Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 37

Rebecca soon returned to the room.

Before she even saw Sonia’s cards, Rebecca could already guess what had transpired just by the ‘gentle’ smile on Tina’s face. Sonia must have suffered a harsh defeat when I was away.

Rebecca went to sit next to Sonia and shot a glance at the cards in Sonia’s hands. Again, they were not quite useful. Then, she asked in a low voice, “President Reed, the woman opposite of you is not any other woman. She’s your ex-husband’s lover. Are you really going to be defeated by her like this?”

“No worries. I just have to win three rounds out of five.” Sonia smiled. Since she sat down to play poker with them, she looked as peaceful as ever.

While she replied to Rebecca, she played yet

another card.

“Game.” Tina placed her card down with a brighter smile on her face.

Rebecca was speechless to hear that.

“President Reed, you have already lost two rounds to Tina. I think there’s no need to continue,” Tina’s friend said pompously. “Tina is not a petty person. As long as you apologize to her, we will hire the best tattoo artist to remove the tattoo from your body.”

Tina raised her head slightly as she looked at Sonia. It looked as though she was waiting for Sonia to concede defeat. “Would you like to continue, Miss Reed?” she asked in a gentle yet peaceful tone.

“Of course.” Sonia shuffled the cards again without a change in her expression. “We said

that we could play five rounds.”

Tina’s friend rolled her eyes at Sonia and she rudely spoke, “We are giving you an opportunity, yet you are not treasuring it and pointing the gun at yourself. Tina is so good at poker that I think you would never win against her.”

“That’s enough.” Tina stopped her friend, but she looked at Sonia vindictively. “Since Miss Reed would like to continue with the game, I will follow her wishes then.”

They soon started a new round.

Since the occupants in the room were only women, the spectators did not merely watch the game. While they snacked on the tidbits, they chatted with each other.

Tina’s friend was called Cynthia Stone. On Cynthia’s right was Sonia while Melody was

seated on Cynthia’s left.

Cynthia was not just watching the game as she even peeled an orange and passed it to Melody ingratiatingly. “Melody, how long are you going to stay in Seafield this time? Are you planning to spend the new year here?”

“I will return to Norfolk after the new year.” Melody threw her cards on the table loudly. With a frown, she added, “Peter Southfield wants to have a divorce. He’s back here to look for a lawyer.”

Cynthia was shocked to hear this piece of news and carefully skirted around the topic. “Back then, didn’t the Southfield Family beg your grandfather to betroth you to him? They used your family name to accomplish many things. How could he even dare to divorce you?

“Well, it’s because—” Melody suddenly remembered something and stopped elaborating halfway through the sentence. Then, she merely gave a cold smile. “I’m not someone he can easily marry and divorce! I want to see which lawyer in Seafield is willing to take this case!"

Sonia merely listened to them in the silence as she lowered her eyes.

She did not know much of the Southfield Family in Seafield. She was only aware that they were quite influential in this city with almost as much authority as the Stryder Family in Norfolk.
