Chapter 52
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 52
Mrs. Chapman said modestly, “All three of us won. I was just in luck.”
“Three won, so who lost?” asked Keegan.
Everyone fell silent and unanimously turned to look at Stella, who had tears in her eyes.
Stella was quiet.
“How much did you lose?” he asked.
Stella bit her lip and said in a low voice, “460 thousand dollars…”
Keegan lifted his head. “Did you play with your eyes close?”
Stella glared at him through her tears.
‘It’s not his money that I lost. Who gave him the right to ridicule me?!‘ she thought.
Mrs. White said, “She’s young. She still lacks experience.”
Keegan glanced at Stella and said indifferently, “It doesn’t have much to do with experience. She hardly wins in any table games.”
His words implied that Stella was purely stupid.
Stella was speechless.
That bastard, Keegan, is always up to no good! He’s always finding ways to humiliate me whenever there’s a chance!‘ she thought.
Keegan grabbed the teapot and filled up the cups. Then, he said coolly, “It’s a rare occasion for us to have guests over. I ordered some dishes from The Deli. The food will be delivered later. Since it’s still early, would you ladies like to play a few more rounds?”
Mrs. Chapman was a little hesitant.
After all, she had already pocketed 300 thousand dollars, so she would profit if she left now.
Meanwhile, Mrs. White immediately agreed, “Alright. I’m feeling lucky today, so I really don’t feel like ending the game this early.”
After hearing Mrs. White’s words, Mrs. Chapman did not know how to reject Keegan.
However, Dahlia glanced at Keegan. “I thought you didn’t like this game?” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Keegan looked up. “I won’t be playing. You four can continue while I watch.”
Stella was speechless again.
‘Is he going to watch me lose? I knew he had bad intentions!‘ she thought.
Keegan pulled a chair and sat down beside her. Then, he gracefully crossed his legs and said coolly, “Play to your heart’s content. If you win, the money’s yours; if you lose, I’ll pay.”
Stella glanced at him dubiously.
‘Is this man that kind?‘ she wondered.
Before Stella could give it more thought, the chips were redistributed, and a new game started.
However, Stella was still not in luck. None of the tiles she got were repeating, but she got one of each of
the four Winds: East, South, West, and North.
She drew an East tile. Just as she was about to lay down the tile, Keegan said into her ear in a low voice,”
2 of Bamboo.”
‘I have 1 of Bamboo and 2 of Bamboo. If I draw another 3 of Bamboo, I’ll have a three–in–a–row. It’s not wise to discard 2 of Bamboo, right?‘ she thought.
Stella was indecisive.
Mrs. Chapman felt a little impatient as she waited. “Hurry up, Stella. Discard a tile.”
Stella bit the bullet and discarded a 2 of Bamboo tile.
‘After all, he said he’ll pay if I lose. Whatever!‘ she thought.
“Three–of–a–kind”
Mrs. White picked up the tile and smiled, “I dealt a good hand on the first turn. It looks like I’ve got pretty good luck this round.
Then, she discarded a North tile.
Stella lowered her head and glanced at her tiles.
‘I have three North tiles. Should I go for four–of–a-kind?‘ she wondered.
She turned to look at Keegan. However, he took a sip of his tea and coolly said, “Why are you looking at me? Draw a tile.”
