Chapter: 363
Frowning deeply, Marcus turned to see Millie's flushed face.
With a deep, theatrical frown, Marcus turned to gaze upon Millie's rosy and
intoxicated face. The overpowering scent of the fine, exquisite Lafite wine
lingered around her. Could it be that she had indulged in the wine gifted by his
partner? This delicate creature, who couldn't even handle a single drop, had
imbibed!
The two alien strangers at the table, whose origins traced back to distant
provinces, were utterly flabbergasted and consumed with curiosity. This
mysterious and audacious woman stormed in and practically hurled herself at
Marcus.
Was it not common knowledge that Mr. Thomas harbored no interest in women
whatsoever?
“You drank!” Marcus intoned, his voice low and ominous.
“Just a tiny bit. It's of no consequence,” Millie countered, her head held high and
her eyes a misty blur.
Mylo cleared his throat with a cough that resonated throughout the room,
announcing, “Let me introduce. This is Mrs. Thomas, Marcus’ wife. Cease your
bewildered gawking! Let's proceed with our game.”
“It's Mrs. Thomas.”
Millie's voice rang out like a clarion call.
“I want to play cards!”
With Marcus’ sturdy support, Millie took her place at his side. She snatched the
card from his hand with brazen impertinence, claiming it as her own, and cast the
smallest one into the midst of the table.
“It's your tum,” she declared, her voice dripping with confidence.
Everyone was struck dumb, frozen in astonishment. It was not yet Millie's turn to
act.
“Then I will cast aside humility. My cards, it seems, outclass yours entirely.” With
a cunning, sly grin, Mylo made his play.
As the game wore on, Millie’s performance declined. Though she had the means
to play, her muddled mind led her to believe otherwise.
She lost time and time again.

“I will take the winnings myself. I fear
you won't manage to count it,” Moly
teased, his face alight with rare
victory. He almost never triumphed

Today, his windfall was astronomical, all thanks to Millie's lack of skill.
“Take it!” Millie commanded, her voice thundering. “Take what you must. I have a
pounding headache and no patience for counting money. Handle it yourselves.”

Marcus’ frown deepened into a
canyon. She, who was normally so
frugal, was now throwing money
away as if it were nothing. She had
lost nearly two thousand dollars in a
single round, yet she remained utterly
unfazed. The content is on

Mylo gleefully took his share, while the others tremulously collected theirs, palms
sweaty with nervous anticipation.

The subsequent round commenced
once more. While Millie was
organizing her cards, she abruptly
rose and settled on the sturdy thighs
of Marcus. Marcus occupied the
middle position, a favorable spot for
her engagement in card games. The
