Female Novel
Chapter 263
As for the pharmacies owned by the Stalling family in Horington, they were all acquired overnight. Itwas apparent that the Lane family and the Livingston family were powerful. Because of what the twofamilies did, the Stalling family could no longer continue their business in Horington.
Victoria got some benefits from the situation. She was able to get part of the Yaeger family’s businessand antiques.
Casper was amazed. Wow, Winston and Stephen are so ruthless. I can’t believe they kicked Catherineout of the picture and took over most of her businesses.
Apparently, the Lanes’ only loss was that their second son had to divorce the daughter of the Yaegerfamily. Due to the incident, their son was so sorrowful he would go to nightclubs at midnight. One couldonly tell how sad he was.
The Lane family and the Livingston family didn’t target the Hunter family because the Hunter familyonly had two members, Darian and Jake, left.
There was a shift in power in the underground circle of Horington. However, the key figure in theincident, Casper, didn’t think it was a big issue. Instead, he went on a date with Giselle because it hadbeen days since he last saw her.
After having lunch with her, they bid goodbye reluctantly. Lately, Giselle treated Casper more intimately.He would feel excited whenever he thought he would sleep with Giselle soon.
“Oh, no. I can’t be so indecent.” Casper suppressed his lust after giving himself a handjob.
“D*mn, I’ve forgotten about Amelia because I was busy spending time with Giselle.” Casper quickly ranto the usual spot Amelia and him would meet. As expected, she was already there waiting for him.There were two boxes of food in her hand.
Casper scratched his head, feeling embarrassed. “Amelia, I’m late…”
The response he received from her was a hug.
While hugging Casper, tears streamed down her face. “Thank you, Casper! Thank you!”
She kept repeating the phrase, “Thank you, Casper.” Only after a long while did she finally let go.
“I’m sorry I’ve lost my composure.” Amelia wiped away her tears.
Hearing that, Casper shook his head. “You should live your life well. I’m sure your life will be betterwithout the mother-son duo.”
“If I didn’t meet you, Casper, I wouldn’t know what to do.”
If I didn’t meet you…
Casper’s heart skipped a beat as he stood still beside Amelia while listening to the sound of nature.
I’ve only come over from Giselle’s place. What am I thinking about now? Casper wanted to change thetopic. When he saw the food in Amelia’s hand, he knew it was for him. Thus, he took it and asked, “Isthis for me?”
Casper and Amelia sat down and enjoyed their meal in their usual spot as they normally did. Ameliawould talk to Casper about her classes and private matters. Besides that, she would discuss her past,present, and future with him.
“Upon graduation, are you going to be a gang leader just like the actor in the movie—A BetterTomorrow?” asked Amelia.
Casper was stunned. My followers must have said something to her.
“No, no. We don’t do this kind of stuff. I don’t…” Casper felt that it was pointless to explain himself.Previously, he had brought thirty association members to save her. Thus, it was difficult for him tojustify the situation.
Amelia hummed in acknowledgment and didn’t probe further. However, she couldn’t help but analyzeCasper’s identity. In her imagination, the figure of the usual caring and loving Casper overlapped withthe charming and murderous Stallion, who wore a coat and had two guns in his hands. “It’s so scary!”
Amelia was so frightened she flinched. Noticing her action, Casper asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing much. I just thought of the horror movie I watched yesterday night.”
“Okay.”
Casper finished the food Amelia brought. He then rubbed his round tummy and wailed inwardly. I hadlunch before coming here.
After arriving at the university, the two returned to their respective dorms. Shortly after, calls keptcoming in.
The first call that went through was from Elena. She reported the company’s situation, “We arecurrently dealing with the procedure of the acquisition of that human resources company. Besides that,Tycoon’s business has been good recently. It is probably due to the recipe from Ms. Alder. All ourcustomers will order that dish whenever they visit our restaurant, causing a shortage in supply. Mr.Leuthold wants me to ask you whether there are other recipes.”
Casper tilted his head and thought about the situation for a while. “Okay, I got it. I will find Ms. Aldertomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Stallion called. “Boss, something has been happening in our gamblingresort recently. The person in charge told me there is a cheater in the place, and he would win a largesum of money from the gambling resort daily.”novelbin
Casper frowned and questioned, “A gambling resort? Do we have this sort of business?”
“Initially, it was a business under Dragon and Tiger Gang. Back then, it was still in the transferringstage. Now, it is officially ours. In fact, this is the most profitable territory for the Dragon and TigerGang. On average, their daily transaction is a few hundred thousand. Sometimes, it will go up to a fewmillion!”
“So what? What’s the point of earning this kind of dirty money? Stop the business.” Casper hatedgambling. To him, gambling was no different from abusing drugs, as the two would destroy countlessfamilies.
“Um… Boss, I think you should find time to come over personally. The people under Dragon and TigerGang earn a living working in this gambling resort.”
“Hmph! I can still accept it if you guys collect debts because I agree all debts should be repaid.However, asking someone to gamble is like forcing that person to carry out a harmful activity.” Afterpondering for a moment, Casper said, “I will visit the place tonight.”
With that said, he hung up the phone and casually went back to his dorm.
Just then, Felix and the others returned. It looks like they have been out the whole day. Why do theylook defeated?
“What’s the matter? Can’t get any resources?” asked Casper as he saw the expression on their faces.
I’m curious about how the planning stage of their business is going.
“Not too bad. We got a loan together to buy a car. Now, we only need to start our business,” repliedFelix.
Casper furrowed his brows. Why did they purchase a car? It seems like they are still unwilling to rentmy car. What if their business fails? How are they going to pay their debts?
“Godfrey has been searching for some resources very hardworkingly. He has managed to find a fewcompanies,” said Colton.
“It looks like you guys have made up your mind.” Casper nodded. “If you encounter difficulties, you canalways come to me.”
“We can’t always ask for your help.” Felix suddenly thought of something and said, “Recently, VamanosManpower sent us a lawyer’s letter. They want to sue us.”
When Casper heard Felix’s words, he immediately jolted up from his bed. “What the h*ll! I haven’t evenmade a move yet. I can’t believe he dares offend us. Guys, I must do something about this! I will let himlive in misery!”
He immediately got down from his bed and headed to Wyatt’s hostel. Wyatt Lane was the youngestand the brightest son of the Lanes. He was a lecturer at Business University.
“Mr. Lane! I need to talk to you about something!” Casper looked at Wyatt’s room door. Soon, Wyattopened the door. The room was still messy, but he had finally washed his hair and shaved his beard.He looked clean and fresh. At that moment, one might find it hard to tell whether Casper or Wyatt wasthe student.
“Oh, it’s you.” Wyatt paused for a second when he saw that it was Casper. Then, he invited the latter in.
