Chapter 515:

For an instant, Amorâs confidence flickered. She studied Allison, who looked disturbingly self-assured.
Ten million was nothing to scoff at â especially if another raise would push the pot near thirty million.
If Allison was all-in, the only logical reason was that she held a rare, unbeatable hand.
Amor hesitated. Should she fold or call?
Amorâs gaze narrowed as she weighed the risk, her mind racing. Then, with steely resolve, she slapped her cards down.
âFold.â
The reveal was immediate â Amorâs two Kings lay exposed for all to see.
The crowd erupted into murmurs and laughter, a mix of awe and disbelief.
âWhatâs Scarlet Snake holding?â one spectator demanded, craning for a better view. âA straight flush, maybe?â
âOr something even rarer?â
A suspenseful hush fell over the room, everyone straining to catch a glimpse of Allisonâs hand. Colton found himself holding his breath, wondering what monstrous hand had driven her to bet ten million with such poise.
Allison, savoring the moment, lifted her cards slowly and laid them down.
A three of hearts and a nine of diamonds.
The room fell silent, then exploded into astonished disbelief.
âWhat? Thatâs⦠thatâs all?â
âA Jack-high from the community cards? But she tricked Amor into folding Kings!â
âShe gambled on nothing? If Amor had called, Scarlet Snake would be down thirty million!â
Amorâs face went white. âYou!â Her expression was one of pure shock as she gaped at Allison, searching for any sign of anxiety. There was none â just a gentle, infuriatingly innocent smile.
âNice hand,â Allison said warmly, tilting her head with a feigned sweetness that only deepened Amorâs disbelief.
In that moment, Amor knew â sheâd been played.
