Chapter 295
Jett’s discriminative attitude was clear to Kingsley, but he didn’t want to stoop to a young attendant’s level and instead said in a low voice to Paige, “Miss Tanner, you haven’t answered me. What are you doing here? Also, why do you have the membership card here?”
“The card belongs to my brother,” she answered with a mischievous giggle. “I’m here on vacation and saw that you were turned away at the door, so I came over to help you out!”
Knitting his brows, Kingsley could tell that she wasn’t completely honest, but before he could have more questions for her, the elevator already reached basement 6.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Jett was the first to step out and gestured politely to them, “This way, please.”
After casting Paige a deep look, Kingsley asked no more. Even though she was a mischievous person, she wasn’t scheming and mean, so he decided not to get to the bottom of matters and merely told her nonchalantly, “I’m here this time for an important matter. Don’t act recklessly and affect my plans.”
“Okay!” Paige stuck out her tongue at him. “I promise I won’t start a fight, expose my identity or get in the way of your plans!”
While they were talking, they followed Jett through a long, dark walkway, and at the end of it, an opulent European-style double door which stood as high as the height of three men greeted them with grandeur.
At the console next to the doors, Jett swiped his work ID, and the big doors slowly and silently opened up.
The next second, bright lights poured out of the room, akin to opening the doors to another world.
Looking at the bright lights and lush designs of Sunshine Casino, Kingsley chuckled and said, “It’s like the Garden of Eden, which will immediately lift up the spirits.”
“This way, please.” In a robotic manner, Jett led them in. “If this is your first visit, you may exchange for some chips at the cashier first.”
Kingsley nodded. “Is there a minimum amount to cash in the chips?”
He had learned all sorts of gambling games from his godfather before, as well as swindling techniques, and with the lowest amount, he could easily make a win so big that this casino could go bankrupt, which was exactly his plan!
If there was really a person who won all the tables at the casino with a few chips in his hand, it was only a matter of time before Xanxus came to check it out.
Hearing Kingsley’s question, Jett displayed a look of disdain. “The lowest chip exchange is 1,000,” he responded with a sulk. “Pardon me for being straightforward, though. You can barely do anything with 1,000. It’s better if you exchanage more.”
“That’s alright. 1,000 is enough. I’m just here to have some fun.” Kingsley shook his head. “Let’s go. Where’s the cashier?”
When they were talking, a man dressed in branded casual clothes brushed past them, and after he caught sight of Paige, he stopped in his tracks unwittingly.
This man was less than thirty in age, but the dark circles under his eyes were deep, as though he hadn’t slept a wink in three days and three nights. And in his eyes, it was filled with desire and greed. Just one look and anyone could tell that he was a person obsessed and addicted to gambling and women.
At the moment, his lustful eyes were fixed on Paige, and like a famished dog who had seen some delicious food, he was about to start drooling any second.
“What a stunner! She’s the real stunner!” the man muttered under his breath as he licked his lips.
Pacing forward, he lifted his chin and said to Kingsley arrogantly, “You’re only exchanging 1,000 in chips to play in Sunshine Casino? Are you here to be a joke?” Then, he turned to Paige and smiled lustfully. “Hey gorgeous, it will be a waste if a beautiful woman like you is hanging out with a loser like that! Why don’t you come with me? You can exchange however much in chips as you want. What do you think?”
Paige frowned, grabbed Kingsley’s arm and cast that man a look of disgust. “Who wants to hang out with you? Get lost!”
Pursing her lips tightly, she almost couldn’t stop herself from whisking out her Serpent Whip and lashed it across this ugly and disgusting face. However, she already promised Kingsley that she wouldn’t act rashly. So, she suppressed her anger forcefully.
With a lewd chuckle, that man took a step closer. “You have such a strong personality, pretty girl! I like women who are gutsy like you, and you’re just so hard to resist!”
Hiding behind Kingsley, Paige poked him in the waist and whispered, “You should protect me if you don’t want me to start a fight, shouldn’t you?”
