"This... this can't be happening! It's a setup! You and Betty are in cahoots, trying to humiliate me!" Sarah exclaimed, her voice laced with panic. The thought of the impending public spectacle made her stomach churn. She'd said such awful things, certain she was about to witness Justin's downfall, only to find the tables dramatically turned. The idea of following through was mortifying. No one in their right mind would willingly subject themselves to such embarrassment.Justin's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "Someone seems to have developed a case of cold feet. Remind me, who was so bold just moments ago, boasting they'd relieve themselves right here if I could afford this car? Now that's a sight I'd pay to see."Beside him, Laura blushed, playfully pinching his side.Sarah, meanwhile, stood frozen, her teeth grinding, her feet tapping a furious rhythm against the pavement. Her eyes burned with a venomous glare.Noticing her deepening flush, Justin could

Sarah's face flushed a deep, angry red as she glared at Justin, her eyes burning with fury. "Justin, what's your deal? Are you trying to pick a fight with me?"Justin remained calm, his tone level but cutting. "We're just calling it like it is. Since when did telling the truth become a crime?"Sarah's voice rose, sharp and indignant. "It's my shift today, so all the customers in the store are mine. Why should they count as hers?"Justin raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with mockery. "Funny, isn't it? You seem to have no shame at all. Didn't you say yourself, 'If you want to go full-time, you can take this customer'? That sounds like you handed her the client, plain and simple."Sarah's face darkened, her fury threatening to boil over. Her jaw tightened, teeth grinding audibly. She hadn't expected Justin to hold a grudge, let alone confront her so openly.Laura, who had been watching the exchange with growing amusement, couldn't resist chiming in. "Exactly,

Beep! Justin pulled his new Lexus into the driveway and honked twice. Hearing the sound, his parents immediately guessed he was back. They rushed outside and saw two people stepping out of the sleek black car. For a moment, they stood frozen, their eyes wide and mouths slightly open."Wow, Justin! Is this the car you bought? It's stunning!" his mother exclaimed."Beautiful! The color is perfect!" his father added, nodding in approval.Justin grinned. "Mom, Dad, Laura picked the color. She loves it."Hearing this, Olivia turned her attention to Laura. Her smile deepened as she stepped forward and took Laura's hands. "Laura, once you're part of our family, we'll take good care of you. If Justin ever gives you trouble, just let me know—I'll handle him!"Laura glanced shyly at Justin, her cheeks flushing as she lowered her head.She still couldn't believe how fast everything had happened. Becoming Justin's wife felt like a dream—one she didn't w

Two days later, Sarah called Emma to remind her about the party that evening.With a smug tone, Sarah asked, "Emma, are you sure we can take Justin out tonight?""Don't worry," Emma replied confidently, her voice dripping with pride. "Justin is as good as dead. When the time comes, as long as you follow my lead, I'll make sure he's begging for mercy. He'll crawl in front of us, apologize, and even lick your toes if you want!"Emma's confidence came from Daniel's father's assurance about the terrifying godfather he'd hired. A man who could supposedly catch cannonballs with his bare hands—just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine. If someone like that was on their side, what was Justin in comparison? Nothing but trash.She could already picture the scene: in the private room during the class reunion, Justin's face pale with fear, begging her for forgiveness. The thought brought a triumphant smile to her lips."Really? That would be incredible,"

"Mr. Anderson, you're truly young and accomplished, with such an impressive presence!""Absolutely! The moment I saw Mr. Anderson, I knew he was extraordinary, not on the same level as us!""More than that! Just look at him—those sharp brows, striking eyes, and that commanding presence. He's the kind of man who stands out in any crowd."As Carlos finished speaking, the others eagerly chimed in, their voices brimming with admiration.With all the praise being showered, Daniel and Emma looked so smug, their chins practically pointed to the sky. The arrogance radiating off them was impossible to miss.At the same time, the stark contrast between their grand entrance and Justin's quiet arrival couldn't have been more obvious.Mandy stood to the side, watching as the classmates she once knew scrambled to flatter the congressman's son.She couldn't believe how much they had changed. These were the same people who used to be so simple and genuine, b

The next moment, all eyes narrowed on Justin.Everyone knew that Justin's family background had never been impressive. His father had been a public servant, but just an ordinary employee, and their family had always struggled to make ends meet. Now, the idea of him going to a casino seemed completely unrealistic. Judging by his appearance, he probably couldn't even come up with two thousand dollars, let alone afford to gamble in a high-stakes environment. The whole suggestion felt absurd.The group exchanged confused glances, unable to understand why Daniel had singled Justin out. It seemed unnecessary, even cruel."Mr. Anderson, just let it go. Look at Justin—his entire outfit probably doesn't even cost 100 bucks. Sending him to a casino would just be embarrassing.""Exactly! Did you see him when he walked in earlier? I'm surprised the hotel security didn't stop him at the door.""Right? It's a class reunion, and he still shows up looking like that? E

"Alright, that's more like it!" Daniel said with a smile, spreading his hands. "Blackjack, Poker, Sic Bo—your choice!"For a moment, all eyes turned to Justin, their gazes filled with curiosity. Briefly, he became the center of attention. Some of the classmates even wore malicious smirks, eager to see him lose everything, including the rumored 10 million dollars.Justin pursed his lips, his expression calm and composed. He glanced around the room, taking in the expectant, almost gleeful looks on their faces. It was obvious they had already planned how to humiliate him. He chuckled inwardly, unfazed. Then, with practiced ease, he lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, and smiled. "Blackjack? Not my style. Poker? Too slow. How about Sic Bo? I like the thrill—fast and exciting, just the way I like it."The moment Justin mentioned Sic Bo, Daniel and Emma nearly burst out laughing. They exchanged a quick glance, their smiles full of smug satisfaction. That was exac

"I never regret anything. Let's do it," Justin said calmly.At that moment, Laura and Mandy looked worried.Laura knew Justin wouldn't take a gamble without some level of confidence, but this time felt different. He wasn't up against someone like Paul, a third-rate opponent. This was Daniel—someone from high society. A man like that, who frequented casinos, would undoubtedly have real skills. Losing money wasn't the issue, but if it came to bowing and apologizing, she absolutely couldn't bear to see Justin lose face.After a brief internal struggle, she decided to step in and stop him. But before she could, Justin grabbed her hand tightly. For a moment, as she looked at his calm, composed face, her worry wavered. Confidence in him slowly crept back, leaving her conflicted but silent."Alright, just don't regret it!" Daniel said firmly, his voice full of smug certainty.Justin nodded with deliberate weight.Daniel let out a loud laugh. "Ha ha ha...
Chapter 119
For a moment, everyone was completely stunned by the number—20 million. Forget about earning that much money—they might never even see it in their entire lives. But now, Daniel was betting 20 million in a single round. In just the flip of a lid, it could all be won or lost. If it were them, they wouldn't even have the courage to consider it, let alone the financial resources to pull it off.They had never encountered someone from high society like this before, and seeing it today was truly an eye-opener.Justin had no objections. He smiled as he said, "Alright, if you say so.""Good!" Daniel said with a laugh."Then I'll start," Justin replied, picking up the dice cup with both hands. He gave it a gentle shake—awkward and unpracticed—before placing it back on the table with a soft thud.Sarah and the others couldn't help themselves. They burst into laughter at the sight of his clumsy move. They had never seen anyone so inexperienced;

Daniel was momentarily struck speechless.What they said was true—there was no way someone could cheat in his own place, especially right under his nose. He hadn't seen Justin make a single suspicious move. Both of Justin's hands had been in plain sight the entire time, making it even more impossible. Daniel's eyes flicked over the group, scanning them up and down, still unable to figure out what had just happened. For the first time, doubt crept into his mind. 'Is there something wrong with my dice skills?'Emma and Sarah exchanged glances, their mouths opening slightly as if to say something, but they hesitated and quickly clammed up.Justin broke the silence, his gaze sweeping across the room. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Lost your confidence already?""Justin! Don't get too cocky!" Daniel snapped, his face flushing with anger. The arrogance he had flaunted earlier was nowhere to be seen.Justin smirked and reached into his pocket. He th
