Chapter 550
With a bright smile, Alicia spoke.
"Did you think that I would poison him? I'm not stupid. His life is not as valuable as mine. Don't worry, I won't mess around. Hey, is there any progress with the casino? Did you find anything?"
"That's simple. There are many casinos like this, but it's the Luther family's territory. We call it Eighth Casino. It's located at Brighton Lane No. 8, so it's called Eighth Casino. It is an underground club in Casterwich City. The most famous one with a dark background is the Luther family who is now in charge of attacking and protecting. They used to be part of the Long Gang. The other one is the Bowles family's, who has been in charge of finances in recent years. Now, there is a head of the casino... Willy!"
Nicholas roughly explained what he knew.
"In the early days, big nightclubs like East Bannpool and Night Pearl Clubhouse Clubhouse belonged to either the Bowles family or the Luther family. However, after the revolution, Willy turned to finance. The investment in the nightclubs was reduced and he focused mainly on sports and entertainment agencies. After all, it is unlike the chaotic world now. The Luther family also focused on security. After all, they are deep-rooted. So now, all big nightclubs, except for East Bannpool, are under the Luther family. Only they do this kind of evil gambling. Of course, there is another force, the Bowles family's finances. In the underworld, the two forces are evenly divided. Now, I have gathered the other nightclubs and Heaven Star Clubhouse, that we are leading, is thriving. Although it's comparably weaker, we can beat the Luther family! It's no big deal to go to their casinos, but not quite to use their casino to do something. I am afraid I can't help you with that."
He looked at her for a few seconds and hesitated. When he saw that her eyebrows were tightly furrowed in determination, he spoke tentatively. "Actually, there's a way..."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"Say it. Why did you stop?" Alicia raised her head and couldn't hide her eagerness. Her plan was nearly complete. If she missed this, the ending wouldn't be what she wanted.
"The most powerful person in Casterwich City, the person who is respected by everyone... It's not up to you whether you get to meet him or not." Her eyes dimmed in an instant and she bit her lower lip in annoyance. "You want me to beg Frederick?"
At the mention of his name, she felt a scar in her heart get torn open; it was dripping with blood. She would rather die. She would not beg him, especially at this time.
Judging from her frustrated reaction, he knew that his sister still cared about Frederick, unlike what she claimed.
He didn't force her. Wiping his hands, he stood up and said, "I'm just giving you a suggestion. This is the only solution that I can think of."
He turned sideways and rubbed her fluffy hair. He continued speaking.
"I will find a way to talk to the Luther family. You can take him to the venue first. By the way, he can test his luck in a few rounds. As for winning or losing, it depends on his luck. I am leaving. Remember to lock the door! Call me if anything happens."
"Yes. Bye..."
She waved at him, and the engine of the car could be heard. Then, Alicia sighed heavily and said, "He's married. What right do I have to beg him?" He was a wolf! How could she accept such a bad deal? If she really went to meet him, there would be more trouble.
Feeling very annoyed, she grabbed her hair and grunted. She then got up and ran upstairs.
She took an apple candy and went back to her room. She examined it carefully under her table lamp. She grabbed a piece and tried it herself. "This is it."
Its effect was spectacular. Last time, she held it in her throat for only a little while, and over the next few days, her throat felt more comfortable. Moreover, even her deliberately hoarse tone seemed to have cleared a lot.
She took out another box, put on a pair of rubber gloves and a mask, and then walked to another small room.
She found a straw and opened a small bottle to suck some of the liquid.
Fortunately, this plastic seal was transparent. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome. She tried from a few positions. Finally, Alicia chose the corner of the plastic. Each part was secretly injected with a little liquid.
After the work was done, she put the tablet in the ventilation duct, hoping to let the water droplets inside evaporate. Then, she blew the plastic slab using her hairdryer to hide the needle holes.
After finishing everything, she checked again. Without taking a closer look, one would not notice anything at all. Who would notice if there were needle holes on the plastic?
Then, Alicia put the medicine box in her bag. She was afraid that someone would eat it by mistake. After cleaning up, she started to cram on information about the casino...

In the blink of an eye, it was already the weekend. On this day, Jeremy visited Serenity Sanatorium with some food supplies. Recently, he was very diligent. Every time he came he would record what his mother said and listen to it when he went home. Every time he heard them, he felt that he was making the biggest mistake in his life. Every time, his heart sank deeper.
Every minute, he was constantly tortured by the truth of the past.
Now that he had a clue, he really wanted to know what happened. Once he got out of the car, he was in a daze. His mind was still wandering elsewhere.
As soon as he stepped on the aisle, a familiar scream could be heard from inside the house. "Ah... It hurts..."
Taking big strides, he rushed over and said, "Mom..."
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on the bed. Her hair was ruffled, and there was blood on her face and body. A few nurses were cleaning up the wound on her arm.
He saw blood all over the ground.
"What's going on?"
"Mr. Andrews, you're here! Mrs. Pitchers ran out of the hospital when we weren't paying attention and was almost hit by a car. Luckily, she was rescued by a kind and beautiful lady. She has some scratches here and there, but overall, she's fine. The lady was also injured and is being treated in the office."
"Yes. She's a kind-hearted person. Usually, the family members of these patients aren't willing to come, but the lady was very worried about the patients and sympathized with them. She wouldn't leave unless everything is alright..."
As they were talking, a familiar voice came, "How is she? Is she injured?"
As Jeremy turned around, he gasped.
