Chapter 138 - Biggest Shareholder (1/2)

Everett and Carol smiled at Jackson and sat down.

”Jackson, Everett told me you lost your memory,” Rawson said, pretending to sound worried. ”Do you remember me, brother?”

Jackson shook his head. He had a feeling this man had something sly planned. When did he ever speak to him so affectionately?

”We met about 12 years ago in Shanghai. At that time, you told me you were homeless with no friends nor family. So, I took you in and treated you like my own brother. For four years, we were practically inseperable, until I was framed for a crime and was thrown into prison for 7 years. The entire time I was in there, I was so worried about you that when I was released, I tried to look for you. I ended up hearing that you joined the gangs in France and returned to Beijing as an arms dealer. I was so happy to hear that you were doing well, so I didn't try to get in contact, but then I ended up seeing you here,” Rawson explained.

”Who would have thought that you were actually the son of casino tycoon, Jack Wu!” the man gasped.

Jackson tried not to roll his eyes. This man made it sound like he had saved him off the streets and treated him like his brother. But, Jackson remembered clearly that the man had merely exploited him because of his situation. Just like he did with many other homeless teens.

Above all, he was never 'framed for a crime'. Jackson was there when the man committed fraud and tried to print fake money. He was also the one that gathered critical evidence against him and put him in prison. He deserved to be there for 7 years. In fact, he should have been sentenced to more if the legal system wasn't flawed.

”Since fate brought us together again, I would like to discuss some business with you,” the old man grinned.

Jackson sighed on the inside. The look in the man's eyes told him he was doing something illegal. This man didn't know what was good for him. Didn't 7 years teach him anything?

”You must still have connections in France and Beijing. I run a junket business here in Macau. If you would like to work with me, we can get them to visit the casino and Everett will be able to set them up with a good deal. Once they're here, we could assist them with any 'money issues' they may have,” the man said suggestively.

In other words, he was referring to money laundering. Halia was right about Everett and Carol.

Everett and Carol smiled slyly at Jackson, while Jackson glanced at Amelie.

Amelie had no idea what was happening since she didn't understand the language, but she could sense that something was wrong.
