Chapter 533:
She inhaled deeply, eyes gleaming with a gambler’s thrill.
“And then we start the game from scratch.”
The entire casino went silent, as if the room itself had drawn a breath and held it.
Stunned looks passed between onlookers, too shocked to say a word.
This was no ordinary wager; this was recklessness taken to the extreme.
Sherman, wide-eyed, seemed paralyzed by disbelief. He shifted his gaze to Kellan, silently pleading for him to put a stop to it, hoping for Allison to come back to her senses.
But Kellan didn’t protest. He remained stone-faced, prepared to put the company’s fortune on the line.
At the far end of the room, Kylo, who had been lounging with disinterest, sat up with renewed attention, curiosity sparked by Allison’s bold challenge.
“Now that’s something,” he whispered, his eyes narrowing as he studied her.
For a brief moment, their eyes met.
There it was, the spark of shared insanity.
What was about to take place was a daredevil move, a gamble that risked everything — an all-or-nothing bet.
Amor took a moment, her caution evident as she hesitated to respond.
Nearby, Fay couldn’t contain her confusion. “Amor, this fool is just flailing in their last moments. Why are you worried about her when you’re so talented?”
Melany, too, wasn’t about to let this golden opportunity slip through her fingers — this was her chance to turn the tables.
“Exactly, Amor. I didn’t grasp the rules in the last round. Just give me another shot, and I promise I’ll remember the cards this time!”
Amor narrowed her eyes slightly, a smirk creeping onto her lips. “Heh, you’d better.”
While Melany wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, she figured that with a little direction, memorizing a few pairs of cards shouldn’t be an insurmountable task.
After all, even if Allison had a photographic memory, Amor doubted she could recall every card across all four decks flawlessly.
Mistakes would undoubtedly happen, just as they had before. Slowly, a smile spread across Amor’s face. “Alright, I’ll give you another chance!”
Allison let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. Still tense, she turned to the dealer. “Could you please reshuffle the cards?”
With a nod from Kylo, the dealer promptly obliged. “Just a moment, please.”
With the stakes soaring to dizzying heights, the total chips on the table had ballooned to billions, far too many to fit comfortably on the surface.
“Everyone step back and clear the area!” Andres instructed swiftly.noveldrama
Security personnel quickly cordoned off a larger space, creating a perimeter around the table.
A mountain of chips, valued in the billions, loomed over everyone present.
