Andy almost instinctively looked toward Caleb, but the man's face remained calm as if he had only seen a stranger.Andy thought he had guessed right. So what if Penny had succeeded in climbing into his bed? In their circle, women were just currency. “Yes, I’ve changed my preferences. Nowadays, I think women like Penny are pretty good." As he spoke, he reached out to pinch Penny’s chin, pretending to be intimate with her.Penny grabbed his wrist and raised her head to smile at him. “Young Master Andy, I forgot to tell you that I have a husband, so I’ll pass on keeping you company.”There were so many people at this table, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the one garnering the most attention.It was because Caleb was here, and other than him, there was also Winston. Both were top figures among the scions of Imperial City, and Caleb had always been somewhat of a philanthropist.He did not like gambling but was often dragged along. He was not someone who cared m

It was evident that he was in a good mood at the moment.The atmosphere at the scene became even more subtle. Andy kept losing in this war of words and finally realized that he should not argue with Penny anymore. If the conversation were to continue, the only person he would upset was himself.He took a deep breath and looked at the dealer. “Deal the cards.”The dealer made sure that everyone was ready before distributing the cards.Many people surrounded Penny, waiting to watch the show unfold. However, some of them sympathized with her.Just a moment ago, she said that she would pay back double the amount borrowed without knowing the value of the chips. Did that not mean that she now owed Winston 300 million?Moreover, a novice actually had the guts to join a no-limit betting Texas Hold’em table. Even veterans needed to think carefully before participating in this kind of gambling, which could easily result in financial ruin.Besides, everyone at the table was a scion, and th

Luna almost fainted from this sentence.Her lips trembled again and again, but she could not squeeze out a complete sentence. She looked at Caleb for help.The man was acting calm, casually stroking the surface of the cards with his thumb. It was his turn to bet in this round. Like all the times before, he indifferently threw some of the chips in front of him.It was a bet for three million dollars.Suddenly, this action of his caught the attention of the onlookers, which indirectly saved Luna.Luna breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still lingering with fear. When she noticed that no one was paying attention to her, she shot a vicious glare at Penny.Penny pretended not to see it. She put her fingertips on the two hole cards in front of her, as if she was completely immersed in the game.With Caleb’s three million raise, according to the rules, the chips betted after him must be greater than or equal to this number.The pot was already close to 30 million.The dealer’s fa

“Mister?”Penny called out, looking puzzled.Winston raised his eyes and smiled at her. “Just pay back the original amount.”“Please take it, Mister. In this line of work, we’re very committed to our promises.”A new member of the casino won 300 million in one night, and it was a woman at that. She was probably going to run into trouble before she even left the door.The best way to handle it now was naturally to transfer the trouble in her hands.The original promise she had with Winston became the best reason.Winston’s expression became even more complicated. Why on earth did she reject 150 million?Even if she had a job from Caleb, the design fee she received would probably only be in the millions or so range. She might not be able to earn this much money in her entire life working for someone else.Was she perhaps… trying to impress him as he was Caleb's friend?Winston no longer rejected. He patted Caleb’s shoulder.“As a married man, isn’t it time to go back?”He emp

She truly liked him.　　Caleb did not know how to react for a moment.　　In the past, there had been people who expressed their interest in him, and he had rejected them without hesitation—but the woman in front of him was different.　　They had slept together.　　Although it was not her first time, once there was that kind of intimate relationship between two people, it was hard to treat each other normally once more.　　A woman whom he shared that sort of relationship with was now in the position of an admirer.　　If he treated her like he did other women in the past, it would seem heartless.　　He hesitated for a few seconds before calmly saying, “You know I’m married, right?”　　Penny furrowed her brows. Of course, she knew, but were they not discussing the design issue?　　Caleb saw that she did not understand his hint and paused slightly.　　“In fact, my wife and I are… very loving toward one another.”　　The word 'wife' swirled round and round in his mouth, and he struggled to s
