Ethan gritted his teeth. âAll right. Letâs go with your plan. Weâll use one round to determine the winner. Letâs see who rolls the lowest number.â
The dealer stood in the middle, closest to both of them. Today, he witnessed the start of this high-stakes gambling match firsthand. âGentlemen, the dice are ready. Please check them, and if everythingâs good, we can begin.â
The female croupier first went to Ethan with the tray and lifted the cover, allowing him to check it. Then, she walked over to Yvette, who glanced at it and nodded casually.
She followed the usual procedure and walked around in front of the camera, allowing those outside the venue to get a clearer view.
The highly anticipated gambling match officially began.
âLadies first. Ethan graciously allowed Yvette to go first.
Yvette paused, her leg casually crossed. âNo need. You go first.â
After she produced 100 million dollars, Ethan no longer saw Yvette as an ordinary nobody. He needed to be extremely cautious, even though victory seemed certain.
This game could only end in a wh, with no room for loss.
Ethan grabbed the dice cup and shook it three times on each side before throwing it high up. His ears flicked slightly, showcasing his unique skill of sound recognition. After three seconds of shaking it up and down, it finally came crashing down with a loud smack on the table.
âHey, pretty, Iâll call off this bet if you say yes to being my girlfriend,â he urged.
âNo!â Ryan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up to stop them.
Ryan still didnât believe Yvette could win against Ethan even if she could come up with 100 million dollars. He couldnât just stand by and watch Yvette walk into the tigerâs den.
It was the first time Ethan had seen Ryan lose his composure, which made him feel even more smug.
Yvette propped her chin on her hand, a playful glint in her eyes. Iâm not interested in being your girlfriend, but Iâll consider being your boss.â
Her words sent the crowd into fits of laughter. They couldnât help but marvel at Yvetteâs sharp remark about Ethan.
âWho is this girl? Sheâs so funny!â
âI really want to ask her out!â
âForget it. Itâs not worth getting on the Brooks familyâs bad side for her.â
âI wouldnât mind dying if it meant I could be with her,â the crowd chattered.
Ethan was so angry he felt like he might spit blood, his teeth nearly grinding to dust as he glared at Yvette. âDo you know who my dad is? How dare you talk so bigâ
Yvette became impatient and wondered why it was taking so long to end a 100-million-dollar match. âI know your dad, Daniel Brooks, is Seacrityâs deputy mayor. Is this game on or not? Stop dawdling.â
Ethan realized that she clearly looked down on his family, musing, Sheâs still so arrogant even when she knows my dadâs identity.
Could it be that she really has some backing?â
The man felt a sudden unease. However, he couldnât back down now, or the Brooks family would become the laughingstock of Seacrity.
He gritted his teeth in anger, âSince you refuse to see reason, Iâll proceed. Donât regret this.â With that, he revealed the dice.
The high-definition camera zoomed in. All six dice were lined up perfectly, each showing the number one for a total of six.
Everyone erupted into cheers.
âWhoa, Ethan is amazing, rolling six ones!â
âHis gambling skills are truly incredible.â
âWith the smallest possible roll, whatâs left to watch? 100 million dollars is gone, just like that.â
