Chapter 34 The Card Game Challenge

Finished

When Amelia walked in, Maxwell let out a cold laugh. “Amelia, this isn’t your kind of place. Do you even know how to play cards?”

His tone dripped with mockery,

Amelia raised her eyes and gave him a cold smile. “Why don’t you try me?”

Her words hit a nerve. Maxwell jumped to his feet. “Fine! Let’s play!”

Jeremy frowned and was about to stop her, but Amelia placed a hand over his. “Relax,” she said calmly.

Tonight, she would make Maxwell cry his way home.

Everyone else thought she was a rookie. Let them find out the hard way.

Ithan tried to act humble. “I don’t play much; I’m not really good at it.”

Anderson rolled his eyes. “Ithan, are you serious? Do you have a heart? You play five nights a week.”

“I’m just trying to make the pretty lady feel better,” Ithan shot back. “Besides, with Jeremy around, we don’t stand a chance anyway.”

Truth was, he wanted to play with the pretty girl, not get crushed again by Jeremy.

Every time Jeremy joined the game, he wiped the floor with them.

But tonight, Jeremy wasn’t playing–so maybe they could have some fun and win a few hands from a rookie like Amelia.

Soon, everyone sat around the table.

These were all rich kids who knew each other well, so sitting together to gamble felt natural.

“Let’s start,” Amelia said, her voice calm and steady.

Jeremy had been worried at first, but seeing how composed she was made him relax.

He trusted Amelia completely.

Who knew? Maybe she’d be the one doing the crushing tonight.

He couldn’t wait to find out.

These arrogant guys were long overdue for a good lesson.

Anderson caught Jeremy’s gaze and quickly said, “Hey, Jeremy, no cheating this time!”

Jeremy mocked in disdain, “Don’t worry. Your lousy card skills aren’t worth my effort.”

Then he turned to Amelia and comforted her. “Don’t stress. Just enjoy yourself. If you lose, I’ll cover it.”

Amelia’s lips curved slightly. “Alright, I’ll try not to lose too badly,

Maxwell gave a cold snort. Tonight, he was going to show Amelia just how good he was.

He wanted her crushed, begging for mercy.

Anderson looked around the table. “So, what are we playing? Poker or something else?”

Maxwell grinned. “Why don’t we make it exciting–Texas Hold’em. What do you say?”

Then he glanced at Amelia with a smug smile.

She probably didn’t even know what that was.

Amelia’s eyes flickered with something dark, and a small smile tugged at her lips. “Sure. Let’s play Texas Hold ‘Em.”

Her easy agreement made Maxwell hesitate for a second. She sounded far too confident.

But then he reminded himself. Texas Hold’em? No way she actually knew how to play that. This game was all about nerves and strategy. Something I’m sure she didn’t have.

The others were quick to nod. They played often and felt confident.

Everyone was eager to start.

Jeremy, however, was surprised that Amelia knew this

game.

Texas Hold ‘Em wasn’t a beginner’s game, usually reserved for the high–end crowd.

Yet Amelia sat there calm and steady. Looking at her, Jeremy was certain none of these men would be her

match.

Maxwell couldn’t stand that composure. He sneered. “Amelia, if you don’t know the rules, we can switch to something easier. Don’t force yourself. The minimum bet here is ten grand.”

“I want to play this,” Amelia said firmly.

“Fine. Then let’s deal the cards.” Maxwell motioned.

The way Amelia sat gave off the air of a queen at the head of the table. The others, despite their swagger, somehow looked like background extras beside her.

Soon, a dealer in sexy outfits walked up.

She began shuffling and dealing the cards with practiced ease.

The rules of Texas Hold ‘Em weren’t complicated.

There were 52 cards. Each player started with two private cards. The dealer would later reveal five community cards.
