Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 333

"It turns out that Mr. Brian Long likes doing the unexpected." There was a hushed silence in the room.

People turned to see who had spoken. They saw a tall woman, with curly hair and fur on her shoulders. While huge sunglasses nearly covered her entire face, her eyes were still visible. The woman's charm was irresistible. A good-looking man followed closely behind her. He stood out because of his golden hair and eyes whose only description was demonic.

"Who… who are you?" the assistant manager sputtered. "How dare… dare you hit me here in Grand… Grand Night Casino!" He was furious as two guards helped him stand up. He looked at the beautiful woman and fumed,"Nobody dares to make trouble at the Grand Night Casino."

As the assistant manager pointed his finger at the lady, her blonde escort reacted swiftly. He grabbed the assistant manager's hand and broke one of his fingers effortlessly. The assistant manager howled in pain.

The blonde man ignored the screaming and turned to his charming companion. "Adele, we should go now. The gambling party will start soon. We better head upstairs," he advised.

His eyes were fixed on Adele as if to say they had more important things to do than rescue some waitress.

Adele heard him and shrugged her elegant shoulders, not at all worried about the delay. She eyed the assistant manager, who was still screaming in pain, and said lazily,"Alec, you're a horrible man." She fluttered her eyelashes and added,"You should be nice to him." Then she laughed.

Her manner of speech and behavior sent chills down the spine of the guards and most people around them. Some began speculating on her identity in hushed tones. Out of the blue, the assistant manager, still grimacing in pain, signaled and a guard waved as he rushed towards the woman. Before he could come any closer, another scream broke out. Alec kicked the guard on the stomach so hard that he landed several feet away.

Adele didn't bother to look at what happened. She walked straight to Molly, removed her sunglasses and revealed a perfect face. Her eyes were not at all charming but sharp and intimidating. It was hard for Molly to stare back at her.

"Let her go," Adele snapped the order, sounding like a queen who did not want her authority challenged. Her tone frightened the guards, who quickly released Molly.

Even as the pain lingered in her cheek, Molly kept her composure. She wasn't going to show the effect of everything they did to her and what she had to endure.

She saw Adele eyeing her carefully, then curiously glancing at the nameplate on her uniform. Stunned, Adele asked,"Are you Molly?"

The question made Molly frown slightly. Then she blinked rapidly in confusion. 'Why does this woman seem to know me?' she wondered.

"Adele, the game has already started. We should be heading upstairs already." It was Alec whispering in Adele's ears.

But she ignored him and eyed Molly thoughtfully. Adele felt a fleeting sense of pity for the waitress as she recalled her own miserable life many years ago. Shaking the memories off, she told Molly,"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Remember that, girl."

After giving Molly a long last stare, Adele turned around and headed towards the elevator designated for the Super VIP Room. Once inside, she took out her mobile phone and quickly sent a text message.

Brian Long had granted her the privilege to gamble in the casino's Super VIP Room today. She had been waiting for this opportunity for five years. Adele vowed not to waste the opportunity to make trouble for Melvin. Once she successfully sent the text, Adele put her sunglasses back on and smiled wickedly. In her mind, she still thought of Molly.

But before the elevator door fully closed, Adele saw the assistant manager order two security men to drag Molly and throw her out of the premises. She knew an entertaining show was about to happen. She couldn't see what happened to Molly next as the elevator door shut completely. But she could imagine that those security men's fate was already doomed.

Two minutes earlier…

Tony turned off the car's engine after finding a slot at the underground parking lot of the Grand Night Casino. A large-scale gambling party was happening tonight, and he came along with Brian to attend the event. Brian was the affair's host and sponsor.

Barely stepping out of the car, Brian's mobile phone rang. He took the call while walking towards the elevator. A text message caught his attention. After reading this a few moments later, his expression changed, and he gripped the device more firmly. His steps quickened, and he couldn't wait for the elevator car to arrive, so he took the staircase to the hall as quickly as possible.

Tony was just about to alight from the car when he saw Brian running. Although he had no idea what happened, he quickly followed his master, just in case he needed to take care of something. Just as the elevator door of the car bearing Adele's party closed, the two men entered the hall.

With hawk eyes, Brian scoured the casino's vast interior. He noticed a crowd gathering around the Baccarat table and headed there. Before he was able to push his way through the spectators, someone cried out in pain after being slapped forcefully.

Her face had become numb, and Molly could taste blood in her mouth. But she refused to cry. She even forced a smile on her lips. As Molly was being publicly humiliated, the woman hated herself and considered herself a bane that attracted every kind of problem.
