Chapter 136 - Rawson Zhang (1/2)

Back at the hotel, Halia was still in disbelief from what Jackson told her about his family. As her heart ached, she leaned over and hugged him tightly in her arms. How could his family be so cruel?

At that moment, she suddenly received a message on her phone.

Halia glanced over and noticed it was a message from Sean.

”Sorry, I need to check that,” she said as she reached over for her phone.

But, the man quickly grabbed the phone and hid it behind his back.

”A kiss for your phone,” he said cheekily.

Halia looked at the man helplessly. How could he be taking advantage of her already?

With no choice, she leaned over and pecked him shyly on the lips. But, the man quickly hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her in for a long passionate kiss. He had to make up for lost time.

”You need to kiss me every day from now on,” he said dotingly. ”You don't know how hard it's been to live without it.”

Halia nodded her head and quickly grabbed her phone while the man didn't notice.

She then clicked into Sean's message: [You were right, Everett Pang is involved. But, I think the mastermind is his wife].

Halia's eyes opened wide in surprise. She had never even seen Carol Pang visit the casino. The only time she met her was at dinner. How did she manage to keep such a low profile?

At that moment, Halia realized something. She quickly turned to Jackson and said, ”I'm actually here on a mission.”

Jackson nodded his head, ”I thought that might be the case. Is there anything I can help you with?”

”No, but I think I might be able to help you,” Halia replied.

”Emerson's auntie and uncle, Carol Pang and Everett Pang are involved in a money-laundering scheme at your casino that may involve gangsters and junkets,” she explained. ”Could there be any reason that they'd target you so you wouldn't discover what they're doing?”

Jackson leaned over and placed a kiss on Halia's forehead. ”Thank you for telling me. I'll look into it further,” he said.

Halia felt her heart melt as she wrapped her arms around the man. ”I missed you so much,” she said.

Jackson hugged the woman dotingly, ”I missed you too.”

After spending another ten minutes together, Jackson left and returned to his own room. He wanted to stay, but he knew he couldn't risk being discovered.
