Hailey froze in ce. She had never seen this side of Den before.


    Ewan smirked and said, "Hailey, do you see it now? Is this still the Den you thought you knew? He''s in the casino now, fully immersed in this world and mixing around with its people. You two are frompletely different worlds—he doesn''t deserve you!"


    Hailey turned to Ewan, finally realizing why he had brought her here.


    It would seem that Ewan knew about Den being here in advance.


    "Ewan, no matter what Den is like, it''s not up to you to judge him. You have no right!"


    Ewan sneered. "Even now, you''re still willing to defend him? Did he put some kind of spell on you or what?"


    "It''s none of your business! I don''t want to be here. I''m going home!" Hailey turned to leave.


    However, Ewan blocked her way. "Den is right there. Don''t you want to go say hi?"


    "There''s no need. Move aside."


    Hailey didn''t know why Den was here, but she sensed that he didn''t want to see her. So, she chose to leave quietly.


    But Ewan wasn''t about to let that happen. He grabbed Hailey''s arm and said, "Come on, Hailey. Let''s go say hi."


    "Ewan, let me go! Don''t touch me!"


    Hailey struggled to break free, but Ewan''s grip was too strong. She couldn''t shake him off.


    At that moment, Hailey felt a sharp gaze homing in on her. She looked up and locked eyes with Den''s cold, piercing stare.


    Den noticed them.


    Their eyes met, and Hailey stiffened.


    Ewan had also noticed Den''s reaction and suddenly smirked. Then, he wrapped an arm around Hailey''s shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. "Den, it''s been a while."


    Hailey shoved Ewan away furiously. She wanted to p him.


    Den, apanied by several men dressed in ck, walked over.


    The ck-d men recognized Ewan. "Mr. Ewan! What brings you here?"


    They then nced at Hailey and asked, "Is this your girlfriend?"


    "No!"


    "Yes!"


    Hailey and Ewan answered in unison.


    The men chuckled. "Oh, so this is Mr. Ewan'' n''s girlfriend. You brought


    = All friend. You brought y huh?"  100€?


    y here for some fun to 1.


    Hailey shot Ewan a death re. She had no idea what he was trying to pull.


    Wasn''t he in love with Melody? He had gone as far as cheating just to be with her.


    Hailey turned to Den and called out, "Den."


    The men were surprised. "Den, you know Mr. Ewan''s girl?"


    Hailey started to exin, "I''m not "


    Before she could finish, Den''s cold voice cut in, "We don''t know each other."


    Hailey froze upon hearing that. Den just said he didn''t know her.


    She felt hurt. His indifference stung her deeply.


    Den nced at her, then said, "I have things to do. I''ll be over there."


    With that, he turned and walked away.


    He was gone just like that.


    Hailey stood frozen in ce.


    One of the men in ck chuckled. "Mr. Ewan, Den isn''t much of a talker."


    Ewan smirked. "I can see that."


    "But Den is the type who gets things done. Ruthless, efficient, and highly capable. Our boss values him a lot Soon, this whole casino will be under his management."


    Ewanughed. "So, he''s fully


    stepped into this world now. The


    mean''s getting out won''t be easy."
