Gabriel suddenly stood up. She thought that he was going to the washroom, but he turned around and said to her, “You play.”
She was at a loss. “I don’t really know how to…”
Besides, they were betting so big and she didn’t have that much money.
Although she was the second daughter of the Rivers family, she had never touched the money Benjamin had given her all these years.
Some time ago, she had given all the money in her account to Benjamin for the bidding of Haverford Corporation’s land.
The money they better was enough for her to live on for a year. She was not extravagant enough to lose herself.
Joseph smiled and said, “Gabriel is here. What are you afraid of? He’ll be the one paying if we lose anyway.”
She took a peek at Gabriel, feeling uncertain since he did not refute or nod.
If he didn’t pay after losing, wouldn’t she be selling herself?
She hesitated but because Gabriel had already moved his seat, she could only bite the bullet and sit in his previous seat.
Every time she played a card, she would look at Gabriel’s expreslnon. At the beginning, picking up the wrong card would illicit a frown from Gabriel and she would know that the card in her hand could not be played. After thinking about it, she would change to another card.
But later on, perhaps because he felt that her card skills were too bad, he did not even bother to look at her, simply playing around with his lighter.
Serenity started losing and began to feel uneasy. A thin layer of sweat seeped out of her palms as she glanced at the man beside her and saw that he was not looking at her. She kicked him lightly under the table, but he did not react.
She could only poke him with her elbow when no one was paying attention. Gabriel looked up before returning to his lighter.
“Gabriel, don’t blame me if 1 make you lose everything you have.”
But he did not have much of a reaction when she said that. Instead, Joseph, who was sitting opposite him, scoffed and said, “Miss Shen, are you still not clear about Jinchuan’s net worth?”
She was just making an analogy. Moreover, she did not have the guts to lose all his family assets. She could not afford to pay for it.
She muttered softly to him, “Being rich enables willfulness.”
When Gabriel heard this, he looked at her. She immediately covered her mouth with one hand, giving off an innocent and harmless look.
She looked rather playful and comical, and Gabiel only glanced at her briefly before looking away.
Joseph had a wife and children, so he left before 10:30 pm. Gabriel and the rest eventually left at 11 pm.
Serenity shamelessly followed Gabriel into the car. Caleb glanced at the expressionless man, then at her, giving her a look. She looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.
Caleb had no choice but to say, “Miss Serenity, you can take a taxi back.”
Why did she follow him into the car?
Could it be that she wanted President Jones to send her back?
It was impossible.
She was a smart woman, but why was she so unwise today?
Serenity hesitated for a moment before she got out of the car. Then, she opened the door of the driver’s seat. Before Caleb could react, she pulled him out of the car and sat in the car herself.
“Caleb, I’ll send President Jones back. Please take a taxi home.” And with that, she started the car and left.
Her series of actions were executed so smoothly that no one could react in time – even Gabriel was stunned..
