Chapter 188: Jamesone
Anna took the tea and drank it so calmly that Aldric drank too.
Of course, Aldric kept looking around, at the gamblers who were playing as if they were possessed by demons.
They looked savage as they pressed the buttons and when their money ran out, they seemed to lose their souls.
With the machines provided by the casino, how could they not manage to always win.
The logic was easily understood, but it seemed that the gamblers were too crazy to understand it or rather they were too dependent on the game after trying it and feeling the ease of earning money by winning.
Seeing them constantly actually gave Aldric an uncomfortable sensation.
Only, even though it was uncomfortable, he continued to be curious.
"By the way, Lady Anna..." Samir suddenly spoke to Anna so the latter looked at him even though she was still drinking her tea.
"Jamesone bought used goods at your company. Even without a debt agreement, with how big your company is, there must be footage of him picking up those used goods... With no proof of payment from him, can't that be used to sue him in court? You can tell the court that he hasn't paid."
Aldric knitted his brows at that.
It seemed that this debt problem, even if there was no agreement, could still be taken care of through the court.
Anna placed her teacup on the table and shook her head at him.
She replied, "It will only cause me trouble. The end result is that at best the court will help me get the items back because they will view this as a case of non-payment when someone shops with me. Unless Jamesone has the money but he can hide the money during the trial so I can't get my money. I'd rather just rob him while he's holding the money. If he protests, only then will I show proof that he has bought my goods without paying."
Anna explained her reasoning rationally and Aldric, who was a bit hesitant at first, immediately agreed because it was a more reasonable way to get her rights.
Many people did not choose this way, it was not because they did not want to but because they could not and did not have the power to do so.
On the other hand, Samir laughed softly and said nothing more.
"Hahaha, Jamesone, are you sure you want to play again? You just won yesterday? I'm not sure about your luck tonight. If you lose, you can't enjoy your money for more than a day." Suddenly there was laughter loud enough outside to be heard clearly from inside the casino.
Anna raised her eyebrows at that, looking directly at the casino entrance.
That was because the voice mentioned one, Jamesone.
Samir was also staring at the door but he was being casual.
"Hmph, who wins and who loses is still uncertain. After all, I'm just going to fight those tourists." Another voice replied, sounding louder.
"Hehehe, those travelers cannot be underestimated. They also have skill and experience plus they're just wasting money, sometimes we're intimidated by the way they raise the stakes." The first voice replied.
The two people who spoke entered the sight of the people inside the casino right after that.
Both were middle-aged men with enormous bodies.
They were tall enough to give the impression of giants although still not as tall as Allen's bodyguards.
However, their weight was probably above that of the bodyguard.
Of course, they did not give the impression of being as strong as the bodyguard as their bodies seemed to be dominated by fat instead of muscle. Their bellies were also somewhat distended.
Only, they were not so fat. At least the fat on their bodies did not make their movements difficult.
Relying on their body size, defeating them was indeed something rather difficult.
One of them had a bald head. He was the first to speak.
As for the other, he had neatly combed blonde hair. He even wore a luxurious suit that made him look like a successful businessman.
His hand held a large brown cigar, smoking it with confidence.
And actually he didn't just come with his friend.
He was accompanied by a young girl with long blonde hair with a tall body on which there were sunglasses on top of her head.
To say she is very fashionable is no exaggeration, and she looks happy to accompany a middle-aged man who is clearly the same age as her father.
Whether she was really in love with him or the money he was giving her was too much, Aldric didn't know.
He was actually a bit annoyed when he saw her because he felt that the young girl was copying Jenny's hairstyle. Even the color was exactly the same.
She just didn't have the otherworldly face that Jenny had. Her beauty was just the standard of models in England.
Anna didn't sit anymore when she saw the man who was obviously Jamesone.
She picked up her bag, walking towards him.
Aldric of course immediately followed her.
If she acted alone, it would be dangerous for her.
What Anna did was block Jamesone's path.
The man and his friend and the girl accompanying him had no other choice but to stop their steps.
The three of them were very surprised when they saw Anna.
From the looks of it, perhaps they all recognized her well.
"Anna," Jamesone said spontaneously.
Unlike Samir who called her Lady Anna, he called her by name.
The incident of someone blocking the oncoming people naturally caught the attention of all the visitors to this casino.
They all stared at Anna, somewhat amazed at her for daring to block the two big men.
"Jamesone, I won't mince words, pay me what you owe me, 5 million pounds," Anna said in a loud voice.
Jamesone's mouth instantly opened in an awkward motion at her words.
Actually, he was used to being charged a debt by someone, but certainly not in front of many people, let alone this in a casino, a place with many rich people.
The strange looks people gave him made his cheeks flush.
Even the girl beside him had to stop leaning on his shoulder, rolling her eyes.
Her face was redder than Jamesone himself.
Of course, she was also embarrassed. What made her even more embarrassed was that the one collecting the debt from Jamesone was Anna, the rich woman she admired because she had always dreamed of being like her someday, being a rich woman and having a handsome young man as her lover.
Unlike Jamesone, she actually immediately noticed Aldric's presence a little behind Anna.
This made her even more amazed at her.
In her opinion, Anna could not possibly be boasting. What she said should be the truth.
A woman of her level could not possibly brag in front of so many people just for 5 Million Pounds.
"Anna, what nonsense are you saying?" Jamesone replied angrily.
He did not acknowledge this debt in private because it was not bound by agreement, let alone in front of so many people.
"If you continue to slander me, I will sue you," he added more loudly, threatening Anna.
His lips seemed to pout after he said that.
He looked down on a woman no matter how rich she was.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of Anna or he wouldn't have not paid his debt until now.
His answer was something Anna had already predicted.
She sighed.
"Jamesone, our fathers were friends, that's why I didn't want to be too hard on you, but your behavior lately has only gotten worse," she said.
She was quite calm when she said that but then her eyes turned cold.
"If I don't teach you a hard lesson, I'm afraid your father's legacy will be completely destroyed in your hands..."
After that, she looked at Aldric, signaling him to act.
At this moment, Jamesone finally looked at Aldric.
For a moment he was taken aback.
When he continued to stare at him, he showed a strange expression.
"Hahaha..." She then laughed.
"Anna, you've been single for so long but it seems that it's not because you want to, but because your taste is that of a young man. I must admit that you have good taste," he said.
"However, do you want to rely on him to take my money?"
His lips were openly sneering. Not only did he mock Anna as a middle-aged woman who liked young leaves, he also belittled Aldric.
This was because he had been in many fights, so he was rarely afraid.
Although Aldric had a strong-looking body, the fact that he was young made her have no worries about him.
"Boy, do you want to fight with me?" he asked Aldric in a loud voice while his eyes glared at him.
Aldric became a bit awkward. Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Although he thought defeating him was not difficult, he was a bit embarrassed if he had to fight with a middle-aged man who shouted at him in front of so many people.
He took a step forward, looked at Anna and said, "Lady Anna, how about we take him somewhere else?"
