Chapter 27 Sore Loser


    How meaningless would it be without bets?


    Eric''s eyes were deep as he stared at her indifferent side profile. "What are your thoughts?"


    Before Nicole could say anything, Keith sneered and spoke first. "If Eerg loses, I''ll walk out of here butt


    naked, but if Nicole loses..."


    He swept a nce at the Carter brothers and continued in a disdainful tone, "You need to admit in


    public that you married into the Ferguson family for money, and you can never show your face in


    Anta ever again! Nicole, do you dare to bet on this?"

    Ian and Hugh Carter were dumbfounded. Yvette was s o enraged that she wanted to stand up and


    defend Nicole, but Julie pulled Yvette back and told her not to be impulsive.


    Eric’s eyebrows furrowed tighter. He was about to interrupt Keith when Nicole sneered and raised her


    eyebrows mockingly. "Sure, I ept."


    Nicole looked so scornful of Eric, as if he was not a worthy opponent.


    Keithughed at the fact that Nicole was ignorant and oblivious to how strong her opponent was.


    In the whole of Anta, Eric''s poker dice skills were unbeatable, even if he yed with his eyes closed.


    Back then, Eric won his first big cash windfall at Vegas, not to mention, these menial people in front of


    them were all insignificant characterspared to Eric.


    ''I can finally avenge myself today!’ Keith thought.


    Eric stretched out his hand. "Ladies first.”


    Nicole took the dice shaker on the table and shook it, then casually rested the back of her hand on it as


    she looked at Eric. "Your turn.”


    Eric looked at Nicole quizzically and frowned. It was obvious that Nicole did not take this game


    seriously.'' Does she truly not care whether she wins or loses this bet?''


    Keith was watching eagerly as if they had already won the game. ''Nicole is such a noob! Look at the


    way she shook the dice, how unprofessional! Does she think she can win with two simple shakes? No


    way!’


    Eric pondered for a moment, then casually lifted the dice cup. It was a four-of-a-kind, an expected win.


    He then nced at Nicole, who still looked unfazed.


    Keith was so excited that he almost jumped up. "Eerg, way to go! You used your usual skills. Here I


    thought that you might get soft-hearted..."


    Ian Carter pped at the side and was not surprised b y this. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Ludwig,


    Mr. Ferguson has never been soft-hearted towards Nicole, but at least we finally get to see Mr.


    Ferguson''s ability today.”


    "Why are youplimenting Eric? Are you trying to divert our attention and renege on the bet? Nicole,


    why don''t you let us see your hand? Don''t be a sore loser..."


    "Keith Ludwig! Empty vessels make the most noise, so shut the f*ck up!” Yvette could not help but


    rebuke.


    Nicole watched as the atmosphere suddenly became tense andughed lightly. Her slender fingers


    tapped the dice cup twice before she casually tipped it over. Before everyone had time to react, she


    took her purse and stood up. "I''m leaving, you guys carry on."


    Besides Yvette and Hugh who were both startled, Julie and Ian seemed to have already expected this


    result and were calm and unperturbed. 1


    The moment Keith saw Nicole''s dice, he just felt like dying.


    ''Five-of-a-kind! How could she get an upper hand over Eric? This woman just simply shook the dice on


    the table and was able to get five-of-a-kind?!''


    When Keith looked up again, the woman had already disappeared.


    Yvette gloatingly pped the table and smugly said," Mr. Ludwig, don''t forget to strip butt naked before


    leaving! As you just said, don’t be a sore loser..."


    "You...you''re cheating!" Keith''s face was flushed as all kinds of emotions shed by.


    "Cheating? Mr. Ludwig, you''re the one who wanted to y. These are the rules of the table, yet you


    dare say that we''re cheating when you lost? If you can’t afford t o lose, why y in the first ce? Mr.


    Ferguson, don''t you think so?"


    Yvette sneered and called Eric Ferguson out as she gnashed her teeth in anger.


    Keith looked at his best friend with big, innocent, pleading eyes. The words "save me" were written all


    over his face.


    Eric nced at Yvette, then swept a nce at Ian and Hugh before his gazended on Keith. "We


    lost."


    His face was calm and unmoved. At first, Eric felt it strange that the sound of the dice from his hand


    and Nicole''s hand were a little off. However, he was not the slightest bit upset that he lost. Instead, he


    even felt a little delighted. 2
