Chapter 144 Hiram''s Jealousy


    When Rachel went downstairs, she found there was a luxury casino.


    She immediately spotted the handsome man sitting at the table in the center of the casino, and


    although his hair was a little messy, he still looked attractive and elegant.


    She walked towards him.


    Hiram had been born with a certain charm that made sure there was never ack of women around


    him.


    At that very moment, he was sitting between two hot girls. One was pouring wine for him while the


    other was taking poker chips for him.


    Rachel stopped in front of the gambling table and stared at the man who was being treated like a king.


    He was holding his chin with one hand and surveying his cards with the slightest trace of a smile on his


    lips. It seemed like he was going to win.


    "Give me the poker chips!" Rachel ordered.


    "Hey! Who are you?"


    "I''m his wife."


    Rachel grabbed the te of poker chips from the woman who had questioned her and put it on the


    table before taking a seat beside Hiram.


    "I couldn''t find you after we came in. Why didn''t you tell me you were here?" she asked.


    Hiram smiled innocently at her and said, "Since you came here to apany your best friend, I didn''t


    want to bother you."


    Still holding onto the poker chips, Rachel said, "You should have told me where you were at least!"


    Hiram took out a pile of poker chips from the te and put them on the table. He wrapped his arm


    around her waist and whispered in her ear, "You''ve found me, haven''t you?"


    "Mr. Rong has added one million. What about you, Mr. Wang?"


    The waiter standing beside them asked a half-bald man.


    Hearing this, Rachel nced at the poker chips in her hands and found, to her surprise, that each


    poker chip was equal to 5000! Looking at that pile of red poker chips, she couldn''t help worrying.


    "Take it easy, it''s just a small wager. When I have spare time, I''ll show you what real gambling is!"


    Hiram pinched her on the waist and said with smile.


    "I don''t want to watch, I''m afraid I''ll get a heart attack, " Rachel said. Having grown up as an obedient


    girl in amon family, she wasn''t used to seeing rich people gamble.


    While she watched anxiously, Celine walked over.


    "Rachel!"


    Hearing someone calling her, Rachel turned and spotted Celine. She stood up and walked towards her.


    "Hi, Celine!"


    Wayne had alsoe with Celine.


    However, Celine didn''t seem to be in a good mood, so Rachel took her to a quiet corner and asked,


    "What''s wrong? Wayne is a nice man, that''s why I introduced him to you, but you look like you''re not


    satisfied with him."


    Celine drew her hand back from Rachel''s hands and said with a gloomy expression, "Rachel, Wayne is


    interested in you, not me!"


    "What?


    Listen, Celine, Wayne and I did get along well for a while, but so much time has already passed since


    then, and I''m already married to Hiram now. It''s impossible for things to happen between us. So don''t


    worry, " Rachel said, trying tofort her.


    "But you''re the only one in his heart. I''ve tried to change the subject several times, but he kept bringing


    the conversation back to you, " Celine said, a little resentfully.


    Last time, she was interested in Patrick, but he insisted on sending Rachel home instead of her and


    ignored her on the way to her home.


    As far as Celine was concerned, he was an arrogant and unreasonable man. But unlike Patrick, Wayne


    was gentle and modest, so Celine had thought that they had a chance of taking things further. But to


    her disappointment, Wayne seemed to be interested only in Rachel. Their conversation had triggered


    her jealousy.


    "Sorry, Celine. I guess because Wayne and I already know each other, he still has feelings for me. I


    should have thought about it before I introduced him to you, " Rachel apologized, feeling upset that


    Celine was sad because of her.


    Celine immediately smiled and said, "Come on, I admit I was feeling a little jealous just now, but I feel


    okay after talking to you. Wayne is a nice man, andpared to Mr. Yan, he''s much easier to get along


    with. Maybe I can take advantage of your rtionship to go on more dates with him."


    Just then, Wayne came over and said to Rachel with a mild smile, "Rachel, people have begun dancing


    upstairs. May I dance with you?"


    "Er... Wayne, I have to apany another friend of mine. Can you invite Celine to dance with you for


    the first dance? I''lle upstairs soon, and then we dance, okay?" Rachel declined Wayne politely,


    pulling Celine over.


    Wayne looked a little surprised, but he nodded and said, "Okay, dance with me when youe


    upstairs."


    Then he turned to Celine and asked her with a smile, "Shall we go, Celine?"


    Celine held his arm and shot a smile at Rachel before they went upstairs.


    When Rachel came back to the gambling table, she was shocked. Where were the piles of poker


    chips?


    All of them were gone!


    "Hiram, where''s my five million?" Rachel had counted the poker chips on the te just now, and it was


    five million in total.


    "I lost them, "


    Hiram said casually like he didn''t care about it at all. Then he stood up and pulled Rachel towards the


    sitting area.

    "Ah? But when I saw you, you had almost won. How did you lose all the money in a minute?" Rachel


    was distressed. Since they were a couple, how could she feel rxed after seeing Hiram lose such a


    big amount of money?


    "Who is that guy? He seems to know you well." Hiram had been watching Rachel speak to a stranger a


    while before, and he knew from the way the man had looked at her that he was fascinated with her.


    After seeing that scene, he was not in the mood to y poker.


    Rachel knew who he was asking about, and she didn''t have anything to hide. She said, "He is one of


    the men I dated before. At the beginning, we got along well with each other, butter on, we realized


    that we weren''t a good match, so we broke up and didn''t contact each other again."


    Hiram raised his eyebrows, then he sat on the sofa, held her shoulder and asked her, "So you two had


    a romance?"


    Rachel shook her head and said with a mouth full of fruit, "No, just a few dates. We kind of liked each


    other when we met for the first time, so we kept in touch for a while, but we separated after several


    dates."


    "Oh? You didn''t feel bad about it? And you went on several dates with him?" Hiram said with gritted


    teeth, unconsciously putting more stress on her shoulder.


    "It hurts. Can you be gentle?" Rachel pulled his hand down from her shoulder right away. She stood up


    and said, "I''m hungry. I''m going to go upstairs and get something to eat. Will you go with me?"


    "Go ahead, I want to try my luck again." Hiram nced at the gambling table.


    Upstairs, the room was filled with champagne and beautiful people who were dancing happily.


    Rachel sat appreciating the people dancing while she had some snacks.


    She noticed that the party wasn''t only for single men and women. A few men who already seemed to


    be in their fifties were holding young girls and dancing affectionately.


    When the first dance was over, Wayne released Celine and walked towards Rachel.
