Chapter 688

And the others were shocked as they stared at Franklin and Sylvia.

The flirtatious and affectionate atmosphere between the two instantly

gave Harold and the others a new understanding of Sylvia.

A woman who could make Franklin notice and care about must be an

extraordinary woman.

Who exactly was she?

“Let's play a game of high-low," Hunter glanced at the cards on the

table. "It's the simplest way to play.”

Sylvia raised her eyes, her delicate features unforgettable.

Especially her cold temperament, which matched Franklin's aura

perfectly.

Her slender fingertips held a playing card, making her look stunningly

beautiful. Her pupils emitted a seductive light under the lamp light.

"Are you sure you want to play high-low?"

Her words made Harold and others confused about what she meant.

Sylvia casually spoke up, “There are people in this world called

geniuses, understand?"

Harold's expression became extremely strange for a moment as he

looked at Sylvia. He felt that this woman was very mysterious but didn't

know whether or not to believe her words since people who claimed to

be geniuses were rare indeed.

He was skeptical when he heard Hunter sneer, "Deputy Chief loves

joking around.”

“If you don't believe me, let's get started.”

Sylvia nodded without shuffling; instead she glanced over at Harold and

said, "Shuffle them."

Harold was speechless.

Was she ordering him? Was she asking him, the highest-ranking

minister, to shuffle cards? To be her card-shuffling minion?

However, what made him even more speechless was that he actually

went over there obediently to shuffle them. When it dawned on him, he

had finished shuffling!

This... was really inexplicable!

Why did he listen to this woman's orders?

Seeing Harold involuntarily becoming Sylvia's minion for shuffling cards

almost made Jasper laugh out loud. He couldn't help but move his lips,

silently saying: Miss Andrews is amazing!

Franklin sitting next to Sylvia lazily crossed his long legs with an

indulgent smile on his handsome face; his wife must be a genius after

all...

And everyone else stared at her like they saw some kind of monster...

Normally in their minds, Harold was so high up that no one could reach

him!

Even the vice president would show some respect when meeting

Harold.

Now, this woman actually ordered him to shuffle? And he obediently did

it?

Harold was really frustrated.

Why should he listen to this woman's orders? At that time, he didn't

know why, but when he sensed the powerful aura emanating from her

body, he involuntarily wanted to submit.

Damn it!

He is the highest-ranking minister.

He really lost face this time.

As he regretted it, Sylvia's cold voice sounded again. "Let's not stand

on ceremony! Whoever has a higher hand wins. Best two out of three

rounds. How about that?"

Hunter sat in his seat and nodded lightly.

"For fairness’ sake, please let Mr. Gamble deal!" Sylvia ordered Harold

very impolitely again.

Harold decided not to be a dealer anymore this time. He cleared his

throat and was about to refuse when Sylvia said, "Only Mr. Gamble is

qualified as a dealer here because Mr. Gamble has the highest rank."

Harold turned green with anger; if he didn't deal... did that mean his

rank wasn't high enough?

So dealing cards was only because of his high rank? So that made him

qualified?

Damn it!

He couldn't refute her at all.

So he reluctantly picked up the stack of shuffled cards and began

dealing one card each for Sylvia and Hunter respectively.

Jasper could hardly contain himself from laughing out loud; Miss

Andrews was too awesome!

Franklin's deep-set eyes flickered as they gazed intently at Sylvia who

seemed radiant with an unusual glow.

After dealing five cards, Hunter began looking down at his own cards

one by one while letting out a sigh of relief after seeing them.

However... when Hunter looked up again after checking his hand

thoroughly - he saw a faint smile on the lips of the woman sitting across

from him.

For some reason unknown even to himself, seeing those sparkling

eyes and those slightly curved red lips made him feel uneasy deep

inside.

"Please reveal your hands," Harold dutifully played along as their card

dealer.

Hunter revealed his hand directly without any hesitation: four identical

faces plus one single card which brought some relief to his supporters,

who were sitting around watching eagerly; they couldn't believe that on

their first game, Sylvia would have gotten herself a straight flush!

"Four of a Kind, not bad,” she nodded.

Chaz thought she had a bad hand and couldn't help but smirk, his eyes

glinting with challenge and pride. "Deputy Chief, it's your turn to show

your cards."

Four of a Kind is when you have four cards with the same face value

plus one other card.
