Chapter 450: Give up the Country for the Sake of a Beauty
In Anlero Holiday Manor…
After arriving at the manor, they booked the whole manor and asked those irrelevant customers to
leave.
It was the first time for the waiters and waitresses in this manor to serve such distinguished guests, and
they were all prudent and carefully.
As Benjamin had required before, the first set of theirpetition was Blind Hookey.
But Benjamin said, “It’s boring to y normal Blind Hookey, we should y something funny.”
Florence secretly knitted her brows. It was simply a card game, what tricks were Benjamin scheming
again?
“Flory likes to y ‘Fight the Landlord’. How’s it? Let’s y this game. The judge will join us. Best-of-
three-set.”
Benjamin looked towards Florence gently and affectionately.
It seemed like he was suggesting ying ‘Fight the Landlord’, but in fact he was expressing his
affection to Florence. He wanted to y the game that she liked and even though he didn’t know how
to y this game, he was willing to learn it for the sake of Florence.
Generally speaking, Florence was supposed to be moved by his sincerity.
But indeed, she furrowed her brows and felt that Benjamin was really boring.
Didn’t he realize that no matter what he did for her and no matter how he did them, she would not have
any feelings for him?
The thing happenedst night also damaged Stanford’s expression of Benjamin.
Stanford said, “Let’s get started.”
The judge was good at every item and of course he would not have any objection to serve them.
When the judge intended to sit down and join the game, Ernest spoke slowly, “Wait a minute.”
He strode to Florence and slightly lowered his head to look at Florence affectionately.
He curled his lips into a pampering smile, “Now that you like to y this game, I would just regard it a
pastime and apany you to y it. Can you join us?”
Florence was stunned. It was apetition between Ernest and Benjamin, yet he asked her to join
this?
Although the game ‘Fight the Landlord’ shall be yed by at least three yers, if she joined them, she
would definitely helped Ernest secretly.
Could it be that Ernest wanted her to help him?
Florence’s eyes lit up when thinking of this. She said smilingly, “All right. I will join you.”
Benjamin’s expression turned gloomy. Of course he knew what Florence was thinking. If she joined
them, she would definitely helped Ernest secretly.
In this case, he would have to fight against two persons at the same time and it would be difficult for
him to win the game.
Damn it!
Benjamin secretly twisted his fingers. He pressed his thin lips together, yet couldn’t utter any word to
refuse this.
At the beginning, he suggested to y ‘Fight the Landlord’ for the sake of Florence, but now rence
said that it was a pastime activity and invited Florence to join them. Wouldn’t it be a p on his own
face if he refused this?
But Benjamin had no other choice. He forced a smile and said, “This is the best. Flory,e here, let
me apany you.”
His tone of voice gave people a feeling that he specially came here to apany Florence.
Florence rolled her eyes heavenward in disdain. She didn’t give a nce to Benjamin and directly
walked to the table and sat down.
Ernest sat on the left of her and Benjamin on the right.
For the sake of fairness, it was the judge to deal the cards.
Florence was the ndlord’ in the first round.
Florence felt a bit confused when she got the cards, “If I lose this round, which of you shall be the
winner?”
In this round of the game, Ernest and Benjamin were teammates. Nevertheless, this was apletion
was between them to and one of them shall be the winner and the other the loser.
Ernest nced at Florence and curled his lips into a light smile, “It doesn’t matter. Best-of-three-set.
He meant that they could battle it out in the next two rounds.
And they would still y this round and just regard it to apany Florence.
Florence felt warm and smiled at Ernest.
Watching their interaction, Benjamin felt a gush of anger burning in his heart.
If he had expected this, he would not propose to y ‘Fight the Landlord’ because he looked like a third
wheel here. Moreover, it gave rence an opportunity to flirt with Florence. Benjamin found this
proposal disadvantageous for himself.
Phoebe watched the show delightedly aside. Thepetition hadn’t begun, but the invisible battle was
so wonderful.
She whispered in Stanford’s ear, “Mr. Fraser, who do you think that will win thispetition?”
Stanford pressed his thin lips together and nced over the three around the table with his sharp eyes.
Yet his answer was casual, “You will know the answer when it’s over.”
Phoebe chucked and said confidently, “My cousin will undoubtedly be the winner.”
“Rally?”
Stanford asked with aplicated expression.
When they were talking about this, this round of game began.
As Florence was the ndlord’ and she got cards, the possibility for her to win the game was quite high.
Ernest was the prior yer to Florence. It seemed like the cards he got were bad and every time
Florence could y her cards.
But Benjamin seemed to have gotten good cards and he tried his best to prevent Florence from ying
her cards.
Florence felt it difficult to win this round.
Holding the cards in his hand, Benjamin curled his lips into a light smile, “Flory, no matter what cards
you y now, I can suppress you. The cards in your hand are less powerful than mine.”
Florence furrowed her brows. It seemed like that Benjamin had calcted the cards and deduced what
cards she left.
Damn it, ying card game with him was like ying transparent cards.
Florence felt upset and took a nce at the cards on the table again. She calcted that if all the
higher cards were in Benjamin’s hand, he could probably not be able to y cards after her solo chain.
Therefore, Florence yed a solo chain (3-4-5-6-7).
“I win.”
Benjamin curled his lips into a triumphant smile and threw all the cars in his hand onto the table.
It was abination of 6-7-8-9-10.
Florence widened her eyes in astonishment, “Benjamin, you lied to me?”
If he didn’t say those words just now, Florence would not decide to y the chain and would definitely
y them in the end.
Benjamin replied with a smile, “Nothing is too deceitful inpetition.”
Techniques are important in card games and it was reasonable for him to adopt this trick.
Florence could only me herself for being fooled.
She felt sulky and ufortable.
Right at this moment, Phoebe said with shock, “Look at rence’s cards. His cards are all powerful
and he even has two Jokers. He could undoubtedly win the game.”
After finishing the words, she looked towards rence and asked, “rence, your cards are so
powerful, but you didn’t suppress the ndlord’ just now. Are you trying to lose the game on purpose?”
Benjamin said with dissatisfaction, “rence, we’re teammates. But you deliberately tried to lose the
game to Florence, can you please show some respects to the rules?”
Florence also looked towards Ernest in shock and found that Ernest’s cards were actually powerful.
And they were in wonderfulbination.
If he yed his cards to suppress Florence before, he would have won the game earlier.
Ernest still remained m under their curious and scrutinizing gazes. With a smile on his face, he
looked at Florence lovingly, “It’s not important whether I can win the game or not. I just hope that you
can be happy.”
Florence’s heart skipped one beat and her face flushed.
Phoebe eximed jealously, “Wow, rence, you’re so romantic. You’re like the emperor who gives up
the country for the sake of a beauty.”

Benjamin’s behavior formed a striking contrast. He even cheated Florence to win the game.
Such a striking contrast made Benjamin’s expression turn extremely hideous.
