Chapter 871 The Casino Part Three
Caleb remarked in a nonchalant tone, “Won’t you still be my wife if I end up winning? You’re just the collateral for the time being, so there’s nothing for you to lose.”
“But what if you lose?” Anna asked in disbelief.
“How can you not be confident in me?” Caleb retorted. “As my wife, you should have unconditional trust in me and believe in my absolute victory. Given how you’re filled with doubts now, it’s obvious that your feelings toward me have changed.”
“You…” Anna gritted her teeth as hatred welled up within her. “Caleb, marrying a jerk like you was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made!”
Ignoring whatever Anna said, Caleb kept blinking at Yandel. “Are you betting or not? Do you have three million? Shall I bet my wife?”
Yandel was so outraged that he could feel his blood boil. “You are worse than a f*cking animal! By getting me to bet with you, you’re—”
Before he could finish, Natalie interrupted, “Yandel, bet with him. Let’s put in three million.”
“Boss?” Yandel and Lia were clueless as to what Natalie was up to.
Even Anna was shocked, for she didn’t understand why Natalie would agree to a bet with scum like Caleb.
Nevertheless, Yandel obeyed Natalie’s instruction and nodded. “I’m in.”
The croupier knitted her brows by the side. “Erm…”
Natalie threw her a glance and cracked a faint smile. “Fullmoon has a history of almost a hundred years, and this isn’t the first time such a bet is made. Therefore, don’t worry about your commission as it will be borne by the winner. All you need to do is to bear witness to our game.”
Given that the croupier was someone experienced, her concerns were allayed after hearing Natalie’s words.
Sweeping her gaze across the familiar faces, Anna bit her lip. “I don’t want any part of this!”
“You have to participate, as it’s no longer up to you now. I’m sure you’re aware that I have lost all our money. If we don’t take this gamble, we won’t be able to afford even our daughter’s diapers. If we don’t have enough money to raise her, I’ll have no choice but to give her away,” Caleb remarked cruelly.
As that was Caleb’s way of insinuating that he was going to sell their daughter, Anna felt as if a knife had been plunged into her heart.
He sees his daughter as a product to be sold, while I can be treated as collateral. This man is no different from an animal at all!
Anna froze where she stood.
At that moment, Natalie walked up to Caleb.
“Miss, are you here to gamble against me?” Caleb let out a wry chuckle. “I won’t go soft just because you’re a woman.”
“Hmm.” Natalie shrugged her shoulders languidly.
After Yandel and Lia exchanged glances, they rolled their eyes in unison.
Evidently, Caleb was unaware of how skilled Natalie was and even dared to ridicule her.
In the end, Natalie and Caleb elected to play a game of poker.
As the croupier shuffled the cards and gave them out, Caleb looked tense while Natalie was a sea of calm. After glancing at her cards, her attention remained focused on Anna who had cried her eyes swollen.
Two years ago, Muse was the shining star in the world of design.
Unfortunately, her fall from grace came just as quick as her meteoric rise.
No one knew who caused it. Some speculated that a serious disease had befallen her, while others claimed that she had lost her talent.
Unknown to everyone, she voluntarily retired from the industry and chose to live in seclusion to focus on being a wife and mother.
Unfortunately, the famous Muse ended up being used as collateral by her gambling addict husband.
As if winning or losing didn’t matter to her, Natalie flipped over the first card and gradually said, “I’ll call.”
Ignoring Anna’s condition, Caleb was filled with irrepressible delight when he saw his card.
