Teresa stepped on the gas and drove as she exined her situation.


    “After I graduated from university two years


    ago, I went back home.”


    “My family wanted me to marry a rich yboy from an ancient family as a sacrificial tool. It was an


    arranged marriage.”


    “But I declined. I told them all that I want to live my own life, and that I have my own goals to strive for.


    I’m not their prisoner! They can’t just tell me what to do.”


    “I’d rather die than to be forced into marriage.”


    “And so, my family gave me a chance and made a deal with me.”


    “They would give me seventy-five thousand


    dors to establish my own business.”


    “If I’m able to double the money within three years without any help from my family, I’ll regain my


    freedom.”


    “But if I can’t, I’ll have to marry that rich. yboy and be my family’s sacrifice.”


    “Of course, my family won’t cause me any trouble during the process.”


    “I epted the deal, but I only realized that everything wasn’t as simple as I thought once I started


    getting into business. Other than the importing and exporting business, my family has influence on every


    other industry.”


    “Even the big businesses would only consider working with the Thompson family. Why would they


    choose to work with a castaway in the first


    ce?”


    “Working with me would mean going against


    the Thompson family. Under these circumstances, my only choices were more or less problematic


    business partners.”


    “Even though it’s hard, I managed to run my business properly after two long years.”


    “After this deal, I’d earn fifteen million dors. But, who would’ve thought…”


    Teresaughed derisively at herself.


    “This is my fate, probably. I’ll be married to a rich yboy and turn into a sacrificial tool for my family. I’ll


    be someone’s prisoner my entire life…”


    Harvey nodded curtly.


    “It’s hard for a youngdy like you going through all the blood, sweat, and tears to fight for yourself. You


    really are a capable person.”


    “Still, what’s the point?” Teresa replied gloomily.

    “I’d have to pay a huge price just to get out of Las Vegas in one piece.”


    “Two years of my hard work might go up in mes in an instant…”


    Harvey sighed. Just as Teresa said, it would be hard for herpany to make up for their losses in a


    single year if she were topensate for the damages incurreda


    “How about you.


    But before Harvey finished his sentence, Teresa immediately cut him off.


    “But there’s no need to feel burdened by this, Harvey. You can’t be med for what happened today.”


    “Ever since the Third Young Master saw me for


    the first time, he probably already nned to rip me off. I suspect that he’s even trying to get closer to the


    Thompson family by ruining mypany.”


    “Even if you didn’t show up today, things wouldn ‘t go any better.”


    Harvey pondered about the situation for a while.


    “Why is he trying to get the Thompson family’s attention, anyway?”


    Teresa hesitated for a moment before answering.


    “The King of Gambling doesn’t have long to live. He only has three months at best,” Teresa


    quietly replied.


    “His four sons are seeking help everywhere so they can rise to power.”


    Harvey froze. He didn’t think that he would


    receive such pivotal information so suddenly.


    He narrowed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He then swiftly sent a text to Mandy.


    “If that’s the case, you’ll definitely have a hard time tonight.”


    “Let mee with you. I was responsible for what happened, anyway.”


    “It’s best if Ie too. I can keep you safe as


    well.”


    Teresa froze. She was about to decline since she had her own bodyguards, but when she remembered


    how good Harvey was at fighting, she nodded in agreement.
