Summer was grinning when she asked again, "Who's got the Ace of Hearts?"

Stephen's demeanor had turned extremely frigid while Marissa pursed her lips and revealed her card.

Tessa let out a mocking laugh suddenly. She pinned Summer with an icy gaze and said, "Ms. Heatherson, you sure make great choices."

"It looks to me that Ms. Heatherson doesn't feel a shred of remorse," Tessa said, not even bothering to temper her icy expression.

"Why are you apologizing to her, Marissa?" Summer asked. "We didn't do anything wrong. It's just a game, isn't it? Everyone else is playing along, so why does she have to be the exception?"

Marissa's face darkened. She felt like she was caught between a rock and a hard place.
