My Billionaire Mom
Chapter 715

Chuck saw that it was Elise who had sent over a cannon. It was a gift of goodwill from the Lawrence family.

The ancient cannon was placed in the middle of the lobby, looking striking and spectacular.

The Lawrence family crest was imprinted on the cannon. It was as though this was a message sent to the people informing and remind them they should stay out of trouble.

However, Sophia was not there. Well, it was not appropriate for Sophia to make an appearance at that kind of occasion anyway. It would not be good for Chuck and Sophia if their relationship was exposed. Sophia was right to do so.

"Chuck, it looks like you have made amends with the Lawrence family," Willa said with a smile.

Yvette was also relieved. Chuck and Elise used to be enemies, but not only had they been collaborating with each other recently, but Elise was now delivering a gift to him personally. This was something that Yvette had never expected.

Chuck felt awkward. How could he explain it? Should he say that he and Sophia had a relationship that they should not have?

But if Chuck came clean, Yvette and Willa would definitely be shocked by this.

Chuck just kept silent with a smile on his face. He told himself that this was just Elise delivering a gift on behalf of the Lawrence family.

This was something no one had expected to see at the casino's grand opening. Everyone immediately started discussing who the casino owner was. They all speculated that there was some kind of relationship between the casino owner and the Lawrence family.

"Does this casino belong to the Lawrence family?"

"Who knows! But I don't think it is. The boss is someone else."

"Why do you think so?"

"The Lawrence family doesn't like foreigners very much!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Didn't you notice that the manager is a foreigner? So, I think it's someone else!"

"Oh, I see!"

Everyone was busy discussing and speculating amongst themselves.

Elise instructed her men to set the gift up nicely. When she saw Chuck, she walked up to him as the crowd stared on.

"What? Why is she walking towards that man?"

"Is this guy the owner? But this is the largest casino in this country! That's impossible!"

"Totally. I'm pretty sure the guy is just someone Elise knows, so she's just there to greet him."

"Exactly."

"Congratulations." Elise said.

Elise was dressed in a gown that hugged onto her figure at all the right places. She looked stunningly gorgeous.

Chuck thought that she looked great and it was a breath of fresh air.

Elise liked martial arts and sports which helped her tone her body and keep herself in shape. Although she was hardly built like Black Rose, she still looked pretty darn good. "Thank you. We have some finger food prepared, please help yourself." Chuck showed her a heightened level of courtesy. After all, she was Sophia's daughter.

"I'm not here for the food. There aren't any delicacies that I haven't already tasted." Elise curled her lip and replied.

She knew that it was Chuck's casino's grand opening, so she came over to see him.

"Then what are you doing here?" Chuck asked.

"For no specific reason. By the way, when are you free?" Elise smiled and asked.

"Why?"

"I've learned a new combat skill, so we should spar sometime. Let's hit it out soon! I must defeat you."

"If you want to win, I'll let you." Chuck had no interest in fighting with her, but here she was insisting that they do.

Furthermore, he would get himself into hot water if he ended up hurting Elise. Thus, it was better for him not to oblige to Elise's request.

"I don't want you to let me win! I want to defeat you in a battle. You'll then see me differently. You know, I'm actually a good person." Elise's voice softened.

Chuck was taken aback. Why would Elise want him to see her differently?

Had she gone crazy because of all the training she did?

Chuck ignored her and patted her on the shoulder, "Go get some food."

"Don't push me! Dang it!"

Elise was angry. She had come all the way here, so she definitely wanted to speak to Chuck a little longer.

"Who's the boss? Where is the boss of this casino?" Someone suddenly shouted.

All of a sudden, the room went completely silent.

Chuck looked over and saw that it was a man in his forties.

He looked arrogant!

His sudden remark had caused people to start gossiping again.

"This person likes gambling and he's rich. Ignore him." Elise took a look and said.

Yvette, Willa and Black Rose had different opinions on the matter.

"Hubby, let's go over and take a look," Yvette suggested.

"Chuck, this man is causing trouble. You may want to do something about it!" Willa said as well.

Chuck wanted to take action too. It was only his casino's first day of operations and he already had trouble like this. If he could not handle it well that day, then what would happen in the future? He needed to make a point by punishing this man.

"Let's see what's going on." Chuck said and went over with the others.

Elise got mad and said, "I've told you to ignore him, yet you still want to go there? Can't you talk to me instead? I came all the way here..."

"Where is your boss? Why are you so arrogant? Don't you know that the customer is king?"

Matthias White slammed his fist on the table. His anger-filled voice caused a disturbance at the casino, resulting in the other customers not be able to truly enjoy themselves.

"Sir, what can I do for you? I'm the manager here." Patricia went over with a smile.

"Manager? You are not qualified to talk to me. Call your boss over!" Matthias shouted into her face.

Patricia frowned. Since the customer insisted, she could only glance at Chuck.

The customer insisted on seeing the boss, and not her.

"I'm the owner. What can I do for you?"

Chuck took a step forward as he said this.,

Patricia heaved a sigh of relief.

"What? This guy is the owner? Seriously?"

"He has already said it. It's true!"

"I really can't tell at all. Looks like the younger generation is really capable. They are really outshining the older generation. He is so young, and he already owns the biggest casino. How unpredictable our future will be!"

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Chuck, who was the first person to talk to Elise a while ago, to be the owner of the casino!

"Are you the boss?" Matthias questioned.

"Yes, is something the matter?"

"Look at you. How could you be the boss? Where is your boss? Is he hiding somewhere?" Matthias sneered, "He really shouldn't get someone to speak on his behalf."

"Never judge a book by its cover. So, what's the matter?"

Chuck looked him straight in the eye, expression unchanged.

"Well, since you say you are the boss, then let's play a game. Do you dare?" Matthias sneered.

"Why wouldn't I? I own this casino." Chuck smiled slightly.

"That's what you claim. I'm someone who's into big bets. Let's start with five billion dollars. Are you game?" Matthias smiled arrogantly. It wasn't an amount that just anyone would dare bet on. Matthias was an expert in gambling, and he was out to win some money.

"Five billion only? That's too low. Let's do ten billion." Chuck suggested unhesitatingly.
