Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 36

“She is definitely something to be able to hang out with Melody Stryder.” Rebecca shot a glance at the woman next to Tina as she quietly explained, “Melody is the granddaughter of one of the ministers in Norfolk who has just retired— Mr. Stryder. If you can hang out with her, you don’t have to worry about your connections.”

Sonia had seldom mingled in society before this, so she did not know many people in the business circle, let alone folks from another city. No wonder Tina has drastically lowered her stance.

Tina’s background was nothing to a figure like Melody.

“Oh, so you’re President Fuller’s ex-wife?” Melody shot a disdainful glance at Sonia without a slightest trace of respect at all. “Since we have all met each other, let’s have a few rounds of games together. Are you willing to join us?”

Let alone poker, Sonia did not even want to talk to Tina.

However, Sonia had learned how to read people’s facial expressions after suffering in Jean’s hands over the years. As soon as Melody started speaking, she knew that this was not a person whom she could cross.

“Of course. The person we are waiting for is only arriving at 10:00 PM.” Sonia was well aware that she was nothing at this moment. Hence, she did not want to be in a situation where she was bullied by Melody just because she had annoyed Melody. “I’m not good at poker, though. I hope you don’t mind.”

Melody merely snorted before she left in her high heels.

“Don’t worry. It’s just for passing the time.” It was only after Melody left that Tina dared to speak. “If you really can’t play, we’ll go easy on you.

Tina had learned from her friends that Sonia lost hundreds of thousands when she played poker with Mr. King from Dwells.

According to the waiter, Sonia was just a beginner who could not even play poker.

I’m definitely taking my revenge for the anger I felt at the watch store in the afternoon!

Sonia smiled. “Thanks, Miss Gray.”

While walking with Sonia to the private room, Rebecca asked quietly, “President Reed, are you really bad at poker? Why didn’t you reject them?

I think she thinks of you as an enemy. What if she lays a trap for you while you are playing with

them?”

“She already laid the trap when we met earlier. Melody is obvious on Tina’s side. Even if she lays a trap later, I have to knowingly walk into it.”

Rebecca shot her a glance. “Oh! You are too miserable!”

When the four of them entered the private room, they walked to a table for poker and quickly started the game after the distribution of cards.

Rebecca did not know how to play poker, but she quickly searched for some tutorials and knew the basic rules. When she looked at Sonia playing again, she felt quite sorry to see the scene that she almost wanted to take over Sonia’s place.

Upon seeing how Sonia lost to both Tina and Rebecca for two consecutive rounds, a striking smile appeared on Tina’s face.

“Miss Reed, do you have a tattoo around your waist with the words ‘TF’?” Tina suddenly asked. “It’s the abbreviation of Toby’s name, isn’t it?”

Sonia played a card, but she did not reply to Tina.

Even though Tina was also playing, her gaze was fixated on Sonia’s face. “I don’t feel comfortable that you still have a tattoo of his name on your body even after you guys have divorced. Why don’t we bet on the game? If you lose, I’ll ask the tattoo guy to immediately remove your tattoo.”

Upon hearing that, Rebecca could not stop herself from responding, “Miss Gray, this is over the top. It’s President Reed’s freedom to choose whatever tattoo she likes for her body. Her card skills are quite lousy, yet you are using this as the bet. You are obviously bullying her.”

“Miss Reed hasn’t even started speaking, so why are you interjecting?” Melody pouted her red lips in annoyance. “How annoying!”

Rebecca blushed in anger and wanted to retaliate, but Sonia stopped her.

“I accept it.” Sonia smiled gently with peace and calmness in her eyes. “However, what would you do if you lost, Miss Gray?”

While looking at the cards that Sonia played, Tina replied firmly, “If I lose, I will leave Toby as well as Seafield and I will never return again. If you think I’m bullying you, I can ask someone else to teach you poker. We can start our bet once you have learned how to play.”

“It’s fine. I think I’m pretty good at the game. Are you really planning to have this bet with me? It’s not a joke?” Sonia asked.

Tina replied confidently, “I’m serious. Everyone here is our witness.”

“Alright. Then, the winner will be the one to win two out of three rounds.” With that, Sonia played a card that increased Tina’s odds of winning.

When Tina looked at the card, her smile even looked vindictive. I’m definitely winning this round!

The moment that the first round started was when Rebecca knew Sonia was bound to lose after she saw the cards that Sonia had.
