Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Chapter 853

Betty’s expression darkened. “What do you mean by that? Does Carrie have to lie about such a trivial thing? Can’t she just be a quick learner?”

Marietta furrowed her brows slightly, too. Seeing that, Yvonne hurriedly tried to explain herself. “I didn’t mean it that way, Mrs. Yates Senior. Let’s continue with the game.”

She refused to believe Caroline would have such good luck in the next round as well.

Caroline didn’t want to spoil the mood, either. So, she chimed in, “Let’s continue playing, Mrs. Yates

Senior.”

However, Caroline still won in the next two rounds. After losing five million dollars, Yvonne became

somewhat unsettled.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on Kirk. Winning once could be luck. However, Caroline had won three times in a

row.

Yvonne realized things weren’t that simple. This time, she handled it cleverly. “Sir, could you please get me a glass of water?”

As she spoke, she even deliberately cast a seductive glance at Kirk.

Yet, Kirk didn’t even flinch, and his gaze remained cold. Yvonne almost lost her composure at that sight.

Just as she thought he would refuse, Kirk rose and headed to the kitchen.

Betty and Marietta were somewhat surprised. On the other hand, Yvonne was secretly feeling pleased.

She thought she had seduced Kirk with her charms.

Only Caroline quietly pursed her lips.

“Caroline, it’s your turn,” Yvonne said. Her tone, which was filled with malicious intent, pulled Caroline

back to reality.

Caroline glanced at Yvonne and managed to notice her smirk. It wasn’t a friendly smirk. Instead, it carried

a tinge of gloating.

From the start, Caroline had felt that Yvonne harbored ill intentions toward her. However, she knew the

latter was Marietta’s daughter.

Besides, Caroline could sense Marietta’s genuine kindness toward her. So she had dismissed it, thinking

she was overthinking.

Yet, at that moment, Caroline realized she hadn’t overthought at all. No wonder Yvonne had been

unfriendly when they had first met. It wasn’t a misunderstanding.

Caroline examined her hand and placed a bet.

“Call!” Yvonne exclaimed triumphantly.

Caroline glanced at Yvonne. She could tell that the latter had something up her sleeve.

Soon, it was Caroline’s turn again. She checked once more.

“Oh, another good hand,” Yvonne commented.

She happily arranged her cards while saying, “You’re such a nice person, Caroline. Are you afraid of that

gentleman? Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“When he was around earlier, you didn’t dare to do anything.”

While examining her hand, a faint smile appeared on Caroline’s face. “Are you saying I can only win when

Mr. Y is around?”

“I didn’t mean that,” Yvonne replied with a sincere smile.

“If I did, wouldn’t it imply that the gentleman was guiding you from behind? I wouldn’t dare say anything

when there’s no evidence.

“Otherwise, Mrs. Yates Senior and my mom will get angry again. Do you agree with what I said, Mom?”

Yvonne didn’t have the guts to ask Betty. Thus, she directed her question at Marietta.

Marietta could only purse her lips helplessly.

Caroline made a bet and responded, “You’ll know in a moment.”

“What do you mean?” Yvonne inquired. She met Caroline’s gaze, feeling inexplicably anxious.

Nevertheless, Caroline remained silent and placed another bet.

Yvonne looked at her cards. She was confident about them, but she still felt uneasy.

However, in no time, her anxiety vanished. Caroline had just revealed the card Yvonne wanted her to.

Yvonne looked at the card. The joy was evident on her face as she said, “Caroline, I’m afraid it’s hard for you to win if you keep handing me cards like this.”
