Charles kept looking over his shoulder to see if Lucy had returned.
When he refocused on the game, he saw Audrey sitting across from him at the gambling table.
Charles was briefly taken aback but soon flashed a smile. “Hey, if it isn’t Audrey! Long time no see.‘
Audrey smiled faintly, playing with her chips. “It has been a while, Mr. Murray. Would you like to gamble a few rounds with me?”
“Who is this pretty girl? Why have | never seen her before?” Lucy came back and sat beside Charles with a smile, nudging him playfully.
She then looked at Audrey, smirking. “Is this your way of getting Mr. Murray’s attention?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Yeah, Audrey, are you trying to get my attention?” Charles hugged Lucy, laughing. “You’ve grown quite sensible over the years. If you had been like this earlier, that little mute wouldn’t have gone through so much, don’t you think?”
Audrey didn’t seem bothered. She continued smiling as she said, “| came here today to make sure you lose everything.”
Lucy laughed. “Are you kidding? Everyone in this casino knows that Mr. Murray has the best luck. As long as he sits at this table, he won't lose.”
“Is that so? Then, Mr. Murray, are you going to gamble?”
“Ms. Yeomans came here personally, so why wouldn’t | gamble with her?” Charles kissed Lucy on the cheek. “Let’s do it!”
The dealer began to deal the cards.
Audrey looked at her hand, tapped lightly, and then looked at Charles. The man was smiling broadly as he arranged his cards. She chose to fold.
They played nine rounds, during which Audrey consistently lost-to Charles‘ evident delight.
Seeing Audrey’s displeasure, Charles became even more excited. “Didn’t you say you wanted me to lose everything?” Audrey let out a cold laugh, her expression darkening as she looked at Charles. “How about we make this more interesting?” Charles chuckled at Lucy. “Look, someone's in a hurry!”
“Let's go all in; winner takes all. How about that?” Audrey's eyes gleamed.
While Charles hesitated, Lucy smiled and caressed his chest. “Why would Mr. Murray be afraid of you? Have you ever won against him once? Stop talking big here, | advise you to take your remaining

chips and leave, so you won't lose everything!”
Charles laughed. “Exactly, and you don’t even have as many chips as | do. Why should | agree to an all -in deal with you?” “Then I'll wager myself. How about that?” Audrey placed her hands on the table, as if daring Charles.
Charles‘ eyes lit up. He had been thinking about Audrey for quite some time. He sought revenge on Harper because he couldn't get Audrey,
Charles released Lucy and rested his elbows on the gambling table. “Alright! But Ms. Yeomans, don’t go back on your word when you lose!”
“Do you need me to sign anything?” Audrey asked. “Of course, that would be best!” Charles waved the casino staff over.
Such agreements were common in a casino, so there were established procedures in place.
With the casino staff as witness, Audrey and Charles soon signed an agreement and sat down at the gambling table once again.
This time, it was an unlimited betting table.
As the dealer dealt the cards, Charles and Lucy smiled upon seeing his hand.
Lucy looked smugly at Audrey. “You're definitely going to lose this time, Ms. Yeomans!” Lucy leaned into Charles's embrace. “Mr. Murray, even if Ms. Yeomans loses, you can’t abandon me!”
“Of course not, you’re my lucky star! | won’t abandon you for anyone!” Charles playfully patted Lucy's face. Texas Hold’em. Five community cards, two hole cards.
The community cards were a four of spades, a five of spades, and a seven of diamonds.
