Chapter 37
Rebecca soon returned to the room.
Before she even saw Sonia’s cards,
Rebecca could already guess what had transpired just by the ‘gentle’ smile on Tina’s face. Sonia must have suffered a
harsh defeat when I was away.
Rebecca went to sit next to Sonia and shot
a glance at the cards in Sonia’s hands.
Again, they were not quite useful. Then,
she asked in a low voice, “President Reed,
the woman opposite of you is not any
other woman. She’s your ex-husband’s
lover. Are you really going to be defeated
by her like this?”
“No worries. I just have to win three rounds
out of five.” Sonia smiled. Since she sai down to play poker with them, she looked
as peaceful as ever.
While she replied to Rebecca, she played
yet another card.
“Game.” Tina placed her card down with a
brighter smile on her face,
Rebecca was speechless to hear that.
“President Reed, you have already lost two
rounds to Tina. I think there’s no need to
continue,” Tina’s friend said pompously.
“Tina is not a petty person. As long as you
apologize to her, we will hire the best
tattoo artist to remove the tattoo from
your body.”
Tina raised her head slightly as she looked at Sonia. It looked as though she was waiting for Sonia to concede defeat. “Would you like to continue, Miss Reed?”
she asked in a gentle yet peaceful tone.
“Of course.” Sonia shuffled the cards again without a change in her expression. “We said that we could play five rounds.”
Tina’s friend rolled her eyes at Sonia and she rudely spoke, “We are giving you an
opportunity, yet you are not treasuring it
