Chapter 1042 Betting With Susan


    Chapter 1042 Betting with Susan


    Esther was on the brink of arguing with Susan. Chris pulled her aside, saying, "Honey, why don''t you


    go outside and cool off? I''ll handle things here."


    Huh? Esther hesitated, but upon seeing Chris''s confident smile, she nodded and left. She really didn''t


    want to see Susan. She was afraid she might not be able to contain herself from severing ties with her


    own mother. How could there be such an outrageous mother in this world, and why did she have to be


    stuck with her? Sobbing, as soon as she stepped out, Ye Mengyan couldn''t help but shed tears of pain.


    Meanwhile, Chris casually pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Susan with a teasing expression.


    Susan furrowed her brow, "Chris, why are youing over here?"


    Ever since Chris had dealt with the Collins family, Susan had not dared to act arrogantly in front of him.


    After all, Chris was a ruthless person! Not only did he kill his own brother and niece, but he also


    confined his own father. Who knew what Chris would do if provoked?


    Chris chuckled, "Mom, don''t worry. I heard from Esther that you love gambling..."


    Before Chris could finish, Susan, impatient, retorted, "What does my liking for gambling have to do with


    you? I didn''t ask you for money. I asked my daughter for money. Chris, if you have any sense, you


    wouldn''t meddle in this!"


    "Heh," Chris immediatelyughed, "How does it have nothing to do with me, Mom? Have you forgotten


    that I am the son-inw of your Jefferson family? If Esther loses all her money to you, how will she


    support me, your little trophy husband?"


    "You..." Upon hearing this, Susan didn''t know how to respond. How shameless could Chris be? She


    had never encountered such shamelessness before. He stated his freeloading status so boldly! And


    was Chris really just a trophy husband? After all this time, Susan was no fool; she had long known that


    Chris, that bastard, had always been ying dumb. If it weren''t for Chris, there would be no Chester


    Group today!


    "Alright, I won''t waste my breath with you," Chris cut to the chase, "I heard you like to gamble. How


    about we make a bet?"


    "Tch," Susan dismissed, "Fine, let''s gamble! Why should I gamble with you? Are you going to give me


    money?"


    Chris smiled and said, "Of course, I have money to give you. Truth be told, I recently went to Star


    Ind overseas and casually won several billion dors. If you can beat me, I''ll give you not just ten


    billion, but a hundred billion!"


    Upon hearing this, Susan''s eyes lit up. She hadn''t expected Chris to have won several billion dors


    overseas at Star Ind. Converted to Amerosian soft sister coins, that would be several hundred


    billion!


    "Really?" Susan asked skeptically, after calming down.


    Whether what Chris said was true or not, and if he would really give her a hundred billion, Susan had


    her doubts.


    "Of course it''s true! You''re my mom, would I lie to you? But I have one condition: if you lose, you''re not


    allowed to gamble anymore. How does that sound?"


    Hearing this, Susan immediately began contemting. Chris was right. No matter how domineering


    Chris was outside, at home, he still had to listen to Esther. And she was Esther''s mother, Chris''s


    mother-inw. If Chris dared to default, she''d see how she''d deal with him.


    "Alright, how do you want to bet?" Susan asked.


    "It''s simple! I happen to have a deck of poker cards here. We each draw a card, and the one with the


    highest card wins."


    Saying this, Chris took out a deck of cards from his pocket. It was a deck he had brought back as a


    souvenir from the overseas Star Ind casino.


    "Alright, I''ll y with you," Susan agreed readily. Drawing a card andparing them? Even a fool


    could y this simple game.


    "Since that''s settled, let''s..." Chris was about to start when Susan suddenly interrupted.


    "What if we draw the same card?" Susan asked, eyeing Chris warily.


    At this, Chris couldn''t help but chuckle. Susan was indeed a wary person. "You can rest assured. If we


    draw the same card, I''ll consider it my loss. Do you have any other questions?"


    "No! Stop the chatter and let''s begin!" Susan was eager. If she won by drawing the same card, she''d


    still win, wouldn''t she? Such a good game, it was silly not to y.


    At this moment, Esther returned. Upon hearing that Chris and Susan were about to y cards, she


    couldn''t help but worry. If Chris really lost, would he really give Susan a hundred billion? Esther knew


    Susan''s temper very well. If Chris didn''t pay up, Susan definitely wouldn''t let it go easily; she would


    definitely make a scene. But if he did give Susan a hundred billion, wouldn''t that be enabling her?


    Of course, despite her concerns, Esther kept quiet. She knew that Chris must have been confident to


    make such a proposal. After being married for so long, there was still some trust there!


    Seeing Susan''s eagerness, Chris didn''t waste any time. He took out the deck of cards and said to


    Susan, "Mom, as the elder, you draw first."


    Susan gave Chris a disdainful look. "You know your ce," she said. With that, Susan carefully drew a


    card. Meanwhile, Chris also casually drew a card.


    Susan sneakily nced at her card and immediately eximed with excitement, "Haha! I drew a King!


    Chris, did you see? I got a King. You''ve definitely lost this round! Hand over the money!"


    After saying this, Susan reached out, demanding money from Chris. Getting a King was a good hand.


    Unless Chris drew an Ace, there was no better card than hers. But how likely was it to draw an Ace?


    After all, there were only four Aces in a deck of cards. Susan couldn''t believe that Chris had such good


    luck to draw an Ace!


    Seeing this, Esther couldn''t help but worry. "Honey..." She reached out and tugged at Chris''s clothes,


    whispering, "Why don''t we just forget about this?"


    Upon hearing this, Susan exploded. She angrily shouted at Esther, "How could we just forget about


    this? Esther, this is none of your business. Go somewhere else if you want to stay cool! Get away from


    me!"


    "I..." Upon hearing this, Esther was close to losing her temper. Susan had been eager to see her

    before, but now she couldn''t wait to drive her away!


    Chris turned to Esther and, with a confident smile, said, "Honey, don''t you trust me?"


    Huh? Esther hesitated. But after seeing Chris''s confident smile, for some reason, she suddenly felt a


    surge of confidence. She nodded and said, "Honey, I trust you!"


    Then, Chris turned to Susan and asked with a smirk, "Mom, do you really think you''ve won?"
