Chapter 710


    The conversation between the two made everyone puzzled. Everyone subconsciously exchanged


    nces with each other. Even Garrick was somewhat surprised.


    "Hey, do you know her, Skyler? Is she your guest of honor? Tsk. She looks quite innocent, though. I


    couldn''t tell how clever she was."


    "Youngdies these days are smarter than you think."


    "I looked down on you."


    "Don''t screw up, Garrick."


    "Garrick, don''t be blinded by this vixen."


    Everyone started talking and maliciously specting about Shirley.


    Hearing the unpleasant words from the crowd, she was infuriated. Nevertheless, she was carrying a


    significant amount of responsibility, and she had to struggle for the opportunity to negotiate cooperation


    with Garrick. Otherwise, Veronica would be kicked out of the Vincere Games.


    "President Brennan, I''m sorry. I was too nervous just now and yed the wrong card. Can you... give


    me another chance to win it back for you?" Shirley mustered up her courage and tried to make herself


    seem less nervous.


    Skyler noticed that there were stars in Shirley''s eyes when she looked at Garrick, so he couldn''t help


    but frown. Walking over to the dealer''s seat, he sat down and mocked, "You? Careful not to lose


    Garrick''s entire property."


    His sentence elicited a burst ofughter from the crowd.


    Hearing that, she couldn''t control her heart from beating so fast. She felt like she was on tenterhooks


    right now. She was so nervous that she could almost hear her own heartbeat clearly.


    On the other hand, Garrick sat on his chair and crossed his legs while smoking a cigarette silently


    without speaking.


    The four quickly started a new round.


    Skyler started first by cing an ante. Then, everyone looked at Shirley, but she returned a


    dumbfounded gaze at them.


    "Are you sure you know how to y?" Skyler rolled his eyes at her and pointed at the ante.


    Only then did she realize it was her turn, so she quickly ced her ante.


    Once the game officially started, everyone around quieted down. Shirley ced one of her hands


    beside her and wiped her palm on her pants because she was sweating due to nervousness. This


    movement quickly fell into Garrick''s gaze. Raising one of his brows, he couldn''t help but smirk.


    "Raise." Skyler raised the bet.


    When it was Shirley''s turn, she said, "I fold."


    "Straight Flush."


    Skyler managed to win, so Shirley decided with a "call" in the next round.


    "Straight Flush!"


    Once again, Skyler won the round. He raised his brows and smirked. "Thanks."


    "Do you even know how to y? You haven''t gotten any good cards yet!"


    "Yeah. What''s wrong with you?"


    "Why did you volunteer when you didn''t know how to y?"


    "What a buzzkill."


    A few of them grunted andined.


    On the other hand, Shirley was so nervous that she almost suffocated. Not daring to speak, she silently


    flipped her cards and decided with another "call."


    "Royal Flush!"


    Skr threw the cards on the table and started pping. "Did you just read my mind? Why are you


    giving me everything I want?"


    "Are you here to pick a fight?"


    "What the hell?"


    "Did she go easy on him?"


    "Cheating?"


    "Youngdy, do you know how much losing a round costs? In less than five minutes, you already lost


    2.5 million for Garrick!"


    2.5 million? Shirley was bbergasted.


    Even though she knew that the riches bet arge number, she never expected to lose one million as


    soon as she sat down.

    Her breathing was stagnant, and even though the air conditioner was turned on in the private room,


    she felt warm and sweaty.


    "P-President Brennan, I..."


    Mustering her courage to look at Garrick, Shirley apologized, "I''m sorry, l-l didn''t do it on purpose."
