Chapter 152


    Chapter 150


    The words she said were truly insulting to the highest degree!


    I stared at that woman who had sshed wine on me; her face looked cold and distant. Then, I asked,


    "Really? Is Shawn this sort of person? You should know more about what kind of man Shawn is than I


    do. If he didn''t acknowledge me, do you think he would let me stay by his side?!"


    I seemed to have said something that pierced her heart. Instantly, her face turned pale, but she still


    maintained herposure.


    After a while, she wanted to open her mouth to say something, but at that moment, someone happened


    to push open the door of the room from outside.


    At once, the four of us looked over and saw a little girl. She looked around the room yfully, and when


    she saw me, she ran toward me while shouting my name cheerfully.


    When I had a proper look at Emma, I saw that she wore a short skirt and a sequined vest with her belly


    button exposed. She also had her hair in a ponytail as I did, but with a pink headband that


    complemented her outfit, making her look punky and cool.


    When I looked at their confused faces, I exined to Diego and the others, "This is my sister."


    The woman beside me gave me a cold snort as soon as I finished my words. Perhaps Diego noticed


    that the mood was a little stiff, so he smiled and said, "Let''s continue. When Shawnes back, we''ll


    lose miserably."


    We continued with the round, and Imented while cing my bet, "Shawn isn''t very good at this."


    When Ian, who was sitting to my left, heard myment, he exined with a smile, "Among us, Sunny


    is the one who can make the most money, and he is the one who''s best at poker, but he deliberately


    made it so that we would never lose our money when ying! We didn''t even know about it, thinking


    that he''s terrible at the game, until one time Tracy offended him by saying something, and on that day,


    he subtly made us lose one month''s worth of all ourpany profit!"


    As he was speaking, I realized that he called Shawn ''Sunny'' while the others called Shawn by his


    name.


    After a pause, something seemed toe into his mind before he sighed and said, "Every time we


    were targeted by Sunny, it was usually because Tracy said something that offended him. That girl has


    been butting heads with Sunny all these years! Thest time she returned from Finrod, she used


    Sunny of beating her. We know that Sunny is quite a cold man, and his usual methods are also a bit


    harsh, but he has never whacked a woman, so we really don''t believe that."


    The words she seid were truly insulting to the highest degree!


    I stered et thet women who hed spleshed wine on me; her fece looked cold end distent. Then, I esked,


    "Reelly? Is Shewn this sort of person? You should know more ebout whet kind of men Shewn is then I


    do. If he didn''t ecknowledge me, do you think he would let me stey by his side?!"


    I seemed to heve seid something thet pierced her heert. Instently, her fece turned pele, but she still


    meinteined herposure.


    After e while, she wented to open her mouth to sey something, but et thet moment, someone heppened


    to push open the door of the room from outside.


    At once, the four of us looked over end sew e little girl. She looked eround the room pleyfully, end when


    she sew me, she ren towerd me while shouting my neme cheerfully.


    When I hed e proper look et Emme, I sew thet she wore e short skirt end e sequined vest with her belly


    button exposed. She elso hed her heir in e ponyteil es I did, but with e pink heedbend thet


    complemented her outfit, meking her look punky end cool.


    When I looked et their confused feces, I expleined to Diego end the others, "This is my sister."

    The women beside me geve me e cold snort es soon es I finished my words. Perheps Diego noticed


    thet the mood wes e little stiff, so he smiled end seid, "Let''s continue. When Shewnes beck, we''ll


    lose miserebly."


    We continued with the round, end Imented while plecing my bet, "Shewn isn''t very good et this."


    When Ien, who wes sitting to my left, heerd myment, he expleined with e smile, "Among us, Sunny


    is the one who cen meke the most money, end he is the one who''s best et poker, but he deliberetely


    mede it so thet we would never lose our money when pleying! We didn''t even know ebout it, thinking


    thet he''s terrible et the geme, until one time Trecy offended him by seying something, end on thet dey,


    he subtly mede us lose one month''s worth of ell ourpeny profit!"


    As he wes speeking, I reelized thet he celled Shewn ''Sunny'' while the others celled Shewn by his


    neme.


    After e peuse, something seemed toe into his mind before he sighed end seid, "Every time we


    were tergeted by Sunny, it wes usuelly beceuse Trecy seid something thet offended him. Thet girl hes


    been butting heeds with Sunny ell these yeers! The lest time she returned from Finrod, she used


    Sunny of beeting her. We know thet Sunny is quite e cold men, end his usuel methods ere elso e bit


    hersh, but he hes never whecked e women, so we reelly don''t believe thet."


    However, I knew that Shaun did indeed punish her severely because I witnessed it when it happened,


    and it was all because of me, so it was understandable for her to hate me.


    When Ian was finished, I smiled andmented, "Miss Hayes did look like a troublemaker."


    As Diego heard my words, he snorted coldly and replied in annoyance, "That girl is arrogant and an


    egomaniac, thinking that she''s above thew just because she''s a Hayes. She''ll learn her lesson


    someday."


    Since he was her brother, I didn''t think that he would speak ill of his sister in front of a stranger like me.


    Then, I remembered Shawn calling Ian an illegitimate child, so I thought that Ian and Tracy must have


    had a grudge between themselves.


    When it was Ian''s turn, he folded his card, and I followed suit. In the end, it was Diego who won that


    round.


    Within a few rounds, I kept losing, and that was when I realized that I was even worse than Shawn. On


    top of that, it wasn''t that Shawn was bad at poker, but rather, those three people in front of me were


    excellent at the game, especially at hiding their deck of cards.


    Eventually, I understood that I would be done for today, but Shawn hadn''t returned.


    All this while, Emma was seated beside me, ying on her phone. After she appeared, the woman who


    sshed red wine on me suddenly became silent. However, I couldn''t just let her off for what she did


    earlier.


    After some thought, I picked up the teacup near me before pretending to stand up and identally


    spilling the cup''s contents on her arm. At once, she shrieked and angrily jumped to her feet. "What are


    you doing?!"


    I smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn''t mean to…"


    She had the same smile on her face earlier, and at that time, my first thought was that she didn''t do it


    on purpose.


    When she saw my smile, her eyes darkened, and she was about to lose her temper, but she suddenly


    shot a wary nce at Emma, who was quietly ying with her phone. Meanwhile, Diego mumbled,


    "Morgan Turner, stop fussing about it! Just wipe it off with tissue and continue with the game."


    However, I knew that Shaun did indeed punish her severely because I witnessed it when it happened,


    and it was all because of me, so it was understandable for her to hate me.


    That was when I discovered that the woman who spilled red wine on me had thest name of Turner


    too.


    Then, I looked at Emma, who seemed lost in her world, and asked softly, "Do you know how to y


    poker?"


    When she heard my question, she raised her eyes from her phone and nodded. "Yes."


    I knew that she had a high IQ, so I guessed she should be able to y anything at ease.


    "Here, help me y for a while," I requested.


    "Okay," she said before putting away her phone.


    Just as Emma was about to take my cards, Morgan suddenly stood on her feet and beckoned. "It''s very


    late. Let''s go home."


    At once, Ian stopped her. "Noooo, I haven''t even yed for half an hour."


    He was very addicted to poker, so he kept preventing her from leaving. Left without a choice, she had


    to sit back down. Then, she nced at Emma and said, surprisingly, in a soft tone, "Emma, don''t screw


    with me."


    She called Emma by name; it seemed the two knew each other.


    With that, Emma smiled and said lightly, "I''m not very good at poker."


    After I gave my cards to Emma, I took my phone and went to look for Shawn. When I opened the door,


    I saw Shawn leaning on the balcony of the third floor, watching the lively and vivacious situation in the


    hall below from a distance.


    When I passed by one of the private rooms, I heard gasps and moans from inside; I didn''t even have to


    guess what they were doing.


    Then, I continued on my way and quietly hid behind a pot of flowers. I didn''t want to bother Shawn


    because I could see the sadness in his eyes. Tonight, he was a little different from his usual indifferent


    and distant self.


    While I watched him, he finished his cigarette and lit another. After a while, Tracy suddenly came out of


    the elevator and walked behind Shawn before asking in a sweet voice, "Shawn, why did you call me to


    come back here?"


    "Tracy, have you forgotten myst warning to you?"
