His Precious Love

Chapter 98 Honor Your Bets

The smile on Meredith’s face froze when she heard that.

“I thought you were blacklisted by the entertainment industry. How are you able to afford to come to a place like this?” Kristie asked. She then glanced at the people at the table and continued with a sneer, “Oh, I see… You’ve been working out to stay in shape, huh?”

The corner of Gavin’s lips twitched as he understood what she was implying.

He would not have forgiven anyone else that easily. However, he could not afford to offend her because she was Curtis’ woman.

“You don’t want me to play because you three were ganging up on her, right? I bet that’s the reason she’s been losing all her games tonight!” Kristie stated.

“What are you saying, Ms. Winton? We wouldn’t dare do such a thing! Ms. Garland just happens to be bad at playing cards, that’s all! Besides, she was the one who proposed the bet! If you don’t believe me, then ask her yourself!” Simon protested with a smile.

Rayna chugged a glass of wine and said, “Yeah, that’s right! I proposed the bet!”

“I’ve never seen anyone as stupid as you are! Go ahead, then! Play with them and lose everything you’ve got!” Kristie scolded her with a look of disdain on her face.

Unbeknownst to her, Curtis had made his way over.

Surprised that Curtis would show up, Gavin and the others quickly greeted him, “Greetings, Mr. Faymon!”

Rayna, who had her back facing him at the time, tensed up and instinctively lowered her gaze.

Oh, my goodness! Why is he here? This is so awkward!

As Curtis nodded and glanced at the table, his gaze instantly fell upon Rayna, who was trying her best to hide from him.

Kristie grabbed Curtis by the arm and exclaimed in frustration, “This woman has to be the dumbest one I’ve ever seen! She keeps on playing with them even though she has been losing all night! As if that wasn’t bad enough, she even went as far as wagering herself!”

Rayna simply kept her head low and remained silent.

Curtis ignored Kristie’s rant and glanced at Rayna’s bet on the table. If that business trip to Tyrandas has taught me anything, it’s that Rayna isn’t the kind of person who would do something so stupid!

With that in mind, he flashed them a smile and said, “Carry on, then. Finish the game.”

With that, the card game continued.

The atmosphere at the table was somewhat tense with Curtis around. Gavin and Simon were so afraid of him that they didn’t dare ogle Rayna anymore.

The people standing behind Meredith began gossiping among each other when they saw that the game was almost over. Meredith was grinning from ear to ear as she watched on.

Rayna, on the other hand, had a stressful frown on her face. As she kept her cards covered, no one could tell what her hand was.

“It’s your turn, Ms. Garland,” Meredith said with her chin held high.

Rayna took a deep breath as she nervously rubbed her cards together.

A few seconds later, however, the look on her face changed completely. She then shot Meredith an icy- cold glare that sent shivers down the latter’s spine.

“Sorry, but it looks like I won this round,” Rayna said while tossing her cards onto the table.

Everyone in the crowd gasped in shock.

Kristie got so excited that she jumped up and down as she screamed, “What? A royal flush? Oh, my goodness! You sure are a lucky one, you vixen!”

Curtis gave her a warning look, prompting her to cover her mouth and keep quiet.

Meredith leaped to her feet and exclaimed in shock and disbelief, “H-How is this possible? You suck at playing cards! How could you win?”

“I guess I finally lucked out after losing all my games tonight,” Rayna replied with a faint smile.

The look on Gavin’s face was as cold as ice.

I only bet such a huge amount because Meredith told me that Rayna was sure to lose! I can’t believe she won! Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Simon was starting to panic as well. “That was a very impressive hand, Ms. Garland! Since we’ve all had a great time, how about we call it quits and go home now?”

He then reached out to grab the document on the table, but Curtis was faster.

“Oh, I don’t think so, Mr. Smith,” he said while placing his hand on the document. Curtis then positioned himself behind Rayna to show everyone she was under his protection.

“Ms. Garland has lost all of her games and ended up wagering herself as a result. I’m sure you and Mr. Gibson wouldn’t be happy if she tried to walk out on her bet after losing! Come now, don’t be such a

sore loser. It’s time to honor your bets.”

His tone was gentle, and yet, it managed to intimidate everyone at the scene.

“Yeah! You can’t just take the document away after losing the bet! That’s not fair! She’s an employee at Faymon Group! How dare you guys disrespect Mr. Faymon like this?” Kristie exclaimed.

Simon was sweating profusely as he said with a forced smile, “What are you saying, Ms. Winton? We wouldn’t dare disrespect Mr. Faymon! We were just… We…”

He tried desperately to come up with an excuse, but he couldn’t think of anything.

“I didn’t force you to put your fingerprint on that paper, Mr. Smith. You did it all on your own!” Rayna hiccuped and nearly fell into Curtis’ arms as she stumbled around.

After taking a moment to regain her balance, she took the document from him and waved it in the air. “We had a deal, remember? I agreed to play against the three of you at the same time. If I lose, you three will get to have your way with me. If I win, however…”

Rayna clutched the documents tightly against her chest as she continued, “I get to keep all of this! Everyone here has witnessed our little agreement. Isn’t that right, you guys?”

The onlookers nodded in agreement. “Yeah, we all saw it!”

“How could you guys gang up on a woman like that? It’s disgusting!”

“Yeah! I can’t believe you tried to walk out on your bets like that! Talk about dishonor!”

Gavin’s chest heaved as he was on the verge of exploding with anger. However, he knew he couldn’t lose his temper in front of all those people.

The patrons here are all wealthy businessmen. If I don’t honor my promise, word will spread about it, and my company’s reputation will take a dive for sure. More importantly, she has Mr. Faymon backing her up! My business will not survive if I get on his bad side!

It took less than ten seconds for Gavin to analyze the situation and make his decision. “Of course, Ms. Garland. It’s all there in writing, and you won fair and square,” he said while trying his best to suppress his anger.

Meredith went pale the moment she saw Gavin give in. “B-But I wagered four million, Mr. Gibson! I don’t have that much money!” she exclaimed while tugging at his sleeve.

Gavin brushed her hand off and said coldly, “You placed that bet of your own accord, so that’s on you! Ms. Garland is clearly skilled at playing cards! You’re the one who can’t play well!”

Rayna flashed him a faint smile. “Thank you very much, Mr. Gibson. I’ll collect the house in a few days.”

The corner of Gavin’s lips twitched slightly when he heard that. He then got up and left without saying anything.

“You’re really good at this, Ms. Garland. As promised, Zenisan Villa is yours!” Since Gavin had already agreed to honor his bet, Simon had no choice but to follow suit. He was so mad at Meredith that he shot her a furious glare before leaving.

So much for Rayna being bad at playing cards… She’s clearly just putting up an act! She was setting us all up right from the start! She pretended to be an amateur and deliberately lost all of her cash and jewelry, only to get back at us in the final round! I can’t believe she managed to win two houses and four million in just one game of poker!

With Gavin and Simon both gone from the private room, Meredith was the only one left.

She was on the verge of breaking down in tears at that point.

I have less than five hundred thousand on me right now, so how am I supposed to pay Rayna four million?
