Henry frowned before he lowered his head and asked, “Do you want to take another card?”
Upon hearing that, Janet smiled lightly and covered her cards before watching Ace to see if he would take another card.
After taking a deep breath, Ace took another card, his expression dark.
When everyone saw Janet slouching on the couch lazily, they all started mocking her.
“This girl’s mentality is really weak. I can’t believe that she has already given up!”
Someone else sighed and said, “I was still thinking that she might actually be able to win against Master Ace. It seemed like I overestimated her!”
“Seriously? Why is she wasting Master Ace’s time?!”
“I knew she would lose before the match even began, so I’m not surprised!”
“Exactly! After all, Master Ace is still the second best gambler in the world!”
When Ace got his third card, he sighed in relief before raising his eyebrows as he taunted Janet, who was in front of him, by saying, “Are you going to take any more cards?”
Right then, Janet frowned and acted as if she was feeling conflicted. However, after a few seconds of consideration, she agreed. “Sure!”
After Mason and Henry heard her, Henry immediately grabbed Janet’s hand and exclaimed, “Janet, that’s enough!”
At the same time, Mason frowned when he noticed the huge tanned hand on Janet’s fair one. Then, he shot Henry a glacial look.
Terrified, Henry quickly retracted his hand before he tried to convince Janet against it. “Your points are already enough, and you’ll go bust if you take more!”
However, Janet had already taken another card from the table before Henry could finish what he was saying. Immediately, Henry’s face darkened and he thought to himself, It’s over. We should just pack up and go home!
After that, Janet blinked before she revealed her first two cards slowly.
It was a King of Hearts along with a Queen of Diamonds. At this moment, she already had 20 points with her, but she was still holding another card.
When Ace noticed that, he couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like you still haven’t understood the rules of this game!”
Now that Ace had said something, everyone else started chiming in as well.
“I’ve never seen any gambler taking more cards after getting 20 points. What a fool!”
“Haha! Oh she’s a fool for sure! She still hasn’t even understood the rules of this game!”
“Exactly! What an embarrassment! This is seriously such a waste of my time. I’m leaving.”
Still, Janet, who was sitting on the couch, looked nonchalant as she blinked and told Ace, “I’ll reveal my card now.”
In response, Ace pursed his lips and smiled. He really couldn’t be bothered to entertain her further, so he would rather not say anything.
However, the crowd went dead silent the next second as Janet revealed her last card. She then raised her eyebrows before exclaiming firmly, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my cards did not bust!”
The card that was revealed was the Ace of Diamonds, and all three cards totaled up to a sum of 21 points.
Everyone gasped. This girl actually managed to pull it off?!
Even Ace’s face had darkened so much that it was downright scary. He glared at the girl in front of him intently while thinking, She dared to take another card when she already had 20 points! Is she a genius or just a lucky fool?
This was a great psychological war. Janet smirked before she turned to Ace and commented, “It’s your turn to reveal your cards now.”
Right then, Ace tightened his grip on the cards that he was holding before revealing them one by one, while everyone held their breath and focused on the cards on Ace’s hand.
However, he retracted his hand slightly when he was left with the last card; it seemed like he was trying to avoid something.
On the other hand, Janet was staring at the two cards on the table. A five and a King of Diamonds. He has a total of 15 points. If the card in Ace’s hand is more than six, it would mean that he has lost without a doubt.
Upon noticing that Ace was hesitating, Janet raised her eyebrows before picking up a sweet and throwing it at Ace’s card to make him drop it.
“You—” Ace stared at her intently. How could she force me to reveal my card like that?
The crowd started voicing out for Ace when they saw that.
“Is there something wrong with you?! How could you reveal his card without his consent? You should know that it’s an honor to be able to play with Ace in the first place!”
