Chapter 3280 Plotting Against Her

Herman clenched his fists tightly, still unable to make up his mind. He was no fool and understood that those moneylenders were loan sharks. If he were unable to pay them back, it could very well be the end of him.

Just as Herman was still hesitating, a middle-aged man, who was also at the table waiting to open the cards, couldn't help but start to provoke him again.

"Hey, loser. Can you quickly make up your mind? You shouldn't even have come to the casino if you don't even have the capital to play. You should go to the arcade instead!"

Megan took a few glances at that man, hoping that he would continue inciting Herman.

However, before anyone else commented any further, Herman took out his passport and mobile phone and passed them to Megan.

The peaceful atmosphere a while ago turned aggressive as the two men glared at each other furiously. It seemed like a fight was going to break out anytime.

Herman shouted through gritted teeth, "Borrow one hundred thousand for me. Let's see if this sissy would still dare to mock me after I win over all his chips later!"

Perfect. Megan took over the man's mobile phone and passport and was unable to suppress her smile. Using those two items as collateral, there was no telling when Herman would be able to return to the country.

"Sure, you continue playing first. I'll go over there to borrow the money for you," Megan agreed readily before heading towards the side entrance.

Holding on to Herman's phone, she walked into the dark with her heart as cold as stone.

Megan remembered that the man had answered a call at the restaurant earlier on. The caller wanted intimate photos of her in order to tarnish her reputation in the industry.

Since she had Herman's phone currently, the woman could easily check who that person was.

After unlocking the phone, Megan checked the incoming call records. The last person who called turned out to be Mia.

Mia...

Megan's hand trembled slightly as she let out a short, mirthless laugh. The light emitted by the phone's screen was unable to penetrate the darkness in her eyes while she exuded an overwhelmingly cold aura. She suddenly understood the reason for Herman's indifference when she told him that Mia was also in Lostaria. Those two people had it all planned out.

Megan squeezed the phone tightly in her hands and took a deep breath. If it wasn't for the fact that she needed to use the phone as collateral to loan money, she would have smashed it on the ground that very instant.

After calming herself down, Megan proceeded to get the loan for Herman. She had used only his identification and did not divulge any of her personal details.

Herman was still engrossed in the game back at the gambling table. The chips which he was using were temporary chips. When Megan saw him back at the table, she remembered instantly how he and Mia worked together to plot against her.

Resisting the urge to smash the chips onto his head, Megan handed them over to him and said, "I've gotten the chips for you."

She did not intend to fall out with the man before he lost that additional one hundred thousand.

Herman was having so much fun at the game that when he saw the chips Megan brought him, he got even more excited. After thanking the woman half-halfheartedly, he emptied the chips onto the table. "Let's carry on!"

Megan saw how thrilled and happy Herman was and knew that he was about to meet his doom soon. The darkest hours of his life would arrive as soon as he depleted that money.

Half an hour later, Herman seemed to have gotten a good hand after a few mediocre rounds. In fact, he was so confident that he had decided to bet all his chips.

When the other gamblers saw that, they stared at each other in disbelief. Megan was rather shocked by his actions as well. As Herman was feeling extremely smug, he failed to notice that the dealer had exchanged a meaningful look with one of the other gamblers at the table.

However, Megan had managed to catch sight of that.

Obviously, just like her, the casino did not want Herman to win and the one who had of the game was the dealer.
