Chapter 957


    Their unkind words put both Nita and Lily in a difficult position. They were hesitant and seemed to


    be in a dilemma.


    Everyone else at the table was jittery and impatient. Among them, a man in his forties sitting


    opposite Lily red rudely at her and said, "Manager Wei, let me be clear. We are willing to let you


    y with us for Ms. An''s sake. Your quitting now would be a p in the face for us, do you


    understand?"


    "I didn''t..." Lily wanted to exin.


    A smile appeared on Nita''s face. She tried to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Li, this is a


    misunderstanding. We..."


    However, Mr. Li ignored Nita and interrupted, "Misunderstanding? Miss An, we''re all adults. Do you


    think we will believe this crap?"

    As he finished speaking, the rest of the people at the table nodded; their faces were unhappy.


    Lily and Nita both felt embarrassed by the situation.


    However, Fade came up to the two women and asked softly, "Sister Lily, Nita, what happened?"


    Seeing Fade, Lily and Nita heaved a sigh of relief. They felt an inexplicable sense of relief.


    Lily quickly exined to Fade in hushed tones, "These are the big shots in the cosmetics industry of


    Jade City. Earlier, Miss An introduced us to them. We were just going to exchange some words over


    some drinks. I wasn''t expecting them to begin gambling as soon as we reached the high seas. They


    even dragged both of us into their game."


    "I couldn''t refuse, so I yed along for a few rounds. In the end, I lost everything so I quit. They


    aren''t very happy about it, though."


    Fade nodded as he took in the whole story. He then asked quietly, "Sister Lily, how much did you


    lose?"


    Lily pointed at the few chips left in front of her that were on the table and said, "I''ve cashed in five


    hundred thousand in chips, but I lost four hundred thousand in three rounds. That''s too fast."


    While speaking, a touch of pain shed across her face.


    Fade understood her. Lily was the human resource manager of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc. In


    addition, she was filling in for the chairman, and her annual sry was over five million yuan. In


    addition to the shares of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc she owned, her worth was already more


    than 100 million yuan.


    The loss of several hundred thousand yuan was nothingpared to her worth. However, Lily


    had watched over thepany for some time now, so she understood how difficult it was to make


    money. It was understandable that she wanted to cut her losses short after a few rounds.


    Fade and Lily continued whispering to each other, making the gamblers at the table feel awkward


    and impatient.


    Mr. Li said impolitely, "Manager Wei, so many of us are waiting for you. What are you trying to pull


    here?"


    Lily''s expression soured. Fade picked up the remaining 100,000 yuan worth of chips and said,


    "Please continue and excuse us. We will be taking our leave."


    After that, Fade prepared to leave with Lily.


    However, everyone at the table was upset. One of them said coldly, "So this is Fei Enterprises


    Holdings Inc! You think you can do whatever you want! You think that we are all insignificant!"


    The rest of the gamblers murmured unpleasantly in agreement.


    "Manager Wei, if you don''t give me face, I don''t think it''s necessary for us to cooperate anymore."


    "I can close one eye if you don''t want to give Pedro the time of day, but to refuse Mr. Li of Mizzy


    Cosmetics? This is outrageous!"


    "Mizzy Cosmetics!" Hearing the name, Fade felt a little familiar. He looked at Mr. Li and said, "Mr. Li,


    are you from the Li family?"


    Thereupon, Mr. Li''s face darkened. He looked at Fade coldly and said, "It seems that you have


    recognized me. My name is Eden, and Derick is my son."


    Fade''s expression stiffened when he heard this. He looked at Lily and said, "Sister Lily, he''s from


    the Li family. The coboration they spoke of was impossible from the very beginning."


    Lily finally understood now. After all, the conflict between Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc and Mizzy


    Cosmetic only took ce recently. Fade had not only injured Derick, but also Harrox, Derick''s


    cousin. He was definitely an enemy of the Li family.


    Therefore, from the very beginning, Eden had no intention of coborating with them. He was


    merely using the cooperation as a pretext to get Lily into the game and win her money on the


    gambling table.


    When Lily understood the situation, she was furious. She turned to Fade and said, "Let''s go. We are


    done here."


    Since she knew that the coboration was never possible, to begin with, there was no need for her


    to curry favor with them.


    However, Eden snorted and said, "How dare you simply blow us off like this and leave! In that case,


    Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is now themon enemy of the entire makeup industry in Jade City."


    "That''s right. I support what Mr. Li said," a man chimed in.


    "We won''t show mercy when dealing with enemies," another boss added angrily.


    At the sound of the mor and threats, Lily''s face darkened. She red at Eden and the others


    furiously and shouted, "What more do you want?"


    Eden smiled and said, "We are trying to be reasonable. We''re just asking you to abide by the rules.


    You''ll have to y at least ten rounds. Otherwise, you should not have sat down with us in the first


    ce."


    "You..." Lily was furious. This was daylight robbery, so how could she possibly agree?


    Just as Lily was about to refuse, Fade pulled on Lily''s arm and said to Eden and the others in a


    clear voice, "Only ten rounds? I''ll y with you."


    "Fade, they..." Lily tugged at Fade''s clothes and persuaded.


    Fade gave Lily a reassuring look, then gently pinched her delicate hand and said, "Don''t worry, I


    won''t lose."


    Eden sneered, "Mr. Chen, look how confident you are!" The bosses at the table looked at each


    other andughed.


    They were all old acquaintances, and even older friends on the gambling table, so they had a good


    grasp of how each other behaved at the gambling table. Moreover, they were very well coordinated


    with each other, and were wless when it came to the execution of tricks.


    Fade didn''t seem to pay them any heed. He still smiled and said confidently, "Of course I''m


    confident. However, ten rounds are not enough for me. Where''s the enjoyment in that?"


    Hearing this, Eden grinned from ear to ear and said, "If ten rounds isn''t enough to satisfy you, Mr.


    Chen, how many rounds do you want to y?"
