Renee knew Rocco ran a company, but she didn't know how rich he was. So, five million bucks meant nothing to him?
"Well... Actually, I wasn't gonna tell you, but I'm really desperate. Can you please lend me the money?
"I can write you an IOU. I promise, I'll pay you back." Renee saw hope again.
"It's fine. I'm going to visit your parents, and maybe we'll soon be family. Isn't my money your money?"
Renee was moved. "Rocco, you are so nice."
"You are my girlfriend, of course I should be nice to you. Where is your brother now? Let's go look for him.
"You don't want him to be alone on new year's, do you? Also, I bought some presents to pay a visit to your mother."
"No, I don't." Renee breathed a sigh of relief.
"Rocco, that means a lot. I don't know what I'd do without you. No one is willing to help me.
"I didn't tell my mom about this. She is in such a weak state that she will never be able to take this.
"I was upset when she made me breakfast today. I don't even know how to face her. She has done a lot for us, and I don't want her to get hurt again." "Don't worry. Leave this to me. Auntie will be fine." "Thank you, Rocco."
"It's what I should do."
She had only known him for a short time, but he treated her better than her so-called relatives. She really thanked him.
Rocco drove all the way to the casino. With him around, Renee was not so worried.
"Is this the casino?"
"Yes."
"You go in first. I'll park the car and catch you later."
"Okay." Renee happily went into the casino. After she got out of the car, Rocco's smile died and he dialed a person's number.
"I need you to do something."
Looking at Renee's cheerful back, he gave a smile. "I can't let my five million go down the drain, can I?"
Rocco was definitely the most dangerous beast. He wouldn't let go of any prey he wanted.
Carmen was watching TV alone in the apartment.
She didn't know why, but she felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.
The comedian tried to make the audience laugh, but she couldn't.
Her phone rang. Was it Leo? She must scold him for not coming home for the new year.
However, it was a strange number. She picked it up. "Hello."
She thought it was a new year call, but what she heard turned her face pale.
"What?! Leo's gonna get his feet chopped off and Renee's forced to be a prostitute?"
Her heart sank. In the end, she passed out and her phone fell to the ground.
When Carmen worked at the club, sometimes she'd get some sick customers. She went into a coma if she was too stressed or agitated.
There were coronary patients in her family, so she had a weak heart.
