Hannah already knew that Zeke was the one who had given Charlie the villa at Thompson First. 4
Therefore, she knew that she would have to push Elaine to the limit if she wanted to win the villa at Thompson First over from Elaine. 1
Hannah knew that Charlie would not sit back and watch idly if Elaine did something so unreasonable. 1
At that time, she would finally have the opportunity to take over the villa.
Therefore, Hannah told Elaine, "You have already lost s o much money. I think that it will be very difficult for you to win back all your money if we continue betting only ten thousand dollars. Why don't we raise the bet instead? How about fifty thousand dollars? Anyway, you have enough money to cover your losses with the villa, but if you win, you can easily win back all your money in just two games!" 2
Elaine had already lost all of her reasoning at this point, and she simply wanted to win all of her money back. Upon hearing this, Elaine immediately nodded i n agreement as she blurted out, "Alright, then! Let's bet fifty thousand dollars instead!" 3
Linda said, "But you don't have the house deed for the villa, right?"
Elaine replied, "It does not matter at all. The villa
belongs to my son-in-law, and anything that my son-in -law owns belongs to me!" 5
Linda shook her head as she said, "I think there is no way I can give you money for a mortgage without the house deed. It is simply too risky for me."
After that, Linda stretched out five fingers as she said, "Well, why don't you sign an agreement stating that you will mortgage the villa to me instead? I can lend you fifty million in total. I will give five million dollars to you first, and I will transfer another five million to you each time you lose it all." 2
Elaine nodded before she said, "Alright then, I will mortgage the villa to you for fifty million dollars! Fifty million dollars should be more than enough for me to win my money back!" 2
Linda smiled slightly before she said, "Okay, then! We can continue playing after we sign the agreement." 1
