Chapter 166
Shawn fell silent for a moment. “Then there’s only one way left.”
“What it is?”
“Well, isn’t there a method in the casino where you can gamble with your own body? Mr. Murray, you can gamble with yourself!” Shawn chuckled.
“But the other party doesn’t want that!” Charles frowned, watching as time was about to run out.
“How about this: I’ll sign a contract using my body as collateral with you guys. After all, you must believe that I’ll repay you.
“The Murray Group’s a big deal. Why would we owe you anything? Plus, my brother–in–law is Nathan, the president of the Franklin Group!”
“Mr. Murray, it’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that our department has never signed such a contract.” Shawn smiled. “How about you discuss it with someone else?”
“I don’t care! No matter what method you use today, I must borrow this money!” Charles threatened. “Don’t blame me for being rough with you otherwise!”
Shawn thought momentarily and said, “Okay, let’s do this. We’ve been cooperating for so long; I’ll personally guarantee it this time. Let Mr. Murray sign the contract using his own body as collateral.”
He continued, “But Mr. Murray… once this contract is signed, you’ll have to face the consequences if you don’t repay it today. When that happens, even I won’t be able to save you.”
“Fine!” Charles agreed.
Charles sat back down at the gambling table with a new stack of chips.
Once again, the dealer dealt the cards.
He could barely conceal his joy upon receiving his hand.
Charles chuckled. “I refuse to believe that your luck is always this good. You can’t always get the best hand every time!”
The onlookers nodded in agreement.
Indeed, getting the best hand in a deck of cards was a rare occurrence. Just because Audrey got the
best hand the first time didn’t necessarily mean she would have the same luck this time.
“Is that so?” Audrey smiled as she revealed her cards.
She had the best hand in the deck again!
“Oh my God, she did it again!”

“Her luck is too good!”
“T–That’s impossible!” Charles stood up as if he was about to flip the table. His eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Audrey, “You’re cheating!”
“This casino has hundreds of surveillance cameras. Do you think I can cheat under their watchful eye? Are you questioning the integrity of the casino?” Audrey asked with a smile.
Cocking her head to the side, she said with feigned innocence, “Or perhaps, Mr. Murray, you just can’t handle losing?”
