Monroe paused for a moment. Did she say that on purpose?

Did she know that 80% of the casinos in New York were under his control?

Monroe didn’t ask. He directly rejected Mary. “No. You are too young; you can’t just go to that kind of place.”

Mary sighed in her heart. She knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

“Then tell me where you want to go. It’s up to you.”

She suddenly lost interest, as though she couldn’t muster up any energy.

Monroe said, “Let’s have a soak in the hot springs. I’ve already made the arrangements.”

Mary looked at Monroe. Then why did he ask her? Wasn’t it unnecessary?!

After breakfast, they set off.

In addition to Monroe, there was Herman and Hugh!

So, was this a family trip?

Herman and Hugh sat in the same car, while Mary and Monroe sat in another car. Both of them had chauffeurs who drove specifically for them. There was also a large group of people following behind them.

They stopped for lunch.

As they were in the middle of nowhere, they had to set up a tent, a table, a stool, and a table full of food.

Mary saw a table full of food, then looked at the leather sofas they could rest on, then looked at the carpets on the floor, the red wine and champagne held by the maids.

There were soft beds in the tents in the four rooms and two halls, which meant that they could take a lunch break.

Four people traveling, at least ten servants, and twenty bodyguards.

Mary thought silently in her heart, as expected, the happiness of the rich was beyond her imagination as a poor loser.

“How much longer?” Hugh seemed to be a little impatient with the two-hour journey.

Herman also looked at Monroe. “I’m very busy.”

If Monroe had not forcefully dragged him out of this trip, he would be in the operating theater right now.

Monroe sat on the sofa with a glass of champagne in his hand. He crossed his legs and looked at Mary eating seriously. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

“We’re brothers. Dad and Diana have been gone for a few days, but we haven’t taken Mary out to have fun together. Didn’t I just squeeze in some time and arrange for the two of you to go together?”

In other words, he was also very busy, but for the sake of his sister, Mary, he had squeezed out some time, so they had to go together.

Monroe drank a mouthful of champagne and felt that it was very sweet.

Hugh snorted coldly. “Then why didn’t I see you invite Jayce over too?”

Mary, who listened obediently to their conversation, immediately shouted in her heart, don’t! Don’t! She hadn’t thought about how to face Jayce yet. Moreover, when she thought of him, she still felt a little sad. She felt that she hadn’t completely recovered from the sudden feeling of heartbreak.

So, when she found out that Jayce wasn’t at the hot spring this time, Mary actually heaved a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, she felt a little sad.

She didn’t know if Jayce knew that she was there, so he didn’t come.

Monroe replied, “He’s the boss. He has a lot of things to do every day. I can’t get him to come!”

Hugh looked at Mary, whose expression and movements had become a little unnatural. “I think you’ve been completely fooled by this little drama queen! Is she now the treasure in your heart?”

Hugh’s tone was a little teasing, but at the same time, he was also testing Mary.

Mary frowned and crushed the passion fruit in the cup in front of her.

Monroe looked at Hugh with some anger in his eyes. “Watch your words, Hugh. Mary is a very good sister. She’s actually very obedient, and she has outstanding abilities that I admire. You can get to know her with your heart. I promise you will be as happy to have her as I am!”

Hugh rolled his eyes and said, “Thank you, traitor! You change your mind so fast!”
