After arranging everything for the “show,” Carlos and Curtis sat at an automatic mahjong table in the


    living room.


    A few minutester, Niles entered, gasping for air. After quickly grabbing a ss of water, he asked,


    “Carlos, I’ve been working for the whole day. I am only here since you asked me toe as soon as


    possible. Dude, I’m super exhausted. What do you want?”


    Carlos, who was ying with the mahjong tiles, raised his eyes to look at Niles.


    “Did you bring enough money?”


    “What?” Niles stared nkly at Carlos.


    “General Never-victorious, he wants you to y mahjong with us,”


    Curtis said with a grin.


    “You know that Carlos seldom loses. If you don’t have enough money, call your brother and ask him to


    wire some money to your ount.”


    “Hey, watch it! Who are you calling General Never-victorious, huh? I won big against Carlos the night


    before Pepper Debbie’s wedding.”


    Debbie was stunned. ‘The night before my wedding? How did I not know about this?’ she thought,


    staring at Carlos.

    Curtis chuckled.


    “How silly! You just reminded Carlos of his very unpleasant memory. You are doomed, Niles. I do feel


    bad for you.” Niles had not only reminded Carlos of the money he had lost that night, but also


    mentioned the one thing Carlos hated to hear the most—Debbie’s marriage to Ivan.


    Niles panicked. He knew that he had messed up. He said immediately, “I don’t feel Like ying


    mahjong today. I’m only here to watch the show.


    Carlos, you called me here to watch the show, right?”


    Without sparing him even a single nce, Carlos simply spat, “No mahjong, no show.”

    ‘Damn! I shouldn’t havee here. No, I shouldn’t have answered his call in the first ce. He’s gonna


    torture me now!’ Niles cursed inwardly. Left with no choice, he sat opposite Carlos. Staring at the empty


    chair, he asked curiously, “We need a fourth yer. Who else did you call?”


    Carlos finally raised his eyes to look at Niles.


    “You’ll know when he’s here.”


    Within a few minutes, someone knocked at the door and then two bodyguards pushed a woman into


    the room.


    Debbie recognized her.


    Glenda, Stephanie’s mother.


    Debbie asked Carlos in a low voice, “Why bring her here?”


    Her hot breath on his ear made his senses tingle. He bent towards her and said in a whisper, “Mother


    and daughter should share their weal and woe.


    Debbie frowned. ‘Share their weal and woe? What does he mean? Does he have something nned


    for Glenda as well?’


    Glenda’s face was in shock when she saw the people in the room. But before she could say anything,


    one of the bodyguards gagged her, and the other tied her up. She could neither speak nor move.


    Horror was seen inly in her face. She made strange noises, but no one could make out what she


    was saying. No one cared.
