Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 44: That Eye Just Now Wasn't Peeping

It was obvious that his mood was good at the moment.

The atmosphere on site became even more subtle. Joseph had repeatedly lost face and finally realized that he shouldn't argue with Selena anymore. Continuing the conversation would only make him angrier. He took a deep breath and looked at the dealer. "Deal the cards."

The dealer made sure everyone was ready and then brought out the cards.

Many people were waiting to see the excitement around Selena, but there were also some who sympathized with her.

When she said she would pay back double without knowing the value of the chips, did that mean she would have to give Alex twenty billion later?

Moreover, a novice dared to play at an unlimited bet Texas Hold'em poker table. Even experienced players had to be careful in these high-risk gambling games.

And all the people at the table were top rich second generations, but they had never seen Selena's face before.

Selena kept her back straight, and the two people on her right had already placed their blind bets, one for one million and the other for two million.

It was her turn to speak.

She took a look at her two hole cards, thought for a moment, and then folded.

Everyone found her behavior particularly ridiculous.

Sofia, not far from Raymond, couldn't bear it any longer and spoke bluntly. "If you don't know how to play, don't take up a seat. We don't have time to watch someone monkey around here." Selena raised her eyebrows and looked at the dealer. "Excuse me, can't I fold?"

The dealer looked awkward. "You can."

However, since no community cards had been dealt yet and she hadn't even made it through one round of betting, folding now gave the impression that she didn't want to lose money, or that she couldn't afford it. Since that was the case, why sit in this position?

Anyone who dared to participate in an unlimited bet Texas Hold'em poker game had plenty of money. If you didn't have that kind of financial strength, why pretend to be rich?

The surrounding noise was getting louder, mixed with various ambiguous jokes.

On the second round, she followed a bet and lost one million.

On the third round, she followed a bet and lost one million again.

Only on the fourth round did Joseph speak in a snide tone. "You're only losing one million per round. There's no one as stingy as you here."

His words obviously struck a chord with many people.

"Get off if you don't know how to play. Don't lose face here."

"It's really boring. Women should go home and embroider or take care of their children. Why come here and mess around?"

The discussion gradually grew louder.

Despite all of this, Selena still only followed two bets on the fourth round and lost three million.

She was the person who lost the least in the entire room, and of course, Raymond lost the most.

But Raymond hadn't said much, and when looking at his cards, he just glanced lightly as though it was paper and not cash that was being wagered.

His fingers were long and powerful, like the perfect joints of a porcelain, so exquisite that people couldn't help but stare closely.

During the waiting period, Selena looked over again.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

She wasn't embarrassed at all and just laughed generously, as if that eye just now wasn't peeping.

Raymond calmly lowered his gaze, resting his hand on the armrest of his chair, his face calm and without any extra expression.

In Sofia's eyes, Selena's behavior was shameless. In front of so many people, she still dared to openly seduce Raymond.

Damn it, what should she do when Selena lost everything later?

Even Alex, who was sitting at the table, couldn't help but look at her at this moment.

Selena seemed to feel no pressure and when it was her turn to speak, she took a look at her hole cards.

This time, without any hesitation, she followed a bet of four million.

Joseph sneered on the side and sarcastically said, "Am I seeing things? Even the miser is willing to put down some money now?"
