Chapter 165
Charles smiled. “You’re going to lose!”
He had a two and a five, forming three of a kind plus a pair! He refused to believe that Audrey could
have a better hand!
Charles revealed his cards, and applause erupted from the crowd.
“What a great hand!”
“There couldn’t possibly be a better hand than this one!”
“Mr. Murray’s luck is really something!”
Listening to the discussions around him, Charles couldn’t help but give Lucy’s cheek another kiss.
Someone from the crowd yelled, “The winner has not been decided yet!”
Audrey then turned over her cards.
A six and an eight, forming a straight plus a pair. It was the highest–ranking combination possible
with these cards.
Charles suddenly stood up, staring wide–eyed at Audrey. His cards were so good; how could Audrey have a six and an eight?
“Wow! This is the best possible hand with these cards!”
“What luck! To get the highest–ranking hand! Unbelievable!”
The crowd marveled at Audrey’s luck.

“Accept defeat, Mr. Murray.” Audrey signaled for the dealer to collect her chips.
“Wait a moment!” Charles pressed his hands on the table and said, “Let’s have another round!”
Audrey chuckled lightly. “But Mr. Murray doesn’t have any chips left.‘
“I’ll wager myself!” Charles slammed his fists on the table.
“Don’t joke around, Mr. Murray. I’m not interested in you.” Audrey chuckled.
Gritting his teeth, Charles suddenly thought of Shawn.
He straightened up abruptly. “Wait for me, I’ll be right back!”
“I have over five million in chips right now. Is Mr. Murray still willing to bet with me?”
“Of course!”
“How long do you need?” Audrey toyed with her chips, smiling.

on Ms. Yeomans!”
Lucy nodded. “Alright, you can count on me!”
Charles rushed to Shawn’s office.
“Shawn, I need to borrow money! Quickly, lend me five million!”
Shawn smiled and took out several loan documents from his desk drawer.

“Mr. Murray, take a look. You haven’t repaid the money you borrowed before. With the interest and principal combined, it’s already over eight million.
“You haven’t repaid anything yet, and now you want to borrow another five million?”
Charles urged “I can repay the entire amount–principal and interest–to you tonight! Please give me the money quickly!”
“Mr. Murray has always been lucky, so of course I believe in you.” Shawn smiled as he toyed with the
walnuts in his hand.
“But you see, my belief isn’t enough. The company has regulations, and I’m just an employee working for the boss.” He tossed a walnut into the air, skillfully catching it with his other hand.
“Tell me! What do I need to do to borrow five million from you tonight?”
Charles was anxious as time was running out. “Do I need to double the interest, or are there any other conditions? Just name it! I’ll agree to anything!”
