Chapter 46 Aunder’s God of Gambling

After Erin and Holly got dressed, Mrs. Blossom took them to the club’s VIP private room.

When they entered the room, Mrs. Blossom said to Holly, “I think I picked the wrong thing for you to

wear. You look too old in this. I can’t embarrass Tony. Come with me, and we’ll get you changed into

another outfit.”

Holly secretly cursed. She said unhappily. “No need to go through all the trouble. What I’m wearing is

fine.”

*Tony specifically instructed me to pay attention to your outfits, but you think it’s troublesome? How do

you think I feel? If you don’t want to change, call him and tell him yourself.” Mrs. Blossom said with a

cold sneer. She even took her phone out and passed it to Holly.

Holly sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll go with you!” Then, she turned to Erin. “Erin, do you want to come

with me?”

“Sure.”

“What sort of attitude is this?” Mrs. Blossom asked, displeased. “Are you two conjoined twins? What

type of place do you think the King

Midas Club is? We are a legitimate place! Are you afraid that we’ll hurt you?”

Holly and Erin’s expressions darkened when they heard what Mrs. Blossom said. Holly muttered, “Erin,

be careful. I’ll soon be back to be

with you.”

Erin nodded and watched as Mrs. Blossom and Holly left.

Five minutes later, Holly had just entered the dressing room when she was knocked out cold by

someone behind her with a wooden club.

“Mrs. Blossom, what should we do with her now?” a bodyguard asked.

Mrs. Blossom looked at the unconscious Holly on the floor. She was instantly infuriated. “Are you an

idiot? Who told you to knock her out cold? Who the hell hired you? Are we some dodgy sleazy club?

What happens if you hurt her, or worse, killed her? Do you think she’s a nobody?”

The bodyguard turned pale with fright. He immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Blossom! I’m new

here. Please forgive me!” Then, he quickly bent down to check on Holly. He looked a little relieved,

saying, “Mrs. Blossom, she’s fine! There’s only a bump on her head.”

“Okay, enough. Since she’s passed out, get someone to take her to a guest room and let her sleep.

Send someone to guard the room and listen to Tony’s orders. I’m warning you. You cannot touch this

woman! She isn’t like any of our escorts. Don’t you dare cause any more trouble!” Mrs. Blossom glared

at the bodyguard, frightening him so much that he was left speechless, nodding fervently.

Twenty minutes later, Louis Gamel Aunder’s God of Gambling, was leaving the casino with his

assistant.

Tony pretended that he had just bumped into them. He immediately welcomed them, smiling widely,

and said, “Welcome, welcome to the King Midas Club. It is our honor to have the God of Gambling

here!”

Louis was a 6’2” dashing man. He looked at Tony with his blue eyes and said indifferently, “I had a

game with a friend in King Midas Club tonight, but it just ended, and I’m going home.”

His intentions were clear. He wanted Tony to step aside and not disturb him.

Tony pretended he did not understand. He chuckled and said, “The night is still young. Let me buy you

a drink!”

“No need.”

“To tell you the truth, I met a young lady tonight. I thought she looked really familiar. Then, I suddenly

recalled that she looked like your late wife. I thought of taking you to meet her since your wife has

already passed away more than five years ago.”

Tony didn’t want to hide Erin from Louis. After all, Aunder was Louis‘ territory. He would rather be

honest with him than play mind games.

Louis started pondering deeply upon hearing what Tony said. He was clearly still grieving over the

passing of his wife. He suddenly said to Tony. “Tony, I appreciate your kindness, but no one can

replace her. I’m not interested in this lady. Goodbye.” He turned and left without giving Tony any more

chance to say anything.

Tony was not one to give up so easily. He said, “But she really looked like your late wile!” Louis‘

lootsteps slowed down, which gave Tony the opportunity to run over to him and add, “If you’re not in a

rush, why don’t you come with me to go have a look? It won’t hurt to see her. right? You can leave if

you’re not interested in her.” He looked at Louis eagerly.

Louis swept Tony a glance before saying, “Okay. Lead the way.”

“It is an honor! Come with me.” Tony buttered up to Louis by bowing a little.

At that moment, Erin had been waiting for Holly in the private room at the club for a long time. She sent

Holly a message and has yet to receive a reply. She tried calling Holly too, but she didn’t pick up. Erin

started to worry.

She decided to head to the dressing room to look for Holly on her own. When she was just about to

open the door, Tony pushed the door open, almost knocking her over.

Louis saw how Erin was about to fall, and he immediately sprung forth and grabbed her by the waist.

When Erin looked up at him in panic. Louis was shocked, not believing his eyes!

He couldn’t help but call out his dead wife’s name, “Adeline…”

Erin didn’t understand what he was saying, but she could roughly guess. The man hugging her tightly

at that moment had mistaken her for someone else. She started to squirm. “Can you let go of me?”

“No! Adeline, do you know how much I’ve missed you? How could you leave me so cruelly?” Louis was

clearly unstable. His blue eyes were filled with endless grief.

Standing beside them. Tony was baffled, looking at what was happening. He once had the fortune to

visit Louis‘ mansion with a few other casino owners. There, he noticed a photo of a woman roughly in

her thirties framed on the wall. She had a head of long hair reaching her waist, looking exquisitely

gorgeous. Back then, Louis told them she was his late wife, who had just passed away not long ago.

Five years had passed, and Tony thought Erin looked like Louis‘ wife based on his memories of that

photo, but he would never have thought that the usually aloof and mature Louis would treat Erin as his

dead wife!

At that moment. Louis‘ assistant gave Tony a look. Tony immediately came to his senses and closed

the door shut, giving Louis and Erin some space.

Erin was completely bewildered, trapped inside Louis‘ embrace. Did she really look like the other

woman?

“Sir, can you let me go? You’ve mistaken me for someone else! I’m not Adeline,” Erin tried to explain,

but Louis only hugged her tighter. He was deeply engrossed in his painful memories, unable to pull

himself together.

Erin’s face was pressed against his body. He had a nice minty scent.

Right at that moment, the door to the room was violently kicked down!

Tony was being held by Hans.

Louis and Erin looked toward the door at the same time. A huge, towering figure with a cold murderous

aura stood there.

Chandler’s darkened gaze pierced Erin intensely. With a blood–curdling sneer, he growled, “Erin Lane,

get your ass over here!”
