Chapter 763 After Bernard had Eleanor settled in the couch area, she leaned in and whispered, âBabe, maybe go back to your original hair color tomorrow?â
She really liked this color, but she didnât want to see Bernard being the butt of his friendsâ jokes-even if they were just friendly banter, she couldnât stand it.
Bernard grabbed a glass of red wine from a waiter and turned to look at her, asking, âDoes our deal still stand?â
He didnât give a da mn about the hair color, but he didnât want to miss out on the thrilling experience heâd been promised twice tonight. It couldnât just be cancelled like that.
Eleanor propped her chin on her hand, thinking for a moment, then pointed to the gaming tables and asked, âDo you know how to play any of these?â
The manâs eyes were full of confidence, but he shook his head at her on purpose and said, âNope.â
Hearing him say he couldnât play, Eleanor was immediately overjoyed. âThen letâs stick to the original deal. If you win fifty million tonight, it counts.â
Winning fifty million here was a common occurrence, but gambling wasnât just about skill; luck played a huge part, too.
And the man beside her seemed to be a newbie. Even if he were a quick learner, he might not get the hang of it right away. Heâd have to rely on luck.
With that thought in mind, Eleanor eagerly watched Bernard, who was lounging on the couch.
âWhen do we start?â
âRight now.â Seeing her getting antsy, Bernard smiled, lifted his head, and signaled to Fiman, who was clinking glasses with his friends. Fiman instantly put down his glass and moved to the gaming table.
The huge square table was filled with various kinds of chips.
Fiman leaned on the table, looking towards the couch area.
âTonight, the dealer is yours truly.â
As soon as Fiman voiced this, everyone except Bernard started cracking jokes.
âSo, youâre personally dealing because youâre scared weâll clean out your casino?â
As Fiman put on white gloves, he retorted, âWhatâs the matter? Scared to gamble with me? Or just broke?â
âWe lack a lot of things, but money isnât one of them.â
âDa mn straight.â
After a bit of banter, Fiman gathered everyone and took a seat at the table.
He threw a dart at the wall to decide the first roundâs game.
âOne chipâs worth ten.million. Letâs start the betting!â
Fiman tapped his fingers on the table, and the four players began pushing their chips forward.
âTwo bets, ten chips each, totaling two hundred million.â
âThree bets, three hundred million.â
âFour bets, four hundred million.â
rchips After the other three had placed their bets, all eyes were on Bernard, who was lazily sprawled on the white leather couch.

Bernard was twirling a brown cigar between his fingers. He hadnât lit it; he was just gently rolling it.
Everyone was waiting for his bet, but he just kept his eyes on Eleanor.
Seeing this, everyone else rolled their eyes. The woman wasnât going anywhere; why was he so fixated on her?
As the host, Fiman knocked on the table to remind Bernard, âBernard, are you in or out?â
Bernard ignored him and leaned in to whisper to Eleanor, âDarling, fifty million ainât enough to bet. Youâve already lost, havenât you?â Eleanor knew they would place large bets, but she hadnât expected them to be so massive.
One chip was worth ten million? The bets had soared from two hundred millio to four hundred million!
She had thought the maximum would be ten million, but they were throwing around hundreds of millions like it was nothing. She was taken aback, but she knew that the game hadnât started yet and Bernard might not win.

Please give Bernard some bad luck; let him lose this game!
Bernard, meanwhile, lifted his finger and pushed out twenty chips.
The three men at the table, including Fiman, were taken aback. âYouâre saying youâre going all in with two billion in the first round?â
Bernard leaned back on the couch, crossing his legs. He raised an eyebrow at Fiman and said, âItâs you whoâs giving me two billion:
