A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3281

“Is there anyone else who would like to place your bets?”

“Nope, just reveal the cards.”

Herman was unable to conceal his delight when he heard that. He stood up immediately and turned his cards over with an ecstatic expression on his face.

“24 points. All four million belongs to me now!”

Everyone in the crowd could not help but glance at Herman's cards which were laid out in front of him. However, the looks of envy on their faces turned into looks of confusion just a second later.

“Is this man crazy?”

“I didn't know mentally-ill people are also allowed into the casino.”

Hushed tones of discussion traveled to Megan and Herman's ears and both of them had different expressions on their faces. The sum of the cards on the table made up to only 14 points, and not the 24 points Herman thought he had.

Unable to believe his eyes, Herman slumped into the chair in shock. As if he had a sudden thought, his face suddenly lit up.

Pointing at the dealer and the casino staff, the man started yelling hysterically, “You guys must have cheated! Otherwise, why would my cards be gone? I'm sure I had 24 points. Give me my four million!”

It felt horrible to believe that something was yours only to see it slip away for a reason that did not make sense. Ignoring the casino's bouncers who were slowly approaching him, Herman started throwing a fit.

Observing the situation, Megan knew that it spelled trouble for her too if the casino were to pursue the matter, as she had been seen together with Herman all the while. If that happened, the casino might take legal action against both of them.

In order to protect herself, Megan no longer wanted to witness the commotion and left quietly by the casino's backdoor while no one was watching.

Shortly after, Megan got into a cab and hurried back to the hotel.

She was finally able to heave a sigh of relief after she reached her hotel room and plopped herself onto the soft bed. She only felt a little better after thinking about what was going to happen to Herman next.

The man would be faced with huge debts in addition to potential physical harm by both the loan sharks, who were likely part of the underworld, as well as the casino.
