The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 210

Mr. Smith sharply sensed the gunpowder in the air—clearly, both men were competing for Lucy. He quickly laughed to smooth things over, changing the subject. "Kingsley, do you plan to stay in Switzerland long-term this time?"

"Yes, long-term." Kingsley made no attempt to hide it, his tone frank and determined. "There is someone here I want to win back."

Even if it took three or five years, or even longer, he was willing.

He knew clearly that the core reason for coming to Switzerland was to be closer to Lucy.

Mr. Smith nodded understandingly. Just as he was about to speak, a friend of his walked over.

The group naturally shifted the conversation to business matters. The tension at the table finally eased, replaced by a more relaxed atmosphere.

During dinner, Lucy had stayed at Mrs. Smith's invitation, but her phone suddenly rang. After taking the call, she stood up and left for the casino.

The moment she left, Kingsley's phone rang as well.

He hurriedly apologized to Smith, then took Xavier and chased after her, following Lucy's car all the way to the casino.

Just as Lucy stepped into the lobby, the casino manager rushed up, looking anxious. "Boss, the guy we kicked out last time is back causing trouble. He brought a whole crew this time, claiming we cheated. They smashed a lot of things and refuse to let it go."

"If they smashed things, they pay the price. If they don't pay, don't think about walking out of here." A chill passed through Lucy's eyes, and she moved to head downstairs.

Kingsley, who had just walked in, suddenly grabbed her wrist. His tone was firm, brooking no argument. "It's not worth exposing your identity for scum like that. Let Xavier handle it."

The manager beside them quickly agreed. "Boss, there really is no need for you to show your face personally."

Lucy wrenched her hand free from Kingsley's grip. She gave the manager a look, then headed straight upstairs.

Watching her back, Kingsley couldn't help but ask, "Why did you decide to open a casino?"

Lucy didn't stop, nor did she give him a single glance.

The two walked to her private office. Lucy pushed the door open and immediately turned on the surveillance screens for the basement, her eyes cold.
