Chapter 344: This Is A Tactic
Chapter 344: This Is A Tactic
Crystal felt like a pain in her back. She always felt a pair of familiar eyes staring at her in the dark.
She coldly removed Eric’s hand and turned to face the card table.
The bunny carried a black cane with a triangular diamond at the top.
She pressed the cane, touched the dealer, and the center disc began to turn and send out the cards.
Everyone looked so nervous that they were too nervous about picking up the cards. But Nancy, as soon as she saw it, reached for the card excitedly. Crystal had already told her about her plan for the evening and would use her as a wager to get her out, so she should be the most relaxed of all.
She was not stupid enough not to notice that Crystal and Eric were acting.
Nancy touched the card, and Paul gave her a good whack on the back of her hand.
“Hey, why did you hit me? It hurts!”
“Why do you touch it before it is dealt out?”
The machine was still dealing, and Nancy said crossly, “Nobody makes a rule that you have to wait until the deal is done before you see the cards!”
Paul gave his eyebrows a big squeeze.
Damn it. Why was this woman so excited and so desperate?
Why was his heart weighed down like a mountain?
He pressed her hard on the shoulder. “Do you know what it means if we win?”
“You should be happy. If you win, you get the property.”
“I mean you.”
“Me? What’s wrong with me?”
“Are you stupid? I mean, did you ever think about what would happen if we lost?” Paul gave her a vicious look. “You’ll be sold to be a dancer.”
Then he shook his head vigorously.
“No, it’s not your size to be a dancer. That suits you.” Paul pointed to a nearby man in a thick furry bear costume. “You’re only supposed to be funny.”
Rat never got enough of laughing at her.
Nancy gave him the cold shoulder.
Then the Bunny said, “Please turn over your card in three minutes. Once you have looked at your card, you will have no chance to give up.”
The rabbit’s red lips moved in a very sexy way.
“Or are you going to dress like a bunny and deal cards to people every day?”
“No.”
“Then, it’s still too late for you to give up.”
He hadn’t looked at his card yet.
Nancy curled her lips. “Nope. I’d rather be a bunny-dealer than around you.”
Paul got mad. This damn woman! What was she talking about?
People around them watched their cards gradually. Some people immediately showed a sad expression, while others kept silent.
“Well, please read the cards and turn them over to everyone.”
One after another, people started flipping cards.
Paul pressed his card on the table and then lifted a corner of his card. He glanced at the cards that had been turned out of his desk, the biggest of which was the heart K.
That was to say, the only way to win was to get the king of spades, and the odds of winning were almost infinitesimal.
Nancy’s little hand snuck up to the card and tried to get it.
Paul grabbed her by the wrist. For some reason, he had a very strong hunch tonight.
“There’s one last couple that hasn’t flipped the card.” The bunny flipped her hair, looked at them, and said, “Please.”
The man who had the heart K was getting impatient. “If you don’t have the spade K, give it up while you can.”
Eric raised an eyebrow and came over to him. “What, you can’t even turn a card? Since when are you afraid of losing a woman?”
“This is a tactic! Who would care for that woman!”
“Don’t bite your tongue. If someone takes her away, don’t regret it. Now is your last chance to confess.” Eric forced Paul to say, “Tell her that you love her, and then bring back your son. It will be great fun for the three of you.”
Paul hissed, exasperated. He did not hesitate to pick up the card. He did not look at it and threw it on the dealer.
Well, it was Spade K.
That was a tiny chance. But it just happened.
The others were surprised, but the owner of the Heart K had no smug look at all.
“Wow! Crystal, do you see that? It’s Spade K.”
Nancy was unabashedly happy and clapped her hands. Winning meant she qualified for the finals, so she felt like she was really going to be rescued.
At the thought of this, she couldn’t help but pick up the card and give it a few hard kisses.
“Clark, Mommy is coming to see you soon!” Nancy exclaimed in her heart.
The expression on Paul’s face was hard to describe. He watched Nancy swoop up to Crystal and give her a big hug.
This damned woman! Was she so happy that she could leave him?
She was so stuck to him that she could not be shaken off in those days.
She spent every day trying to please him, hoping that he would admire her. Paul felt a dull pulling pain in his chest widen.
His lips went white, and his heart began to tremble. He always felt that he had lost Nancy before he knew it.
Eric smiled calmly. “What’s wrong with you? You won the pk match, and you look so miserable?”
Paul, distracted, tugged at his bow tie and took a deep breath.
The bunny smiled and waved her cane and said, “Sir, congratulations. You’re in the final tonight.”
This final was in the form of a roulette.
The wheel came in three forms: the star, the moon, and the sun.
The glass ball would decide if he won or lost.
If the ball rolled to the sun, he would get the property rights of a city at random.
If it was the moon, it meant he could turn the wheel again.
If it was a star, he lost and ended the game.
Crystal knew they were going to get the Spade K because Eric’s friend was behind the scenes.
As for the roulette, of course, the guy was going to let Paul win two rounds, give him a sweet taste, and then make him lose.
On the one hand, it didn’t make Paul suspicious. On the other hand, it could be Paul’s compensation for losing Nancy.
Eric had walked back to Crystal, and Nancy was pulled over to the roulette wheel by Paul.
“Honey, what are you thinking about?” Eric asked cheerfully.
“I’ve been thinking that by giving him two wins, they’re going to give him two properties. It seems like a terrible deal.”
Eric said quietly, “There is a city-sponsored by me.”
“Out of Mr. Garcia’s generosity.”
Crystal thought it was so weird. Not only did Garcia want to play this scene for Eric, but would he be willing to lose a city?
Eric knew nothing could escape Crystal’s eyes and smiled faintly, “Do you want to know why?”
He didn’t wait for her answer but hung her head. “Kiss me, and I will tell you.”
Crystal gave him a disgusted look and wanted to slap him.
She didn’t bother talking about him and looked away.
Eric said mysteriously, “Because Mr. Garcia is interested in Nancy.”
