Chapter 1460
“Randall, you guys know him?” Nathan asked.
Everyone shook their heads. “We haven’t seen him in years, but he did show up at the casino next door once. He
played so hard that the casino had to close for a full six months! Just think about how much profit a casino makes in
one night, let alone six months! Can you guys even comprehend that?!” In the gambling world, Randall was like a
god. In fact, no one knew his real name. All they knew was that he once declared he would win, and he did, leaving
everyone dumbfounded, as if Lady Luck herself had descended.
Nathan seemed a bit disappointed. He took a sip from a beer bottle he’d somehow acquired, sighed deeply, and
complained, “I don’t even know if Randall is really that good.”
At that moment, Chloe, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and said, “I have two million in chips. Who dares to
gamble with me?”
“Pfft…” Nathan, who was drinking his beer, was startled by Chloe’s words, and spat out his drink. He looked at Chloe
in surprise, blinking in disbelief, repeatedly confirming if those words really came from the “innocent, kind–hearted,
cute, smart and wise” Chloe.
“You are serious…”
Everyone gasped in shock. Had this woman lost her mind?
“To win six hundred thousand, plus your initial two million… that’s just insane…” And incredibly stupid!
“I just want to have some fun.” Chloe spoke again, this time directly to Damon.
Damon, looking at her expectant gaze, could only nod. “Let’s play then.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeople shook their heads. “Spoiling a woman this much is overdoing it. It’s just wasting money.”
Damon looked at them impassively. “Then what do I earn money for?”
Everyone. “What?”
Damon continued, “Earning money is, of course, to spend on women.”
Everyone was speechless. Nathan and Kane could only hold their foreheads in disbelief. So that was the purpose of
earning money!
Just then, Damon’s phone rang. He glanced at Nathan and Kane beside him, got their assurance, and then looked
at Chloe. He was abroad now, and unless it was really important, no one would call him.
Chloe gave him a look, and Damon picked up his phone and turned away.
Meanwhile, on the staircase of the second floor, someone noticed the excitement downstairs. He peeked through
the railing and saw a crowd of people gathering. The people in the center were all facing away from him, so he
couldn’t see their faces.
“What’s going on?” He asked the casino manager with a frown.
“There’s a new lady from H Country. She doesn’t know anything about gambling. She’s already lost hundreds of
thousands, but now she wants to win it all back! She even wants to place a two–million bet.”
Rhys raised an eyebrow. “A newbie? Quite ballsy.”
“Yes, she seems to know nothing about the rules of any of the games here, and she just suddenly showed up.”
“I’ll go check it out. I’ve been having bad luck these days, might as well use her to turn it around.”
Rhys was a well–known figure in Las Vegas. When he came down from upstairs, some familiar faces began to make
a fuss.
“Make way. Make way. Let Rhys through!”
Hearing these words, Chloe laughed. Seeing her subtle expression, Damon also smiled. This woman was truly
unpredictable.
When they heard Rhys was coming over, everyone knew he was not to be trifled with and quickly made way for
him.
As Rhys approached and saw Chloe, his legs became weak. If he hadn’t steadied himself in time, he would have
fallen. Maybe it was an illusion, but seeing Chloe made the places where he’d been whipped hurt.
“It’s you! What are you doing here?”
Chloe looked at Rhys with a surprised expression. “Viscount Rhys, what a coincidence to meet you here. I was just
bored and thought I’d come out for
some air.”
Chloe propped her chin on her hand and smiled at him. “Long time no see, are you well, Viscount Rhys? I heard you
invested a large sum of money in the Alonso Corporation. Is that true?”
Rhys suddenly felt a chill. He’d been spending his days in the casino lately and was completely unaware of what was
happening outside. He was even ignorant of what had happened at the state banquet.
Aya had called him yesterday, telling him she wanted to buy the Alonso family’s shares and needed his investment.
He respected Ava greatly and had no objections to her decisions. So without asking any questions, he agreed. He
had just signed the documents and was preparing to approve them.
Rhys looked at Chloe warily and asked coldly, “How do you know?”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, stood up, and said, “I was just asking, but none of this matters. You just said you wanted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto gamble with me, didn’t you? Shall we start now?”
Rhys had complicated feelings towards Chloe. He loved Chloe’s personality, but he had been rejected by her when
he pursued her, and she had humiliated him in front of the media. He was annoyed and unwilling!
Moreover, Chloe was Damon’s woman, which made him want her even more.
Atwo–million bet was a high–stakes game. People started to gather around to watch. Seeing Chloe’s fearless
demeanor, some people began to caution
her.
“You better quit while you’re ahead. Losing six hundred thousand is better than losing a lot more later.”
“Rhys is a renowned gambler, so you’re bound to lose horribly.”
“Stop joking around. Gotta know when to quit.”
If he wanted to win Chloe’s heart, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity. Rhys gave a faint smile, saying, “To be
honest, I’m not short of money, and I don’t want to make you lose too badly. So, I agree to gamble with you. If I
lose, I lose money. If you lose, you lose yourself. How about it?”
Chloe didn’t know anything. After all, he could easily handle her. This woman he’d wanted for so long would
definitely be his.
Actually, when it came to picking ladies, Rhys didn’t necessarily have to go for Chloe. But the fact that he couldn’t
have her, a woman he rarely took a fancy to, kind of grinded his gears.
After all, there was a world of difference between a woman you couldn’t get and a woman you’d had your fun with
and then ditched.
