Chapter 72 The Gamble (Part Two) (2/2)

Brian showed no surprise when Edgar didn't start the betting and instead, mentioned other things beyond the game. He didn't say anything back and a faint smile appeared on his calm face.

”I think it will be much brighter inside if a window is opened at that side, ” said Edgar, who turned to Bill standing next to him a

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

no doubt that neither of them was a simple person.

Edgar didn't know how Molly had entered Brian's circle. He had tried to find her parents for some time and when he found out that they had been in the Empire Hospital, he figured out a new plan.

Aside from that, he had heard another piece of news. Tyler had died on the high seas. He had been stabbed with a knife and then thrown into the sea; none of the wounds all over his body were fatal, yet he had not recovered from any of them. He just bled, got infected, and died!

He had been murdered brutally, yet it had been done very efficiently, with no clues left to who had done it.

After thinking for a while, Edgar lowered his head and said, ”Hah, it sounds interesting! However, she's your woman. Even not, do you think that I'll be interested in a loose woman?”

At that very moment, the door was pushed open and a waitress in uniform stepped into the room, with a bottle of red wine on the tray on her hand.

She had arrived at the room at the exact moment when Edgar had started speaking, so she moved her gaze towards his direction out of curiosity. But before she was astounded by the presence of both Edgar and Brian in the room, the words coming from Edgar's mouth had already left her dumbfounded.
