Suddenly, Chloe became the center of attention in the whole gaming hall.
Nathan carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Damon, "We may be loaded, but we can't afford Chloe's extravagant spending. If this keeps up, we're going to need millions to handle tonight!"
"As long as she's happy." Damon responded with a poker face.
Nathan chuckled a bit and gave Damon a thumbs up. "You're really something!"
Indeed, Damon was ready to give up even the Harper family's empire, let alone a few million.
"But your situation is different now. Without the support of the Harper family, your money will only decrease, not increase...careful you don't squander everything and can't afford to keep the family..."
Damon frowned. He didn't want to argue with Nathan, who was always talking nonsense, but the phrase "can't afford to keep the family" got to him. He gave Nathan a warning glance. "If I can't afford to keep the family, I'll sell you."
Nathan immediately crossed his arms, looking like he'd fight to the death to protect himself.
"What are you talking about? I won't agree to that! No one can get their hands on my body."
Chloe frowned helplessly. When would Nathan ever be serious?
Kane, on the other hand, was laughing so hard he couldn't stand straight. "Nathan, are you trying to kill me with laughter?!"
Nathan glared at him. "Or should I sell you?"
Kane instantly lost his smile. He huffed arrogantly, "My body belongs only to the woman I love."
With Nathan and Kane around, the journey would never be boring.
Chloe shook her head, looking somewhat bored, and took a seat on a high stool. Seeing her lack of enthusiasm, everyone crowded around her.
Nathan quickly walked over and sat down next to her. "Chloe, what's the matter, don't you want to play anymore?"
Kane chimed in, "There's still a lot we haven't tried. Maybe check out something else? We're here to have fun, so don't just go home like this."
Damon stood silently next to Nathan, not saying a word, his gaze fixed on Nathan.
Nathan felt a chill down his spine. He plucked up the courage to meet Damon's gaze, then looked down at Chloe next to him. Realizing something, he quickly stood up and offered his seat to Damon.
Damon sat down in Nathan's place without hesitation. Nathan rolled his eyes and thought to himself that Damon was really childish.
Chloe seemed oblivious to the little exchange between Nathan and Damon. She propped her chin on her hand and tapped the table with her other hand out of boredom.
Being the target in the casino, Chloe naturally attracted attention. Seeing their target lose interest, others started to get anxious. They couldn't just let a newbie who knew nothing about casinos just walk away.
A few people slowly approached Chloe. "Hello, would you like to join us for a few games?"
Chloe looked up, her gaze sweeping over the few people in front of her. Their faces were relaxed, and their eyes were filled with obvious greed.
