A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 771

Eleanor was giving Elbert the eye, but he didn't give a hoot. He cocked an eyebrow at her, then turned to stride towards the VIP room.

He extended an arm gracefully, gesturing an invitation towards Bernard: "Mr. Laurence, how about a game?"

"Mr. Laurence, don't play with him!"

Fiman, Kenny, Jose, and Jeff popped out from the VIP room, trying to stop Bernard.

"He's the kingpin of the casino here; nobody has ever beat him." Fiman was the first to step forward, positioning Bernard behind him and trying to persuade Elbert to become a casino owner.

"Mr. Pine, you're a regular here, and it's Mr. Laurence's first time. Isn't it a bit bullyish of you to invite him to play?"

Elbert snorted at this.

"Fiman, are you trying to use your status as a casino owner to meddle with our game?"

"That's not what I mean."

"So, what do you mean, then?"

Fiman's expression turned icy.

"Mr. Pine, if you want to play with Mr. Laurence, fine, but let's not gamble; let's change the rules."

Elbert always won at gambling. Even though Bernard had just won a game, compared to Elbert, who was a regular in the casino, he was just small fry.

Everyone knew what kind of guy Elbert was; they couldn't just let Bernard get duped.

Seeing a group of young guys stand up for Bernard, all Elbert could do was sneer.

It was a sight to behold, seeing people actually help a cold guy like Bernard.

Elbert was still somewhat intimidated by Fiman; after all, he still relied on Fiman's family here, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, we'll change the game; I'll win no matter what anyway."

Elbert finished, turned, and gazed towards the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the hallway.

"How about a race?"

Bernard, holding Eleanor's hand, gave Elbert a cold glance.

"Are you sure?"

Racing was Bernard's specialty. He was crowned a top racer when he was only 18.

Elbert suggested a race with him; wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Let's go!"
