Chapter 966 I Set Up Your Son
Queenie stared at her legs, unable to stand, and screamed in frustration, âWhat do I need a brother like that for? Heâs a complete failure. Only you see him as some kind of treasure.

âIn your mind, Iâm just a cash machine. Your son is the one you care about.â
She knew deep down that Amelie favored her brother.
If it were her in trouble, Amelie wouldnât be bending over backward like this.
Amelie froze for a moment. She did love her son more, but in moments like this, her daughter was the lifesaver.
Her son wouldnât even bother spending 30 million dollars to save her.
Diana was her only way out.
âQueenie, how can you think that about me?â Amelieâs voice. cracked. âI care about you. Havenât you felt that over the years?â
The man standing nearby chimed in, âQuit the waterworks. Whenâs the money coming? Youâve got 30 minutes. No money? Youâre out of this villa, and your daughterâs going straight to the casino to work it off.

âYour daughterâs way more valuable than you. I did my homework. Sheâs a bigâtime celebrity and a champion designer. If we lake her, her lifeâs over.â
If she couldnât do it, he would give her a little push.
He was all about intimidation. Scaring people was his specialty. He looked terrifying, but he didnât hurt anyone.
His bulky frame made him perfect for this line of work.
Queenie, hearing his threats, was furious. âMom, where are you?â
âIâm at home,â Amelie sobbed. âThey came here for the money. Queenie, you have to help me and your brother. I swear this is the last time. I wonât bother you again, okay?â
The fat man cut in with a snarl, âTell your daughter. If she doesnât bring the money, weâll come for her tonight. She is not getting out until the debt is paid.
âYouâve got half an hour. Decide.â
Amelie was shaking, her fear obvious.
The man mocked her, âScared? What good does that do? If youâd kept your son in line, you wouldnât be in this mess.
âNo money? No gambling. Itâs that simple.â
His words stung.

Amelie started crying, overwhelmed.
She knew Queenie cared about her reputation more than anything. Queenie would bring the money.
Queenie clenched her fists, tears streaming down her face.

She didnât understand why anyone thought they could walk all over her.
She had once been the cherished young lady. But now, even casino thugs dared to threaten her.
She took a deep breath, looked out the window, and said, âMom, Iâll have Mario bring the money. Sell the villa after this. Iâll buy you a small apartment. Youâre on your own now,â
Amelie knew Queenie was having it hard too. If something happened to her company, Queenie might not be able to feed herself.
Amelie quickly agreed, âAlright. Iâll sell the villa. I promise Iâll talk to your brother and make sure he never gambles again.â
Queenie sneered, âThis is the last time. From now on, heâs not my brother.â
She hung up.
Amelie froze, realizing she hadnât told Queenie about Paulaâs schemes.

But with the thugs staring her down, she couldnât do it.
As she tried to calm down, her phone rang again. It was Jean.
A bad feeling washed over her.
She answered, âHello?â

Jeanâs voice was full of mockery. âAmelie, your sonâs about to lose his life in a casino on Christmas. Remember when I said youâd pay for making me lose my mom? Well, now youâre going to lose your son. Even if your daughter coughs up the 30 million dollars, do you think your goodâforânothing son will turn over a new leaf?â
Amelieâs hand shook as rage boiled over. âJean, you set him up?â
Jean screamed back, âOf course I did. You ruined my dad, and you tricked my mom into abandoning me. Did you think Iâd let
you
off the hook? Youâll pay for everything youâve done.â
Amelie snapped, âYou bitch! How dare you mess with me and my son?â
That was 30 million dollars. That money couldâve been her retirement fund.
Now it was gone. Not only that, but her relationship with Queenie was in tatters.

She knew she would never get the money back.

The thug nearby interrupted, âHey, whenâs the money coming? Our patience is wearing thin. Tell your daughter to hurry up, or weâll go find her ourselves.â
Amelic, startled by his outburst, quickly hung up and stammered, âItâs coming soon. My daughterâs bringing it now. But I want to go with you to pick up my son.â
âFine,â the man said, âonce we get the money, you can take him home.â
That was the deal.
Amelie let out a shaky breath of relief.

Meanwhile, Diana stared at her cards and felt helpless.
Sheâd lost again. The whole evening, she hadnât won a single hand.
âIâm done,â she said, slumping back. âWhy am I the only one who keeps losing?â
No matter the lifetime, luck at cards just wasnât in for her.
Nolan and Nick exchanged helpless looks. Theyâd even tried letting her win, but she just couldnât do it.

Luna chuckled nervously, âDiana, just accept it. Weâve been trying to help you win, but you havenât gotten a single hand. Even Barry sal in your spot once and couldnât win either.â.

Diana groaned, propping her chin on her hands. âSo, what does that say about my luck?â
