Chapter 391
At the poker table, the game was heating up, and only Brielle had the guts to
raise the stakes, pushing in a massive twelve million. If anyone wanted to stay in
the game, they'd have to match that hefty sum,
Some players folded, but the pot was swelling, and was now over eighty million.
The dealer confirmed the end of the first round and flipped the community cards:
a pair of fours. and the King of Hearts.
As the second round of betting began, the player to Brielle’s right put in their
chips. After a moment's thought. Brielle casually said, “Check.”
Her words triggered laughter around the table, not just from Connor but from the
onlookers as well. Dustin, seated to Brielle’s left, couldn't help but chuckle,
resting his head in his hand. Brielle, puzzled by the reaction, turned to ask,
“What's so funny?”
Dustin found her innocent confusion utterly charming. “You can't just check after
someone's raised,” he said with a light-hearted flick to her forehead. “It's either
put up or fold, darling. Don’t you know the basics?”
The murmurs started to spread through the crowd.
“I thought she was some kind of poker pro with that cool act of hers.”
“Who gave her the nerve to sit there, not knowing squat?”
“This is no-limit- she could lose billions if she messes around.”
Connor was practically giddy with delight. It seemed she didn’t even grasp the
fundamental rules. “So naive,” he thought, “Max would never fall for someone as
clueless as her.”
Undisturbed by the chatter, Brielle tossed her cards into the muck. “Then I fold.”
Her fold brought the round to a swift end as the seasoned players made quick
decisions.
Brielle’s first round was a comedy of errors in the eyes of the onlookers, raising
blindly and trying to check when it wasn’t allowed.
That round saw Connor rake in three hundred million. A passing Bunny got a firm
smack on the behind from Connor, who then slipped a couple of chips down her
cleavage with a flourish. Whistles filled the air as she blew a bold kiss his way.
After his show, Connor sneered at Brielle. “Brielle, you can still back out now.
Spend a couple of nights with me, and I'll cover what you lose so you won't owe
Mr. Lynch.”
Before Brielle could respond, Dustin chuckled. “Connor, even the ones who've
just held my hand would get more than a measly twelve million from me. Be
careful with your words.” His eyes twinkled with amusement.
Connor quickly apologized, “My apologies, Mr. Lynch. I just don’t want you to be
fooled by this

After four rounds, Brielle had lost the least, but the spectators were growing
restless.
“If you don’t know how to play, step down and let me take over.”
“Yeah, just hogging a seat and folding every hand. You should have picked up
the basic rules by now, right?”
“Typical woman, too timid. If you know your place, why not just be a pretty face
and stay out of the game?”
Hearing these comments, Connor's face was the picture of arrogance. He had
won two billion over the four rounds, emerging as the biggest winner at the table.
Of course, the biggest loser was Dustin — the infamous Money Burner.
