The True Heiress's Return

Lago was absolutely thrilled. He had been gambling for ages, and the most he'd ever won was a few hundred or maybe thousand. But today was his best day ever.

People are greedy. When they win, they want to win more. If they lose, they want to gamble to win back their losses. Desires are truly endless.

But with Gideon by his side today, winning felt like a walk in the park. Still, Lago was worried about getting caught by the casino like Gideon did, so he decided it was best to take his winnings and head out. Once they were outside, Lago added Gideon as a friend on his phone. After thinking for a moment, he sent him a thousandContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

bucks.

Gideon looked at the transfer notification on his phone, totally overwhelmed, and said, "Mr. Smith, you really don't have to give me money; this is your winnings, I don't...

Lago put a hand on his shoulder, beaming with joy and admiration. "Gideon, this money is yours. Without you, I wouldn't have won so much. You're my lucky star!"

He looked at Gideon like he was a precious treasure, and his happiness just kept growing. Gideon was still in shock, holding onto his old phone, which was cracked and barely working.

Lago noticed and said, "Gideon, your phone screen is broken; you should really get it fixed."

Gideon trembled and said, "I've been delivering packages and food. It's tiring, but the pay isn't terrible. But... one customer wrote the wrong address and insisted I redeliver for free. When I said no, he complained about me, and my boss fired me. He continued, "I can make some money delivering food, but working in the heat and cold, I'm putting in sixteen-hour days for very

Till get you a new phone, Gideon. You've got will regret it!" Talent. With some time, you'll turn your life around, and those who look down on you

Gideon said, "Mr. Smith.. thank you. I thought today was going to be the worst; I lost money and even thought that if the security guards caught me, maybe it'd be better to just take a beating and leave some money for my family..."

Lo felt satisfied. "Gideon, this is just the start. How about we team up? You help me win at the casino, and I'll help with

r family's medical costs. What do you think?"

Gideon stared at him, shocked. 'Mr. Smith, you want to partner with me? I'm not worthy."

Lago cut him off, "Gideon, don't sell yourself short; you've got real skills, and you're a good person. I want to help you!"

Lago said, "You've been noticed by the casino security, so it wouldn't be smart to show your face again. We can set a time; you wear a disguise while I place the bets."

"We don't need to win big, but if we win a few times, we can cover your family's expenses ago had already thought this throughTM*

Gideon finally got himself together, tears of gratitude streaming down his face as he stammered, "Mr. Smith, thank you this chance; you're truly a good person, my great benefactor..."

Lago looked at Gideon's innocent excitement and found it charming how easy it was to make him happy. "Alright, it's settled: just message me later."

"Mr. Smith, got it Seeing Gideon bow deeply, Lago felt a rush of pride.

After saying goodbye, Lago, till buzzing from his winnings, hopped into a luxury taxi to head home.

Gideon watched him leave with envy until the car disappeared, then turned back to the casino.

As he walked through the fancy entrance of the casino, he raised his hand slightly, and a bunch of high-ranking executives came over, bowing and offering him sanitizing towels and gloves. A few attendants rushed to clean him up. "Mr. Brooks, you've had a long day." Gideon wiped his hands elegantly and suddenly thought of something. He turned to the older man next to him. "Kendrick, how did I do just now?"

Kendrick, with his kind eyes, replied warmly, "Your acting is as good as your mother's in her prime."

Just moments ago, he had been innocent and naive in front of Lago, but now Gideon's eyes sparkled with a playful arrogance. "My mom is a film star; I still have a long way to go compared to her."

Kendrick smiled gently. "But why did you decide to take matters into your own hands?"

Gideon's expression turned serious, "The situation with Shakira can't be left to just anyone."

Kendrick said, "I see. Shakira's situation is super important and can't be left to those who aren't trustworthy."

Gideon relaxed a bit, tossing the towel onto the luxurious white marble floor and putting on some specially designed gloves. "So, I have to handle her affairs myself."

With that, he turned and walked into the exclusive area for the casino owner, and no one dared to follow.

When Lago got home, he was bursting with excitement and immediately shared his experience with Jessie.

Jessie looked shocked. "Is there really such an amazing person?"

Lago confidently replied, "The world is huge and full of surprises"

Seeing that his wife was still skeptical, he showed her his account balance. "If Shakira can be so lucky, why can't others have extraordinary abilities?"

Jessie stared at the balance, her heart racing. Since their bankruptcy, she hadn't seen that much money in ages. "Honey, 1 only brought five outfits; now that you've won money, could you buy me a few more!" ago waved her off. "We've just started winning, let's talk about it after I hit more."

Lago quickly messaged Gideon, asking for his exact birth date, saying he wanted to consult someone about his fortune and when good luck might come. Gideon replied right away, overflowing with gratitude. Seeing Gideon's admiration, as if Lago was the only light in his dark life, Lago's ego soared.

He sent Gideon's birth date to Jessie, urgently telling her, "Have your dad analyze his destiny. We might need him for a comeback!"

Jessie quickly went to take care of his request

After dinner, Shakira regularly checked Walter's pulse and got a new herbal bath ready for him.

Walter glanced at the tub full of herbs and instinctively frowned. Didn't Matthew already say...
