Chapter 602


    When he saw Eliana’s reaction, Jonathan hugged her tightly and said in a pained voice, “Eliana, I’m


    sorry. I failed to protect you. When the car ident happened, the broken ss scratched your face.”


    “So, you mean… I’ve been disfigured?”


    A wave of disbelief washed over Eliana, and her mind went nk. She could not ept such


    devastating news.


    “You will be fine. Trust me! I can help you heal,” Jonathan promised her sincerely.


    Then he added, “Eliana, just stay here for now, okay? I’m afraid you’ll scare the kids if you go back


    looking like this. Don’t worry. I have arranged for you to be treated by the best doctors. Your face will be


    fixed soon.”


    Eliana’s gaze was unfocused and she totally missed Jonathan’s reassurances.


    Soon, the tranquilizer had taken full effect and she had fallen asleep.


    She also missed the weird expression on Jonathan’s face.


    After he put Eliana back in bed, the sad expression on Jonathan’s face disappeared, and he calmly


    walked out of the ward.


    His assistant immediately walked over to him and reported, “Mr. Bowman, Maurice has taken action.


    He must know that we took Eliana, and he has already sent his men to look for her in our territories.”


    “It doesn’t matter. I saw thising. It’s just a little game,” Jonathan said calmly. “Eliana’s in our hands


    now. He’s sure to fail!”


    That night, Jonathan had his assistant make him an appointment to meet Maurice in the casino.


    On the road, a silver Maybach drove towards the casino.


    The casino had been cleared of people. Jonathan sat in the center, waiting for Maurice to arrive.


    Not long after, Maurice aggressively entered with his men in tow.


    The moment he entered, the two men’s eyes met.


    Although they had investigated each other thoroughly, this was their first meeting in person.


    The two men, one standing and one sitting, had an equally domineering presence.


    Jonathan looked at Maurice and said provocatively, “Mr. Moran, since we’re in a casino, do you want to


    y a game?”


    “Okay. What’s the bet?” There was a murderous look in Maurice’s eyes as he red at Jonathan.


    “If you win, I’ll tell you where Eliana is.”


    Jonathan was confident that Maurice would agree to this bet. With Eliana in his hand, Maurice had no


    choice but to y by his rules.


    “It’s a deal,” said Maurice with a slight change of expression in his eyes. “But I never gamble. How


    about we y something else?”


    “What do you propose?” Jonathan was interested.


    “Darts.” Maurice turned his head and looked at the target nearby. “Let’s y darts.”


    Jonathan was not interested in darts, but then he had a thought and happily agreed to Maurice’s


    suggestion.


    “All right, but shooting an ordinary target is boring. How about we change the target?”


    Maurice frowned. He had a bad feeling about this.


    Sure enough, Jonathan chuckled and said, “Let’s have our assistants be the targets. What do you


    think?”


    Jonathan turned around to give his assistant a look.


    Without hesitation, his assistant walked forward and stood in ce with the dartboard over his head.


    “So how about it? Do you still want to y darts?”


    Maurice turned to look at his assistant.


    Maurice turned to look at his assistant.


    Corbin immediately turned his head and looked away.


    Maurice could only say, “I will give you a raise!”


    A raise! This got Corbin’s attention.


    “How much?” Corbin asked.


    “Think of a number and tell me after the game.”


    Maurice’s offer was tempting. As expected, Corbin couldn’t help but take the bait.


    “Okay, deal!”


    Corbin walked up to the dartboard.


    He would just be a human target for tonight. It was no big deal. After all, he believed in his boss.


    Soon the game began.


    The rule was that each yer had a total of ten darts. Each assistant held a target above his head. The


    yers would take turns to shoot, and whoever got a higher score in the end would be dered the


    winner.


    But Maurice and Jonathan were both excellent at darts. The first game ended in a tie. Seeing that the


    competition ended in a draw, they had to upgrade the game. They decided to y the next round


    blindfolded.


    In such a fiercepetition, they risked hurting their assistants if they weren’t careful.


    Sure enough, after the two yers were blindfolded, Jonathan’s assistant began to feel nervous about


    what he had agreed to. Due to the pressure, he couldn’t help trembling in thest round.


    As a result, Jonathan’sst dart missed the target.


    On the other side, Corbin remained calm and motionless, and Maurice’s dart flew to hit the center of


    the dartboard.


    And with that, thepetition was over.


    Maurice removed his blindfold and sneered, “I win.”Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
