Chapter 851


    Chapter 851


    Back when Yvonne was still at the Hackett’s residence, she had often yed poker with Mrs. Hackett.


    So she knew her way around the game.


    At first, Yvonne had been unwilling to join Caroline and the others, fearing that they would shower more


    praise on Caroline.


    However, since Caroline didn’t know how to y, Yvonne figured she could outshine her in poker.


    Unaware of Yvonne’s thoughts, Marietta felt relieved to see the former bing more sensible.


    “Alright, so four of us can form a table.”


    Betty had no objections to that. “Sure.”


    Then, the four of them took their seats.


    Before the game started, Yvonne said, “Mom, Mrs. Yates Senior, I don’t know how to y. So please


    go


    easy on me.”


    She had said that on purpose. She wanted to impress everyone with her skills.


    Soon, the first round began. Just as they were about to receive their cards, the other threedies


    noticed


    something.


    At some point, Kirk had asked someone to ce a chair behind Caroline. She didn’t turn back to look.


    Instead, she lowered her head and gripped the cards tightly.


    Kirk was very close to Caroline. She could feel his breath brushing over her neck several times, tickling


    her. She had a strong urge to escape.


    However, Caroline had already sat down for the game. She had nowhere to run. Left with no choice,


    she


    had to endure the subtle warmth of his breath on her skin.


    After a while, she couldn’t bear it any longer. She turned her head and met Kirk’s eyes.


    “Mr. Y,” she whispered, her voice carrying a hint of plea.


    “Could you please keep your distance from me?”


    She had never been good at ying poker. With Kirk being so close to her, she was bound to lose


    today.


    Kirk’s eyshes fluttered as he admired Caroline’s blushing face. It had been a long time since he had


    1/2


    Back then, he had loved seeing Caroline blush the most. The sight of her face turning red could sweep


    away all of his worries.


    It was still the same now.


    Kirk nced at Caroline’s cards before asking, “You don’t know how to y, right?”


    “Do you know how?” she inquired, looking at him with hope.


    To her disappointment, he shook his head. “No, I don’t. But I can be your financial supporter.”


    Even though they spoke in hushed tones, Betty still overheard them. They were seated at the same


    table,


    after all.


    She immediatelymented in admiration, “Wow! Mr. Y wants to be Carrie’s financial supporter. How I


    wish someone could back me up like that, too!”


    As Betty spoke, she cast a meaningful nce at Sean. Upon hearing her words, a horrified expression


    came over his face, and he quickly retreated.


    His mother always gambled in millions of dors. There was no way Sean could afford it.


    Marietta chimed in with a smile. “Carrie, since this gentleman is willing to sponsor you, let him have a


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    look at your cards. This way, he can feel a sense of involvement, too.”


    Yvonne was the only one gritting her teeth silently. She honestly couldn’tprehend how Caroline


    could


    attract so many great men.


    Moreover, this man seemed to be a big shot. But what did it matter? Yvonne was determined to give


    Caroline a taste of defeat.


    Soon, it was time for the betting round. Caroline genuinely didn’t know how to y. She casually ced


    a


    bet.


    Betty nced at her cards. In an instant, she eximed with delight, “Oh, Carrie! Starting by giving me


    a


    good hand, huh?”


    Caroline was embarrassed. “I really don’t know how to y poker,” she responded.


    Yvonne became even more confident upon seeing that.


    As expected, Caroline lost in the first round, and the ultimate victor was Yvonne. Right then, Betty’s


    gaze


    toward Yvonne changed slightly.
