Sharon soon returned to the private room.
Before she could go to Sydney to see her cards, she saw the 'gentle' smile on the corners of Lyra's smile and already guessed it in her heart.
Sydney probably lost very badly during the time she was out.
Sharon sat next to Sydney and glanced at her cards. Sure enough, they were horrible. She lowered her voice and said, "Ms. Raines, you're up against none other than your ex-husband’s first love. Are you really going to let her slap you in the face like that?"
"There's no rush. We're playing best of three games out of five," Sydney said. Her face was as calm as ever since she entered the room to play cards.
She threw out another card while responding to Sharon.
"Game." Lyra showed her hand, and the smile on her lips became even more obvious.
Sharon was speechless.
“Sydney, you already lost two rounds to Lyra. I don't think there's any need to continue.” The lady beside Lyra huffed arrogantly. "Lyra isn't a petty person. If you apologize to her, we'll get the best tattoo artist to help you remove that tattoo."
Lyra raised her head slightly and looked at Sydney as if waiting for her to bow and throw in the towel. Her voice was gentle and calm.
"Ms. Raines, do you still want to continue?"
"Of course." Sydney arranged the cards again without any change in her expression. "We agreed on the best three out of five."
The lady beside Lyra rolled her eyes at Sydney and snapped. "We give you a chance to throw in the towel, yet you insist on jumping in front of the muzzle! Lyra's skills are the best. You won’t win against her even if you try your entire life!"
"Oh? If she’s so amazing, why didn't she win consecutively?" Sharon interjected.
The lady gave Sharon a fierce glare.
"Alright," Lyra spoke up to stop them and looked at Sydney with a bit of smugness in her eyes. "Since Ms. Raines wants to play, I'll definitely accompany her."
A new game soon started.
When Sharon saw that Sydney was dealt a pretty good hand this time, her eyes lit up.
She approached Sydney, wanting to teach her.
However, the lady saw and stood up from her chair, pointing at Sharon. "Hey, are you trying to teach Sydney how to play? We're changing seats!"
She marched over and forcefully pulled Sharon up before sitting down in Sharon’s seat.
Sharon looked at her and said with fake innocence, "I thought the word ‘flatterer’ was invented for men and women who couldn’t get true love. But now, it seems that word is quite applicable to you."
The lady wanted to tear Sharon apart. However, she was afraid of disturbing Lyra and the others when she considered that they were still playing cards. As such, she could only scoff and ignore Sharon.
With that, Sharon went to sit beside Lyra.
When she saw Lyra’s cards, she knew that Lyra was skilled at playing cards, and her luck was very good as well. Sharon sighed deeply in her heart.
It seemed like Sydney was really going to lose miserably in the hands of her ex-husband's unforgettable first love.
Since the room was full of women, no one was idle when they played. They chattered and talked as they ate.
Lyra's friend was Kate Morgan. To her left was Sydney, and to her right was Macy Graham.
Kate did not only look at the cards but also peeled an orange and handed it to Macy ingratiatingly. "Macy, how long will you be staying in Port City this time? Are you staying for the New Year's?"
