The maids' eyes widened in shock.
Sophie couldn't help but chuckle.
Each maid pulled a bill from her purse and placed it in Gordon's hand. Then, they ran out crying.
Sophie was initially puzzled about why losing a single game made them cry, but the next moment, Gordon opened the drawer of the desk in front of him, revealing a thick stack of red bills.
That stack was worth two months' wages for those maids!
"Mr. Gordon, are you hard up for cash?"
"Not at all," Gordon said coolly. "But winning money sure feels great."
After a few days, Gordon seemed even more cunning than before.
Sophie sat across from Gordon and asked directly, "Why do you pretend to be sick?"
"Ever gone fishing?"
"Fishing?"
"The Aldridge family in Devonport is like an anchor, always steady. I got curious, wondering what changes would happen in Devonport if I fell ill."
Gordon placed the stack of bills he had won on the table and laid a deck of playing cards in front of Sophie. "In an hour, just with a deck of cards, I made twenty grand. So, imagine how much a casino makes in an hour?"
Sophie was stunned.
