Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2141

Amiee was on her feet without a word, trailing behind them.

Emily eyed the cards in her hand, hesitating, while Charlie, ever the bold one, tossed another couple of chips into the pot.

Leaning close, Evelyn whispered to Estelle, "How much is one chip worth?"

"Two hundred," Estelle replied nonchalantly.

Evelyn's jaw dropped. She was sitting on something decent for a couple of rounds, but the price of the chips had her folding faster than a lawn chair at a barbecue.

Sylvia, confident as ever, matched the bet with two chips of her own.

Gabriel, perched right behind her, glanced at her hand and frowned. "You're betting without consulting your advisor?"

Sylvia leaned in, whispering conspiratorially, "I've got a pair, that's not too shabby."

"Which pair?" Gabriel inquired, a hint of skepticism in his voice.

Sylvia pointed it out to him.

Gabriel just stared, speechless.

After a few more betting rounds, it was down to Sylvia and Amiee. Gabriel couldn't stand to watch any longer and quickly called for the reveal.

Amiee had a straight flush. Magdalen slapped the table, "Thank my lucky stars I got out early."

Curious, Estelle asked her, "What did you have?"

With a sly grin, Magdalen confessed, "A pair."

Estelle had a pair too, which is why she had bailed after two rounds.

"Sylvia, what's your hand?" Magdalen prodded, eager with curiosity.

All eyes turned to Sylvia, who had been quiet for so long. Perhaps she was the dark horse about to surprise them all.

Sylvia proudly displayed her hand.

The room collectively facepalmed.
