The man opposite Timothy asked him if their game was still up for another round after he received the money.
Seemingly delirious, Timothy vehemently replied, “Of course! Let’s do another ten more games. I’m not satisfied until I win more games than you!”
At that moment, someone else noted Tanya and her company entering the billiards hall. “Hey, we’ve got a few angels coming this way!” One of the men standing beside the billiards table could not hide his grin.
Timothy instantly turned to see Tanya and the rest, and he murmured, “Tanya? Why is she here? She walks around with this bodyguard all day long, too. Tch! The old master and the rest think that this guy is, at the very least, a King of War. Less to be known, he’s admitted that he’s only a head commander with no token. I really don’t understand why they pay him such a high salary as a bodyguard!”
The man playing billiard beside Timothy was a young master from a third-class aristocratic family. His name was Leo Turner and was great friends with Michael Wilson. He could not help but smile when he heard this and went right next to Timothy. “Young Master Drake, there’s a simple solution. He’s just a bodyguard, and we only need to think of a way to play him. Ask him for a game with me, and see how I can punish him!”
Timothy chuckled and replied, “It’d be great if you could do that!”
“Hey, isn’t this Miss Tanya? Oh, and Miss Sharon is also here? That’s quite rare!” Leo immediately moved forward to greet Tanya and the group when he saw them coming in.
Tanya did not respond to him kindly as she eyed him icily. “So you’re the one who’s been bringing my brother to fool around?” she sneered.
It was plain to see Timothy resented Tanya for being favored by James, their father. He had changed after being with the young master of the third-class aristocratic family—Leo Turner—for a long time.
“Timothy, what are you talking about? You’re my brother. How can I not butt in now that you’re fooling around with these people and have been gambling more and more on billiards? I’m only reminding you of better things. Don’t you know that trifling destroys the will?” Tanya was seething. She felt that the brother before her had changed into another person in just a month’s time.
Unable to hold back her frustration, she snapped, “Don’t think that I don’t know anything. You constantly visit those so-called entertainment places, and they’re unorthodox ones with these kinds of people. My friends saw this with their own eyes and told me this. They’ve seen you there more than once! I’ll tell Father if you continue down this road!”
“Haha! Are you threatening me?” Timothy chuckled mockingly. “Which rich person now doesn’t like to play? Also, how dare you say that it’s an unorthodox place? I went for massages at regular places. Don’t throw accusations blindly without providing concrete proof!”
