Chapter 573
Halsey stood frozen in place. She had never seen this side of Dwiply before.
Gilbert laughed. “Halsey, do you see it now? Is this still the Dwight you thought you knew? Now he’s in a casino, mixing with the wrong crowd. He’s living in a completely different world from yours. He’s not worthy of you.”
Halsey turned to Gilbert, finally understanding why he had brough her here. It seemed he already knew Dwight would be here.
“No matter what Dwight is like, it’s not for you to judge. You don’t have the right to say anything about him!”
Gilbert raised an eyebrow. Even now, you’re defending him? Did he put some kind of spell on you?”
“That’s none of your business! I don’t want to stay here. I’m going home,” Halsey said as she turned to leave.
But Gilbert blocked her path. “He’s right up ahead. Aren’t you going to at least say hi to him?”
“There’s no need. Move out of any way!”
Halsey didn’t understand why Dwight was here, but she could feel that he didn’t want to see her here. So, she decided to quietly
leave.
Gilbert wasn’t going to let her have it her way. He grabbed her arm firmly. “Come on. I’m taking you to say hello.”
“No, let go of me! Don’t touch me!”
Halsey struggled to break free, but Gilbert’s grip was too strong. She couldn’t shake him off.
At that moment, Halsey sensed a cold, piercing gaze on her face. She looked up, and her eyes met Dwight’s sharp, emotionless
stare.
Dwight had already seen her with Gilbert.
The two locked eyes, and Halsey froze.
Gilbert was looking at Dwight, too. A sly smile appeared on his lips, and he pulled Halsey closer, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace. “Been a while.”
Halsey, feeling trapped, shoved Gilbert away. She wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face.
Dwight, followed by his group of men in black, walked over. The men recognized Gilbert right away. “Gilbert! What brings you here?”
The black–clad men turned to Halsey. “Is this your girlfriend?”
Halsey quickly snapped, “No!”
Gilbert, however, answered, “Yes!”
They spoke in unison, both their voices ringing out.
The men in black grinned. “Ah, so this is Gilbert’s girlfriend. Looks like he brought his girlfriend to play with us tonight.”
Halsey glared fiercely at Gilbert. She couldn’t understand what was going on.
Wasn’t he in love with Sienna? He’d gone through all that trouble to be with her, even cheating on Halsey to stay together.
Halsey glanced at Dwight, calling out, “Dwight!
The black–clad men froze before turning to Dwight. “You know Gilbert’s girlfriend?”
Halsey started to explain, “I’m not–”
Before she could finish, she heard Dwight’s cold voice. “We don’t know each other.”

Halsey froze, shocked. Dwight had said he didn’t know her..
A hurt feeling rushed through her. His cold, indifferent attitude stng more than she expected. Dwight glanced at Halsey briefly, then said, “I’ve got things to dom heading over there.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
He was gone.
Halsey remained motionless, stunned.
The black–clad men watched Gilbert with a kind of respectful attention. “He’s always been cold.”
“I noticed,” Gilbert casually replied.
“He’s one of those people who doesn’t say much but gets things done. He’s fast, efficient, and highly capable. Our boss really likes him. In the future, this casino will be in Dwight’s hands.”
