Chapter 537:
Stunned, Melany stammered, âThatâs right.â
But she froze after the words escaped her lips.
Allison hadnât made a single mistake since the start.
Amorâs calm facade finally shattered, her heartbeat quickening. No.
Allison must have figured it out. She knew the cards were rigged.
âItâs a pity, but you canât cry over spilled milk in a casino.â Amorâs eyes widened, a mix of terror and disbelief flickering across her face. But Allison ignored it.
Just like before, she casually picked up two cards, her voice smooth as silk as she announced their values before revealing them.
âBoth are clubsâ¦â
The crowd leaned in, necks craned in eager anticipation. Every card Allison flipped matched her prediction with uncanny precision!
What was even more jaw-dropping was how her speed increased with each turn of the cards. Her accuracy with pairs was a flawless 100%!
âWow, is this some sort of photographic memory?â one onlooker gasped.
âNo, it feels more like Scarlet Snake is flipping cards on pure instinct,â another whispered.
âWhat instinct? It looks like sheâs got the entire deck memorized!â
Whispers rippled through the crowd, and the calmness in Allisonâs demeanor sent a chill racing down Amorâs spine. If Allison had truly caught her cheating, the fallout would be catastrophic! Especially with Kylo watching, a man infamous for his ruthless reputation.
Amorâs legs wobbled, and she nearly stumbled off the stage, taking a few steps back as panic set in.
âAmor!â Fay, unaware of the brewing storm, rushed forward to steady her. âScarlet Snake is just sharp-witted, but sheâs bound to slip up like last time!â
At that moment, Kyloâs piercing gaze shifted toward them. Amor met his eyes for a heartbeat before quickly averting her gaze. His dark, emotionless stare was like a bottomless pit filled with dread.
The cold intent in his eyes was enough to send shivers spiraling down her spine.
Taking a deep breath, Amor steeled herself, forcing her breathing to steady. âIâm fine.â
Cheating in a casino could lead to consequences ranging from minor annoyances to outright disaster. If only Allison could be bought off to keep quiet.
Worst-case scenario, sheâd just lose some cash.
But if Kylo found outâ¦
A deep, gnawing fear washed over Amor. She realized she wouldnât leave Muisvedo in one piece!
Determined to pivot her strategy, Amor knew she had to change her game plan. Winning was no longer an option; she had to lose!
Even if it meant throwing a hand to Allison, at least sheâd safeguard her life.
