Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1042

Chapter 1042 Betting with Susan

Esther was on the brink of arguing with Susan. Chris pulled her aside, saying, "Honey, why don't you go outside and cool off? I'll handle things here."

Huh? Esther hesitated, but upon seeing Chris's confident smile, she nodded and left. She really didn't want to see Susan. She was afraid she might not be able to contain herself from severing ties with her own mother. How could there be such an outrageous mother in this world, and why did she have to be stuck with her? Sobbing, as soon as she stepped out, Ye Mengyan couldn't help but shed tears of pain.

Meanwhile, Chris casually pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Susan with a teasing expression. Susan furrowed her brow, "Chris, why are you coming over here?"

Ever since Chris had dealt with the Collins family, Susan had not dared to act arrogantly in front of him. After all, Chris was a ruthless person! Not only did he kill his own brother and niece, but he also confined his own father. Who knew what Chris would do if provoked?

Chris chuckled, "Mom, don't worry. I heard from Esther that you love gambling..."

Before Chris could finish, Susan, impatient, retorted, "What does my liking for gambling have to do with you? I didn't ask you for money. I asked my daughter for money. Chris, if you have any sense, you wouldn't meddle in this!"

"Heh," Chris immediately laughed, "How does it have nothing to do with me, Mom? Have you forgotten that I am the son-in-law of your Jefferson family? If Esther loses all her money to you, how will she support me, your little trophy husband?"

"You..." Upon hearing this, Susan didn't know how to respond. How shameless could Chris be? She had never encountered such shamelessness before. He stated his freeloading status so boldly! And was Chris really just a trophy husband? After all this time, Susan was no fool; she had long known that Chris, that bastard, had always been playing dumb. If it weren't for Chris, there would be no Chester Group today!

"Alright, I won't waste my breath with you," Chris cut to the chase, "I heard you like to gamble. How about we make a bet?"

"Tch," Susan dismissed, "Fine, let's gamble! Why should I gamble with you? Are you going to give me money?"

Chris smiled and said, "Of course, I have money to give you. Truth be told, I recently went to Star Island overseas and casually won several billion dollars. If you can beat me, I'll give you not just ten billion, but a hundred billion!"

Upon hearing this, Susan's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Chris to have won several billion dollars overseas at Star Island. Converted to Amerosian soft sister coins, that would be several hundred billion!

"Really?" Susan asked skeptically, after calming down.

Whether what Chris said was true or not, and if he would really give her a hundred billion, Susan had her doubts.

"Of course it's true! You're my mom, would I lie to you? But I have one condition: if you lose, you're not allowed to gamble anymore. How does that sound?"

Hearing this, Susan immediately began contemplating. Chris was right. No matter how domineering Chris was outside, at home, he still had to listen to Esther. And she was Esther's mother, Chris's mother-in-law. If Chris dared to default, she'd see how she'd deal with him.

"Alright, how do you want to bet?" Susan asked.

"It's simple! I happen to have a deck of poker cards here. We each draw a card, and the one with the highest card wins."
