Chapter 123
My Wife Is A Masquerade Master
Card Vampires was a popular card game in the upper-class circle of Norton.
However, when she heard this game, Madison frowned.
In the past, to flaiter Regina and Daisy, she often lost deliberately. As a result, Regina would tell everyone how bad her were in playing the cards. There was even once when Daisy saw that she had lost everything, she even forced her to pretend to be a clown to please her friends.
When she thought of those unbearable memories, her heartfelt stilled.
âForget it. Iâm not interested in playing cards. You guys play. Iâll just watch you.â
In Alisonâs eyes, Madisonâs rejection was a sign of fear and cowardice. How could she let go of this opportunity to joke with her? She immediately smiled and said, âMiss Guzman, donât be in a hurry to reject us. Letâs change the rules. Other than money, the loser has to satisfy a request of the winner.â
Madison smiled. âThatâs interesting, but I donât take much money with me tonight. Iâm afraid I wonât be able to last a few rounds.â
She did not want to be entangled with Alison at all, not to mention that Neville was present. She just wanted to find an excuse to go home.
At this moment, Neville leaned over and said, âIf you want to play, itâs on me if you lose. If you win, itâs on you.â
Ethan said coldly, Mr. Preston, youâre so generous. Miss Guzman is my guest, so Iâll be in charge of her things!â
Anthony immediately whistled. âMiss Guzman, Mr. Preston and Mr. Collins have already promised. So donât stand on ceremony.â
Seeing the two men vying to help Madison, Alison secretly gritted her teeth in hatred and said half-
jokingly, âMiss Guzman, are you a sore loser?â
Laurel also echoed. âIf you canât afford to lose, then donât come here to play. There are so many people waiting for you, yet youâre not willing to take part. Are you looking down upon. us?â
Madison narrowed her eyes. âIâm not afraid that I canât afford to lose, but Iâm afraid that you canât afford to lose. After all, we are all living and working in Norton. Weâll see each other often. If I let you lose all your money, itâll seem like Iâm a bad woman.
Alisonâs eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. This woman was nobody in everything but a master in bragging.
âDonât worry, Miss Guzman. I wonât hate you even if I lose my underwear.â
Madison smiled and said, âIâm relieved to hear that, Miss Conner.â
Anthony shuttled the cards. âLadies and gentlemen, letâs begin.â
According to the rules of Card Vampires, there would only be two players left in the end. Therefore, there would only be one winner and one loser.
Alison was already very aggressive at the start of the game. She won the cards in a row.
Madison, on the other hand, remained calm all the time.
Neville had been playing along with Madisonâs pace. He had once heard Regina and Daisy laugh at Madisonâs bad skills, so he had been assisting her during the game.
Now, it seemed that although she played slowly, she seemed to have already grasped the key. Perhaps she was not as bad as he had imagined.
A hint of interest flashed in Nevilleâs eyes as he threw away the only card in his hand. âIâm done. Looks like I canât be the winner tonight.â
Bryan and Kyan knew Nevilleâs card skills too well. This guy was simply a g d of cards. He admitted defeat at this time because he wanted to hand the battlefield to Madison.
So they also retreated soon.
In the end, only Alison and Madison were left at the game.
Alison looked at the cards in her hand, her eyes flashing with excitement. This round, Madison was doomed.
âMiss Guzman, Iâm sorry. Iâll be first.â
Alison then discarded the cards in her hand on the table.
Everyone immediately gasped.
Laurel said excitedly, âItâs a straight flush. Alison is definitely going to win!â
A modest smile appeared on Alisonâs face. âLooks like I have to think about what request I should make to Miss Guzman.â
Laurel fueled the flames, âI heard that Miss Guzman and Hazel are good friends, and Hazel was the most famous stripper back then. Iâm afraid Miss Guzman has learned a lot under her influence, right? Why donât you have a performance here? Iâm so ignorant and Iâve never seen this kind of thing. It must be awesome.â
queen In the past, Hazel had relied on performing striptease to start her acting career. However, ever since she was taken in by Madison, she had changed her appearance. As for her nasty history, it had long been whitewashed.
Now that Laurel mentioned this again, it was obvious that she was humiliating her and her company.
Neville glanced coldly at Anthony. âSeal your garbage bag. You canât bear the consequences of stinking my woman.â
Anthony immediately reprimanded Laurel, âB i t c h, are you blind? Everyone sitting here is a reputable person. No one will f u c ki n g cater to your bad taste. If you donât want to play, get lost!â
Laurel said aggrievedly. âMiss Guzman is not so petty that she canât even bear such a joke.â
Madison smiled. âI think Miss Davisonâs suggestion is quite interesting.â
She turned to look at Alison. âMiss Conner, what do you think?â
Alison scanned Madisonâs calm face, but she did not see any panic. She could not help but feel suspicious. She was not sure if she was bluffing or if she was indeed confident.
However, she thought about it carefully. When playing Card Vampires in the Norton, a straight flush was the biggest hand, unless she could make five of a kind. But the probability was extremely small.
Moreover, Madisonâs card skills were extremely poor. It was impossible for her to win.
Naturally, she would not miss this opportunity to humiliate Madison. She then smiled and said, âIf Miss Guzman thinks itâs a good idea, I donât mind.â
She knew Neville too well. Even if he still couldnât forget Madison, he must dump her again if he saw her flirting in front of 09:24 Wed; 15 May G so many men.
Just as Madison was about to show her cards, Neville grabbed her wrist and lowered his voice. âIf you donât want to admit defeat, I can help you disrupt the game.â
Madison pursed her lips. âThe person you should be worried about is Miss Conner.â
She then threw the cards on the table.
When everyone saw the color of the cards clearly, they immediately exclaimed.
âG o d, itâs five of a kind!â
âWow! Thatâs a miracle! I remember that Neville did this two years ago. He made me pay for a motorcycle.â
âYou must have learned a lot from Neville. Awesomel Alisonâs face instantly turned pale. Not only had she lost money, but she had also lost dignity. If she jumped on that stage, striped herself, and twerked before the public, that was equivalent to social suicide to herself, and a reputation bomb to her family.
Madison must have lied to her!
Only veterans with supreme card skills could make five of a kind. So Madison had been pretending to be a bad player.
She raised her eyes and looked at Madison. As expected, she saw the corners of her lips curled up, as if she was mocking her s t u p i d i t y At this moment, Alison immediately understood. From the beginning, Madison had been setting a trap for her, luring her step by step toward the abyss.
Madison smiled and silently mouthed a sentence to her. âMiss Conner, a good hunter often appears in the form of prey. Remember to be more careful next time.â
Alison was trembling with anger.
People around whistled. âMiss Conner, take it off!â
