Chapter 195


    Sunday, Passos Estate.


    "Ha!" With a shout, Emily pushed aside the cards in front of her, their crisp sound echoing through


    the room.


    Emily was on a winning streak today, having won several games in a row.


    "I lost again..." Ritamented as she closed her deck. "If we keep ying, I might end up leaving all


    my pocket money here this month."


    "Consider it a tribute to your aunt," Evelyn looked up and smiled at Rita. "I hear your bar is doing


    quite well. Rita’s learning the ropes of business."


    "That bar of hers is just a hobby," Victoria said with a helpless smile from the side, "She roped


    Connor into investing, and who knows when they''ll break even."


    Mrs. Weiss tapped lightly on the table, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "What the son invests, the


    mother reims."


    "Ha ha ha ha!" Mrs. Kentughed in her uniquely husky voice from across.


    "Mom, you y." Rita pouted, pulling on Victoria’s arm. "This round''s on you. I’m going to find


    Connor."


    "You lose and dump it on me," Victoria rolled her eyes.


    Rita giggled twice and looked at Emily. "Aunt Emily, is Connor in the study?"


    "Yes, go find him," Emily said calmly as she arranged her cards. "He’s been there since dinner."


    Rita pulled Victoria to her spot, resolutely stating, "Mom, it’s all on you now!"


    Victoria shook her head in resignation. "What on earth did I give birth to."


    Rita patted her bottom and ran off. She reached the second-floor study and knocked before


    entering.


    Connor put down the document he was reading and looked up. "Weren’t you ying cards? What


    are you doing here?"


    His face showed a knowing smile, "Lost money?"


    Rita huffed, "No, I remembered something important to discuss with you."


    "You and important business?" Connor looked down and continued with his documents, clearly


    uninterested.


    Rita smiled slyly, casually sitting on the sofa, turning her back to Connor, and tapping her fingers


    lightly on the armrest.


    "It’s about Cam; not sure if that counts as important?" She suddenly raised her voice.


    Connor’s ears twitched, and his pupils contracted. He closed the document in his hands, appearing


    indifferent. "Talk."


    Rita chuckled, her shoulders trembling slightly as she cleared her throat and turned around.


    "Last week, I went shopping with Cam,and we visited a boutique..." She rattled on.


    Connor nced at her sideways, gritting his teeth, "Get to the point."


    Rita waved her hand nonchntly. "The point ising."


    Connor narrowed his eyes, staring at her.


    Rita leaned back on the sofa, looking at Connor, and slowly said, "Then we went to the Weiss


    Jewelry. Cam tried on a ne she really liked but thought it was pricey and wouldn’t let me gift


    it to her."


    Connor leaned back, "Buy it,.I’ll pay."


    Ritaughed, "It’s not too expensive, just over two million."


    Connor replied, "Alright."


    Rita looked at him, raising her eyebrows. "I’ll contact the store manager now."


    "Mhm."

    Rita found the store manager’s message and immediately sent her a message.


    The store manager quickly replied, regretfully informing her that the ne was sold the next day.


    Rita looked at Connor andughed awkwardly, "Sold out, there was only one, ha...ha ha..ha,


    unlucky."


    "Why did you dragst week’s matter till now?" Connor’s gaze swept over coldly, his voice slightly


    tense.
