Forbidden Passion

Chapter 340 Playing for Thrills

The dealer handed out a hole card and a face-up card to each player. Phoebe noticed Theodore's face-up card was a 3 of Spades and got a bit worried.

The masked man's face-up card was a King of Hearts, surprising everyone. He had the upper hand. Theodore grinned and said, "Let's go big. Everyone can call." With his billion-dollar fortune, Theodore was playing extravagantly. Phoebe regretted not knocking him out and dragging him away earlier.

Some onlookers bet on the masked man, while few bet on Theodore. The dealer kept dealing.

Theodore's next card was a 5 of Spades, while the masked man got a Queen of Hearts, giving him a better hand. The dealer dealt with the masked man first. The crowd went wild, all betting on the masked man.

The dealer continued. Theodore's next card was a 2 of Spades, while the masked man got a Jack of Hearts, causing more gasps.

Phoebe's palms were sweaty. She had just learned the rules today, and Theodore's cards didn't look good.

The masked man's next card was a 10 of Hearts, making his face-up cards King, Queen, Jack, and 10 of Hearts. If his hole card were a 9 of Hearts, he'd win. Theodore's face-up cards were 2, 3, 4, and 5 of Spades. If his hole card was a 6 or Ace of Spades, he'd narrowly beat the masked man.

The dealer stopped and signaled to reveal the hole cards.

The crowd held their breath. Phoebe was so nervous that she silently chanted for a 6 of Spades.

Theodore calmly beckoned her. "Darling, give me a kiss."

Before she could refuse, Theodore pulled her into his lap.

No one noticed the masked man's eyes dimming.

Theodore gave Phoebe a loud kiss on the cheek, making everyone laugh. Phoebe wiped her face and said sternly, "We're about to lose!"
