A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 384

Simon stood up with a smile and patted Douglas on the shoulder.

It wasn't that he underestimated Douglas, but with his level of intelligence about the same as Yvette's, the chances of him beating Sierra were slim.

However, he enjoyed the spectacle, so he gladly gave up his seat.

Daniel saw right through him, and his lips curled up unconsciously, looking forward to the show.

Before Douglas could even sit down, Melody eagerly said, "I haven't played cards with you guys in so long. I kind of miss it."

Hearing that, Douglas, who was about to lower himself onto the chair, immediately stood back up and said attentively, "Then, you should sit. I'll help you think of strategies."

Melody gave a reserved smile. "Are you sure? Maybe you should play instead."

There was no way Douglas would disappoint her. He pulled her straight into the chair and then grabbed another chair to sit behind her.

"Go ahead and play. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's on me."

Yvette looked away, unable to bear the sight. She scooted farther from them.

Upon noticing her movement, Melody's expression darkened slightly. "Yvette, we haven't seen each other in so long, and you're still the same as before."

She was as annoying as before.

"Heh." Yvette let out a perfunctory chuckle.

Douglas shot her a helpless glare, only to be punched in the back by Simon the next second. Rubbing his sore shoulder, he quickly changed the topic. "Come on, let's deal the cards. It'll be time for dinner soon."

Ever since finding out that Sierra had married Theo, Melody had made it a point to gather information about her. Every account she heard was the same—Sierra had chased after Benson relentlessly, lowering herself to an embarrassing degree.
