Chapter 2601


    Kendrick smiled and said, “I lose. I make no excuses. Can’t you afford to lose? In the past, you


    consistently won. Try losing asionally. There are always winners and losers in gmbling; if you


    cannot afford to lose, stop gmbling.”


    Keh was speechless.


    Kiera walked aside and sat down to count the money. After counting clearly, she handed half of the


    money to Ss and said with a smile, “Ss, this is your money.”


    Ss took half of the money, but soon he returned half of it. He said, “Sister Caron, I only paid $100,


    and I don’t dare share it with you. I only need this much, and it’s enough for me. I’ve been havingte-


    night snacks for the past six months.”


    Kiera said, “It’s given to you; just take it and save it yourself. Don’t let your stepmother know.”


    When Ss was very young, his parents divorced, and he was given to his father. His father was a


    taciturn man. After the divorce, he became even more taciturn and didn’t care much about Ss. He left


    Ss to be taken care of by his grandparents.


    Later, he remarried an older leftover daughter from his first marriage. Ss was about to go to school


    when he was taken back by his father. However, his stepmother was powerful, and Ss had a difficult


    life and was often beaten severely by her stepmother.


    He wanted to resist, but he was a child after all and couldn’t resist. Instead, he was beaten even more


    severely.


    The father was busy working to make money and traveling frequently, so he paid little attention to Ss.


    He did not know that Ss was severely beaten by his step-wife.


    Ss’s aunt felt sorry for her nephew and filed awsuit on his behalf. However, her father often went


    on business trips. When he was not at home, her stepmother would be even more aggressive.


    His aunt gritted her teeth and paid for Ss to enroll in a martial arts ss. So that his stepmother


    wouldn’t bully him, she wanted Ss to stay active and pick up some boxing and kicking skills.


    This studysted for six years. Now Ss’s stepmother did not dare to beat him, so she treated Ss


    badly in terms of money. Ss’s pocket money was not as much as that of his half-brother. After


    attending sses, he often went to pick up some cartons and bottles. If he collects more, sell them for


    money and earn pocket money.


    His father gave him $100 in pocket money when he got home from a business trip, and he kept it for


    midnight snacks.

    At his age, when he was growing, he ate a lot and got hungry easily.


    It is said that a man born at a young age is poor.


    He must have a midnight snack every night; otherwise, he would be too hungry to sleep.


    “Sister Caron, I really took it!”


    Kiera smiled and said, “It’s given to you; just take it and save it. If you need the money for your studies


    in the future, you don’t have to ask your stepmother to get it.”


    Ss said, “Now that I need money, I ask for it directly from my dad. When she finds out, she doesn’t


    dare do anything to me when she gets angry. At most, she will quarrel with my dad.”


    Ss studied at the Caron family Martial Arts Gym for six years and was able to resist his stepmother


    well enough. Without the Caron family’s Martial Arts Gym’s emphasis on martial ethics, even if he


    became stronger, he would not be able to beat his stepmother violently with his skills. Anyway, now his


    stepmother would not dare attack him again.


    Because the coach took a group of fellow students to his home and warned his stepmother.


    “Stay with it for a few more years, and when you be an adult, you can move out of your home


    when you are able.”


    Julian was most impressed by this student, Ss. Haha, he just said he wanted to call him brother-in-


    law.


    After listening to the conversation between the two people, Julian probably knew Ss’s situation and


    promised: “Ss, you study hard and practice hard. When you be an adult, graduate, and can’t


    find a job, you cane to me at any time, and I will help you arrange work.”


    “Thank you, Mr. Bucham. Mr. Bucham, you are my idol.” Ss smiled and thanked him. He took the


    thousands of dors he had won and happily joined the group of fellow apprentices to show off.


    “This kid has a future.” Julian said something to Kiera.


    Kiera asked him, “How much money did you bet in total just now? Please give the money back to you.”


    “No, I made a bet and lost. If I lose, I lose. If you return the money to me, will you also return the bet


    they made? Otherwise, it’s not fair.”
