Chapter 544 Beautiful Friend (1/2)

”You don't need to be grateful, Moore. I just hope that you won't regret your choices. I heard that Edna's business have skyrocketed over the past few years,”

Jean said in haste with a reluctant smile.

Moore sneered at Jean's comment. ”Her business will still be meaningless regardless of how huge of a deal it becomes. Hanley spent money so extravagantly. Her money would not be enough to compensate for her son's enormous amount of bets.” He shrugged carelessly.

”Well, you know Hanley is addicted to gambling.” Jean's eyes widened in surprise at Moore for knowing about Hanley's addiction to gambling. After a while, she smiled and said, ”Does knowing about Hanley's like for gambling mean you also care about him?”

”Of course not. I was just bothered by him so much that I paid more attention to him. After all, you have to know someone's whereabouts when one always comes only to cause you troubles, so that you will have an idea on how to deal with him when the time comes.”

A bitter smile formed on Moore's face as he uttered these words.

”And so, if I got it right, you are going to use this detail about him to threaten him, so he would stop badgering you?” With a frown on her face, Jean asked Moore very skeptically.

”If not, then what else can I do? Besides, there are already evidences that prove I am right. Aren't they?” Without removing his gaze on Jean, Moore continued, ”I wouldn't have given up and threatened him to come to a compromise if I didn't know that he was addicted to gambling and needed money for all the debts.”

Jean nodded. ”Well, that also sounds reasonable.” She paused and continued, ”I don't know what you are thinking, but whatever you decide, I hope that you can be happy in the end.”

Moore stared at Jean a little gratefully despite being full of bitterness.

'Jean, I know that you don't believe what I have said. I even can't believe it myself.

One thing is for sure. I hate all members of the Bai family, a lot more than I can imagine. More so, I hate them finding me and badgering me every chance they could get, again and again and one after another.

In order to lead a happy and peaceful life as before, I have no choice but to give up... to give up all that I shouldn't have had.

I know that you feel sorry for me, but nothing else is more important for me than you at this very moment. Do you know that?

No, of course, you surely don't know that.
