Chapter 70: I'm planning to stay there Before Elsie could answer that question, Aiden's phone rang. It did not take a soothsayer for Elsie to guess who was on the other line. It was April calling. He had saved her contact as 'Silly Girl'. There was no good reason Elsie could think of that would make April call except to ruin their evening. She glanced back at Aiden, who was about to pick up his phone, but she beat him to it. She calmly answered and placed it on her ear. "Brother, I need you," the familiar voice cried in between sobs. But Elsie knew better than to fall for April's cheap tricks. "What happened?" "Elsie, how dare you answer my brother's calls," April raged in anger on the other line. If she were present with Elsie, she would have clawed out her eyes. However, Elsie kept calm. She needed Aiden here and wouldn't allow him to leave, especially when it had something to do with his two-faced sister. Hence, she replied softly, "Why, yes. I am hi
Chapter 73: Torture your rich asses Elsie arrived at the biggest casino in the city, situated in the busiest and most touristic part of town, nestled between hotels and restaurants. For entertainment, the casino hosted stand-up comedy shows, concerts, and sports events on special nights, particularly those beginning with a T. However, only a few knew about the illicit activities concealed within its walls. Outside the establishment, the rules were prominently posted for all to see. Although Elsie was already familiar with them, she checked again in case there had been any changes. With Franco taking over the casino, it was expected that there would be inevitable alterations. As anticipated, there were indeed changes. The dress code had become less strict, and drinking was now permitted. However, the age limit had been increased from eighteen to twenty-one. Elsie had prepared for this by acquiring a fake ID from a woman in a truck downtown. The ID stated that she wa
Chapter 71: I miss her Sorry i got the chapters mixed ### Elsie had been invited to lunch by Mr. Johnson. She had sent a video of herself taking on several characters in ten minutes. The good news was that Aiden had accepted her decision to pursue a career in entertainment, acknowledging her talent after seeing her act. As promised, she had sent the video to other professionals in the field and wanted to share their reviews with her. He initially suggested discussing it over the phone, but Elsie insisted on a face-to-face meeting, fearing that he might sugarcoat things over the phone. When she arrived, Mr. Johnson was already waiting, sitting by the window and watching the busy street with amazement. "Mr. Johnson," Elsie called out to him as she slid into her seat. He jerked his head, a smile curling on his lips. Mr. Johnson was wearing a grey coat with a colorful feather peering out of its chest pocket. He had grown stubble since their last meeting.
Chapter 72: What kind of villain are you? "It is the first time I dreamt about her, love. I didn't even remember how she looks like without the help of photographs," Elsie said, her voice filled with curiosity as she turned to Aiden. "What do you think it might mean, Aiden?" It was the next morning, and Elsie told Aiden about the nightmare she had. She sat on the bed, while he stood by her side. She was trembling as she narrated the nightmare to him, which made him worried. Crossing the room, he filled a glass with water and made Elsie drink while he held the glass. When she was done, he placed the half-filled glass on the table. Running a hand through his hair, Aiden pondered for a moment before responding, "I have no idea, Elsie." "Could it be that my memories are coming back? You remember when I spoke in Italian back at the mall? I had asked Aunt Dahlia, and she said I was half Italian. That explains it." "Calm down, Elsie," Aiden said soothingly, rubbin

Chapter 74: My wife is so strict "I won," she giggled, smiling widely. Elcilia triumphantly scooped up the pot, adding to her stack of chips. This led to collective grumbles and sighs from the men at the table. The man who had thought he could take advantage of Elcilia was the most furious. He glared up at the dealer, shards of anger plunging into his brain. In the next second, he climbed onto the table and jumped on the dealer, punching and kicking him as he only saw red at the moment. The man had borrowed money to play this third round, and he lost to that girl. He found it unbelievable that a small girl could beat him. "You are in cahoots with her, right? Tell me the truth," he yelled, punching the dealer with all the energy he could muster. This scene caught the attention of the bouncers kept for security. They rushed over with their batons and hidden guns. "Uh oh," Elcilia twisted her lips. This was a signal for her to leave before getting into any tr
Chapter 75: It sharpens his techniques As expected, the party was grand and opulent in the Dale Mansion. People from every walk of life were invited, from business associates to Trixson's classmates. The ballroom was adorned with exquisite decorations, and the air buzzed with excitement and anticipation Elsie had willingly arrived late because she had no interest in attending. However,Trixson had mistreated her a lot in the past that she could not let go of such an opportunity to ruin her. And today was the beginning of Trixson's downfall and next on the list was aunt Dahlia. When she did, everything seemed to come to a standstill, with every guest's eyes on her. Maintaining her posture, she walked passed the crowd. Rather than feeling uncomfortable under their gazes, Elsie was undeterred. A waiter passed by with a tray of drinks, and Elsie seized the opportunity, plucking a chilled glass of mojito from the tray. She brought it to her lips and took a casual s
Chapter 76: Bitch! "Mom, have you noticed that Elsie seemed to have changed a lot?" In Trixson's room, the walls are painted with a nice blend of purple and lilac. The room is so big it can take three king-size beds. Trixson stood within her expansive walk-in closet, surrounded by an impressive array - rows of shoes from slip-ons to high heels, a collection of designer handbags, an assortment of hats and sunglasses, and an abundance of high-end designer garments, many still bearing their tags. Jewelry was kept in drawers, and the most precious hidden away in a golden box with a fingerprint lock. Dahlia sat on the huge table in the center of the closet, casually swinging her legs as she scooped tiger nuts from a silverware next to her. She waited on Trixson, who was changing into her third outfit of the night. With the question posed, Dahlia's chewing slowed, and she furrowed her brow in both processing and thinking. She first recalled the moment when Elsie came to the
