digging up dirt about some man. He wanted to go back to A City ever since he'd heard the news about Mark. He recalled that one time when he had taken Brian to hide away from Richie. The more he thought about that, the more he wanted to see Mark.

Brian's eyes dimmed, he smiled bitterly as he admitted, "I am doing this on purpose."

Shawn didn't mind Brian's honesty. He knew Brian very well so he knew that Brian must've been trying to hide because he was still trying to adjust now that Mark and Molly was around.

"Besides, I'm not at ease about that man. I don't trust anyone enough to do this. I fear that they won't find anything on him," Brian said gravely. He obviously had already heard of this man before probably from XK Intelligence Agency. He had outsmarted Brian's men and the Agency was one of the best in the world - how could he have done that?
