It was easy for them to say! What kind of deed was this for him to execute? Just as he was simmering in his anger, he saw the both of them looking star-struck. He turned around and saw a woman who was clutching her clothes in front of her chest, walking slowly behind Carson. When Alicia cback, she was wearing an elegant wine-red dress. Under the spotlight, her beautiful skin glowed. She was breathtaking and beautiful.
Although it was just a different outfit, it was as if she was a different person! She could obviously feel the gazes upon her and hear the gasps of the crowd. Her head hung low along the way; her hand was tugging on her outfit and she was afraid to walk too fast. Once she reached Frederick's side, only then did she lean on him.
"Hubby..." Before she could even explain, a reprimanding voice sounded, "Where are you looking? Don't you want your eyes anymore?" She was stunned. In the next second, all three of them looked away.
Alicia flushed and covered the front part of her body. She hung her head even lower and said, "I'm sorry, Hubby. I accidentally dirtied my clothes just now! How about you get someone to get my cardigan later?" Frederick glanced at the three of them. Knowing that it wasn't her fault, he held her in his arms. "Alright, I'll get someone to get it for you! We will be leaving right after we're done here!" He said. While talking, he gave the car keys to Carson.
Hearing this, Willy immediately spoke up.
"I heard that this hotel is doing an anniversary celebration and has a lot of activities. Why don't we join it? It's such an opportunity!" Trevor tagged along awkwardly and said, "That's right! Let's go together! At least get sfun out of it!" "Exactly! I heard that there's a lot of fun stuff to do! Frederick, bring Alicia along to have sfun!" After Carson finished his sentence, a cold glare shot at him. He shrunk in fear and said, "I'll get Alicia's cardigan immediately!" Frederick hugged her waist and turned around.

She still thought that it was an anniversary event and they were going to have sfun, hence she was still quite happy about it.
As they entered the underground space, she felt that something was not right when she saw all the bodyguards in black. When she saw Willy showing scards for them to enter smoothly, and Trevor holding a black briefcase in his hands, all of a sudden, she felt even more confused.
Wouldn't an anniversary event be better if it was merrier? Why would they restrict people? When she walked in and heard the loud noises, she looked up and saw the lavishly furnished hall with many people around, but there were only four gambling tables. Besides, there was smoke everywhere and it was very noisy. Men and women all gathered around together. It was even more hectic and luxurious than it was upstairs.
At that moment, she finally understood. No wonder there were even bodyguards around! It was... Frederick looked around briefly and took a rose that was on the plate held by the waiter. He gave the rose to Alicia.
He said, "Let's go! Let's walk around..." She reached out and received the rose. She smiled and answered him, "Alright!" Seeing that Frederick had his other hand in his pocket, she went along and held his arm. As they walked forward, he would pause at each table for about five to ten minutes.
After going from table to table, they finally settled on table 3. He looked around and found a spot. Naturally he brought Alicia forward, heading towards the seat. However, the seat was decupied hence Frederick only stood around in the beginning, and spectated for two rounds. Only then. did he speak up.
"Shall we play a round or two? How about winning something for my sweetheart? What would you like?" Although she wasn't sure what it was like, she still had sidea about it. Last twhen she was with Jeremy, Alicia used to play scards in the club. Looking this event, this must have been quite a huge gamble. The wages on the cards were probably the bet wages, and the gwas most probably played in cash.
She thought he was just joking around hence she didn't give much thought to it. She simply said, "It would be best if you could win a property!" Everyone knew that property was the hottest trend at the moment! Besides being a worthy investment, she also thought that it was the best thing that could match his identity.
She was actually just joking around and it was a carefree statement. However, Frederick agreed and nodded, "Alright!" In the next moment, he unfastened the buttons on his coat. With a look, the servant had already prepared a plate of bet wages over.
"Mr. Clements, your bet wages. Ten million dollars!" Alicia turned around immediately and couldn't help but be shocked as well. She then tugged on Frederick's sleeve as if she was trying to say, "I was just simply speaking! You don't have to take it so seriously!" Their conversation with the servant was heard by the people around them. The person who was occupying the seat was losing and looked behind only to see that it was Frederick. The person then got up and gave him his seat. Frederick simply grabbed the largest bet wage and threw it at the man. The man only answered him stafter recovering from the shock, "Thank you, Mr. Clements!" For them, even for wins or losses, the most it would be was around five hundred thousand dollars. With these few bet wages, it would cover everything! The man was extremely delighted.
As Frederick sat down, he signaled Alicia with his hand and she also sat by his side! It was obvious that he was a wealthy man. With the servant following them behind and Alicia, who caught the eyes of everyone, they naturally becthe center of attention.
Although there were quite a few rich people at the table, there weren't many who dared to gamble with him. Herfee, when Frederick sat down the long table which was once packed with people was only deft with four or five people.
Then, he threw in sbet wages. Frederick simply played for a round or two, losing miserably.

Holding her breath, Alicia's eyes widened as she looked around. She didn't even dare to take a deep breath. Just as she gave an unsettled look at Frederick, he threw the cards on the table. "No offense, I shall take it all!" He said calmly.
In the next moment, the bet wages on the table had doubled.
It was as if it was as easy as blinking. The bet wages that were left with only a few suddenly piled up into a mountain. Alicia was shocked at this scene.
"Thank you for lettingwin!"
One match after another, with only a Candw sentence, the whole crowd went wild. She was in awe and was also very excited. She looked up to him tremendously. She got up and gave him a passionate kiss! "We won! We won again! Hubby, you're the best!" Our winnings were definitely more than doubled! How amazing! Just as they were celebrating, someone stopped opposite of them. An intense gaze was staring at her hot, sexy body! Frederick got up and said, "We have the property now! Let's go!" "Leaving after you win? That isn't that nice, sir. Why don't we play together for srounds?" The man was speaking in English. After he finished his sentence, his bodyguard poured his bet wages on the table. At the stime, what was placed on the table was a knife.
Alicia's heart had a twisted feeling when she looked at the man. At first glance, she already felt that the m e man's gaze on her was not a friendly one. It was a lustful gaze as if he wanted to have her in front of everyone...
