Even after all the guests had left, Wallace still couldn’t get over his confusion. I really don’t understand what I’ve experienced tonight, and I don’t want to probe further. The most important thing now is to find Sharon quickly. It’s already so late, and the only place she would go to is the hospital to accompany Uncle Smith.
Upon recalling Sharon’s recent behavior, Wallace couldn’t help but frown. She has really changed recently. My quiet little wife has been going out more and more often. It’s as if she is doing many things that I don’t know, and our recent interactions seem to be shrouded in fog.
In just one night, Wallace’s name had spread throughout New York. Everyone knew that the Harris family had produced a genius who received the Sullivan Group’s recognition.
In the future, the Harris family would be a rich family.
The next morning, Sharon woke up in Tommy’s car. The driver handed her a set of clean clothes.
“Ms. Charlotte, where are we going now?” Like most people, the driver only knew that Sharon’s last name was ‘Charlotte.’ He didn’t know her full name.
“To the hospital.” Sharon had just recovered a little when she received an unexpected call at the hospital entrance.
She didn’t expect June to call her; this had never happened before.
Before Sharon could give a simple greeting, June’s voice rang out, sounding very anxious. “Where are you, trash? Let me tell you, don’t think that I’m afraid for you just because you didn’t come home last night. I wouldn’t be worried even if someone like you ran away from home.”
“What do you want?” Sharon’s tone was very calm. If it were any other time, she would’ve added a title. But after what happened yesterday, she suddenly understood that no matter how hard she tried, June wouldn’t accept her.
“You sure have become capable! Go to this address right now, or don’t ever come home again.” June hung up after saying that, and Sharon received a location on her phone.
Sharon felt that it was really strange. The Harris family’s members usually wouldn’t find me for anything, so why did she suddenly change her attitude today and even call me?
Although Sharon was reluctant, they were still living under the same roof. She didn’t want anything to happen to June, so she rushed to the address.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a group of people surrounding June with fierce expressions.
The moment June saw her daughter-in-law, her face lit up. She hurriedly pulled Sharon into the small platform behind her.
“Mom… why did you call me over?” Sharon felt a little strange, but she still followed June in.
Surprisingly, this seemingly ordinary place was actually an underground casino!
When they entered the casino, June’s expression completely changed. Her face was filled with anger as she shouted, “Trash Dixon, you only know how to use these novel methods to cheat money. If I had known earlier, I would’ve gone to the York family’s big casinos and cheated some money. However, I didn’t know what you could do!”
Hearing her words, Sharon almost fainted. “How can you participate in such gambling activities?”
June ignored her and walked to the side to whisper to the person-in-charge. When she returned, Sharon couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, how much do you owe?”
Just saying it made Sharon feel a headache coming on. She really didn’t know what to do.
She could tell that June sounded a little nervous. “This place is filled with all sorts of new and interesting games. I’ve never experienced them before, so in my excitement, I lost all my savings…”
Sharon opened her mouth, but when she came back to her senses, she couldn’t help but shout, “How can you use all your money to gamble? If the family’s capital is completely exhausted at this time, what will we use to maintain our operations?”
