Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Squatting

These people drink wine as if it were water. In no time, they had finished five glasses of wine, leaving Blanche astonished.

"The timer starts. Five minutes, it's time for you to squat."

After putting down the last empty glass, Louis glanced at the time on his wrist and stared at Blanche.

Blanche was momentarily stunned. She knew very well that Louis insisted on drinking even though it was a tie just to make her squat.

She had to accept the consequences of her bet. Since Louis had already drunk, Blanche spontaneously squatted down.

As soon as she squatted down, she instantly became much shorter, like a servant girl, and her aura weakened.

Blanche caught sight of several girls covering their mouths and trying to hide their laughter. Undoubtedly, they were making fun of her. Blanche avoided their gazes, took a deep breath, and raised her head high. She determined not to lose her spirit though she was squatting.

Nicky called for the next round.

"One." Nicky felt that he was too unlucky, and he felt a pain in his chest due to anger.

"Five." Daniel smiled.

"Three."

It was Blanche's turn again. She knew she had to seize this opportunity to stand up. She couldn't afford another tie. She had to roll the dice and get the highest number, a six.

After calming herself down, Blanche picked up the dice cup, held her breath, and shook it. Then she opened it.

"Six," Nicky exclaimed.

Blanche also breathed a sigh of relief. This was already the highest number. She didn't believe that Louis could shake the dice cup twice and still get a six.

Although she felt much relieved, Blanche held her breath when Louis took the dice cup. Her legs were starting to go numb, and squatting was really uncomfortable.

Louis remained calm and gently shook the dice cup a few times before placing it on the table.

Before revealing the result, Louis deliberately glanced at Blanche. She was focused and curious about the number, as it concerned her dignity.

The dice cup was slowly uncovered.

"It's also six."

Everyone claimed.

Blanche was speechless. Pressing her forehead, she watched as they effortlessly drank five glasses of wine.

Rubbing her sore and numb heels with one hand, Blanche felt the numbness spread from her feet to her stomach.

They played another round, and history repeated itself. This time, Blanche got a five, and Louis also got a five, resulting in another tie.

They continued to drink calmly. Blanche accumulated another five minutes for herself. Every time the five minutes were up, a new round began.

Blanche was in agony. She touched her forehead and felt a layer of sweat on it. Her soles felt like there were beans jumping around.
