Chapter 506

Ellinor Mendoza’s game plan got all scrambled up. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and got

ready to play her hand.

Out of nowhere, Theo Blanchet’s big hand reached out. His rough fingertips pressed her card back into

the pile, then picked a new

one for her to play.

Ellinor stared at the card he played and had an epiphany. Playing the card his way was indeed

unexpected and increased the odds.

of winning.

She didn’t understand why Theo, who was ignoring her just now, was helping her all of a sudden.

They locked eyes.

Theo showed no emotion. “What are you looking at me for? Look at your cards!”

Ellinor fell silent. There was no need to be so serious.

She wanted to thank him, but….

Anyway, Theo’s reminder was well–intentioned.

But after he scolded her, Ellinor’s gratitude instantly vanished.

She pouted and turned her face away, frowning at her cards and feeling a bit annoyed.

Theo’s action surprised everyone, but it was also expected.

Jonah Wyton and Kemp Larios exchanged glances, understanding each other without uttering a word.

Bartlett Rex squinted at Theo, then looked at Ellinor as complex emotions emerged in his eyes.

The girl, who had always been cold to him, always seemed calm and composed and did not frown no

matter what happened.

However, just because Theo got close, she changed her face. This was a reaction he could never get

from her, no matter what he

did.

Under Theo’s guidance, Ellinor decided to follow his strategy and the game went much smoother.

Occasionally, Theo would help her adjust the order of her cards, then whisper to her about what to

watch out for.

Every time he spoke, there was no emotional color, but Ellinor could always feel his cold aura and

pressure.

Ellinor was now focused on winning the game; she wouldn’t care about anything else. As long as she

thought he was right, she

would listen.

A few rounds later, Jonah saw the situation spiraling out of control and realized he couldn’t win. He

complained, “Theo, you know, a real gentleman doesn’t talk while looking at his cards.”

Theo, expressionless, gave him a cold look, “A real gentleman also doesn’t pick the best cards for

himself when dealing.”

Jonah, whose magic skills were high, laughed when Theo exposed him, but he didn’t feel ashamed,

“Theo, whose side are you on? Ellinor is with Balfour; she has nothing to do with you now. You don’t

need to stick your nose in this.”

Jonah’s words made Ellinor feel very uncomfortable; he brought up the topic they had avoided before,

and the atmosphere. instantly became awkward.

Theo picked up the water glass on the table and drank a sip without expression, “I’m not trying to

interfere. I’m just curious to see how you would perform a striptease.”

Jonah looked horrified and pretended to cover his chest, “Theo, I thought you were my friend, and you

want…”

Theo’s face darkened, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes and he said coldly. “Bug off!”

Ellinor glanced at Jonah’s dramatic expression, then turned to look at Theo next to her, discovering the

cup he was drinking from was the one she just used.

Why did he pick up her cup and drink from it again?
