A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 

Jonathan replied indifferently, “Odd rules against odd people. Isn’t that fitting?” 

Cameron hadn’t been at the scene of what happened to Thomas before, but he heard about it from Vincent. 

And he could sense that the sudden passing of Thomas had dealt a significant blow to Jonathan, so he had no sympathy for Yolanda. With a heavy heart, he patted Jonathan’s shoulder and advised, “Stay in control. Don’t get yourself involved.” 

Jonathan nodded slightly. 

After Yolanda recited the family rules, Jonathan said nothing. Thus, she just stood still and dared not to move. 

Since someone nasty stood blankly in the room, everyone was not as active as before. 

Jonathan suddenly suggested, “Let’s play card games.” 

“Great! Count me in,” Queena agreed first. 

She had secretly learned at the side when Vincent played card games before. Since then, she thought it was interesting and always wanted to find someone to play with her. 

In disgust, Vincent knocked on Queena’s head. “You are a university student, How can you play card games?” 

Queena covered her head and said resentfully, “You played card games when you were in university. Why can’t I?” 

“Because I’m your brother. I was the one who took care of you when you were just a baby,” Vincent remarked. 

Queena puffed out her cheeks and said nothing for a long time. 

Vincent and Queena grew up depending on each other. Vincent was not only the elder brother but also played the role of father to Queena. 

In the end, Queena didn’t get to play the game as she wished. 

The card game they were mentioning was specifically poker. 

Vincent, Cameron, and Jonathan had been ready at the table for the game. 

Liam wasn’t interested in playing poker and wanted Cynthia to take his place. 

But Cynthia had a trauma on poker and refused to join. 

Finally, the men all sat at the table for the game. 

Queena was still upset at Vincent for not letting her join the game, so she went directly behind Cameron to watch. “Hmph! You only care about your own fun and leave me out. I curse you for having rotten luck tonight!” 

“You’d better not ask for living expenses from me,” Vincent responded. 

Vincent and Queena were both unwilling to back down while bickering. 

Cameron moved slightly to the side and took a stool for Queena to sit aside. “It’s okay, Queena. I’ll give you all the money I won today.” 

“Thank you, Cameron,” Queena thanked in an intimate tone. 

Seeing Queena speaking intimately to others, Vincent frowned with mixed emotions. 

After a few rounds, Vincent didn’t lose, but Jonathan lost several rounds. 

Liam, Vincent, and Cameron exchanged glances secretly, knowing Jonathan’s poker skills weren’t usually like that. They could see that he was deliberately losing the game that day. 

Sitting between Liam and Jonathan, Cynthia could tell that Jonathan had made several mistakes even with her limited poker skills. 

But as she watched both sides play, she dared not to remind him. 

Just after another loss, Jonathan suddenly stood up and kicked Yolanda, standing silently aside, on the leg. “Your turn.” 

“I don’t know the game.” Yolanda waved her hands in fear. 

She sensed that Jonathan was trying to punish her again.

“Did you recite the family rules in vain just now?” Jonathan glanced coldly at her sideways. 

“I really don’t-” Yolanda wanted to refuse but was pulled into the seat by Jonathan. 

Her elbow hit the corner of the table, and her face turned pale with pain. 

“You’d better play it carefully. I’ve lost all my money. If you lose again, you’ll have to find a way to pay it back yourself,” Jonathan warned and pulled a chair to sit, staring at her gloomily. 

Yolanda tried to stand up. 

Although she knew some winning techniques, she didn’t know how to count the points. Besides, she could tell Jonathan was deliberately losing to ruin the game’s luck. With poor skills, it was difficult for her to win. 

Seeing Yolanda trying to stand up, Jonathan lost his patience and warned in a chilling voice, “Last warning, sit down.” 

Yolanda could only sit still in her seat obediently. 

Seeing Yolanda, who used to be arrogant, becomes

Hearing that, Cynthia didn’t refuse anymore. 

After watching two women sitting at the table one after another, Vincent lost the fun and was about to ask Queena to replace him. 

However, Cameron was one step ahead of him and let Queena sit in his seat. 

Vincent was so angry that he pointed at Queena and scolded, “You are such a betrayer!” 

“Well, you didn’t let me play it just now. It’s too late to think of me now.” Queena was so glad she could finally join the game and ignored Yolanda’s participation. 

“Don’t get too cocky. With your skills, let’s see who will pay for you if you lose later,” Vincent reminded. 

Cameron patted Vincent’s shoulder. “Buddy, don’t worry about it. Since Queena takes over my place, I’ll be responsible for her result.” Then, he gently patted the back of Queena’s head and reassured her, “Don’t worry. The money will be yours if you win today, and I’ll pay for your loss.” 

Queena replied, “Thank you, Cameron.”
