His Domineering Lover
Chapter 660

What Rocco said did surprise Renee, as she thought it was only a common visit from Rocco.

Now Rocco proposed to meet her family, and everything changed.

Her apartment was not bad, but that was all she had, no money or background. By the way, she got a job selling houses recently.

'Rocco asks nothing about my background or family until now. Could it be that he mistakes me from a wealthy family because of my attendance at the charity party?'

"Well, Rocco, do you know anything about my background?" Renee wasn't naive anymore after those hardships.

"Is your background important?" Rocco knew what she meant. No outsiders were more clear about her background than Rocco did.

And he didn't give a damn about this background, as there was no future between them in his plan.

"Well, I know your visit to my family is a kindness. However, something may change after this meeting. If there is a future between us, our families will be entwined sooner or later."

"I... My family is far away as good as yours. And I would like to make it clear at first." Renee chose to be frank to avoid any further embarrassment in the future.

"Don't worry. I don't care about your background at all. All I care about is you, and you only. It is late, and take a rest first. I will come over tomorrow morning." Rocco coaxed Renee in a gentle voice as he did to a child. Renee finally got her anxiety off her chest.

"Good night!"

Renee was bidding goodbye to Rocco when her phone rang, "Excuse me."

It was a call from Leo. It was a special day today. Renee didn't take Rocco home because their relationship was unstable yet.

It was inappropriate for her to take Rocco home, and she couldn't leave Rocco alone as he came for her.

Therefore, Renee decided to date Rocco outside. And she asked Leo to accompany Carmen at this Eve of the Spring Festival due to her own absence.

Their life changed greatly this year. It was no exaggeration that they fell from heaven to hell. And Carmen hurt most.

When still in the Xia family, they would have a jolly Spring Festival, but now the family fell apart. Carmen pretended to be alright after coming out of prison, but Renee understood the grievance at Carmen's heart.

Carmen deserved some company on a day like this. Leo promised to take care of Carmen before Renee left for Rocco.

Renne supposed that it was a call to urge her to go home.

Renee picked up the phone, "I'll be right back."

On the other end of the phone, Leo cried, "Renee, help."

"What's wrong? Don't cry. Tell me what happened." Renee knew from Leo's tone that something bad happened.

Leo had been away a lot recently. And he kept his deeds secret from both Carmen and Renee, though Renee asked several times. "Renee, I'm in the Cosmos Casino. You... please come help."

"Why are you in that place?" Renee frowned. She thought Leo had learned a lesson from his last setback in gambling.

Now the phone was hanged up by someone, and Renee was exasperated at the bad deeds of Leo and cursed him at heart.

"What happened?" Rocco was still there. He knew something was wrong, as Renee looked bad.

She didn't want to leak this mess to Rocco or get him involved and changed her expression immediately.

It was not easy for her to meet a good man like Rocco. Leo's mess might scare Rocco away, and Renee couldn't take the risk.

She believed she could handle this.

"Nothing. A call from my little brother to check if everything was OK, as he was worried about me this late hour." Renee lied. "Good to know that. But you must tell me if there is a problem."

"Okay. It's getting late, and see you!" Renee was anxious to get rid of Rocco.

"Then see you. You go first." Rocco left without hesitation.

Seeing that Rocco left, Renee hailed a taxi to the casino. However, she didn't know that Rocco came back after his taxi turned around. "Follow the taxi ahead," Rocco ordered the driver coldly. Sophisticated as Rocco, how could Renee deceive him?

Renee in the car felt restless, as the terrible hearsay about the casino flashed past her mind.

It was said that those gamblers could do anything to get their money back.

The casino would lend usury to those gamblers, who were anxious to try their luck again, but most of them came out with nothing at hand.

And the casino would use all kinds of measures to get its money back. Now, Leo was detained in the casino.

Arriving at Cosmos Casino, Renee briefed her intention, and someone led her into another room.

"Renee, help!" At the sight of Renee, Leo dashed forward to hold her leg tightly. Leo got beaten, as there were bruises on his face.

"Why are you here? Don't you learn?" Renee was furious.

"I... I just want to make quick money. We can lead a good life if I make it. However, I am not a lucky dog today." There were mucus and tears on Leo's face. Renee wished to disown this bad brother. However, she had to help him now, as he was her little brother.

"How much?"

Leo raised his hand. Looking at his five fingers, Renee asked, "500,000?" The 500,000 would be a small sum, only if they were still Miss Xia and Mr. Xia. However, they were no longer Miss Xia and Mr. Xia, and a working family needed several years to save this sum.

Luckily, Carmen had this sum, but Leo murmured, "No, not 500,000."

"How much?" Renee would like to slap him in the face now.

"Miss Xia, let me tell you. Your little brother owes us five million in total." One man in the room said on Leo's behalf. Five million! It was an enormous figure for them.
