Chapter 542:
She looked up, eyes wide with terror, and met Andresâ cold glare. âMr. Yatesâ¦â
âShut your mouth, you brainless fool,â he growled, his expression dark with anger. âKyloâs orders arenât to be questioned. Leave now while you still have the chance. If you show your face in Muisvedo again, Iâll make sure itâs the last thing you ever do.â
Andresâ words were a stark reminder that there was still a narrow path for Fay to escape punishment, but only if she acted now.
The sharp pain twisting in her stomach jolted her back to reality, and the weight of Kyloâs dark, unreadable stare sank in. The full magnitude of her mistake hit her, making her realize that she had thrown her lot in with the wrong side.
Yet she was also keenly aware that fleeing Muisvedo meant certain death. Outside these walls, her enemies would be waiting to tear her apart.
Panic flared, and desperation took over. Fay scrambled across the floor, clutching at the last thread of hope, and reached Allisonâs feet. âScarlet Snake, I beg you! Iâve been a fool, I was wrong! Please, just this once, show me mercy!â
Her voice cracked with desperation as she tried to grab Allisonâs leg, pleading for clemency.
Allisonâs brow furrowed with distaste as she stepped back, causing Fay to miss her hold and sprawl forward, knocking a pile of chips in her path. She landed in a pitiful heap, surrounded by scattered chips, looking utterly defeated and ragged.
âSirâ¦â Fayâs voice trembled as she turned to Kylo for help, but he remained unmoved.
âTake her out,â he ordered, his voice devoid of sympathy.
âYes, sir,â replied two men in black, stepping forward without hesitation. They lifted Fay and escorted her out of the room. The door slammed shut behind them with a resounding bang, sealing the tension within the casino.
A heavy silence descended on the room as spectators retreated, fearful of being drawn into the scene. The air was thick with unease, as if the heart of the casino had transformed into an ancient gladiatorial arena, cloaked in dread.
Andres knelt before Kylo. âSir, I take full responsibility for failing to detect the cheating. I genuinely donât know how it was missed.â His voice was low, weighted with remorse as he continued, âAccording to the rules of the casino, any cheat must be expelled from Muisvedo, and all ties severed permanently.â He remained in place, bracing for whatever judgment Kylo would render.
âExpelled from Muisvedo?â Allisonâs soft laugh pierced the silence. Perched on the edge of the gambling table, her heels tapping lightly against the polished floor.
She looked at Andres with a glint in her eye. âFine, but remember, the rules also call for Amorâs hands to be taken first.â
âIn your dreams!â Amorâs composure shattered, and she lashed out, eyes blazing with fury. âYou conniving bitch! This was your setup!â
âKylo, Iâm not a coward. I take full responsibility for my mistake this time,â Amor said, her voice steely as she clenched her fists. She drew a deep breath, trying to steady herself. âFor the past seven or eight years, Iâve worked for you, bringing in profits that easily exceed nine figures.â
