A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1550 Visiting The Ke Group

Both Hunk and Amy were shocked by his words. Louis pretended to be serious and looked straight into Amy's eyes. “You can't wash the chopsticks or any of the dishes. Ask your grandpa to tell you a story. That's an order.“

When Hunk heard what Louis said, he was ecstatic. Quickly, he turned around and led Amy into the playroom. The two adults that were left in the kitchen continued to argue with each other about who was going to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

“Who says that men can't do chores in the kitchen? Everyone needs to eat food and help with the housework regardless of their gender.“ Louis was a little inexperienced, so he didn't think to get the rubber gloves. He was about to grab one of the dishes to wash them when the woman beside him slapped his hand away.

“They say that men should have a wide field of vision. If the kitchen is the only thing your eyes see, then you won't be able to achieve that.“ Taylor just didn't want Louis to do the chores. She stood in front of the kitchen sink and crossed her arms to act as a barricade.

“I'm a man who can do chores in the kitchen and also be a successful businessman!“ With a defeated sigh, Louis stopped trying to convince Taylor to let him wash the dishes. Instead, he stretched out his arms and easily wrapped them around her slender waist.

“Don't be so sure about that. I'm afraid that the entire family might lose their appetite if I let you cook on your own,“ Taylor said with a chuckle. Once Louis wrapped his arms around her, Taylor practically melted. She was weak to his embrace. She felt his warm breath against her neck and shivered. She didn't have the heart to try and push him away with her wet hands.

The two of them enjoyed their peaceful time in the kitchen. Their lives were not usually this quiet, so they tried to savor it. Suddenly, Taylor cleared her throat in annoyance when she thought of something. “So judging by how Miss Lin behaved today, I can tell that she is quite loyal to you. The two of you

agreed to pretend to be lovers for a long time. Are you sure neither of you developed feelings for each other?“ she asked.

Even though Taylor already knew that Janet would never develop a crush on Louis, she still couldn't help but joke about it with him.

“Oh, my God! My wife is so good in the kitchen!“ Louis yelled. Pointing at a bowl, he then added, “I mean, just look at that bowl. It's squeaky clean! You're a genius in the kitchen!“

As he tried to change the subject, Louis felt something wet on his forehead. Taylor was trying to push him away by tapping his forehead with her wet fingertip. She pretended to be annoyed and said, “I asked you a question. Miss Lin treats you well. Plus, she is a beautiful and lovely woman. Both of your families are obviously compatible. She seems to be the perfect bride for you. She could easily take up space in your heart.“

Despite her accusatory tone, Louis didn't get angry at her. Instead, he softly wrapped his hand around her finger and pulled her into another embrace. He didn't care about her wet hands. He just wanted to hold the woman he loved in his arms.

“Do you want to touch here to confirm that there is really nobody in my heart except for you?“

Slowly, he guided her dripping fingertips to his chest and made her poke it. Taylor's cheeks turned red in embarrassment when he did that. Louis opened her hands and placed them over his chest, which made both of them feel warm with happiness.

“Hey! My hands are still wet and dirty. Let me finish washing the dishes first.“ Taylor was red as a tomato. She didn't usually yell at others.

“Well, I am afraid that if I don't prove how special you are to me, then you might refuse to cook for me in the future. In order to eat your delicious meals, I have to prove it to you right now.“

Angrily, Taylor pushed the cheeky man away from her. Louis's shirt ended up getting wet because of her hands. “Go back to your room and change your clothes!“ she ordered him.

Upon receiving the order, Louis nodded obediently, but his eyes still looked at her affectionately. He grinned playfully. “Okay, my dear wife. I shall go get changed first before you continue lecturing me.“

But because his voice was loud when he spoke, Taylor slapped his chest again.

The next day, the news about the casino's demise circulated pretty quickly.

According to reliable sources, Bill's casino had been shut down because one man tipped the local police.

“Shit! How stupid you all are!“

Bill had a strong urge to smash his men's heads with a hammer. As he stood in the empty and quiet casino, he furiously kicked a chair. Then, he clenched his fist in anger.

One of the men suddenly spoke, “Boss, please forgive us. We didn't expect that one of our own would betray us and cause our downfall. When I find out who leaked the information, I will personally blow his head off.“ He paused as if realizing something. “Oh wait. I will personally drag him all the way to you so that you can have the satisfaction of blowing his head off, boss,“ he corrected himself.

This man was clever. His truthful words were not pleasant to hear, but it still managed to calm down Bill.

“Don't talk such nonsense. I don't want to beat or kill anyone. What I want is for you to act quickly next time. Don't wait until our casino is completely destroyed.“ After he said that, Bill kicked another chair.

The young man was quick, so he was able to dodge the chair. He came back and shyly lit a cigarette for Bill. “Don't worry, boss. Here, smoke a cigarette first. I am confident that we will get through this

predicament. We are not afraid.“

Even though the man stated that they were not afraid, Bill felt the opposite. Deep down, he was scared.

To be honest, he had lost all his confidence. He was trying so hard to hide it, but some of his men had probably already noticed it. He took a long drag of his cigarette and asked sharply, “I heard that the Ke Family is the one to blame for this. Is the news reliable?“

The young man nodded. He explained carefully, “One of my men saw it in person. It seems that the Ke Family's subordinates prepared for it in advance and planned all of this. They acted quickly and ruthlessly so that we would be caught off guard. It was all a trap. Shall we retaliate?“

Before the man could continue talking, Bill suddenly kicked him hard.

“Have you forgotten your place? If you are so capable, then why don't you go find them right now and fight back?“ Bill questioned his subordinate in a harsh tone, only because he was looking for ways to release the rest of his pent-up anger.

Surprisingly, the man who had just been scolded opened his mouth and asked, “Shall I do that?“

Amused, Bill raised his eyebrows. “What's the point of raising idiots like you? I don't even know anymore,“ he muttered with a scoff.

All of a sudden, the young man hooked his arms on Bill's leg and whined, “I may not be the most useful here, but I have always been loyal to you and no one else. Boss, please don't dismiss me.“ The man practically had tears in his eyes as he begged. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

For the second time, Bill kicked him away again, but not with as much force as the first one. Having already vented his anger, Bill became clear-minded and realized that smart men never cared about

instant losses. He knew too well that the Ke Family were almost like gods in the city. He couldn't afford to offend such a powerful family, so the best strategy was to just avoid them.

“You!“ Bill suddenly yelled out and pointed at the man.

Hesitantly, the man stood up and gave a trembling smile.

“Tell me what that man of yours said now. If he was a witness to them destroying our casino, then perhaps he has some evidence. We might be able to call the police.“

After hearing Bill's order, the young man opened his mouth and told him everything he knew. Once they were finished, the ground was almost covered with cigarette butts. After a short moment of silence, Bill looked at the young man and ordered, “Go and tell the head of the Ke Family that I would like to arrange a meeting with him. Tell him it's about business.“

The young man nodded in understanding and ran out, leaving Bill alone in the casino to continue smoking.

'The Ke Family has already destroyed two of my casinos. I have suffered because I chose not to take any actions against them. Admittedly, I am scared of them. I am even afraid of simply meeting them in person. But I can't let them keep hurting my businesses. I have to retaliate, even though it is a little too late to recover what I lost. I can't let them think that I'm just a pushover, ' Bill thought to himself while smoking.

Soon after he made up his mind, he received a report from his subordinates saying that the Ke Family had agreed to the meeting. On the day of the meeting, Bill arranged for his men to dress up to look intimidating. This group of hooligans formed a sharp contrast with the well-dressed and elegant-looking employees of the Ke Group. They were polar opposites when standing next to each other.

“Your boss invited us here. Take us upstairs now!“ the leader of the men ordered. To his surprise, his demands were immediately denied.
