Chapter 163
“Alright!” Charles finally relented, gritting his teeth as he pulled out his phone. “It’s just 250 thousand, right?”
Charles scrolled through his contacts and dialed Amelia’s number.
“Hey, why’re you callingat this hour?” Amelia answered Charles’ call happily.
Charles whispered, “Amelia, I've run into a bit of trouble. Can you lend250 thousand? | need it urgently.”
Amelia frowned, asking hurriedly, “A week ago, you said we needed funds for a big project with the Franklin
Group, so | gave you over 50 million. Do you need money now because there's a problem with the project?”
“Yes!” Charles grabbed onto the convenient excuse. “Didn't Nathan just sign a contract with Evergreen Biotech? |
heard they even signed a hefty penalty clause. | don’t want to delay his affairs!”
“Alright, I'll transfer it to you right away.”
Amelia reminded him. “Nathan is trusting in our family this time. You must handle things properly and not cause
trouble for him. Otherwise, | won't be able to explain to Mrs. Franklin.”

“Don’t worry, Amelia.” Charles’ eyes lit up, and he added, “Amelia, if you have any extra money, can you
transfer it totoo? I'll pay you back once this project is over!”
“Okay. Work hard!”
“Don’t worry!”
After ending the call, Charles received a transfer of 500 thousand from Amelia.
He smiled and transferred 250 thousand to Shawn, then sneered at him. “From now on, | won't borrow money
from you anymore. You have no trust in your clients!”
As Charles reentered the casino, Shawn spat on the ground and returned to the casino with his men.
Audrey looked at the photos sent by the private investigator, finding it intriguing that Charles had beca
gambler.
On the other end of the phone, the private investigator continued, “During this time, Mr. Murray hasn't even
been chasing women; he’s entirely focused on gambling.
“From what | know, he now owes the casino at least four million, and there’s a contract stating that if he can’t
repay the debt within a month, the interest will increase tenfold.”
Audrey was already aware of this matter.
“I understand,” Audrey said.
“By the way, | heard that Mr. Murray is urgently looking for a girl named Lucy. Many models named

After the call with the private investigator ended, Audrey immediately called Lucy. “It’s about tto meet
Charles-perhaps tonight?”
“Okay!” Lucy responded and went to prepare.
Audrey glanced at the photo of Anne, Harper, and herself on the table beside her with a faint smile.
“Soon, Charles will face the consequences and cto apologize to you.”
Soon enough.
That sevening, Charles regained his confidence after finding his lucky star. He started his winning streak at
the casino.
Feeling confident, Charles was generous with his bets. However, when Lucy mentioned needing to use the
restroom and left, Charles immediately started losing.
He slammed his cards on the table.
He was now even more convinced Lucy was his lucky star.
