Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 776

Chapter 776 

Ronnie raised his hand and picked up the cards on the table. Without even looking at the croupier, he said indifferently, “Did you hear that? This is a blatant warning. Don’t even look at another man’s woman, let alone covet her.” 

When the croupier heard this, he lowered his eyes in panic and methodically shuffled and dealt the cards. 

Rachel was about to take the card from the croupier, but David took it first. 

Seeing this, Rachel bowed her head to hide the faint smile on her face. “Well, David is jealous again.” 

This time, they played blackjack, too. 

The buzz-cut man and Chris delivered the chips to them. 

Rachel glanced at the cards and threw out 2 million dollars worth of chips. 

Ronnie could not help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the chips being suddenly thrown out. “Miss Grey, you seem to be always so confident.” 

However, it was precisely her self-confidence and cold temperament that fascinated Ronnie. 

Hearing this, Rachel raised her eyebrows. “It’s only 2 million dollars. Could it be that Mr. Diekens can’t afford to lose?” 

Ronnie sneered. A feeling of being despised arose in his heart, making him inexplicably angry. “It’s just 2 million dollars.” 

As he spoke, he casually threw out 2 million dollars worth of chips, and then he threw out another 4 million dollars worth of chips. 

“Mr. Diekens, you are so generous,” Rachel commented. 

These words made Ronnie feel awkward. 

He knew that Rachel still hated him because of Lone Wolf, so he pursed his lips and did not say anything. 

He showed his cards, which added up to exactly 20 points. 

Chapter 776 

Rachel’s cards, on the other hand, added up to 18 points. Clearly, she lost. 

Soon, the second round started, and Rachel threw out 6-million-dollar chips without looking at the cards. 

Ronnie naturally threw out the corresponding chips, too. 

The two of them had a contest with each other. Seeing that there were more and more chips, even the croupier, who was used to seeing big scenes, could not help but feel dizzy. 

Perhaps Lady Luck was dozing off. Rachel had been unlucky so far, and she lost in the second round, too. 

Rachel held her chin with one hand and sighed faintly. Her worried expression did not make people feel disgusted, instead, her pitiful posture made people feel pity for her. 

Looking at the big pile of chips in front of him, Ronnie smiled gloatingly. “David Jones, it looks as if the Harbor Dock is destined to be mine!” 

“Is that so?” Without waiting for David to speak, Rachel asked, “Maybe I can win back all the chips the next round, can’t I?” 

After the croupier heard her words, a hint of disdain flashed across his 

eyes. 

The people who came to the casino would neither accept their fate nor know how to stop loss in time. They would, like Rachel, only hold to the idea of leaving things to chance and think that they would make a 

comeback sooner or later. 

Hence, they kept sinking into the mud until they could not extricate themselves. 

The third round began. Rachel still looked nonchalant, but her gaze fell on the cards in the croupier’s hand. Her red lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face. 

Looking at the cards, Rachel pushed out all the chips in front of her. “All in!” 

Ronnie raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this. With a confident posture, he pushed out all the chips in front of him, too. “Call!” 

At this moment, the chips at the center of the table were already equal to two small targets.

This meant that once Ronnie won, not only could he take away all the chips on the table, but he could also easily obtain the north of the Harbor Dock. 

Ronnie was the first to show his cards. The smile on his face made him look more handsome. “Another 20 points. I’ll surely win this round!” 

“Is that so?” Rachel held her chin with one hand and unhurriedly turned over the cards in front of her one by one. “Unfortunately, you are only a point away.” 

Her cards added up to exactly 21 points. 

Rachel’s cards were a point more than Ronnie’s! 

Ronnie looked at her cards with his eyes wide open. 

The probability of 20 points appearing on the gambling table was very low, let alone 21 points. 

However, Rachel’s cards added up to exactly 21 points, neither more nor 

less. 

After a moment, Ronnie composed himself and raised his chin proudly. He snorted softly. “You are lucky!” 

“I’m not really lucky.” Rachel crossed her legs and leaned lazily against the seat. “It’s all thanks to this handsome man’s help. If he hadn’t tampered with the cards, I wouldn’t have won.” 

After the croupier heard what Rachel had said, he looked pale and his eyes were filled with panic. 

In fact, this handsome croupier had been secretly tampering with the cards during the three rounds of gambling. 

He could tell that Ronnie treated Rachel exceptionally well, so he simply wanted to do Ronnie a favor and fulfill his wish. 

He thought that he had done it flawlessly, but he hadn’t expected Rachel to have seen everything. 

“So, handsome boy, you’re the reason why I was able to win everything back tonight.” Rachel glanced at him with a faint smile. 

“Heh!” The tip of Ronnie’s tongue pressed against his palate as he let out a light laugh. The laugh was short, but it made people feel nervous and 

jumpy. 

Chapter 776 

He threw the cards in his hand on the table and said coldly, “Who asked you to do this?” 

The croupier felt as if his heart were being gripped by a hand. He held his breath for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat unknowingly seeped out of his forehead and slowly slid down his temples. 

His fear of Ronnie made his legs weak, but he had no choice but to force himself to stay where he was.
