NovelEnglishChapter 872 The Casino Part Four
“I’ll call!” Caleb threw out the king of hearts.
“In that case, I’ll continue,” the croupier informed softly.
When Natalie revealed her second card which was obviously better than Caleb’s, his expression
drastically changed.
“I’ll call.” Natalie made nothing out of it.
“I’ll call too.” Caleb sounded as if he was seething.
As the game involved betting a lady, a curious crowd began to gather and watch the ridiculous yet
exciting game.
When the third card was about to be revealed, Natalie was steady as a rock. As for Caleb, his forehead
was already drenched in sweat.
In the midst of watching, Lia whispered to Yandel, “Does he still think that he can beat Ms. Nichols?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Probably. This jerk isn’t just heartless but also lacking in the brains department,” Yandel mocked.
Despite his lament, he continued to maintain a sympathetic gaze at Anna.
At the end of the day, Anna grew up in a prominent family. To be treated as collateral by the man she
loved, I can’t imagine how heartbroken she is.
Yandel had a vague idea of what Natalie was trying to do when she agreed to the bet with Caleb. Even
though her intentions were noble, the impact on Anna was exceedingly harsh.
“Are both of you going to call?” the croupier asked Natalie and Caleb in a professional tone.
Natalie cracked a smile. “I’ll call.”
As for Caleb, he was in a panic. The first card in hand was an extremely good card, but his subsequent
cards had no commonalities at all, restricting him from forming any pairs.
On Natalie’s end, she didn’t have big cards, but they were all from the same suit and in consecutive
numbers. At the rate she was going, she would easily thrash Caleb.
“Are you calling?” Natalie broke into an elegant smile.
Caleb threw the cards in his hands aside and ranted, “No!”
Subsequently, the croupier declared that he had lost the showdown.
Even though the loss was his fault, Caleb shot Anna a vicious look. “You’re truly a jinx!”
Despite her efforts to murmur a response, no words came out.
Natalie walked up to Caleb with a narrowed gaze and declared, “You have now lost your wife to me.
Nevertheless, I’ll give you the option of having her back. All you have to do is write me an IOU for three
million. Whenever you pay it back to me, I’ll return her to you.”
No sooner had Natalie’s words rolled off her tongue than Anna’s eyes were filled with emotion.
Leaning closer to Caleb, she looked longingly at him despite not expressing it in words.
In the end, her last hope was nothing but a pipe dream.
Staying true to his heartless character, he waved his hand after weighing his options. “There’s no need
to, for she’s nothing but a jinx. Ever since I married her, my days gradually worsened. I wouldn’t pay
three million to get her back even if I had the money. Therefore, writing the IOU is nothing but a waste

His words were so shocking that Anna felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Every time she held up hope, she would be repaid with despair.
She had assumed that all her sacrifices would be appreciated by Caleb and didn’t expect him to look
down upon her.
At that moment, the sound of three crisp slaps rang out at the gambling table.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Caleb was consecutively slapped on his left and right cheeks by Natalie.
Natalie threw every single slap with all her might, causing Caleb’s face to swell like a pig and blood to
ooze out from the corner of his lips.
“How dare you hit me?” Caleb looked at Natalie in disbelief.
“You deserved to be slapped!” Stretching her hands, Natalie declared in an authoritative tone, “I didn’t
like your face from the very beginning!”
Both Anna and the croupier were speechless.
Lia gushed, “Ms. Nichols, you’re amazing!”
Yandel, too, looked on in admiration, “My boss is the most awesome person in the universe!”
