If you were Charles what will you do after knowing where Kelvin ran away to with the money you both won.
Confront him and ask for my share.
Will you just let go,or you will go after him to get justice ?
It is good if he will give me my share of the money but if he doesn't give me my part then I will see him in court if I have enough evidence, if not then I might just let him go.
or how will you treat this issue.
I will treat the case delicately.
Is this real or just a story?
From the way the story was told, it should be a fiction.
The story stated by @OP maybe fiction but things like that happens in real life. Often times the people who will swindle us are those who we trusted the most, close friends and relatives.
