He slapped down another three bucks worth of chips, and Gabriel across the table matched it with a casual flick of his wrist.

Timothy snorted silently, convinced Gabriel was deliberately butting heads with him.

Completely unaware of Gabriel’s true identity, Timothy racked his brain but couldn’t recall any prominent Carnes family in J City. He figured Gabriel was just puffing up his chest, trying to impress Sylvia.

The pot in the middle was nearly overflowing.

Evelyn did a quick tally and estimated the pile was worth tens of thousands. Her heart raced, and she couldn’t help but tug at Timothy’s sleeve. “Let it go, don’t keep raising.”

A smirk of disdain crept onto Timothy’s face. He knew it—Gabriel couldn’t take the heat.

He thought, “Bring it on, keep betting with me!”
