"I..." Rhys was speechless as despair painted across his face.
Kingsley was right. He had nothing else he could use to bet on with
Kingsley anymore.
He had lost the casino, so now, what else could he bet on?
Paige shifted her gaze and whispered to Kingsley as she noticed Rhys’ distraught look, "Did you plan this? Was that why you asked me to wait for the next round?"
Kingsley chuckled upon hearing her questions. "Of course! You thought I was one of those dumb and rash playboys?"
Paige's face turned red at that comment as her eyes unknowingly filled with admiration for Kingsley.
"You're so amazing," she cupped her cheeks and said dreamily. "How did you do that?"
The corners of Kingsley's lips curved up at her question. "It's a secret."
"A secret..." Paige echoed.
Just when she was about to ask more questions, she heard a voice coming from above the stairs. "Where's Sienna? I'm waiting for her to roll the dice."
At the sudden interruption, all heads turned to see a man in a smartlooking suit slowly walking down the stairs with his hands behind his back. He was only in his early 30s but had the aura of a master.
It was none other than Nathan Kearney, the beloved pupil of Solaris Province's underground gamble master.
"Mr. Kearney!" Rhys’ eyes brightened up at the sight of him.
As if he had found his savior, Rhys scrambled over to Nathan and cried, "Mr. Kearney! You have to help me! Only you can save me now."
Nathan frowned when he heard that.
"Are you alright, Mr. Glen? What happened?"
Rhys pointed at Kingsley with a pale face and glowered. "He tricked me!"
Rhys had overheard Kingsley and Paige's conversation, so he now knew that it was Kingsley who lured him step by step into that devious trap. "This punk is from the Nicholson family. He has unusual gambling techniques that he used to create a trap and tricked me!" he snarled through gritted teeth.
