Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The North Wind She Wants Is Always By Her Side Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The North Wind She Wants Is Always By Her Side He curled his lips, and the seductive aura casually swirled in her ears, carrying a strange magic that almost hooked Cherish Turnerâs entire soul.
Cherish was completely under his control, unable to move.
William Griffith rearranged the cards in her hand, and suddenly, the mahjong tiles seemed to come to life.
Cherishâs expression brightened. Although she didnât know how to play, her parents often participated in such activities, so she was familiar with the cards.
She was just one card away from winning!
The three people opposite her were all seasoned card players. Seeing Cherishâs expression, they naturally understood that William had set her up well!
Playing cards one by one, she didnât get the one she needed until it was her turn again. She eagerly looked at William and whispered, âCan I draw the next card myself?â
William indulgently smiled, âGo ahead.â
Although it was just a simple two-word reply, the way he spoke was simply too charming!
Cherish, utterly enamored, drew a card, but it was not the one she needed.
She glanced at the discard pile, which now had two East Winds and one West Wind. She actually needed a North Wind. Seeing that it wasnât there, she was a little disappointed.
As the game continued, Charles Smith and Lyndon Layman across from her already realized that she needed a North Wind.
Charles looked at William and laughed, âCherish, isnât your North Wind card sitting right next to you?â
At this moment, Benjamin Solomon walked in, heard the tail end of their conversation, saw everyone laughing, and joined the gossip, âWhat North Wind, what North Wind? Hahaha, Cherish, Iâll play cards with you from now on, so you can win back all the money William has taken from us. William is already so rich, yet he still wins our money; itâs really unfair!â
Speaking of which, they all joked and laughed, and Cherish became even more embarrassed.
Because what they said was true â the âNorth Windâ she needed was, in fact, by her side all along.
After all, wasnât William her North Wind?
Her cheeks flushed red again! These people really knew how to hit where it hurt!
âWho said I needed a North Wind? I clearly needed a South Wind!â
At that moment, Cherish drew another card, which happened to be a South Wind. But it seemed useless to her, and she was too embarrassed to discard it, so she kept it in her hand.
As the next player, Charles, was about to draw a card, William suddenly called for a pause!
âWait!â
âWhat? You canât change your mind once Cherish has drawn her card!â
âWeâve won.â
What? How is that possible?!
The South Wind was useless!
But at this moment, William laid out a South Wind card that he had been hiding in his hand!
Now Cherish had a winning hand of matching sets, a pure set, doubling the points. She had made a stunning comeback!
âWhat are you waiting for, pay up!â William urged as the other men were still dumbfounded.
They initially thought they would easily win against Cherish, but they didnât expect this turn of events. The brilliant strategist had managed to win back their previous losses!
âThis is no fun, we canât even beat this young couple! Weâre done playing!â
âWe can stop, but pay up first.â
William was never a stingy man, but when it came to Cherish, he was always protective.
The other three men directly threw a few cards over, startling Cherish!
Without even looking, William handed the cards to Cherish, âKeep the cards, buy whatever you want, and donât worry about saving money for me!â
ââ¦â She really didnât understand the world of a wealthy man!
