Everyone’s eyes were popping out!!!
Men were shocked, women were jealous.
Is this the Mr. Cheney they knew?
Jasmine Yale shrugged, raised her eyes to look at him: “Don’t blame me if you lose money.”
Sylvan Cheney’s lips curled up in a slight grin: “If we lose, it’s on me, if we win, it’s yours. With me here, I won’t let you lose.”
Huh???
So, he was giving her money for free?
A few men teased: “When we play cards with Mr. Cheney, Mr. Cheney always wins. Don’t worry, lady, you’ll probably win a few villas tonight.”
“Yeah, Mr. Cheney always hustles us. He’d promised to let us win, but he never did.”
“Look, lady, all the money on this table, Mr. Cheney won.”
Sylvan Cheney glanced at them indifferently: “It’s your turn to play.”
“Oh, of course!”
Everyone lowered their heads, starting to take their cards seriously.
A few women twisted their waists, throwing pistachios into the men’s mouths.
Jasmine Yale was clueless about the game, so Sylvan Cheney lowered his head and whispered some instructions to her.
Jasmine Yale blinked her eyes, still confused.
“How can you be so clueless?”
After repeating the instructions to her several times without success, Sylvan finally couldn’t hold back his teasing.
“Mr. Cheney, it’s your turn to play.”
“Play 6.” Sylvan reached out his hand.
“No, you should play 8.” Jasmine pointed to the card.
“Play 6.”
“No, you should play 8 !” Jasmine insisted.

Sylvan, full of consternation, did not argue with her.
As a result, they indeed lost the hand.
“Oh dear, if Mr. Cheney is letting us win, we will graciously accept.”
The winner grinned while taking Sylvan Cheney’s bills.
“Master Canary, Mr. Cheney is letting you win, and you have no shame to accept.” one woman joked.
“Since Mr. Cheney kindly let me win once, I won’t be polite.”
Jasmine Yale spread her hands, and innocently looked at Sylvan Cheney.
Although he lost quite a lot, Sylvan didn’t seem to care, just quietly opened his mouth.
“My woman is new to this, please go easy on her.”
Jasmine’s face darkened, when did she become his woman?
“Oh, I knew it. Mr. Cheney is so attentive, at first I thought she was Mr.
Cheney’s sister.” one man said.
“Oh dear, it’s the first time seeing Mr. Cheney play cards with a woman. We didn’t recognize the tall mountain, we recognize you as our sister-in-law.” Jasmine felt embarrassed, this was all so absurd.
Looking at Sylvan Cheney again, he seemed quite unconcerned.
They called her “sister-in-law,” but he made no denials.
Jasmine quietly said: “Mr. Cheney, you promised me, just play one round!”
“One round, but a round doesn’t mean just once.” Sylvan explained to her at a leisurely pace.
“Sister-in-law, you don’t understand this, in this game, one round is ten games.”
“That last hand?” Jasmine’s eyes widened.
“The first game.”

Jasmine thought, did Sylvan trap her again?
She had to grit her teeth and deal her cards.
Sylvan kept his promise, she couldn’t break hers.
The room was no longer reserved as before, everyone let loose, the chatter and laughter filled the room.
Jasmine slowly got the hang of it, but she still wasn’t playing well.
If Sylvan didn’t guide her, she would lose.
Sylvan didn’t bother anymore, if she loses, then so be it, he just stood silently watching.
After Jasmine lost a few hands, a few men were delighted.
“Mr. Cheney, you should bring sister-in-law to play more often.”
“…” Jasmine felt extremely awkward.
If she played a few more times, she might just lose all of Sylvan Cheney’s fortune..
