The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Subconsciously, Alicia moved towards Frederick and hid behind him. She looked at him with a worried look.

He turned around slowly with one of his hands in his pocket. He glanced at the table top and without much emotion and said, "This is the first tI'm hearing such a rule in the casino." "That's because I suspect that you are cheating! I'm the host today!" This meant that his words were final.

They looked at each other fiercely. The man responded, "Accept the inspection and gamble withfor another round! Or else, don't even think of leaving here!" Frederick gave a subtle chuckle.

He said, "If you were to invitefor a round of gamble, perhaps I would be more willing to do so. However, now..." Indirectly, it meant that the man's attitude was really rude and that he was really furious! The both of them conversed in French, and at that moment, it felt like blades clashing against one another. The man had bronze, tanned skin. Based on his dressing style, he looked like he was from the Middle-East. Beside him were two ladies, one being a westerner while the other being an Asian. They were both sexy and gorgeous. The bodyguards were obviously armed, and this made Alicia anxious.

This kind of occasion was indeed not child's play! What was the point of going against them head to head in this situation! Of course, they should opt for resolving it with money! For a moment, Alicia regretted it. She regretted asking for a house. Who knew that he was actually really good at gambling, and has now made others jealous! "It's either you leave her here, or accept the inspection and gamble with me!" The man was very aggressive and pointed at Alicia directly.

With her eyes widened, she showed a frightened expression. Her mind went blank and kept wondering, "What did he mean?" Unconsciously, she tugged on the corner of Frederick's tuxedo and looked at him.

He sighed and spoke up indifferently.

"There's not much to lose if I gamble! I have won enough and I'm not lacking in it either! Be fair if you want to gamble! Check thoroughly and the bet should be the sas well! If you don't have the skills, don' blit on others! How despicable!" The man heard him and felt somewhat pleased. He raised his hand.

He said, "Okay! Our bet is her! If I win, you will give her to me! If I lose, I will give you whatever amount of money you want! You can even take away all of these! Two wins for three rounds, and everyone here will be our witness! Start the inspection and you will bet for a person and I will do the same! Seeing that the man pointed at her again, the color on Alicia's face becpale, and she was very confused.

Since when did she even beca bet? She grabbed Frederick's arm and shook her head. He grabbed her hand and smiled at her to comfort her. Then, he looked at the opposite side. He quickly identified the woman in the picture that Trevor showed him. He pointed at the Asian woman wearing a skin-tight white dress.

"If I win, I want her!" He said.

It was a huge shock to Alicia and she almost fainted. She looked over and a woman who had long wavy hair, beautiful facial features and a hot figure fell into her sight. She could hear a buzzing sound in her mind.

He actually agreed? He actually used her as a bet to win and get another woman? Unbelievable! Alicia took stto regain her senses. It was not until a warm palm circled her waist and the deep, familiar voice sounded by her earthat she did.

"Trust me..." Coming back to her senses, she saw that Frederick had already taken off his coat and put it on her arm. The gambling table was cleared and there were people checking around it. There were also people who took turns to check both of them. The situation outside was rather crowded and packed with people who cto see them.

Alicia felt like it was like the end of the world and her mind couldn't function like it used to before.

It was not until a loud cheer sounded that she realized that the first round was over.

"Mr. Clements won the second round! It is one point versus one for now!" Then canother shock. Alicia realized that two rounds had gone past just like that. She looked at the table and only then did her thoughts get pulled back a little.

Blackjack? They were playing blackjack! She had no recollection of it in the first round.

However, the arrangement of this round was still familiar to her. Frederick was leading with one point.

A tie? For a moment, it was as if she was forced to jump off a plank. Her palms becsweaty and she almost stopped breathing.

She then looked at the man beside her. Her heart ached and she just could not believe that he would do such a thing! He took her as a bet! Seeing him now, so carefree and wearing a shirt with his sleeves casually folded up, Alicia's feelings were just indescribable.

Did he not care at all? Was that why he could be so carefree now? Once again, she felt the intense gazes from the enchanting Asian woman and the man from the opposite She felt an everlasting despair surrounding her. At thismoment, she felt that she did not even want to beg or get angry. She felt empty and hopeless in her heart. Very quickly, the third round started.

After a few cards were passed, the man had already shown his final card. It was nineteen points with well- arranged clubs. Whereas for Frederick, his cards were already fifteen points in total. At this moment, Nickor laughed out loud.

"That would be enough for me! It seems that the chances ofwinning this round is more likely! Mr. Clements, you don't have much choice!" Continuing the bet or not, he was in a critical state.

If he stopped the bet, his bottom card had to be either five or six in order to win. However, both of these cards had already been shuffled out. The possibilities of him winning were really low.

If he continued, he might exceed the limit of twenty-one. That would be even more risky.

Usually in this kind of situation, it was unlikely to continue! No matter what, the possibility of winning was too low! Alicia wished she couldn't understand. However, she understood as Jeremy taught her before.

It was like a death verdict. She closed her eyes and felt an extrdespair. In the blink of an eye, her whole world fell silent. She could only feel like something was moving in her vision but she could not hear a thing.

Unexpectedly, without much thought, Frederick said, "Bring out the cards! I will continue!"

Soon, a card shuffled out in front of him. Everyone held their breaths and a card with three hearts appeared Suddenly, the crowd gasped. Sinvar, on the opposite side, gasped in shock as well. Frederick, on the other hand, was relieved. Good thing he remembered and calculated everything very accurately!

In the next second, a burst of laughter sounded, "Risky move?m You're just lucky this time! Eighteen points! Mr. Clements, I don't believe that you would be so lucky!" Frederick raised his hand and gently revealed the corner of the card.

Suddenly, the crowd becsilent Everyone held their breath and their focus was all on his hand. His long, slender finger moved slightly. The man on the opposite side had already moved forward impatiently to see.

Swiftly, he threw out the card and chuckled slightly, "I'm sorry but it seems that I do have the luck this time!"

When he flipped the bottom card, it was all hearts, the card numbers were arranged gracefully, "2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and it was a stunning straight flush! At that moment, Sinvar was so agitated that he almost stood up. His eyes were wide open.

Impossible! His bottom card was actually the number two? With such a slight possibility? He actually took the risk to get two cards and even won him? Looking at it again and again, Sinvar dropped his jaw in horror...
