Chapter 768 Jose glanced at Bernard, giving a thoughtful nod towards the man who oozed charisma.
âHeâs definitely up to something shady.â
Sure enough, Bernardâs hidden card turned out to be an 8!
King, 3, and 8, their total was 21.
He naturally chose not to draw a fourth card.
Seeing his move, Kenny, Jose, and Jeff understood that Bernard had a strong hand.
âThis is a disaster; we canât keep playing!â
âWeâve only played two rounds, and weâre already up the creek without a paddle!â
âWeâve just lost some cash, Fiman.â
Jeff looked at Fiman, sprawled on the poker table like a worn-out dog.
âYouâve even lost your casino; should we keep going?â
If they continued, they could take over Fimanâs place and clean him out!
âI quit; I surrender, okay?â Fiman waved his hands in defeat.
Fiman looked up at Bernard, his face full of distress. âYou really want my casino?â
Without lifting his head, Bernard replied, âJust get me ten billion and transfer it to my account.â
So he didnât want the casino, just the money.
âAlright, weâll transfer it right away.â Fiman jumped up, happily calculating his chips.
The others exchanged glances.
Something didnât feel right. It felt like theyâd be They played Even a more rounds, the?

also decided she wouldnât gamble with Bernard again; his luck was just too good; no one could beat him.
Bernard rushed off to finalize the deal with Eleanor, took a few sips of red wine, and left with her.
As they exited the VIP room with th squad of bodyguards, they bumped into Elbert Pine in another VIP room.
Under the white lights, Elbertâs handsome features hardened as he saw Bernard.

After staring coldly at Bernard for a few seconds, he turned his gaze to Eleanor.
âI always thought you were a good girl; I couldnât believe youâd come to a place like this.â
Bernard was taken aback, looking at Eleanor. Did she already know about her heritage?
Eleanor, who didnât notice Bernardâs gaze, retorted, âCanât a good girl come here?â
Elbert walked up to her, boldly bending down to look at her. âGood girls stay home. They donât come to places like this.â
Good girls...
Bernard realized what was happening. This little punk, Elbert, was hitting on his wife.
He wrapped his arm around Eleanorâs waist, pulling her away from Elbert, and coldly said, âBack off.â
Eleanor looked up at Bernard, noticing his frosty expression. He didnât seem to like Elbert near her.
However, she found Elbert strangely familiar-a comforting presence, like family.
But Bernard had told her that the Laurence and Pine families had deep-seated feuds, so as Mrs. Laurence, she had to keep her distance from Elbert, no matter how familiar he felt.
Elbertâs intense gaze moved from Eleanor to the hand that was holding her waist.
Bernardâs affection for Eleanor showed how important she was to him.
Very important. Interesting.
Elbert straightened up, hands in his pockets, and took two steps back, making way.
Without even sparing him a glance, Bernard, arm in arm with Eleanor, walked off with his bodyguards.

âMr. Laurence, letâs have a bet. If you lose, your wife has to give me a kiss.â
