Master of his heart

Chapter 399
Connor's smile was fraying at the edges, a clear sign that he wouldn't need to
deal with Brielle himself; she seemed perfectly capable of causing her own
downfall.
$77777uddenly, the overhead speakers in the hall crackled to life, broadcasting a
voice crisp with authority.
“Ladies and gentlemen, our casino’s state-of-the-art surveillance system offers
360-degree, no-blind—spot monitoring, capturing every nuanced movement—
even the trajectory of a single hair strand. Throughout this game, we've observed
closely, and I can assure you, Ms. Brielle has played a fair hand.”
No one doubted the capabilities of the casino’s security. Even the slickest card
sharks known to grace the world’s gambling hot spots could pull no tricks here.
Brielle, a mere rookie, stood. no chance of cheating under the watchful eyes of
countless cameras, let alone in full view of a captivated audience. Not to mention
the numerous staff backstage who had their eyes glued to this very game,
making any deception on Brielle’s part next to impossible.
Connor felt as if his soul had been yanked out of his body. He slumped
backward, collapsing onto the floor. It was over. All was lost.
All those chips were squandered-his company’s last lifeline was gone.
14.3 billion. He could've won 14.3 billion, but Brielle, that wretched woman, had
ruined everything. And now, he was in debt—4 billion in the hole.
Trembling took over Connor’s frame as he watched Brielle return 4.3 billion in
chips to Dustin with a smile playing on her lips. “Mr. Lynch, consider this doubled
and returned.”
Dustin raised an eyebrow playfully. “Should I say you're lucky?”
Others might have been unsettled sitting next to Brielle, but her expression
remained impassive throughout, a blend of audacity and charm.
Brielle had the remaining 10 billion in chips converted into a check, her smile
curving deeper. “There are 1,326 possible two—card combinations in a 52—card
deck, and when you factor in the four suits, each non—paired hand has 16
variations, and each off-suited non—pair hand has 12. Given the pairs you and
Mr. Hatfield held, it narrowed down the range for the last community card. Your
blockers were the most decisive cards in determining the odds.”
Dustin chuckled, draping an arm around her shoulder to halt her explanation. “So
it's not luck. but card counting?”
Brielle nodded with a spark in her eyes. “But odds can be so unpredictable.”
“Such brilliance—not at all surprised by your academic accolades.”
The title of valedictorian, in the eyes of people like Dustin, held little value. Yet
the more he observed Brielle, the more he was taken by her—she was smart,
beautiful, and gutsy. He took Brielle’s hand, gently kissing it-a gesture devoid of
any untoward implication, simply an

expression of delight.
“Little Bri. 'm growing quite fond of you. How about you come with me...”
Dustin's offer was cut short by Connor’s bellowing. “Bitch! You vile bitch! I don’t
believe it! I don’t believe this!”
Connor's rage was swiftly quelled as burly security guards dragged him away; his
figure was the epitome of disarray.
