After that, she saw him take out another stack of chips from another pocket, and even more from his pants pocket, even from beneath his shirt.
Celeste watched the old man keep pulling out chips from his pockets until they piled up into a small mountain.
Celeste: ???
She stared at Liam in disbelief, while the latter seemed very calm, “I told you, he’s got good luck.”
This was more than just good luck; her grandpa must have won every single game in the entire afternoon!
With so many chips, after paying his table fees and tips, he ended up winning over a million dollars.
Celeste lamented that this was way more than what she made from acting, and wondered how great it would’ve been if she knew she could’ve simply gambled with the old man!
Celeste was very interested in the old man’s gambling skills and kept asking him why he could guess right every time.
The old man said leisurely, “Don’t think about making money from these side hustles.”
“Why do you still gamble then?”
The old man said seriously, “I’m just an old man. Losing is not a big deal for me. But for you guys, if you get addicted to gambling, you’ll be ruined. You lose more than you win, and the casino isn’t gonna let you walk away with their money just like that.”
Although he made a lot of sense, Celeste couldn’t help but feel like the old man was lying to her.
She secretly whispered to Liam, “Do you think the old man could be cheating?”
Liam nodded, “It’s possible.”
“What should we do?”
Liam glanced at her, “You could let the casino manager know and have them check the surveillance. If he’s really cheating, you could turn him in. He’s old, they probably won’t keep him for long.”
Celeste immediately replied, “I would never do that.”
The gambling on the ship wasn’t exactly legal anyway, and even if he was cheating, it would be settled privately. Turning him in would only get everyone else in trouble too.
When they came out, most of the people had gathered on the deck, and it was already fairly packed.
Owen took the old man to the pool area. Liam went to chat with some acquaintances in the business circle, and Celeste was surrounded by the
wives.
Last time at the jewelry exhibition, Sienna’s attention for Celeste had already spread among the wives, so today, when Celeste appeared, they were all much warmer to her, regardless of their real feelings.
This kind of enthusiasm was completely different compared to how they treated Sydney earlier.
The former was to please and be cautious, while the latter was more like curiosity, as if observing a monkey that had wandered into the crowd.
Sydney had a glass of wine in her hand, looking displeased.
Someone asked, “Ms. Campbell, your acting in that show you did recently was amazing! How did you come up with the idea to take on that role?” “It was that “Mastermind of Law,” right? My kids sit down in front of the TV every day after school to watch it, and I’ve watched a few episodes too. I didn’t recognize it was Celeste until you mentioned it.”
