Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 20 If You Can't Accept Losing, Don't Play

The more excited Vivian got, the more mixed my feelings became. I didn't want Arthur to lose it, but I also hoped Ethan would win since I bet all my savings on this table.

Casinos were like battlefields; there were winners and losers. I suddenly realized coming here was a mistake.

I hadn't even flipped my cards when Arthur lost it. He slapped his cards down, and the crowd gasped, "Nine, what luck."

"Shit," Bella muttered. She knew her chances were slim and leaned back, waiting for the game to end.

"Why's he so damn lucky?" Oliver grumbled.

I didn't have the guts to turn over my cards.

"Flip them," Ethan said calmly, patting my shoulder.

I turned over the first card and wanted to cry. Even though I didn't play much, I knew 3 was the lowest.

"Keep going," Ethan said, still calm.

The second card was another 3, and I felt even worse.
