"That's not my new partner. It's all a misunderstanding. I have something urgent to attend to today, so we'll have to reschedule. Let's meet another day."
Winslow then asked for his friend to be shown out of his office.
His employees at the casino were interrogated about the source of the rumor spreading, and Brie was quickly blamed.
"We were simply curious about the relationship between Ms. Benett and Mr. Knowles. We were not sure of the details, but Ms. Ingram informed us that Ms. Benett was not the only woman you admire."
"We were manipulated by Ms. Ingram, but we can assure you that we never told anyone else. The rumors were spread by customers who witnessed your interactions with Ms. Benett. Mr. Knowles, you have always told us that we must put our customers first and that it is okay as long as their money stays here, isn't that right?"
…
Winslow's lips thinned with displeasure, his eyes burning with rage.
It was fate that allowed him to be reunited with Elisa.
He would not have known Elisa's identity if not for their fateful meeting.
She was his niece, and yet they were both caught in a scandal of being in a romantic relationship.
As her uncle, how could he have allowed this to happen?
Winslow's mouth twisted wryly; his voice was deep and emotionless.
His dark, profound eyes were like two dark coals, smoldering with anger.
"If you continue to gossip, you will have your tongues cut off and your arms and legs broken. You'll each receive a hundred thousand as compensation. Take it and get out of my sight now!"
The strict rules of KKCD Casino were well-known to all employees. Arguing with the boss was futile.
The more they begged for mercy, the crueler their punishments would be.
Winslow didn't even give them a chance to beg before ordering them to be dragged away.
Within ten minutes, Winslow had fired nearly all of his employees.
As for Brie, she stood frozen in fear at the repercussions that might follow her.
Winslow didn't mention her name when he gave the order, but his eyes were flared red with anger, and she could tell she was in for a world of trouble.
She also realized how much Winslow valued Elisa.
