How were they gonna get through the next few days?
Their complaints reached Chloe's ears, making her chuckle and shake her head. These two were a truly in-sync duo. They didn't even need to break the ice.
Rhys glanced over at Damon, who didn't object, and confidently took a couple of steps forward. "So, what're we betting on?"
Chloe laughed and glanced at the table in front of her. "Let's play this."
There was a bit of a ruckus in the crowd. What Chloe was pointing at was the simplest dice game.
"This is all just blind guessing! It's pure luck whether you win or lose. Be careful."
Chloe pursed her lips. "Which one here isn't a wild guess? No worries, this is the fastest way to win money!"
People were like, "Where on earth did you get the confidence to think you'd definitely win?"
Chloe had a gleam in her eye and a smile on her face. "'Cause I wanna win."
Everyone was speechless. There was no point in arguing with this woman.
Chloe lifted a black cover, revealing three dice. "Is this the guessing game?"
Rhys confirmed, "Yes."
Kane and Nathan were propping each other up, trying not to get freaked out by Chloe. She didn't even know the rules. How was she supposed to win?
Forget about reading Damon's expression, they didn't even dare to look at the back of his head.
‘Chloe, we get it, you're messing around! Please check on your husband!’
Everyone was pretty speechless, treating this as a ridiculous farce. Although there was nothing worth watching, the stakes were so high, it'd be a shame not to watch.
Chloe nodded. "So, there's no upper limit to the bets, right? Let's start with two million."
Looked like she really believed she was gonna win! If she lost, she would just lose herself. If she won, the more money, the better. That would show off her intelligence.
Rhys chuckled, "Ms. Summers, your schemes are all written on your face."
Chloe raised an eyebrow. "You're pretty sharp."
Rhys laughed, looking every bit the gentleman in his pristine suit. "But it doesn't matter, whether it's two million or twenty million, it's all the same to me."
A woman who didn’t know the rules was just here to give away money, right? Although this dice game mainly relied on luck, there were some tricks to it. How could a total newbie possibly beat him?
To be honest, every gambler thought they were going to be the winner before they hit the table. Chloe was no exception, and neither was Rhys.
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Rhys leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs, and signaled to the dealer to start rolling the dice. Everyone watched as the dealer rolled the dice, placed them in the middle of the table, and then turned to Chloe and Rhys. “Feel free to place your bets, a minimum of two million."
Chloe looked up at Rhys, clearly confused. Rhys felt a pang of guilt, was it fair to gamble with a woman who didn't understand anything?
Chloe didn't even know how to place a bet, so he kindly placed two million chips on "big." "Two million on big."
Chloe blinked, picked up two million in chips, and placed them on "small."
When the cover was lifted, five-five-six, big. Rhys won.
"Ha, knew it."
"Now she's down another two million."
