Chapter 451: Requirement
Benjamin really did not expect that rence would y such a trick for a bet.
He not only won Florence over, but also stepped on him casually.
Scheming ck-bellied bastard!
Damn it!
Benjamin cursed him inwardly with hatred but tried his best to control his emotions.
He said in a deep voice, “This round is a tie between me and rence. There are still two rounds left to
decide the winner. Let’s y the next round.”
Benjamin couldn’t live up to his image and was eager to start the next round. No one opposed him.
Stanford stood silently, his eyes deep and gloomy as he looked at rence carefully.
The more he looked at this man, the more he found him pleasing to the eye.
In the start of the second game, Florence was thendlord again.

Thinking that there was still a third game to decide the oue, they continued to y this round.
In this game, all of Florence’s cards were really crappy except the trump card being thendlord and it
was a definitive lose situation.
Florence didn’t carry even an ounce of hope and continued to y ording to the rules.
Originally, she had nned to struggle until the end seeing that she was soon going to lose. However,
unexpectedly, she didn’t know that Ernest and Benjamin’s cards were bad too. Every time they passed
her the cards, her cards were able to beat theirs one by one.
In the end, Florence won.
The referee said, “Miss Fraser wins this round.”
Florence looked at the board with astonishment and then at Ernest, “Did you throw the game?”
“Only a little bit.”
Ernest threw the rest of his cards on the table casually and said in a pampering tone, “You also yed
well.”
If he hadn’t lost intentionally, how could he make her win with such crappy cards.
Florence’s heart was like a shiny mirror filled with sweet happiness. She liked Ernest’s unscrupulous
pampering.
Benjamin paused in the middle of spreading the cards and looked angrily at Ernest almost unable to
restrain himself.
His cards were clearly way better in this round, but he helped Florence so much that she won.
Originally, he wanted to im credit but before he could say anything Ernest’s words “You also yed
well” made him choke on his words.
If he still said it, it was going to sound like Florence didn’t win on her own but gained advantage by
unfair means. If he still said it, far from being favored, he would be disliked.
Benjamin almost crushed the cards in his hands.
Seeing Benjamin’s expressions, Phoebe smiled mockingly, “Mr. Turner, you just lose two rounds. You
don’t seem to take defeat well.”
As soon as she said this, everyone’s attention went to Benjamin.
They all saw him frowning with gloomy expressions.
Stanford’s expressions darkened suddenly and his eyes shed sharply.
Benjamin snapped out of his thoughts abruptly, changing his expressions drastically, but still feeling
gloomy inwardly.
Even if he was not happy, he could not let anyone see his state of mind no matter what!
He quickly pulled a smile on his face and replied, “Why? Flory won, he is happy, of course, I am happy
too. I am just worried if Flory bes thendlord in the next round too. We can’t seem to find the
winner between me and rence in this game.”
He added after a pause, “But I am definitely over thinking. There should not be such a coincidence to
have Florence as thendlord for three consecutive rounds.”
He spoke as if talking to himself and circled around Phoebe’s question.
However, everyone had their own ideas about why on earth was his face so dark and gloomy.
This topic was very quickly exposed and then the third round began.
Unfortunately, even in the third round Florence was thendlord.
Due to the rules of the game, Florence couldn’t give up her position as thendlord to someone else to
y.
After this round, Florence won again.
With two wins and one defeat, Florence became the biggest winner in the game among the three
people.
She felt really helpless, “Then we still can’t find the winner, what should we do? An extra match?”
Ernest looked at Florence and said lightly.
“It doesn’t matter. It is a tie.”
With that, Ernest looked at Benjamin, “Mr. Turner, do you have any objections?”
What objection could Benjamin have? Although the one who proposed to bet on a cards game but
rence had the rhythm mastered from beginning to end.
Although, there was no victory or defeat, he had secretly suffered several losses.
If the fight continued, rence may have dug a few holes for him, waiting for him to jump into them.
Besides, Benjamin learned the game “Fight the Landlord” at thest-minutest night, he wasn’t good
enough topletely defeat rence. And even now, it ended in a tie which was pretty good for him.
In this way, he could trample rence to death with a two-to-zero result, humiliating him.
“Anyway, there are still two games left that are enough to find out the result. It doesn’t matter if this
game had no winner.”
Benjamin said with the generosity of a gentleman.
Both contestants had no objection so the others naturally had none too.
The betting ended in a tie.
Stanford secretly observed the two. He looked at rence, secretly shook his head and then nodded.
Stanford was very good at finding out someone’s moral character over trivial things.
Through this game of cards, he could almost easily see that rence and Benjamin both were
interested in Florence.
rence was very clever, serious and good at strategizing. This whole situation was under his control.
If he used his skills, then winning all three games was not going to be a problem for him. However, he
cared about other things too much, like Florence. He was too soft hearted and worried too much.
Although it was just a game of cards, it’s aspects also ranged from small to big. When it came to major
aspects in the future, rence might be concerned too much about Florence and her emotions, and
give up a lot of benefits and decisions. Attaching more attention to Florence and the feelings between
them was a good thing but it was also a fatal w.
For a man to achieve big things, this was the biggest hurdle in the way. If he really encountered a
matter of life and death, rence’s tenderness was going to be the main reason for his failure.
Stanford had always been ruthless, cold-blooded and indifferent in dealing with anything and he was
very much dissatisfied with this point of rence.
As for Benjamin, he was also one of the candidates for Florence’s future husband.
He was smart enough to handle things cleanly, even a bit unscrupulous. He was definitely going to
seed in his in his career. However, he attached too much importance to fame and profit and valued
benefit far above all else.
Although he wanted to marry Florence, but for him benefits were more important than emotions. A
business marriage with him was a good idea, but it was impossible to marry him for a happy life and to
be loved by heart.
Stanford couldn’t help but sigh. Neither if them were perfect enough. He didn’t want to keep either one
of them as his brother-inw.
His little sister should be with the best man in the world, only then…
“Stanford, what are you thinking about? They all left.”
Phoebe stood in front of Stanford, leaning in and shaking her hand in front of his face.
Only then did Stanford came back to his senses. He realized that there was no one else left in the
room, only him and Phoebe were left.
They didn’t even wait for him?
Intolerable! Those two really didn’t deserve to be his brother-inw.
“Let’s go! I’ll see how their marksmanship is. If they can’t even hit a score of hundred, they are not
qualified to pursue Florence.”
Phoebe’s eyes widened in astonishment. A hundred? That was ten shots in the bull’s eye. This kind of
marksmanship was extremely hard to achieve, wasn’t it making things difficult for
people?
