Chapter 161
Charles’s expression grew darker. “Then… try 100 thousand!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Murray. You still don’t have enough.”
“Not even 100 thousand?!” Charles’s expression contorted into an ugly frown. “What about 50 thousand? No, try ten thousand.”
After another attempt by the staff, they shook their heads and smiled. “Mr. Murray, you’ve been at the casino for a long time today. Why don’t you come back another day?”
Lindsay, who had accompanied Charles all along, retorted to the staff, “What do you mean by that? Are you saying Mr. Murray has no money?
“Who do you think you’re talking to? Open your eyes; this is Mr. Murray from the Murray Group. How could he have no money?”
Lindsay pulled Charles aside and whispered, “Mr. Murray, I’m sure there’s just something wrong with your card! I heard a guy here at the casino specializes in lending money to gamblers.
“You’ve just lost so much, and it appeared like you just started a winning streak. It would be a pity to
leave now and miss the chance to win big.”
Seeing Charles hesitate, Lindsay grabbed his arm and smiled. “Mr. Murray, I’m counting on you to win more so you can tip me. I believe in your luck.”
Charles smirked and said, “If I win back my losses, I’ll buy you a handbag!”
“You’re so kind, Mr. Murray! I’ll follow your lead and bet on you.”
Having been persuaded by Lindsay, Charles went to borrow money from the casino’s loan shark,
Shawn Lyon.
Charles originally intended to borrow 100 thousand.
Shawn smiled and said, “Sorry Mr. Murray, but our minimum loan here is one millian.”
“One million!” Charles was surprised. He had already lost 500 thousand today.
Lindsay glanced at Shawn, then smiled and took Charles’s arm. “Mr. Murray, your luck is finally turning around. What’s a million to you now? Just win it back later and pay it all off!”
Hearing Lindsay’s words, Charles finally signed the paperwork and borrowed one million before re- entering the casino.
But this time, Charles lost the entire one million. Lindsay, who had placed her bet on him, also lost all
her money.
As they left the casino, Lindsay comforted Charles, “It’s okay, Mr. Murray. Although I lost 100 thousand following you, I believe you’ll win it back! What could be the reason-”

2/2
Charles was filled with anger, and he was ready to lash out. However, he suppressed his rage when he heard that Lindsay had also lost 100 thousand betting on him.
“I remember now! Mr. Murray, it seems like you started losing after Lucy left!” Lindsay exclaimed as if she had just realized something.
“Mr. Murray, think about it! You didn’t lose when Lucy was by your side.”
Charles paused, recalling the events at the casino that night.
