In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts

Chapter 80 You Lost

“Ladies first.”

Charles sat down and gestured for her to take a seat as well.

Grace took the dice box and shook it disinterestedly. Her slender fingers rested on the lid, and her

demeanor relaxed as if she were just playing. “I’m done.‘

Charles grinned sinisterly at Grace, who didn’t seem to be taking the game seriously.

The dice probably hadn’t even moved, and it was almost like she had decided to lose on

purpose.

The onlookers couldn’t understand what she was doing and looked at each other.

Was that it?

With such a large audience watching, a vigorous shake would have been more appropriate.

Surely she knew how many dice there were?

Did she really think she could win like that?

What a joke!

Charles had no intention of going easy on his opponent. He was determined to get his exclusive scoop

on Simon.

He prepared himself for a few seconds and began an elaborate routine that showed off his skills.

He could barely see over the top of the table because he was so short. He shook the dice box for a few

minutes, and when the crowd began to get restless, he slammed it down on the table.

He opened the lid. There were four fives.

He had it in the bag.

He was a predator going against a rookie, and he was assured of his victory.

He was triumphant and pleased at the fact that his skills were still intact.

The onlookers gave him a thumbs up. “Mr. Sanders is really good at it! He’ll be hard to defeat!”

Zoey stood beside Grace, sneering coldly at Charles. “Don’t count your chickens before they’ve

hatched. We’ll see how good you really are when Grace reveals her dice.”

Grace couldn’t even be bothered to stand, and she smiled at Zoey. “Open it for me.”

She was completely unafraid, as if she were just playing around.

Zoey pushed it with the tip of her finger and revealed to everyone that it was four sixes!

Grace leaned back in her chair and smiled contemptuously. “Mr. Sanders, you lost.”

Charles couldn’t believe his eyes. How could she have gotten the highest number possible?

But everyone was looking, and there was no possibility of cheating. He stared glumly at the four sixes

and sat back down on his chair.

“Mr. Sanders, you’ve got to keep your promise. Time to take your clothes off.”

Zoey was holding a professional camera used for interviews that had several lenses, one on top of the

other, and her gaze sharpened.

“Let me be of service to you, Mr. Sanders. I’ll personally do the video shooting, personally write the

script, and present you with a trending issue.”

Charles laughed awkwardly. “Ms. Walters, you’re so humorous. Wouldn’t it be a waste of money to

make me a trending topic?”

“I want to waste money! Hurry up, take it off!” Zoey couldn’t be bothered to argue.

Grace glanced at Charles‘ figure. Would anyone really want to see this as the top story on the news?

“Mr. Sanders, you have to admit defeat. Take it off!” Everyone cajoled him.

Charles had no choice but to take everything off in front of everyone, leaving only his underpants to

protect his modesty.

“It looks like Ms. Lewis doesn’t enter the battle unprepared. As expected, she’s a schemer.” An old,

hardy voice rang out behind them.

Everyone’s expressions changed, and a path was cleared at once.

Richard, the chairman of Quine Group, was someone whose words held a lot of power. He had a

complex web of connections and wasn’t someone to be messed with.

The crowd was aware of the fact that Richard’s granddaughter, Yvvone, had gotten involved in Grace’s

marriage. They gathered around in silence, eager for a show.

Richard walked into the crowd and his henchmen pushed Charles aside roughly. Then, Richard took a

seat.

“He was greedy. I just gave him a small warning.” Grace met his sly eyes without fear.

She had heard many things about Richard.

Behind the scenes, he was the one with the real power in Quine Group.

Before she and Benjamin had gotten divorced, he had always been telling Benjamin to go over

It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Richard was the instigator behind her marriage breaking

up!

“Ms. Lewis, since you have such outstanding skills in gambling, will you play a round with this old

man?”

“Why would I do that?”

Grace lifted her head haughtily, completely disregarding Richard. “What do you have that I would want

to bet on?”

Richard suppressed his anger at Grace’s attitude. “The internet is buzzing with rumors of my

granddaughter allegedly harming you.”

Grace laughed out loud. “Mr. Quine Senior, you certainly have a way with words. Alleged? Hasn’t she

already been convicted?”

Richard slammed the table furiously. “The result is not conclusive!”

Zoey said coldly, “Do you really think you can shut the mouths of the public?”

“That depends on how I go about it.” Richard’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Grace.

“If I win, I want you to hold a press conference and clarify that it is not true.

“You must also personally admit that you were the one who came between Yvonne and Benjamin

during their courtship. You were the third party in their relationship!

“And today, you must take off all your clothes and walk out n*ked!”
