Chapter 608
Catelyn secretly glanced at Joanne and Jolene, who were singing.
She knew that two friends of hers would be dying to see Edwin and Cedrick having some sort of 'bromantic affair'
together.
Maybe it was because the rules of the game were changed, or maybe it was because Edwin and the others did not
hold back their skills anymore, but Catelyn lost five games in a row later on.
She did not even dare to look at Cedrick's livid face.
"Kitty, your poker skills are indeed a little unreliable. I'm embarrassed to let Cedrick keep drinking like that."

'What a shameless man. He's actually gloating!' hissed Catelyn internally.
Cedrick drank all the wine in the cup in one go. No matter how good he was at handling his alcohol, his face had
begun to turn red.
Knowing that he had a gastric problem, Catelyn tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Let's admit our defeat and
stop playing. Or, why not let me drink if I lose again?"
"There’s no such word 'loss' in my dictionary," declined Cedrick.
Catelyn was so distressed that she might need to go to the hospital just because Cedrick was giving his all in a
game!
She hurriedly asked the waiter to bring some dry food such as bread for Cedrick to ease his gastric pain.
Suddenly, Cedrick's lips quirked into a small smile. "It's not over yet. Don't be too complacent, shuffle the cards!"
As soon as Catelyn heard Cedrick, she started to concentrate on the game.
What shocked her was that no matter how bad her play cards were, Cedrick always had a way to fool the others,
and the chips stacked up very quickly.
She was amazed by Cedrick's calmness.
Soon, she was blessed by the goddess of luck, when it came to the ' river' card, a King of Spades was placed by the
dealer.
Edwin showed his hands as he said, "straight flush."
Catelyn's eyes lit up with excitement. She almost jumped up from her seat as she pointed at the 'river' card and
shouted, "We won! We won!"

"Huh? That makes just a pair of ten. You knew a single pair won't beat my straight flush, right?"
Cedrick then revealed the card that was covered by the ten of spades with a very calm expression.
"My apologies, but here's an ace of spades, which makes this a royal flush. Taking what you owed from previous
matches into consideration, do you choose to drink all the wine on this table, or do you plan to even take off your
panties?"
When the game was over, Edwin blushed.
Undoubtedly, he would not take off his underwear, so he could only drink all the wine.
'Get a load of your own medicine!' harrumphed Catelyn to herself.
Cedrick also drank a lot. Catelyn was very worried that his gastric problems would recur. After calling a cab for
Jolene and Joanne, she supported Cedrick by his shoulders as they walked back to sober up.
