Chapter 268: "Dodging Death"

Evan and Jake had goosebumps facing Finley's acting, but the boy ignored them. He gently pushed Jake aside and ran to Evan, who was still sitting on the sofa. 

"Dad! Look, Neil brings a helper! With this, Neil will win against you!" 

Finley pounced on Evan and snuggled into the man's embrace. The way he acted was truly like a Papa boy, so real that Evan froze on the spot. 

Is this truly my cold son? Since when has he become so adorable?! 

Even Jake's jaw dropped to the floor in a heartbeat. This wasn't the first time he saw Finley, even though the boy had only visited the casino for the first time. 

His impression of this boy was someone mature, cold, and definitely didn't look like boys his age. 

However, at this moment, his impression seemed to fool him. 

Dang. That brat can be so spoiled too, huh?! 

Of course, he knew that it was just an act, but that acting deserved an Oscar…

Ignoring Jake's twitching eyelids and Finley's sweet smile, Evan stroked the boy's head, albeit with a cold expression. 

"Mmm. Good, you're back." Even then threw his gaze to Ainsley, who stood there rooted to the floor. 

"Is this toddler the helper you mentioned, Neil?" Evan began to inspect Ainsley from head to toe as he asked his son in a cold voice. 

"Are you sure she's good at gambling? Your dad is unbeatable, you know?" 

Even though Evan currently looked expressionless, one could still feel the man's affectionate voice toward his son. 

"Well, I saw her gambling record, and out of 20 matches, she never lost even once!" Finley slowly got out of Evan's embrace and casually sat next to the man. 

"Her name is Godtoddler. She just visited the casino for two days...she is a newbie, but her gambling record is fantastic, dad!" 

Finley began to introduce Ainsley to the adults even though all three of them already knew about this baby. This action was just a ploy to create a connection with the toddler. 

Evan pretended to be surprised. His eyes widened, and he gasped as he looked at Ainsley. 

"Wow, what a friend you got there. She's quite promising." Evan nodded at Ainsley. His eyes were full of satisfaction. 

The middle-aged man currently acted like a senior praising their junior or something. 

"Oh, oh, this is my first time seeing such a young gambler other than you, Neil!" Jake also didn't want to get left behind. He scanned Ainsley from head to toe as well. 

"If she's a good gambler, I don't mind playing against her too...if your friend can win against me, I'll give you two energy crystals as pocket money. How is it?" 

Jake began to throw the bait. He didn't want this baby to play only with Evan. He also wanted to test her ability, okay? 

If he's not wrong, this baby should have a special ability related to gambling. 

If he could discover her special ability...it would be worth a few one-coloured energy crystals. 

When Ainsley heard the offer, she subconsciously hugged Cellino tighter and gulped. 

These two big shots...they casually mentioned giving a few one-coloured crystals as mere pocket money…. 

Aren't they literally a walking money bag? 

Ainsley already imagined how she could get more than just a few one-coloured crystals if she lingered around these big shots. 

If she could befriend them...she wouldn't lose anything and would even earn a lot! 

Not to mention when Ainsley saw Jake, she was stunned beyond relief. Black hair and ruby eyes...that's the exact same appearance as her fake appearance! 

If Ainsley played it well, she was sure that she could enter these big shots' circles through Neil. 

Before Ainsley could speak, Neil already chipped in, beating her to it. 

"Godtoddler, you will agree, right? You told me you will help me to win against my dad as well! You can get some crystals to play with after that." 

Finley jumped from the sofa and ran to Ainsley's side. He slowly dragged the baby and let her sit between him and Evan, completely disregarding Jake. 

"Dad, look, look! Godtoddler has agreed to help me win against you! When will we play?" The boy was in a rush to end his mission. 

Once Ainsley played with these adults, he could revert back to his original identity and didn't need to act all chummy like this. 

Hurry, hurry, defeat these oldies, Ain! 

The innocent Ainsley was struck dumb when she sat right next to the powerful-looking middle-aged man. From this distance, she could see the man's handsome yet stern face. 

She didn't know why but this man reminded her of the Godfather. The aura around this man was intimidating enough to pass as the Godfather's right-hand man! 

"Uh...uh..." Ainsley's mind spun fast. She wanted to say 'yes', but when she was so close to Evan, she felt her tongue stiffen. 

Even when she already got a system and got the Godfather around her, she was still flustered in front of this guy! 

Why? Because...because his face somehow resembled her fairy friend…

Finnie! 

That's one hell of a miscalculation. Evan didn't think that Ainsley would associate him with Finnie the fairy, and so did Finley himself. 

If Ainsley gave a thought once more, she would either think of this middle-aged man as a royal fairy in disguise or Finnie was the one in disguise and that he's not actually a fairy. 

Fortunately, Ainsley had never seen Evan's face as Walter's family head. She also didn't know Finley's face, who was the Walter Family's sole heir. 

If Ainsley saw their faces somewhere else, she would definitely not keep silent in this situation. 

Finley just unknowingly dodged death!
