Chapter 1469 You’ve Really Disappointed Me
"That's not my new partner. It's all a misunderstanding. I have something urgent to attend to today, so
we'll have to reschedule. Let's meet another day."
Winslow then asked for his friend to be shown out of his office.
His employees at the casino were interrogated about the source of the rumor spreading, and Brie was
quickly blamed.
"We were simply curious about the relationship between Ms. Benett and Mr. Knowles. We were not
sure of the details, but Ms. Ingram informed us that Ms. Benett was not the only woman you admire."
"We were manipulated by Ms. Ingram, but we can assure you that we never told anyone else. The
rumors were spread by customers who witnessed your interactions with Ms. Benett. Mr. Knowles, you
have always told us that we must put our customers first and that it is okay as long as their money
stays here, isn't that right?"

Winslow's lips thinned with displeasure, his eyes burning with rage.
It was fate that allowed him to be reunited with Elisa.
He would not have known Elisa's identity if not for their fateful meeting.
She was his niece, and yet they were both caught in a scandal of being in a romantic relationship.
As her uncle, how could he have allowed this to happen?
Winslow's mouth twisted wryly; his voice was deep and emotionless.
His dark, profound eyes were like two dark coals, smoldering with anger.
"If you continue to gossip, you will have your tongues cut off and your arms and legs broken. You'll
each receive a hundred thousand as compensation. Take it and get out of my sight now!"
The strict rules of KKCD Casino were well-known to all employees. Arguing with the boss was futile.
The more they begged for mercy, the crueler their punishments would be.
Winslow didn't even give them a chance to beg before ordering them to be dragged away.
Within ten minutes, Winslow had fired nearly all of his employees.

As for Brie, she stood frozen in fear at the repercussions that might follow her.
Winslow didn't mention her name when he gave the order, but his eyes were flared red with anger, and
she could tell she was in for a world of trouble.
She also realized how much Winslow valued Elisa.
He would ruthlessly get rid of all his employees in KKCD Casino because of Elisa!
She collapsed to her knees with a loud thud.
Her head was bowed, and she didn't say a word.
As Winslow's cold gaze fell on her...
Elisa entered the room.
Brie's hands balled into fists as soon as she saw Elisa.
She couldn't believe that her vulnerable and humiliating side would be seen by Elisa.
But Elisa didn't bother to scoff at her.
"Uncle Winslow, I think I'll come back later."

"Alright."
Winslow wanted to call her back, but he decided against it.
He didn't wish for Elisa to witness his atrocious side.
The moment she called him "Uncle Winslow," Brie's shoulders fidgeted in surprise.
So many of them had misunderstood their relationship. It turned out that they were related by blood,
not lovers.
If that was the case, why was no one in the casino aware of it?
"Brie, you and Mr. North have been my most trusted employees all these years. I don't want to create
any hard feelings between us, but you've really disappointed me."
Winslow's words were laced with resignation and frustration. Brie's mind reeled as she connected the
dots between their relationship.
She quickly lowered her gaze to the floor, her face burning with shame.
Her throat was too tight to speak.
She knew she had let Winslow down and deserved whatever punishment Winslow was about to give
her.
