The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: The Battle Of Luck

"All in."

Lola squinted her eyes with a wide smile, tilting her head slightly. For a second, everyone’s mouths parted as their gazes fell on the briefcase. Stacks upon stacks of chips worth a million each were inside.

They gulped, eyes darting between the case she pushed to the center and the radiant smile on her face.

She’s bluffing, the man in the white suit told himself, his hands trembling slightly over his cards. How much is that now??

His breathing slowed as he tried to silence the whispers and mounting pressure around him. Not just him — everyone still in the game forced themselves to block out the noise and focus.

On the table sat a minimum of a hundred million. With the existing bets, it was closer to a hundred and fifty million. Even at a high-stakes table, this was no small amount. Whoever called this round stood to win a fortune — enough to walk away early, or keep playing with more than enough to spare.

But if they lost... that was another story entirely.

Each player studied Lola’s expression. She looked too happy — happy enough to look like a foolish, pretty girl out of her depth.

Was she bluffing? Or was she genuinely lucky this time?

"Place your bets," the dealer finally prompted, his eyes flicking to the next player.

The first man stared at Lola a moment longer before huffing. "I’ll fold." He leaned back. No way was he risking everything. Unlike these thrill-seekers, gambling was his business — he gambled to earn, not to bleed out.

The next man also folded, not wanting to go home early.

The third followed, but his reason was that he was already deep in debt. His chips were all he had left — well, his chips and his life. Better to fold and still afford gas money home.

Then it was the man in the white suit’s turn.

Now, all eyes fell on him. On the outside, he carried a stoic look. But inside, he was sweating through his shirt. He studied Lola carefully, his breath slow. Even the audience held theirs, waiting for his answer.

She’s bluffing, he told himself again. Earlier she folded strong cards and lost. She barely knows the game. Now she’s trying to win it all back in one go. A desperate bet.

He rocked his head slightly and peeked at his cards.

A straight flush, he reminded himself, drawing a tiny bit of comfort from his cards. She’d need a royal flush to beat this. No way she’s that lucky.

With renewed confidence, he inhaled deeply and nodded.

When he lifted his head, he smirked. "Call."

Gasps rippled across the table, and then, quiet cheers followed. It wasn’t their money on the line, but the adrenaline was infectious.

Lola’s smile faltered, just for a second. But it was enough for him to notice.

Ha! Thought I’d miss that? he sneered inwardly. Sorry, sweetheart. I won’t lose this round. But maybe... I’ll take you to dinner afterward. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

His thoughts trailed off when Lola’s lips curved into a sly smirk. It was subtle, but enough for him to catch the glint in her eyes.

"You..." he muttered.

"Show cards," the dealer announced.
