Chapter 438 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• If it weren’t for Mrs. Kelley stepping in last night, who knows how things would’ve turned out Holding the documents in his hands, Liam pondered for a moment before asking. “Does Mason know about this?” “Mr. Fletcher was at the hotel and even called the police that night. He probably doesn’t know this, but the one at the hotel was Ms. Garcia. She might’ve dropped the case to save face” “Unaware…” Liam repeated, deep in thought. He then placed the documents on the table and said with a serious tone. “The two underground casinos in East Town, we need to help the police investigate them. It’s almost the holiday season, let’s give everyone a boost in performance Owen got his drift. The two underground casinos in East Town were Ramsey’s.
• The gamblers there ranged from high–ranking officials to ordinary people, all sorts were present Every year, gamblers ended up taking their own lives after losing everything, making the casinos a cancer on society Who owned the casinos was no secret in the business world, but their locations often changed Every gambler had to be introduced and vetted before they could enter The gamblers didn’t want to divulge any information about the casinos, and those who knew about them but weren’t addicted didn’t want to invite trouble After all, the casinos had been in operation for years and Ramsey had laundered so much dirty money Without inside help, it wouldn’t have been so smooth Liam had a friend, a college classmate, who jumped off a building last year due to gambling debts He used to be a manager in an investment bank, earning millions a year and was a standout in his field. But he got hooked on gambling, became lazy at work, and was eventually sacked after several unsuccessful talks with the company. He spent all his time at the casino At the start of last year, he came to Liam for a loan, saying his family member had a terminal illness and that he had lost all his money in the stock market Without saying much, Liam gave him two million.
• Less than a month later, he came back to borrow more money, claiming it wasn’t enough. Liam found it strange at the time and had it checked out, which revealed the problem. This once upstanding man had become addicted to gambling, lost everything, and didn’t want to change. The loaned money wasn’t used to pay off his debts, but for gambling. Liam didn’t loan him any more money and called the police instead. Gambling is a bottomless pit. There’s no quitting and no getting the loaned money back. His friend was detained for a month and then released. Liam wrote him a letter of recommendation and found him a new job.
