"I win!" Linda yelled excitedly as she pushed all of her tiles down suddenly! "I have fifty-eight thousand, all i n one suit, a Concealed Hand, and a Concealed Kong! This is a multiplier of forty-eight, and that means I win four hundred and eighty thousand dollars! Sorry, Sister Elaine!" 1
Elaine felt as though she had just fallen into an ice cellar! 4
Four hundred and eighty thousand dollars just because she discarded one tile?
She had just won three hundred thousand dollars after such a long time, and she was already giving up all of her winnings just like that. She even had to top u p another one hundred over thousand dollars to make up for the losses... 1
That was more than a hundred thousand dollars!
Elaine felt very uncomfortable, and she felt as though she was breaking apart mentally.
Hannah hurriedly persuaded her, "Oh! Elaine, it cannot be possible for you to win every game anyway! You have already won so many games. It does not matter if you lose one game. You will get back all of your losses almost right away!"
Linda also smiled as she said, "Yes, it is just one round anyway. We are going to play many more rounds
today!"
Elaine felt a little more comforted and assured at this time. However, she was suffocating in her heart, and she really wanted to win back all the money that she had lost! 6
After using her internet banking to transfer four hundred and eighty thousand dollars to Linda, they continued with their next game.
However, Elaine got very bad tiles for her next game.
She was in shock when she turned her tiles over! How could she possibly have such a bad hand?!
She was either missing a tile or having a broken combination. She did not even have a pair at all! 3
If she had tiles like this, she would need to draw at least seven or eight tiles for her to win...
She was on the verge of collapse!
How could she possibly turn this around?
Elaine felt that she would not even be able to win even after everyone had already made up two sets of tiles!
Moreover, it seemed as though the other three people o n the table had very good hands as they were all very happy and excited at this point. 4
Hannah was the first to draw her tile.
