Dear Sweetheart Chapter 98 Honor Your Bets
The smile on Meredith’s face froze when she heard that.
“I thought you were blacklisted by the entertainment industry. How are you able to afford to come to a place like this?” Kristie asked. She then glanced at the people at the table and continued with a sneer, “Oh, I see… You’ve been working out to stay in shape, huh?”
The corner of Gavin’s lips twitched as he understood what she was implying.
He would not have forgiven anyone else that easily. However, he could not afford to offend her because she was Curtis’ woman.
“You don’t want me to play because you three were ganging up on her, right? I bet that’s the reason she’s been losing all her games tonight!” Kristie stated.
“What are you saying, Ms. Winton? We wouldn’t dare do such a thing! Ms. Garland just happens to be bad at playing cards, that’s all! Besides, she was the one who proposed the bet! If you don’t believe me, then ask her yourself!” Simon protested with a smile.
Rayna chugged a glass of wine and said, “Yeah, that’s right! I proposed the bet!”
“I’ve never seen anyone as stupid as you are! Go ahead, then! Play with them and lose everything you’ve got!” Kristie scolded her with a look of disdain on her face.
Unbeknownst to her, Curtis had made his way over.
Surprised that Curtis would show up, Gavin and the others quickly greeted him, “Greetings, Mr. Faymon!”
Rayna, who had her back facing him at the time, tensed up and instinctively lowered her gaze.
Oh, my goodness! Why is he here? This is so awkward!
As Curtis nodded and glanced at the table, his gaze instantly fell upon Rayna, who was trying her best to hide from him.
Kristie grabbed Curtis by the arm and exclaimed in frustration, “This woman has to be the dumbest one I’ve ever seen! She keeps on playing with them even though she has been losing all night! As if that wasn’t bad enough, she even went as far as wagering herself!”

Rayna simply kept her head low and remained silent.
Curtis ignored Kristie’s rant and glanced at Rayna’s bet on the table. If that business trip to Tyrandas has taught me anything, it’s that Rayna isn’t the kind of person who would do something so stupid!
With that in mind, he flashed them a smile and said, “Carry on, then. Finish the game.”
With that, the card game continued.
The atmosphere at the table was somewhat tense with Curtis around. Gavin and Simon were so afraid of him that they didn’t dare ogle Rayna anymore.
The people standing behind Meredith began gossiping among each other when they saw that the game was almost over. Meredith was grinning from ear to ear as she watched on.
Rayna, on the other hand, had a stressful frown on her face. As she kept her cards covered, no one could tell what her hand was.
“It’s your turn, Ms. Garland,” Meredith said with her chin held high.
Rayna took a deep breath as she nervously rubbed her cards together.
A few seconds later, however, the look on her face changed completely. She then shot Meredith an icy-cold glare that sent shivers down the latter’s spine.
“Sorry, but it looks like I won this round,” Rayna said while tossing her cards onto the table.
Everyone in the crowd gasped in shock.
Kristie got so excited that she jumped up and down as she screamed, “What? A royal flush? Oh, my goodness! You sure are a lucky one, you vixen!”
Curtis gave her a warning look, prompting her to cover her mouth and keep quiet.
Meredith leaped to her feet and exclaimed in shock and disbelief, “H-How is this possible? You suck at playing cards! How could you win?”
“I guess I finally lucked out after losing all my games tonight,” Rayna replied with a faint smile.
The look on Gavin’s face was as cold as ice.
I only bet such a huge amount because Meredith told me that Rayna was sure to lose! I can’t believe she won!
Simon was starting to panic as well. “That was a very impressive hand, Ms. Garland! Since we’ve all had a great time, how about we call it quits and go home now?”
He then reached out to grab the document on the table, but Curtis was faster.
“Oh, I don’t think so, Mr. Smith,” he said while placing his hand on the document. Curtis then positioned himself behind Rayna to show everyone she was under his protection.
“Ms. Garland has lost all of her games and ended up wagering herself as a result. I’m sure you and Mr. Gibson wouldn’t be happy if she tried to walk out on her bet after losing! Come now, don’t be such a sore loser. It’s time to honor your bets.”
His tone was gentle, and yet, it managed to intimidate everyone at the scene.
“Yeah! You can’t just take the document away after losing the bet! That’s not fair! She’s an employee at Faymon Group! How dare you guys disrespect Mr. Faymon like this?” Kristie exclaimed.
Simon was sweating profusely as he said with a forced smile, “What are you saying, Ms. Winton? We wouldn’t dare disrespect Mr. Faymon! We were just… We…”
He tried desperately to come up with an excuse, but he couldn’t think of anything.
