Chapter 2104

Marshall! hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where?" Vermont then told him the address.

Marshall asked again, "Is Keegan going?"

Vermont responded in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Let's not talk about that ungrateful scum. He's been so entitled ever since he lost his memory. "And Stella, whenever I argued with Felicity, she'd ask her to break up with me.

"Our relationship has gotten so much worse because of her. Because of her, miss bandit and I had another argument today. It's so annoying!"

Marshall glanced at the time and said, "Send me your location. I'll take a cab over in a bit." When he arrived at the bar, Vermont and Carter were already drinking in the private room. Other than them, there were several other young people from wealthy families, both male and female, playing games together.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Vermont chatted with the girls next to him while rolling the dice. He was humorous, embodying the image of a charming playboy. The girls around him could not stop laughing. Meanwhile, Carter sat quietly on the other side. Compared to the lively atmosphere surrounding Vermont, his side felt somewhat dull.

Carter was different from those playful rich kids. In the past, only Zane would occasionally show up at such gatherings. However, he was wild and had caused serious injuries to others twice after getting drunk, so nobody wanted to hang out with him.

Carter used to never attend such gatherings too. But after marrying Lena, he seemed to have become more outgoing and started joining these gatherings from time to time. Although he would not speak much, he would politely respond when greeted by others.

It was inevitable that they would have some business dealings with rich kids like them in the business world. Being familiar with each other would make things easier.

Although the old Carter was courteous, he was very straightforward, inflexible, and not good at reading the room. But now, he had become better.

Marshall pushed open the door, and Carter noticed him immediately. He waved at him and patted Vermont, who was sitting next to him.

Vermont lifted his head, put out his cigarette, and said, "Marshall, sit over here."

He turned to the several beautiful ladies around him and added, "Pay up, pay up. Ten minutes. How about it? Didn't I tell you so?"

"Mr. Snyder, this is unbelievable. You talked to him before this, didn't you?" Vermont responded with a serious face, "Absolutely not. Ask Marshall if you don't believe me. Let's see if I called him or not." With that, he glanced at Marshall, who looked at Carter with a puzzled expression.

Carter chuckled and said in a low voice, "Vermont bet that he had a feeling you'd arrive in ten minutes. If you didn't, he'd give each of them ten thousand, but if you did, each of them would have to pay him ten thousand.

Marshall said, "According to Article 303 of the Criminal Law, those who organize gambling activities or engage in gambling as a profession without permit in Hustuabourg shall be sentenced to imprisonment for less than three years and fined."

Vermont ignored him, took out his phone, and showed the ladies his Venmo QR code. "Here. Who's going to pay first?"

Marshall added, "To be specific, gambling is illegal if it involves three or more people, with the total amount of bets reaching over fifty thousand."

He paused and counted the number of people in the room. "There are seven people, which exceeded the limit."

Vermont glared at him. Just when everyone thought he was going to give up, he said, "Well, then transfer me seven thousand dollars each. Keep the three thousand dollars and spend it on the bill for tonight." Then, he turned to look at Marshall and said with a smile, "Mr. Lawyer, now this is legal, right?" Everyone else was caught off guard. Marshall remained silent and did not deny it.

So, everyone accepted their fate. They each transferred seven thousand dollars in Hustuabourg currency to Vermont and thought to themselves, 'I know I shouldn't have made this bet. The owner of Green Hill Media would never do something that is not profitable.'
