Anthony grimaced in annoyance, looking down at the manager and how close he was "I'm going to need you to move back a bit" he said.From what Anthony said and the look he was giving, the manager realized how undignified he was acting and so he cleared his throat as he stood up and fixed his suit properly."Sorry about that, I don't know what came over me just now"Anthony pursed his lips, having an indifferent demeanor towards the manager and saying "Sure, whatever you say"Anthony took in a deep breath and exhaled, getting ready to address what he came here for but then, since the manager was in front of him, this was as good a time to do it as any and so he went ahead."I want to resign from my job as a dealer," Anthony said straight up and the manager turned around, facing the entrance of the casino, and took his first couple of steps towards it."Okay yeah Favorite, I know you want to apologize for not coming to work for a whole month but we'll address that issue later and appropr

A couple of minutes after Mr. Rose Dana and his entourage entered the Jade casino and had already been welcomed by the other guests, standing next to Mr. Rose Dana right now were Rollo and Quinn, the two people who organized this fest. Around them was a perimeter of safety created by the combination of the three men's security detail and nobody was allowed to get close to them, nobody except for Miss Charlie. Thanks to her new position as the Chairwomen for the whole of Dana group she was now above everyone there in terms of status and that is also including Mr. Rollo and Quinn who are the head of the top two families in the Hierarchy. Since Mr. Rose Dana came into the casino, Patience Maple can't stop herself from sneaking impatient glances at him and it got to the point that the other guest she had been talking to felt her apathy for their presence and they all left. "Just how are we going to get you through all that security? I need a reason for him not to say no" Patience asked

Anthony waited impatiently for Annabelle to give him the name of her assaulters but she refrained. Instead, she sniffled and brushed under her nose with her wrist, causing him to get more furious."Why won't you tell me who did this—" he asked then paused with widened eyes when he thought about it and came to an educated guess of who must have hurt her.He knew it had to be a Maple that did it because no one else would have the audacity to touch her. So, using the process of elimination, Patience wouldn't want a blemish on Annabelle because of her plans while Candice who is Patience's little protégé would do exactly like her grandmother which leaves Julius and the twins.Julius wouldn't be this sinister because a twisted ear is something someone with a personal gripe would think of doing so that just leaves Chloe and Carla who he's already seen to have hurt Annabelle the day before."It's those Gemini witches wasn't it?!" Anthony said then he watched Annabelle's reaction which was all

At another side of the casino, Julius who grinned from ear to ear rubbed his palms excitedly as he looked around for what game he wanted to partake in."I guess I'll go with this one—" Julius said but just before he could finish, Patience called his name as she walked up to him with all his sisters.Julius jolted, immediately getting guilty because he stopped doing what she had asked him to do earlier.Julius turned to her robotically and with a guilty smile said "Umm grandmother, I was just on my way to scout for Mr. Rose Dana's Master Anthony. He should be on his way here—"Patience cut him off with a hand gesture for him to shut up. She said "Don't you dare lie to me. I already know you were distracted and forgot what your mission was"Caught red-handed, Julius started scratching the back of his head which made Patience and Candice roll their eyes while the twins looked lost as they weren't used to being in a casino. They were bored."Always acting like undignified whenever you get

"Haha!" Julius exclaimed in victory as he stretched from his chair, wrapping his arms around the pile of betting chips in the center of the poker table, and then pulled everything to his side of the table. As he was doing that, at each side of the same poker table were the grandchildren of the VIPs who were all throwing what remains of their poker cards on the table while rolling their eyes and sighing in defeat. "Five straight games and still undefeated!" Julius grinned as he turned to Patience who looked at him proudly. As per the rules of the preliminary, each player has an equal but limited amount of chips to bet with and they were to play five rounds of poker to bring forth a winner. Three straight wins result in an automatic victory for that player and though Julius got that within the first three rounds they played, the look Patience had when he did pressured him to continue playing. As such he refused to stop there. They would play two more rounds in which he also came out
