He had only asked a few questions, and Ezekiel couldn't help but stand up for Lenora.

Howard secretly thought to himself that Lenora's tactics were indeed sophisticated. If he allowed things to continue in this manner, Ezekiel might truly fall into her trap.

"Isn't it just curiosity?" Howard chuckled, wary of upsetting Ezekiel, so he didn't press further with his questions

He decided to take things one step at a time.

"It's been a while since I had a good game. My hands are itching for some action. Fancy a few rounds?" Cillian gestured toward the card table.

Fearful of creating an awkward atmosphere in the private room, everyone nodded in agreement.

Cillian asked, "Ms. Wilkin, do you know how to play? Would you like to join us?"

They had invited her out of kindness, hoping to make her feel less restrained and more integrated. Lenora appreciated the thought and accepted their invitation. She stood up and walked over to the card table, sitting down before saying. "I've played a few times. I just hope I don't lose too much."

"Ah, don't you know that beginners often have the best luck?" Cillian looked toward Ezekiel. "Ezekiel, are you-"

Howard placed the chips of Ezekiel and Cillian into his drawer, leaving only Lenora's. He pushed it back toward her, a playful smirk on his face as he looked at Lenora. "Ms. Wilkin, there's no need to hand over your chips. Let's treat this as a game of Truth Or Dare. If you lose, you'll have to answer a question of mine. Why did you marry Zachary in the first place?"

With a calm expression, Lenora slid the chips back across the table. "And what if I don't answer?"

A smirk tugged at Howard's lips as he glanced at Ezekiel, undeterred by his intimidating gaze. "Ms. Wilkin, I'm simply curious. There's no harm in your sharing."
