Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 252

Henry smirked in disdain. "Hey you, don't get cocky."

In this casino, he had always been invincible. No matter how arrogant his opponents were, they all ended up losing to him.

Ambrose chewing gum lazily, rolled his eyes at Henry without the slightest respect, and walked straight toward the gambling table.

Henry's temper flared instantly. His fingers clenched into a fist, cracking audibly. Tonight, he was going to make this brat pay for his arrogance!

Ambrose sat down with his arms crossed and feet propped up on the table, his posture oozing with contempt. "What's the holdup, old man? Scared you'll lose to me?"

Henry's expression darkened with anger. "Just don't start crying when you lose."

Atticus shot a subtle glance at Cecilia, who immediately caught on and stepped forward with a polished smile. "Tonight's game is between Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Yates. Let the match begin."

All eyes turned to her as she spoke.

As one of the most experienced dealers in the casino, Cecilia handled the cards with an effortless elegance, her movements swift and precise.
