Chapter 1209
Catelyn was wrapped in a heavy cloak. She and Cedrick shuttled on the deck. When they got on the cruise, they
knew that there were other things inside.
Slot machines, roulette, craps, Texas hold'em... This was a gambling cruise.
"Fidelysia prohibits gambling on the surface, but in private, there is such a luxurious gambling cruise." Catelyn
surveyed the beautiful hull of the cruise.
Cedrick raised his delicate eyebrow. "This cruise is under the name of one of his relatives. The staff is usually very
careful about privacy and confidentiality. Many powerful people in Fidelysia are regular customers here. Mr. Hensley
had the intention of cracking down on this cruise, but there were a lot of interests involved, so he gave up."

"With me here, I won’t let anything happen to you," Cedrick smiled slightly, carried Catelyn, and followed the butler
to the best private room on the third floor.
The private room was vintage in style.
A middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa in the middle, holding a cigar in his hand, seeming to be in his early
fifties. Behind him stood several bodyguards with their hands
behind their backs.
When he saw Cedrick and Catelyn arrive, he paused.
He invited Brayion and Catelyn, and he did not expect to see Catelyn and Cedrick here.
Zachary smiled and got up. "Catelyn, Cedrick, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you."
Cedrick placed Catelyn on the couch and gathered her cloak before turning to Zachary.
"Mr. Hensley is busy with his business, and Ms. Carrey is not feeling well lately, so Cat and I are the only ones who
could come. I hope you will not take offense, Mr. Moran."
Zachary glanced at Catelyn and chuckled, "It is said that Mr. President loves Ms. Carrey very much. I didn't expect
you to be as affectionate to Ms. Carrey's daughter as Mr. President is to Ms. Carrey."
"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Moran." Cedrick shook Zachary's hand calmly and looked lovingly at Catelyn. "Cat, greet Mr.
Moran."
"Mr. Moran," Catelyn called him sweetly.
Zachary didn't show any emotion on his face, but his hands hanging at his sides were slowly clenched...
Brayion's daughter was living a brilliant life, while Zachary's son was still detained in the interrogation room.
Zachary used many means, but his son was denied bail. As he thought that his son had been tricked by this couple,
Zachary's eyes flashed with hostility.

Zachary was playing with the cigar in his hand. "Cedrick, are you interested in playing a game with me?"
"It's my honor that you are willing to teach me," Cedrick smiled, his tone light as if he were taking a walk.
Zachary gestured, and a colorful pile of chips was placed next to him and Cedrick.
The two sat down at opposite ends of the table.
Cedrick glanced at the chips, and his thin lips parted. "Since you are kind enough to invite me, how about we bet a
little more?"
"That's what I'd like to do," Zachary smiled. "I wonder what you would like to bet."
"To put it simply, I bet all my assets, and you bet all your power. One game will determine the winner. Do you dare
to bet?"
Cedrick remained in his careless posture, but when the words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Including Catelyn, they were all amazed.
It was only the first game, and he had bet all his chips.
Zachary's face also changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice. "Cedrick, you're really smart. If you lose, you'll
still have the president behind you, but if I lose, I'll have nothing."
