Chapter 607
The chips in the pool at that time were worth more than 1OOOO dollars!
Back then, Catelyn did not expect that Cedric and Charles were rich, given how unassuming they looked.
That room, unlike the one they were in, was divided into several areas; Cedrick and Charles were in one of the play
zones. There were even white chandeliers hung on the ceiling which made the room bright.
In contrast, the lighting of the VIP room Catelyn and her friends were singing in was soft and hazy.
Under such a fascinating ambiance, Cedrick could not help but slip his arm around Catelyn's waist and squeeze
lightly, which caught Catelyn by surprise.
"Just have fun there," rang his voice, husky and soft. "Don't worry about losing money."
Edwin's keen ears heard Cedrick's whisper, and his eyes twinkled excitedly. "Don't be shy, Kitty! Cedrick earns a lot,
so even if he loses millions of dollars, he can earn it back the next day."

Catelyn stared at Cedrick in surprise as she internally shrieked,' Millions of dollars?!'
"I'll be your guide. Let's go." Cedrickdid not even fret about Catelyn losing money for him. Instead, it would please
him. After all, he could use that as leverage, reminding her someday of his ' kindness' should she ever second-
guess him.
Cedrick then pushed Catelyn to the card table.
They were playing poker, but the rules were slightly different and complicated. Most importantly, the starting pool
prize was 15000 dollars.
Catelyn took a deep breath, she initially agreed to play because they had given her many expensive gifts, so it
would be appropriate to lose some money to them in return.
To her surprise, she won the first few rounds!
The pile of chips in the pool was getting larger and higher.
Edwin then said with a smile, "Seems like Lady Luck favors you tonight, Kitty! I think it's time to change the rules."
Catelyn recognized that look on Edwin's face. It was the look he made when he felt frisky.
She felt like he had been losing purposely to lure her into his trap. Still, she would not allow herself to be a coward.
"Alright, I'll bite. What is it?"
"Drinking." Edwin pointed to his wine cabinet in the corner and said, "If you lose, you have to drink a glass of wine,
or you can take off your clothes, if you don't want to drink, until you're naked."
Catelyn blushed. "That's unfair! I'm a lady!"
"Who said you're the one taking off clothes? Isn't your 'guide' behind you?"
Catelyn was nominally the host of the party that night. They all came to toast her during dinner, and Cedrickhad
already drunk several glasses of wine for her.
She figured out that the wine was strong judging by Jolene and Joanne's searing red faces.
Therefore, she felt it was more convenient to play with money.

again with my own money."
Just as Catelyn's hand landed on the stack of chips, a large palm passed over her hand, stopping her from giving
back the chips.
Cedrick's deep eyes stared at Edwin and darkened. "Are you sure the loser needs to drink and undress?"
"If you're not feeling up to it, I don't mind you drinking a whole bottle of wine."
Edwin himself had no idea why he suddenly wanted to see Cedrick get drunk and take off his clothes.
It might be that he was unhappy that Cedrick was going to marry Catelyn. After all, Cedrick had hurt Catelyn for so
long, yet she accepted his proposal too soon.
Edwin just felt that it was not worth it for her.
"I'm afraid that you'll be the one who loses in the end." Cedrick sneered and threw the cards in Catelyn's hand on
the card table.
At that moment, Catelyn could feel that a storm was brewing.
