Chapter S1 Showdown Between Tricksters

The onlookers were shocked.

Richard was a legend in the gambling world of Pamore. He had kept a low profile for the past few

years, but he was an absolute threat compared to half–assed Charles.

However, forcing a young person like this was inappropriate for an old man of his standing.

Grace shrugged carelessly. “What if you lose?”

Richard was clearly here to antagonize her.

Hmph!

Was he joking? Admit that she was the third party in that relationship?

He was crazy.

“I will not lose!” Richard declared loudly. “Just tell me whether or not you agree to this bet!”

He was being an unreasonable bully using his power and authority, but no one dared speak up.

“If you lose, then make Yvonne kneel down in front of me to admit her wrongdoings, and make her slap

herself in the face for getting involved in my marriage!”

Grace’s gaze fell on the diamond ring that Richard wore on his thumb. “And … I want you to give me

that diamond ring of yours as an apology!”

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

The value of that diamond thumb ring was worth as much as a national treasure.

Richard had worn it for many years, and its value was hard to estimate. It was one of his most

treasured possessions.

Everyone glanced at Grace in awe, admiring her boldness.

“What’s the matter? Are you too afraid? You want me to take off all my clothes and be humiliated, so it

stands to reason that you need to raise the stakes,” Grace said calmly.

Richard twirled the ring on his finger furiously, biting down on his anger. He couldn’t believe that this

woman was eyeing his precious thumb ring!

Thinking about how Quine Group’s share prices had been fluctuating due to the rumors, his eyes

turned cold as he said, “It’s a deal.”

“Are you sure about this?” Zoey asked Grace a little worriedly.

“It’s nothing. Watch me.” Grace winked.

+15 BONUS

Richard was confident that he would win. This woman was just lucky to have gotten four sixes, but he

could get any number he wanted.

He was sure that he would win this round.

“One round to decide the winner, no exceptions!”

He grasped the dice box and shook it a few times, then set it down with a thump and opened it quickly.

Four sixes!

He had gotten the highest score on his first attempt. Everyone let out sighs of admiration and turned to

look at Grace with concern.

This was already the highest score one could get.

What would she do?

Just like last time, Grace shook it gently a few times and then set it down carelessly. She inclined her

chin at Richard. “My score’s bigger than yours. You’ve lost.”

“What nonsense is this? I’ve never seen a higher score than mine,” Richard snorted derisively.

Grace opened the lid of the dice box, and before anyone could see clearly, she walked over to Richard

and held out her slender hand. “Give me your thumb ring.”

Everyone leaned forward to look and gasped.

Five sixes!

How could there be another one?

There were clearly only four put in!

“You cheated!”

Richard slammed the table again, roaring with fury.

“Don’t be so violent. You might damage my diamond thumb ring.” Grace was completely unfazed by

Richard’s anger and laughed lightly.

“Even if I cheated, didn’t you do it as well?”

She pushed the dice box over, revealing a magnet on the bottom.

Richard’s face was dark with anger, but years of experience had made him thick–skinned.

He continued to say without any shame, “Since we both cheated, let’s do it again!”

Since he couldn’t use any tricks, he would gamble seriously. He refused to believe that he wouldn’t be

able to defeat Grace today!

+15 BONUS

“You said that we would decide in one round with no exceptions. We both cheated, so the only question

is, who was the more skilled one?”

Grace’s gaze sharpened. “You clearly lost.”

Everyone realized at once that Grace was the true expert to be able to do all this without anyone

noticing.

“The entire entertainment industry heard you. Are you thinking of going back on your word?”

At this time, Zoey raised her camera and took a few photos. Then she lowered her head to check on

them. “Thank you, Mr. Quine Senior. It looks like there will be another trending topic tomorrow.”
