Chapter 718


    Chuck knew that Adriana would make an appearance, but he didn''t expect that she would make


    such a big move. How many things was she going to send over?


    Did the Whitlock family no longer want to be the hidden family?


    The guests were dumbfounded. There were so many gifts. They wondered who sent them over.


    Some of the guys nced at Chuck and looked at him with respect. Few were even afraid of him!


    If Chuck didn''t know any big shots, it was absolutely impossible that someone would send so many


    gifts to him!


    Wi sighed. She was beaten by Adriana''s bodyguard, Nelson, the other day and was still


    recovering from her injuries. However, Adriana appeared again, and she did not know how to deal


    with her.


    The future heiress, Adriana, was simply too capable!


    Wi was influential in the country, yet she feltpletely defeated.


    Adriana was like a mountain that couldn''t be conquered!


    Elise who had just sent over the cannon became jealous. She said, "What? They are all useless


    things. Do you think that my family can''t afford them?"


    Of course, the Lawrence family could afford it!


    After all, the Lawrence family was one of the Four Greatest Households.


    "Tons of gold! Antique vases!...A congrattory gift from Miss Adriana to Mr. Cannon for his casino


    opening!"


    A man walked over and started reading out the list of gifts.


    His men repeated the words. Their voices were deafening.


    It resounded through the entire casino!


    Their voices shocked all the guests.


    "Who is this Miss Adriana they''re talking about?"


    "I don''t know, but she must be from some influential family!"


    "The casino''s owner is really something! He knows so many big families in the United States!"


    Their amazement continued to reverberate. Elise represented the Lawrence family, which was


    already beyond their imagination. In an instant, he received yet another gift from another influential


    family!


    Matthias, who had just lost a bet to Chuck, was appalled.


    Who the hell was he betting with a moment ago?


    Chuck''s face was expressionless, "Take all of these back!"


    Whoosh!


    The audience burst into an uproar.


    "Goodness! Someone who can afford to send so many gifts, has to be from a rich family. How can


    Chuck just refuse it?"


    "Sorry, Mr. Cannon, we... can you please ept it?" The leader''s face turned pale.


    Adriana had given them a deadly order. The gift must be delivered to and epted by Chuck!


    If they couldn''tplete the order, they would not be able to return home.


    "Please, Mr. Cannon, can you please ept it?" The other men sounded in agreement, their faces


    were ashen and pale!


    Chuck''s refusal scared them.


    Everyone was shocked to see the men begging for Chuck to ept the gifts. What the f*ck was this


    all about?


    Chuck sighed. Adriana was forcing him to ept the gifts!


    "Forget it, leave them here." Chuck understood their situation, so there was nothing he could do.


    Adriana knew that he couldn''t bear to refuse them!


    "Thank you, Mr. Cannon!"


    The men were truly grateful. They ce the gifts down and left in an orderly manner.


    This really gave the people quite a shock.


    "Patricia, get someone to put these things away." Chuck would definitely not be touching the gifts.


    No matter how precious and rare these were, he had to give them back to her.


    "Yes." Patricia was also astonished. Who on earth was the person who sent Chuck these gifts?


    Gold was previously given for the lobby pavement. Now, gold was given again through all these


    antiques. She couldn''t imagine who could have sent all these things.


    For sure, the Dawson family could not bepared to this!


    The guests were surprised. Chuck smiled and asked them to carry on with their games which they


    eventually did.


    The casino opening was a sess!


    Chuck had confidence that he could build his own business empire!


    Later, Chuck asked Wi and Yvette for a talk. Elise also joined them. She wasn''t invited initially, but


    because she hade from afar, he just let her join in.


    "Chuck really doesn''t know how to appreciate your gift. How dare he refuse them!"


    In the luxury car, Nelson was expressing his dissatisfaction and displeasure towards Chuck.


    There was no expression on Adriana''s face. She had expected Chuck to do that, but didn''t he end


    up epting the gifts anyway?


    "Are we still going to wait for him?" Nelson asked.


    Did Adriana want to have a celebratory feast with Chuck?


    "Yes, this is Chuck''s first project. So, I have to support him!" Adriana closed her eyes for a rest.


    Backstage, Chuck met with a few famous celebrities while Wi and Yvette were busy helping out at


    the casino with Elise.


    Chuck asked her to leave, but she refused and insisted on staying there.


    It was not good for Chuck to chase her away, so he had no choice but to let her be. Perhaps they


    could have a meal togetherter.


    When Chuck stepped outside, he knew Adriana was nearby.

    Soon, he caught sight of Adriana''s car while ck Rose watched from a distance. She would not let


    Chuck leave her sight.


    "Have dinner with me. I''ve prepared a celebration for the opening of your casino! But I''m inviting you


    only. No one else is invited." Adriana had already booked a restaurant and prepared something


    special for them. Chuck could have anything he wanted to be made from the hands of the private


    chefs from the Whitlock family.


    "Sorry, but I won''t go!" Chuck shook his head. He wanted to be direct with Adriana.


    "Chuck, I''ve been very patient. What else do you want from me?" Adriana was exasperated by


    Chuck''s words.


    Nelson smiled coldly and thought, "Now that you have infuriated her, you must die -regardless of


    who you are!"


    "Nothing." Chuck said calmly.


    "Alright, you''ve really exhausted my patience." Adriana closed her eyes and said, "Drive!"


    Nelson drove off with Adriana.


    Chuck went silent for a few seconds and then walked back into the casino.


    His eyes met ck Rose''s cold gaze. "What did you do to her? Why is she pestering you?"


    ck Rose felt ufortable with this situation.


    "I didn''t do anything." Chuck sighed.


    He remembered how terrifying Adriana''s eyes looked. He suspected that she was about to do


    something.


    Perhaps...


    Chuck didn''t know what else to say. He just felt that something was going to happen.


    At that moment, Chuck heard the sound of a helicopter. He looked up and was surprised to see that


    it was Sophia. Why was she here too?


    ck Rose didn''t think that Chuck would have any sort of rtionship with Sophia. Thus, when she


    saw Sophia, she only thought that Sophia was a business partner who cared about Chuck.


    Sophia was definitely here for business.


    The helicopternded.


    Soon, Sophia stepped out of the helicopter and Chuck walked over, "Sophia, why are you here?"


    "I''m worried about you. Didn''t you have a bet with someone just now? Did you win?" Sophia


    travelled a long distance to be there all because she was worried that Chuck would lose.


    "I won. Don''t worry about me."


    "How can I not worry about you? You should know, you''re my second man..." Sophia whispered.


    She really couldn''t control herself.


    "Hmm..."


    "I''m d to hear that you won. I shall take my leave now." Sophia''s heart was at ease when she


    heard the good news. She was ready to leave for home.


    "Please stay for dinner." Chuck said.


    "No, Elise will see us." Sophia had to leave quickly. But as soon as she got onto the helicopter, Elise


    ran out and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
