    Hudson felt a wave of panic wash over him as soon as he heard Charlie’s words. He quickly pointed at Linda and eximed, “Mr. Wade, that’s my second aunt! She called mest night to tell me that she was nning to set a trap for a woman to swindle her out of money. She asked me toe here to intimidate the old woman when the moment arrived. That’s why I went along with her scheme…”


    In a rush, Hudson added, “Mr. Wade, I was truly manipted and exploited!”


    Linda’s heart raced as Charlie turned his gaze toward her.


    Charlie gestured toward Linda, beckoning her to approach him. “You,e here.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Linda feltpelled toply with Charlie’smand and quickly stepped forward, her voice shaking as she said, “Mr. Wade, this is all a misunderstanding! If I had known ine was your mother-inw, I wouldn’t have dared to deceive her, no matter how brave I felt!”


    Then, Linda pointed at Hannah and eximed, “This deceitful woman, Hannah, tricked me into doing this! She told me her brother-inw and sister-inw are extremely wealthy and ruthless. She wanted to teach her sister-inw a lesson and asked for my help to set up this trap. She intended to cheat your mother-inw out of her vi at Thompson First…”


    Hannah, visibly shaken, quickly interjected, “Charlie, this is all just a misunderstanding! I didn’t lie to your mother-inw; I was also misled by Linda. She always pretended to be terrible at mahjong in front of me. I thought I could bring your mother-inw here for a chance to win big. I never imagined she would lose so much money to Linda…”


    ine’s anger red as she heard Hannah’s words, and she shouted, “Hannah Wilson! You B*tch! You were trying to con me out of my money and Charlie’s vi?”


    Hannah took a quick step back, waving her hands defensively, “No, no, don’t say that! I wouldn’t dare!”


    Linda red at Hannah, her voiceced with contempt. “Are you still trying to deny it? Fine, I will show Mr. Wade our chat history!”


    With that, Linda quickly retrieved her cell phone, opened her messages, and yed a voice note for Charlie.


    Immediately, Hannah’s voice filled the air. “Sister Linda! I heard you’re back in Aurous Hill?”


    Linda’s voice followed, “Yes, I returned two days ago.”


    Hannah responded, “Sister Linda, I heard you were a croupier in Macau for many years. You must be skilled at the gambling table, right?”


    Linda replied, “I wouldn’t say that. I can barely rank among the top five in Macau, but I can confidently say there’s no one I can’t beat in Aurous Hill.”


    Hannah eximed, “Wow! That’s impressive, Sister Linda. I wonder if you’d be interested to know I have a way for you to make a fortune?”


    Linda asked, “Why don’t you tell me more?”


    Hannah continued, “I have a wealthy sister-inw who owns a vi at Thompson First, worth over one hundred million dors. She’s addicted to gambling, and I was thinking of setting a trap to cheat her out of her money. Should I invite her over to pull this off?”


    Linda responded, “Her vi is worth more than one hundred million? Is that really true?”


    Hannah affirmed, “It’s true!”<fnd546> Original content can be found at find[?]ovel</fnd546>


    Linda then stated, “Alright, but I want sixty percent of the profits once we’re done with the scam!”


    Hannah agreed, “No problem! You can have sixty percent, and I’ll take forty!”


    As the voice note ended, Hannah trembled with fear. “Charlie, I didn’t mean for this to happen. I’m still your aunt, no matter what!”


    Charlie looked at Hannah and said, “I’ll handle youter.”


    He then signaled for one of Albert’s men to take her aside.


    Turning to Linda, Charlie smiled and asked, “I heard you’re quite adept at cheating when ites to gambling?”


    Linda quickly rified, “Mr. Wade, I only know a few tricks…”


    Charlie nodded and inquired, “Can you exin how you cheated in the mahjong game today?”


    Linda began to exin, “Well, I can customize the settings on the automatic mahjong machine. I pre-set the tile arrangements on myputer and can activate them via my cell phone. When the machine shuffles the tiles, it follows my specifications.”


    She continued, “At the right moment, I can control the number of tiles and determine which tiles each yer receives. I intentionally gave your mother-inw all but one tile needed for the Heavenly Hand, leaving her with a dead end. She could never win, as I had already given the crucial tile to another yer. Moreover, both Hannah and Gianna were in on it with me. It was practically impossible for your mother-inw to win…”


    After hearing Linda’s detailed exnation, Charlie nodded thoughtfully and asked, “How many people have you harmed and cheated using this method?”


    Linda hastily replied, “Not many, not many…I don’t usually engage in such activities.”


    Charlie frowned and pressed, “So, how many gamblers did you help the casino cheat while you were a croupier in Macau? Among those you’ve deceived, how many have gone bankrupt, sold their own children, or even taken their own lives because of you?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
