Upon hearing her words, Thomas had a sudden realization and a smile formed on his face. He complimented, "Ms. Benett, you're amazing!"

However, Elisa didn't attribute their success solely to herself. She also recognized the great collaboration of Gareth, who was seated beside her, "And thanks to Mr. Wickam's cooperation as well."

At that moment, Thomas found himself at a loss for words because Elisa was right. Mr. Wickam's cooperation had indeed caught him off guard. However, Elisa's dedication and hard work made everything possible.

From his vantage point, he could see that they were in sync. If they hadn't gotten divorced, their relationship would have likely evolved to a more intimate stage by now.

But despite his wish to see them get back together, he never dared to play the matchmaker!

Nicole had just arrived at the casino when she received an update from her subordinate, "Ms. Tabor, the party organized by KKCD has been postponed to two days later, and it's now a masquerade ball. Many people have left because of the delay, including Gareth and Elisa."

Feeling frustrated that she had come for nothing, Nicole's expression turned grim. She immediately went to the place where Aaron was being held.


Aaron saw her and grinned mischievously, "Did you miss me, Baby?"

Nicole glared at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Aaron smirked, "I think you did."

A storm brewed on Nicole's face as she sneered at the smug Aaron before her. "Do you honestly think your disgusting smile will make me go easy on you?"

"I never expected you'd go easy on me," Aaron replied with a chuckle.

"When you're chasing after someone, it's to be expected that obstacles will arise, and I understand that you still hold a grudge. But keep in mind that fortunes can be fickle." Despite his chuckle, delivered in a hoarse tone, Aaron's arrogance showed no sign of waning in Nicole's eyes.

"Don't for a second think that your smile can fool me," Nicole retorted with a hard edge to her voice.

"You're already trapped here by me, and there's no way you're getting out anytime soon."

Aaron's smirk remained on his face, and he drew out his words, sounding incredibly wicked and dangerous as he said, "Care for a little bet?"

"On what?" Nicole asked, her brows furrowed with intense confusion.

She had kept him locked up for several days, but he had never once begged for her mercy.
