Chapter 164
Charles kept looking over his shoulder to see if Lucy had returned.
When he refocused on the game, he saw Audrey sitting across from him at the gambling table.
Charles was briefly taken aback but soon flashed a smile. “Hey, if it isn’t Audrey! Long tno see.’
Audrey smiled faintly, playing with her chips. “It has been a while, Mr. Murray. Would you like to gamble a few
rounds with me?”
“Who is this pretty girl? Why have | never seen her before?” Lucy cback and sat beside Charles with a smile,
nudging him playfully.
She then looked at Audrey, smirking. “Is this your way of getting Mr. Murray's attention?”
“Yeah, Audrey, are you trying to get my attention?” Charles hugged Lucy, laughing. “You've grown quite sensible
over the years. If you had been like this earlier, that little mute wouldn't have gone through so much, don’t you
think?”
Audrey didn’t seem bothered. She continued smiling as she said, “I chere today to make sure you lose
everything.”

Lucy laughed. “Are you kidding? Everyone in this casino knows that Mr. Murray has the best luck. As long as he
sits at this table, he won't lose.”
“Is that so? Then, Mr. Murray, are you going to gamble?”
“Ms. Yeomans chere personally, so why wouldn't | gamble with her?” Charles kissed Lucy on the cheek.
“Let's do it!”
The dealer began to deal the cards.
Audrey looked at her hand, tapped lightly, and then looked at Charles. The man was smiling broadly as he
arranged his cards.
She chose to fold.
They played nine rounds, during which Audrey consistently lost-to Charles’ evident delight.
Seeing Audrey's displeasure, Charles beceven more excited. “Didn’t you say you wantedto lose
everything?”
Audrey let out a cold laugh, her expression darkening as she looked at Charles. “How about we make this more
interesting?”
Charles chuckled at Lucy. “Look, someone's in a hurry!”
“Let's go all in; winner takes all. How about that?” Audrey's eyes gleamed.
While Charles hesitated, Lucy smiled and caressed his chest. “Why would Mr. Murray be afraid of you? Have you
ever won against him once? Stop talking big here, | advise you to take your remaining

chips and leave, so you won't lose everything!”
Charles laughed. “Exactly, and you don’t even have as many chips as | do. Why should | agree to an all -in deal
with you?”
“Then I'll wager myself. How about that?” Audrey placed her hands on the table, as if daring Charles.
Charles’ eyes lit up. He had been thinking about Audrey for quite stime. He sought revenge on Harper
because he couldn't get Audrey,
Charles released Lucy and rested his elbows on the gambling table. “Alright! But Ms. Yeomans, don’t go back on
your word when you lose!”
“Do you needto sign anything?” Audrey asked.

“Of course, that would be best!” Charles waved the casino staff over.
Such agreements were common in a casino, so there were established procedures in place.
With the casino staff as witness, Audrey and Charles soon signed an agreement and sat down at the
gambling table once again.
This time, it was an unlimited betting table.
As the dealer dealt the cards, Charles and Lucy smiled upon seeing his hand.
Lucy looked smugly at Audrey. “You're definitely going to lose this time, Ms. Yeomans!” Lucy leaned into
Charles’s embrace. “Mr. Murray, even if Ms. Yeomans loses, you can’t abandon me!”
“Of course not, you're my lucky star! | won't abandon you for anyone!” Charles playfully patted Lucy's face.
Texas Hold'em. Five community cards, two hole cards.
The community cards were a four of spades, a five of spades, and a seven of diamonds.
It was a one-shot deal.
Charles pushed all his remaining chips into the pot while Audrey went allin with her own-including the wager on
herself.
