Chapter 59 A Trick

Colin came straight to the point, but Faye just looked at him without saying a word.

She dared not answer him back, because she had no idea of what Colin knew about her secrets.

The sound of opening the door broke the awkward silence. Robert slid into the driver's seat.

"Mr. Farrell, are we going to Mr. Carter?" Colin looked away from Faye, and merely said, "Mmm."

Robert felt a certain tension in the air, though he didn't know what had happened in the car.

He glanced in the rearview mirror, and then rolled up the board between the front and rear seats,

partitioning the inside into two sections.

As soon as the board was put up, Faye asked Colin, "What do you know?"

Colin fiddled with the cigarette case between his slender fingers, and then drew out a cigarette with his

lips. "It's far more than you expected," he answered meaningfully.

"Colin," she called his name, stressing each syllable.

Colin tilted his head to Faye, and gave her a wee smile. "What?"

"What are you gonna do to me?" asked Faye.

Colin blew out a stream of smoke, and said, "I won't do anything to you. And not only that, I think I can

help you with something."

As Colin had always been a complex man, Faye never ventured to be honest to him, though she had ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

had sex with him.

She fixed her eyes on his face, trying to find a clue from his expression, but unsurprisingly she failed,

because Colin was quite a master at dissembling.

Colin leaned back in the seat, idly smoking his cigarette under Faye's gaze.

Faye cast a wry glance at him. "I don't need your help."

Hearing that, Colin raised an eyebrow, and said after flipping the cigarette butt out of the window, "Don't

be so sure. Come to me any time you need help."

Faye was speechless.

About 20 minutes later, they arrived at Abbot's clubhouse.

After getting off the car, Colin and Faye crossed the hall, and went straight to the top floor by elevator.

The room on the top floor was full of people. Some were playing cards, and some were drinking

together.

Except Abbot, they all rose from their seats to greet Colin when he walked in.

After giving a smile in return, Colin strode over to Abbot who was playing cards absorbedly and gave

him a kick on the shin.

Unsteady on his feet, Abbot fell backward, clutching at the table to steady himself in time. "Holy crap!

Colin, are you trying to kill me?"

Colin took off his coat, and threw it over the arm. Then after taking a glance at Abbot's cards, he

sniffed, "You're losing."

Faye teased, "Do you think you're in a position to question your boss?"

"Didn't you two get ma..." Abbot said in surprise.

Before he could finish the word "married", Colin threw his coat over Abbot's head.

Abbot shook his head under the coat, and took it off his head. He fixed his hair while cursing zxc,

causing gales of laughter.

After the two of them had an amusing quarrel, someone offered his seat to Colin .

Faye was not into playing cards, so found a corner for herself with a chair, and looked at her cellphone.

Noticing that, Abbot gave Colin a kick under the table.

Colin lifted his eyelids, and looked at him.

"What happened?" Abbot whispered.

Colin tossed a card onto the table, and replied, "What do you mean?"

Abbot followed suit and hissed, "Don't play the fool. Didn't you two get married? Why do you behave so

estranged?"

Colin answered teasingly, "You know nothing. This is the spice of life."

Abbot said with disbelief, "Spice of life? I'm afraid it's because Faye doesn't want to announce your

relationship."

After a round, it was Colin's turn to play.

Seeing Colin drop two bombs, Abbot shouted, "Bastard! You've cut off my retreat!"

"I heard Jadon has come back," Colin said lightly.

"Huh?" Abbot was bewildered by his sudden change of the subject.

Colin continued, "I'll let you win this game, if you have Jadon come to treat Faye's aunt."

There was a twitch at the corner of Abbot's mouth. "Can you be any more flattering to her?"

Colin beamed at him. "Do you want to see it?"

Abbot blew a raspberry. "No, it hurts my eyes."

They played three sets in total, and Colin had let Abbot win in each set.

"You did a good job. Well, I agree to your request. I'll have Jadon come to treat Faye's aunt," Abbot

said delightedly.

Colin smiled faintly. "You call Jadon now."

With a good mood, Abbot gave Jadon a call instantly.

Being acquainted with Colin, Jadon agreed readily.

"See? It's easy," Abbot said complacently.

Colin gave an elegant smile. "Well, let's play one more game with bigger bets."

Abbot thought Colin was going to thank him for that and said joyfully, "OK!"

If given a second chance, Abbot would never have said that even if someone had a knife to his throat.

After the game, Abbot not only had lost all his winnings, but lost another 100 thousand dollars to Colin .

Abbot looked sidelong at Colin. "You bastard. Are you a human being?"

"Don't take the kinship into consideration at casinos. My good son."

"Who is your son?" Abbot got pissed off and was just going to answer back when he caught a glimpse

of Faye.

He walked over to her with a smile on his face and sat by her side.

Faye raised her head from the cellphone subconsciously and gave Abbot a smile. "Happy birthday."

"Huh?" Abbot was confused and then figured it out instantly.

Faye picked up a bottle of beer on the table and clinked Abbot's bottle. "Sorry, I didn't know it's your

birthday today. I'll get you a gift when we meet next time."

Abbot was just planning to get even with Colin , so pretended to be confused, "Whose birthday? Mine?"

Faye nodded.

"Who told you that? Colin?" Abbot asked.

Faye turned her head and look across at Colin .

Seeing her confused stare, Abbot was pleased and put on an act of sudden awareness. He deliberately

slapped his thigh, and clinked bottles with Faye. "Ah, I forgot it. Today is my birthday indeed."
