Chapter 542:
She looked up, eyes wide with terror, and met Andres’ cold glare. “Mr. Yates…”
“Shut your mouth, you brainless fool,” he growled, his expression dark with anger. “Kylo’s orders aren’t to be questioned. Leave now while you still have the chance. If you show your face in Muisvedo again, I’ll make sure it’s the last thing you ever do.”
Andres’ words were a stark reminder that there was still a narrow path for Fay to escape punishment, but only if she acted now.
The sharp pain twisting in her stomach jolted her back to reality, and the weight of Kylo’s dark, unreadable stare sank in. The full magnitude of her mistake hit her, making her realize that she had thrown her lot in with the wrong side.
Yet she was also keenly aware that fleeing Muisvedo meant certain death. Outside these walls, her enemies would be waiting to tear her apart.
Panic flared, and desperation took over. Fay scrambled across the floor, clutching at the last thread of hope, and reached Allison’s feet. “Scarlet Snake, I beg you! I’ve been a fool, I was wrong! Please, just this once, show me mercy!”
Her voice cracked with desperation as she tried to grab Allison’s leg, pleading for clemency.
Allison’s brow furrowed with distaste as she stepped back, causing Fay to miss her hold and sprawl forward, knocking a pile of chips in her path. She landed in a pitiful heap, surrounded by scattered chips, looking utterly defeated and ragged.
“Sir…” Fay’s voice trembled as she turned to Kylo for help, but he remained unmoved.
“Take her out,” he ordered, his voice devoid of sympathy.
“Yes, sir,” replied two men in black, stepping forward without hesitation. They lifted Fay and escorted her out of the room. The door slammed shut behind them with a resounding bang, sealing the tension within the casino.
A heavy silence descended on the room as spectators retreated, fearful of being drawn into the scene. The air was thick with unease, as if the heart of the casino had transformed into an ancient gladiatorial arena, cloaked in dread.
Andres knelt before Kylo. “Sir, I take full responsibility for failing to detect the cheating. I genuinely don’t know how it was missed.” His voice was low, weighted with remorse as he continued, “According to the rules of the casino, any cheat must be expelled from Muisvedo, and all ties severed permanently.” He remained in place, bracing for whatever judgment Kylo would render.
“Expelled from Muisvedo?” Allison’s soft laugh pierced the silence. Perched on the edge of the gambling table, her heels tapping lightly against the polished floor.
She looked at Andres with a glint in her eye. “Fine, but remember, the rules also call for Amor’s hands to be taken first.”noveldrama
“In your dreams!” Amor’s composure shattered, and she lashed out, eyes blazing with fury. “You conniving bitch! This was your setup!”
“Kylo, I’m not a coward. I take full responsibility for my mistake this time,” Amor said, her voice steely as she clenched her fists. She drew a deep breath, trying to steady herself. “For the past seven or eight years, I’ve worked for you, bringing in profits that easily exceed nine figures.”
