Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 44

Clearly, he was on cloud nine right now.

The atmosphere got increasingly awkward on the spot. Kurt kept getting knocked back and finally decided to stop arguing with Maja. It was just getting him more irked.

He sucked in a deep breath and told the dealer, "Deal the cards."

The dealer pulled out the deck after making sure everyone was ready.

The crowd around Maja was packed; many were there for a spectacle. But quite a few felt sorry for her.

She had just promised to double the payback without knowing the value of the chips. Didn’t that mean she would owe Tyler two billion later?

Plus, as a newbie, she dared to join a no-limit Texas Hold’em game, a game that could leave you broke, something even seasoned players treated with caution.

Not to mention, the table was full of top-tier rich folks who had never seen Maja before.

Maja sat up straight. The two on her right had placed their bets at one million and two million, respectively.

Then it was her turn to speak.

She glanced at her two-hole cards, thought for a moment, then decided to fold.

Everyone thought it was a hoot when they saw her do this.

Dana, sitting not too far away, couldn’t help but speak up, not mincing her words.

"If you don’t know how to play, don’t hog the spot. No one's got time to watch you make a fool of yourself."

Maja arched an eyebrow, asking the dealer, "Am I not allowed to fold?"

The dealer looked a bit embarrassed, "You can."

But she decided to fold even before a community card was dealt. It seemed as if she was too scared to lose money.

If that's the case, why would she take the seat?

Those who join a no-limit Texas Hold'em game are rich. If you don't have the chops, don't pretend to be a bigshot.

The crowd was noisy and filled with jeers.

The spectators were getting a bit antsy, but Maja didn't even bat an eye.

She placed a bet in the second round and lost a million.
