Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Following a series of rapid footsteps, several strong and fierce-looking men dressed in black stood in front of them. The crowd cleared out an empty space in an instant. The big movement also attracted a lot of people's attention. The surrounding area froze and silence clung the air. Time seemed to have stopped.

The man in the front picked up the man by his collar and said angrily, "How dare you cheat?"

"No, no! I really did not?"

Raising his hand, the man acted like he was about to strike but his hand did not make contact. "You still dare to quibble? Do you know where this place is? How dare you cheat? Are you tired of living?"

"No, I really didn't—"

"Then what is this?"

With a roar, the man slammed down his hand. With a crack, he swiped the man's trembling face with a poker card, leaving a blood trail behind. The man writhed on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Ouch! It's not me, it's really not me!"

"The proof is right here! How dare you quibble! Drag him out!"

The man waved his hand. Two other men dressed in black picked up the man and dragged him to the door with great power. The man howled like a pig. After a short silence, the room was filled with noise and excitement. Wherever the man passed, his pained howls were drowned out by the crowd's exciting roars. He didn't even attract any attention as he was dragged out of the door like a pig. When he was thrown out of the casino, the men dressed in black gave him a few punches and kicks enthusiastically. One of the men lifted his foot and pressed on the fat man's palm forcefully.noveldrama

"We're just teaching you a lesson this time. Next time when you go out, keep your eyes wide open and stay honest. If your hands are not f*cking honest, don't take them! Can you remember that?"

"Ah - "

He bowed his body, cried out miserably and continuously shook his head. "My good man, please spare my life. I didn't cheat. I really didn't!"

"What did you say? You're still quibbling? Will you stop only when you are close to dying? Do you want me to teach you a lesson again? Think again before you speak! Tell me, is your hand honest?"

The man stamped hard on the ground, and the warning was obvious. The man was in so much pain that sweat beaded down his forehead. The next second, he shook his head and nodded.

"Yes! Yes, I cheated! I was dishonest! Please spare my life. I won't do it again, I really won't do it again!"

"Good thing you're smart!"

After saying these words, the man stomped on the ground once more and stopped. He looked at the man with his mobile phone. The other man, who had been filming with a phone, also nodded and stopped.

"Scram! From now on, you're not allowed to enter the Eighth Casino. Otherwise, we'll beat you up every time we see you!"

After scrambling about a few times, the man ran away.

Several men dressed in black quickly gathered around their leader. They couldn't help but smirked lightly. The leader took the mobile phone and waved his hand, and everyone quietly disappeared. The entryway regained its emptiness and peace once more. Under the soft light, it was a peaceful and beautiful scene, as if nothing had happened.

When Hudson and Elijah walked out of the door, the man respectfully handed over his phone, "Mr. Luther, Hudson!"

Sweeping his gaze slightly, Elijah did not say anything. He withdrew his gaze and walked to his car. After glancing at it, Hudson nodded and said, "Good job!"

If he had no opinions, it meant a job well done!

Hudson quickly followed after Elijah. He opened the door and got into the car. The black Porsche disappeared into the night like a gust of wind, drawing a satisfactory ending for this night.

She had never been humiliated like this before, so in the following days, Carolien could not summon any energy to do anything. Deep down inside, she was ready to quit. She realized that finding a backer was a bad idea.

In the blink of an eye, it had been half a month. Nothing happened and her thoughts slowly returned to normal.

One day, while she was calculating the budget for this month in her office, she heard rapid knocking on the door. In the next second, the door burst open.

"Carolien, you should go and have a look. Mr. Xu refused to let Maaike go. He is drunk and refuses to listen to anyone. He insists on removing Maaike's clothes. They are fighting now!"

Throwing down the documents in her hands, Carolien went straight to the private room. It was already ina mess. There were wine bottles smashed on the ground, men howling in excitement and the women were in disarray.

Upon entering the door, Carolien

broke up the fight, persuaded the

men and apologized while promising gifts. After mediating the situation and downing a bottle of beer, she managed to calm everyone down and send them off. After that, she was exhausted and her forehead was bruised.

After closing the door, the women cried loudly while cleaning up, wiping Carolien's forehead. Maaike couldn't help crying as she hugged Carolien.

"Carolien, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! Why are all these men like this? How could they act like this just because they are drunk? How can it be so difficult for us to earn living expenses?"

"The peace over the past few days was... It's been a waste of time today!" "Yeah, this month has been slightly better! Xu Se is so shameless. He want to put on an act so he vents his anger on us!"

Her heart was running wild and she was also terrified. But on the surface, Carolien still smiled and said,

"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. It's fine as long as you're all right. You've been busy all day. After this, let's get off work and go to bed early!"

After sending everyone away, Carolien continued tidying up. Looking at the empty room, she sat on the sofa for a long time. At this moment, the idea that she shoved aside came back to her.

When she got home, the small night

lamp on the table was turn on. She picked up the colorful cartoon drawing board. Then a smile appeared on her red lips. She looked at her child who was fast asleep with a pure and beautiful smile on the sleeping face. She looked at the drawing of a deer hugging a fawn. Determination shone through her eyes. She tucked the blankets tighter around her child and adjusted her bolster. Then, Carolien tiptoed quietly back to her room. She looked

at herself in the bathroom mirror

and touched her injured forehead.

She could get hurt, she could endure pain, she could be penniless and be bullied,

but not her precious child!

The road ahead was still very long!

She had someone very important to protect!

She had to... must capture Elijah Luther's attention!

Meanwhile, it had been almost a week and without fail, Elijah would go to the

Eighth Casino to sit down and have a look...
