The Lime Family was facing tough times due to the pressure from the Tuckson Family. It seemed like they were on the brink of collapse.
Fortunately, the Tuckson Family didn’t aim to completely crush them. After a period of harassment, they backed off.
Just when things settled with the Tucksons, George came knocking by catching Dylan off guard with a brutal beating.
Despite sending him to jail, George surprisingly got out quickly and repeatedly tried to cause trouble.
Frustrated, Dylan turned to his friend Joey for help.
That was when Joey unexpectedly crossed paths with George.
At this moment, George, inebriated and unaware of being set up, was recklessly gambling at the table, fueled by alcohol–induced bravado.
Alcohol emboldened him, making him do things he wouldn’t dare otherwise.
After a few small wins, his confidence soared.
Joey came back and was still praising and encouraging beside him. He immediately stopped his original intention of gambling a few times and leaving.
However, most of the subsequent gambling sessions didn’t go as he wished.
Despite this, fueled by alcohol and the desire to win, he continued to gamble time and time again. After losing, he even borrowed money to

Meanwhile,
Three days later, Scarlet was discharged from the hospital. Her first action upon leaving was to wheel herself over to find Angela.
Fanny volunteered to accompany her and appeared excited.
Just after training, barely out of school, Angela caught sight of the two approaching.
She frowned, barely sparing them a glance, and simply went the other
way.
Oliver diligently stood guard beside Angela and effectively separated Fanny and Scarlet.
“Angela, stop right there!”
Seeing Angela blatantly ignoring her, Scarlet almost leaned over in anger, slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, and yelled fiercely.
Despite having recently woken up, her voice carried a strong tone, far from someone fresh out of the hospital.
Angela paid no mind and continued to walk ahead, while Oliver turned to glare at the two of them. He shielded Angela as they made their way outside the school.
Both Scarlet and Fanny were startled by Angela’s reaction, but Fanny still pushed Scarlet trailing not far behind Angela.
Without a word from Angela, Scarlet shouted, “Angela!”

He deliberately stood in her way, while Oliver swiftly positioned himself in front of Christopher.
Upon seeing Christopher, Fanny’s eyes lit up, but she refrained from greeting him. Instead, she earnestly addressed Angela, “Angela, your mother has come to see you in person. Why won’t you even acknowledge her?”
Angela sneered and didn’t respond to Fanny. She just turned and gave a casual glance to Scarlet.
“What is it that you want to say?”
Christopher noticed Angela’s reluctance to leave and approached Scarlet and Fanny at that moment.
He had been kept busy by Jane these past few days, but as soon as he got the message from Fanny seeking help, he quickly brushed off Jane and offered his assistance.
Scarlet was quite irritated by Angela’s attitude. She slapped the armrest and said, “You promised to treat Zacharias, who is now in critical condition. Hurry and come to the hospital with me!”
Angela gave a cold smile, “Didn’t your good daughter Fanny inform you? I’m not treating anymore.”
She chose not to engage with these individuals, she simply gave Oliver a look and turned to continue walking out.
Upon hearing her words, the three of them attempted to stop her, but several bodyguards swiftly intervened and blocked their path.
