The game was about to begin when Edward Wen barge in, the guard at the door was ordered by Ronald to let him enter.
Ronald saw Edward Wen trying to force his way into the VIP poker room, and he investigated who he is and found out that his Eva's father. He figures it's best to let him enter and see if they can catch one and get one free at the same time.
"Mr. Wright! I'm sorry, but I must speak with you." Edward Wen came in all anxious and sweat can be seen on his distinguish looking feature.
"Edward! Welcome, what could it be so important that you're interrupting a critical game? Oh, it's too bad we're full already, if not I would invite you to join." Mr. Wright offered hoping one of the players would provide the seat.
Jeff kicked Ethan under the table ordering him to give up his seat.
Ethan understood right away and got up, " Sir, if you wanted to join the game, I'm more than happy to give up my seat."
Edward was more than happy to do so. However, he has no idea how much the stake and at the moment he still owes Mr. Wright tons of money.
"Son, thank you for your offer; unfortunately, I was in a rush when I flew in and was not able to prepare enough funds." He replied sadly, deep in his mind he wanted to sit in this game, lots of money was on the table.
Ethan walked toward Edward and introduced himself. " Sir, my name is Ethan Wright, I'm Mr. Wright's adopted son and also part owner of this Casino. I could extend credit to you if you need it."
Edward's face lit up ' If he could get in the game and win, he would have enough to pay up the greedy bastard Mr. Wright.' He thought happily.
"Well, if your willing to give me credit and give up your seat, then I'm more than happy to oblige. Is it alright with everyone?" Edward looked around the table to see if anyone object.
"Your welcome to join."
"I don't care as long as the Casino backs it, I'm fine with you joining."
"Yah! Please, come join us."
"Well, well, well, it seems that your credit is still good, why not join us. Hahaha!" The intoxicated Mr. Wright blurt out.
Everything all set, Ethan got up, and Edward Wen sat down next to Jeff.
Edward introduced himself to Jeff, "Hello! I'm Edward Wen from Asia." Extended his hand for a handshake.
Jeff only looked at him without taking his hand. "Hmmm!" Was all Jeff said and nodded his acknowledgment.
Edward couldn't see through Jeff's dark sunglasses; therefore, he just pulled his hand back and sat quietly.
The game begins, the dealer dealt the card. The same as the first two hours, Mr. Wright wins more often than others. The more he wins, the more he drinks, he's getting wasted entirely.
The only person that's unhappy with the whole things was Edward Wen. The 10 million he had started depleted very quickly, he only has less than 100k left, and the Ante alone would eat 30k of it.
He's sweating like crazy; he keeps on wiping his sweat with his hand then touching the card, which made Jeff cringed.
"Floor! Will you, please! Come and bring wet wipes and a new set-up. [new deck of card]" Jeff requested.
Edward felt embarrassed after hearing Jeff's request. But no matter what he does, he keeps on perspiring due to nervousness. He's afraid of the outcome after the game if he losses all the money.
Ethan saw how badly Edward was sweating, he sent a text message to Jeff.
Ethan: [ Should I give him more money?]
Jeff saw it and replied : [Do whatever you want, he's your future father-in-law. Hahaha! Good luck!]
Ethan was ticked off from Jeff's banter : [ Oh, Ya! Watch this.]
Ethan walked toward Edward with a concerned look in his eyes. "Sir, if you're worried about the money, don't be. Just enjoy your game and who knows you might be the biggest winner of everyone."
"How do you expect me to make a come back with this..." He showed his measly less than a 10k of chips.
Ethan raised his hand to the floor manager and beckoned him to come. "Bring Mr. Wen another 10 million asap."
"Yes! Sir, right away." The floor manager replied and left to get the chips.
"Gentlemen, Mr. Wen has 10 million behind,[money is coming] start the game," Jeff announced.
Mr. Wright was too intoxicated and playing like a fool thinking he could win all the money.
Edward took advantage of this and keeps on playing against him winning most of his money back within the hour.
Jeff and everyone else at the table just watching most of the hand. Does not matter what kind of card they were dealt, they folded and let the two battle.
After three hours of playing, a break was announced. A table was arranged at the corner of the VIP room filled with delicacies.
Everyone complied except for Mr. Wright and Edward Wen; they wanted to continue with the game.
Everyone agreed and let the two battle, while they sat down and enjoyed the delicious food.
Jeff and Ethan took the opportunity and sneaked out and went up to the penthouse to inform the girls.
"I'm praying for you little brother; your future father-in-law would cost you to spend all your inheritance before grandfather die. Hahaha!" Jeff smacks his brother on his shoulder jokingly.
The news didn't go well with Eva; she has the horror looks on her face after hearing that her father is downstairs gambling. She looks at Ann asking for help without saying a word.
Ann understood clearly just from looking at Eva's eyes that she's afraid. She was about to comfort Eva when Ethan beat her to it.
"Don't worry alright! Will handle everything, when this is over you will be free from your father." Ethan whispered to Eva.
Eva was shaking, and tears started forming in her eyes. "I'm just afraid he would force me to marry the man he owes money. He's like a gangster or something; I heard he called him Mr. Wright or something."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking the same thing.
Ethan was the first to speak; "WTF!!! Is your father using you to pay off his debt to my adopted father? No way! There is no way in hell I would let him lay his hand on you, over my dead body!"
