Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Chapter 624

Alice gave a shy smile and sat down in the seat Chris had just vacated. Emmett, holding a plate of freshly cut fruit, sat beside her. Seeing Alice's eager expression, he smiled gently and said, "This is poker. You can bet any amount you want." Alice, not sure if she fully understood, nodded obediently. "Gott, Emmett. This is poker. I know how to play," she said.

Hearing that, none of the others took it seriously. Alice was an adult; it wouldn't be surprising if she had seen poker before. But as for her claim of knowing how to play? That wasn't particularly credible.

Frankie glanced mischievously at Emmett, who was sitting next to Alice. He said, "Hey, if Alice plays, you can't give her any tips. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun."

Frankie's intention of messing with Emmett was evident.

Emmett raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, "All right, Alice will play by herself."

After Emmett said that, he pulled a check from his pocket, wrote 3.3 million dollars on it, and placed it on the table.

Frankie, Sienna, and Bruce glanced at the figure on the check. Emmett was truly spending a fortune for the sake of a girl. The problem was that this 3.3 million dollars was bound to be lost. It was clearly nothing but an attempt to make Alice happy. Alice didn't understand why the other players at the poker table were so excited.

An hour later, Alice looked at her cards, sniffled, and then glanced again at the joker card in her hand. After some thought, she called. The other three players' gazes locked onto her.

The moment she called, Frankie eagerly revealed his cards, shouting, "Four of a Kind. I finally won!"

Sienna and Bruce exchanged glances. They looked at their chips, which had dwindled from an initial 1 million dollars each to a combined total of only 30 thousand dollars. That barely covered Frankie's winning hand, leaving them completely cleaned out. Frankie gathered their chips and counted his remaining ones, which totaled only 150 thousand dollars. All three then looked in unison at the thick stack of chips in front of Alice, their mouths twitching.
