Halsey wanted to get out of the car.
Gilbert braced his hand against the roof. “I’m taking you to see Dwight. Don’t you want to see him?”
Halsey froze for a moment.
Gilbert shut the passenger door and moved to the driver’s side. He pressed the gas, and the sleek Porsche roared to life, speeding off with a thrilling sound.
Meanwhile, Sienna, still sitting on the ground, was completely ignored. She felt invisible.
“Gilbert! Where are you going? How could you leave me here? I’m your girlfriend!”
Sienna’s frustration grew to the point of madness.
Half an hour later, the shiny Porsche came to a stop outside a casino. Halsey got out of the car and asked, “What are we doing here?”
Gilbert smiled. “Do you know what this place is?”
Halsey nodded. “Yeah, I know. This is a casino. It’s not exactly a good place, and I don’t want to go inside.”
Gilbert’s eyes glinted. “You don’t want to go inside? But your boyfriend is in there!”
What?
Halsey gasped, shocked. She stared at Gilbert, her voice rising. “What are you talking about? Dwight can’t possibly be in there!” Gilbert chuckled. “Halsey, I’ve told you before–you don’t really know Dwight. Now, I’ll take you in so you can see for yourself what kind of person he really is!”
Without giving her a chance to protest, Gilbert pulled her inside.
The place was smoky and chaotic, filled with all kinds of people, sitting around gambling tables, their faces flushed with
excitement.
Halsey was uncomfortable. A pampered heiress, she was used to a sheltered life and had never been in a place like this.
“Are you lying to me? Dwight couldn’t be here. I want to leave.”
She turned to go, but Gilbert grabbed her arm. “Look up. See who’s ahead!”
Halsey lifted her gaze and saw Dwight.
Dwight was wearing a black outfit, just coming out of a room. He held a cigarette between his fingers and was taking a slow drag. His sharp features and short–cropped hair gave him an air of wildness.
Behind him, a few of his lackeys were speaking to him. “Dwight, we’ve got a guy here who hasn’t paid his debts.”
Several of Dwight’s men shoved a middle–aged man to the ground. The man was groveling at Dwight’s feet.
“Please! I swear I’m not refusing to pay. I’m just out of money. My wife’s in the hospital with a serious illness, and I had to take my kids‘ school fees to gamble… I’m broke now, please.”
Dwight walked over to the man, his eyes cold and unfeeling. He took another drag of his cigarette, squatted down, and casually blew smoke right in the man’s face.
“If you really need the money, you’ll find a way. Like, for example, selling your house,” he said, his voice dripping with disdain. The man’s face went pale. “No, I can’t do that! That’s the house my parents lived in. If I sell it, I’ll kill them!”

Dwight exhaled another puff of smoke. “So now you’re broke, and you’re forcing me into a corner. If you don’t pay your debt, there will be consequences.”
The man shook his head desperately. “Please, no! I’m begging you Spare me!”
Dwight stood up and glanced at his men.
One of the lackeys took a knife and pressed it against the man’s hand. With a swift motion, he brought the knife down.
“Ah!”
The scream pierced through the air, making Halsey flinch. The sound was so sharp, it seemed to echo in her ears. Halsey watched as blood splattered onto Dwight’s face. He wiped it off indifferently with the back of his hand.
This side of Dwight, the coldness, the ruthless power–he felt like a completely different person to Halsey. The man she had once known was suddenly a stranger.
