Chapter 302: After saying this, Rachel casually glanced over at Yvonne. "Yvonne, do I seem like a fool to you?" "Of course not. If anyone's got issues, it's definitely not you. It's sof these men who are really out of their minds." That comment was clearly aimed at someone in particular.
Brian watched Rachel intently, searching for any sign of vulnerability, but he couldn't find anything. She kept a soft smile on her face with no hint of sadness in sight.
"Another round," Brian said, trying to hide his frustration.

This time, everyone was secretly set on winning.
Norton revealed his card first-it was a 7.
Eric followed with a "10", which wasn't bad at all.
"Tracy, it's your turn," Rachel said, looking at her.
Tracy forced a smile and turned to Yvonne. "Why don't you go first? I'm curious to see what you have." Just as Yvonne was about to say something, her card suddenly disappeared. Norton had grabbed it out of her hand. "Give it back to me!" Yvonne shot him a furious glare, standing up and grabbing onto his clothes as she reached for the card. She was so quick that Norton didn't even have a chance to let go.
With a sharp ripping sound, the card was torn in half.
Norton stared blankly at the half card in his hand. He felt oddly innocent, as though he hadn't meant for any of this to happen. All he had wanted was to teach Yvonne a small lesson for causing trouble with Tracy. Standing off to the side, he looked like a child caught in the act of doing something wrong.

Norton figured that apologizing was already a major step back for him. After all, it was Yvonne who had been seeking him out recently. He had given her a chance to back down, but she didn't take it. Instead, her sharp retort left him both embarrassed and irritated.
"Yvonne, do you even hear yourself? Your behavior doesn't reflect the role you should be playing as my wife."
Before Norton could finish his sentence, Yvonne, holding the torn buying card, suddenly burst into tears. Her En voice rang out, sharp and full of hurt.
"Norton, all you ever do is scold me!"
Norton froze, completely taken aback. In every argument they'd ever had, she had never cried like this. Her I unexpected tears left him completely flustered.
"Uh, Yvonne, alright... I shouldn't have taken your card Please don't.."
