Chapter 323


    Sarah had been working at the Red Jack Club for almost a decade but she had neverid eyes on the


    big boss. But ording to Payton’s chatter, Sarah started to suspect maybe the founder of Red Jack


    Club wasn’t the current boss, and the current boss might be just a youngster.


    A whippersnapper in charge of the Red Jack Club? There must be some big guns backing him up.


    “Payton, sorry girl, I’ve never met him either. But next time hees around, I can give you a heads


    up. But don’t jump the gun, after all, you can’t be sure if the boss is the guy you’re thinking of Sarah


    said.


    “Right, thanks, Sarah” Payton said.


    “Alright, go get some rest. Sarah looked at Payton’s bloodshot eyes and the beer bottles scattered


    around. They were clearly up all night boozing. She patted Payton’s shoulder, “You’re working tonight,


    rest up and don’t overthink.”


    Payton left the Red Jack Club, trudging home like a lost soul.


    Seeing her in this state, her mom frowned, “Where were youst night? You didn’t pick up your phone


    or reply to messages. Are you now staying out all night?!”


    Listening to her mom’s scolding, Payton felt a headacheing. She changed her shoes and headed


    to her room. Seeing that Payton didn’t respond, her mom got even more upset and followed her, “Listen


    to me for once. Quit that job, and focus on your studies. Your dad told me the other day, you skipped


    ss again! You’re a senior, don’t you want to graduate?”


    “Mom, I’m tired, I need some rest. Payton said as she prepared to close the door.


    But this time her mom stood her ground, she smelled alcohol on Payton, “Have you been drinking? I


    knew I shouldn’t let you work in a ce like that! Look at yourself”


    Payton took a deep breath, grasping the doorknob tightly, “Mom, what’s wrong with working at the Red


    Jack Club? I’m making money by my own effort.”


    “I know, ever since Arthur left, you’ve been ming us. We may not be a high-ss family, but we


    value education. Your dad and grandad are educators. I hope you can get a decent job.” Her mother


    said.


    “Mom, Arthur didn’tmit a crime, and he didn’t kill anyone. It’s been six years since the investigation


    cleared him. Those peoplemitted suicide. It has nothing to do with Arthur!” Payton mmed the


    door, leaving her mom outside.


    She leaned against the door. Outside, her mom gently knocked a few times.

    Payton closed her eyes, gripping tightly. Her eyshes were trembling slightly.


    Her mom sighed helplessly when Payton didn’t open the door, then she turned and left. On the other


    side of the door, Payton opened her eyes, feeling truly exhausted. Shey on the bed, Arthur’s face


    surfacing in her mind,


    That was thest time she saw Arthur.


    He came out of jail penniless, stayed for a month. He told her, he was leaving.


    Where to? Would hee back? How long would he be gone? What would he do?


    Arthur didn’t answer any of these questions, he just told Payton to wait for him for five years. If he didn’t


    It was the sixth year now. This was Payton’s sixth year of waiting for him.
