The Runaway Groom

The Runaway Groom Chapter 223

If Robin had not told her, Irene would never have thought that there was a casino hidden in this cargo port.

“Come on, I can take you there,” Robin said, leading her to a small boat.

There were two men on it, and the boat was meant to ferry passengers to the casino.

Both men had seen Robin before, so they let her on.

However, they stopped Irene since they never saw her. ” You’re not allowed here.”

“She’s with me,” Robin said. “She’s a friend of mine, and she knows about the casino. Your boss told me to never breathe a word about it and I never did, and I’m here to look for him. Is he in?”

lan had his arms around Robin when they last came, and both men knew that she was Ian’s girlfriend.

They had to let Irene as well since Robin vouched for her,

but…

“Your phones, please.”

Robin knew the rules, and quickly passed hers to them.

Irene, however, needed hers to contact Isaac-once she surrendered it, she could not reach him even if she finds

Tommy.

“What?”

“Sorry, but it’s the rules. They don’t want anyone making calls from the ship.” Robin explained when she saw her hesitance.

Irene therefore had to give in. “Okay.”

She turned off her phone and handed it over, and the two men finally started the ship after they did!

They were sailing for over half an hour when Irene saw a cargo ship nearby, stacked full of shipping containers.

“We’ve arrived,” Robin said just then.

Irene frowned. “That’s a lot of containers…”

She thought a couple would be enough, but there must be over twenty on that ship!

The crew, under the impression that Irene was a hick, started to brag proudly, “She could take over 300 people, or 400 if needed. It’s a slow day, though, so it’s just over 100 for today.”

Irene was left gaping.

Hundreds of people frequented that place? It certainly deserved to be called a casino, just as one must admit that it takes balls to operate something of that scale!

And Ian certainly had a pair! Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

As they closed in on the cargo ship, the crew brought out a plank that would be used as a bridge.

“Let’s go,” Robin told Irene then.

She nodded, and they carefully walked over the plank.

Once on the ship, however, Irene said, “I’ll wait for you here. You should go look for your boyfriend.”

“You’re not coming with me?” Robin asked.

“I think having a stranger would make things awkward,” Irene explained. “Just ask him what’s going on, and we can leave. I’ll wait here for you.”

Robin thought so too, since this was between her and Ian.

Nodding, she said, “Okay. Thanks for coming here with me.”

Irene smiled, but felt a little guilty inside for tricking Robin.

She was quite naive and easily believed Irene, but Irene was exploiting her trust.

Also, Irene was not going with Robin because she was worried Ian would recognize her, and realized that she came on board as a spy!

Taking a deep breath, Robin headed toward the containers, while Irene went to work as well.

The ship was enormous, but most of the people were

inside the containers.

She peeked inside one of the containers to find a dozen men around the table, and a woman dressed like a bunny standing in the middle. She was the dealer and was

waiting as the men placed their bets before rolling the roulette.

There were many other babes like her, dealing out cards to many others at different tables, with stacks of chips placed before them.

Irene quietly left, since she did not find any clues she needed just then… until she heard crying!
