Alice couldn't find the right words to answer.

Mrs. Reyes's gaze locked on her, and Alicia clenched her jaw, feeling uncomfortable. She shot a piercing glance at Caden. "It wasn't on purpose. I'm sorry."

Caden replied, “Oh, I assumed you were asking me for a card.”

Once again, Alice was speechless.

Mrs. Reyes let out a soft laugh. “Miss Bennett, are you losing control?”

Feeling an unexpected surge of boldness, Alice replied, “I’ve been sitting here so long that my legs cramped up. That's why I accidentally hit Mr. Ward. But watch out, Mrs. Reyes, you could be next.”

Mrs. Reyes' expression darkened. "Good sportsmanship is important when playing. Even if it's just for fun, you have to understand the rules and not resort to underhand tactics."

Caden chuckled. “I have to ask, who came up with the rules for this table?”

Mrs. Reyes replied: "Nobody created them; they have been in place for generations."

“I swear it was you, Mrs. Reyes,” Caden said.

Mrs. Reyes' heart skipped a beat as her gaze turned to him. Was there something else behind those words? Did he suspect something?

The weight of the moment pressed down on her, sapping her usual confidence. An ally had already slipped away.

After losing all her chips in record time, Alice began to play recklessly, her aggressive moves becoming more and more intense. Although Mrs. Reyes remained ahead, her victories were becoming less and less certain.
