Chapter 291
Arthur proceeded to take out another handful of chips from his other pocket, and another from the pockets of his trousers. He even had a pile of chips in his undershirt pocket.
Stella watched as Arthur pulled out chip after chip from his pockets like a cartoon character until a small mountain of chips was piled up in front of them.
Stella was stunned and looked at Keegan, who was unfazed. “I told you, his luck is not too bad.
‘Not too bad? It looked like he hadn’t lost a game for the whole afternoon!” Stella screamed internally.
After tipping the dealer and paying for other surcharges, the chips had added up to a little over one million and seven hundred thousand dollars.
Stella suddenly felt jealous, as the amount was more than what she earned from acting. ‘If I had known, I would have gambled along with great-grandpa!”
Stella was interested in Arthur’s technique of winning money from gambling. She kept asking him about how he guessed correctly every single round.
Arthur told her wisely, “Young people should be more grounded. Don’t think about earning. money using dishonest ways.”
“But, why do you gamble yourself?”
Arthur replied solemnly, “I’m just an old man. It’s not a big deal if I lose. I have a few plots of good land at home that can sustain me until the day I die. It’s different for you youngsters. Once you get addicted to gambling, your whole life gets thrown away. Gambling is a scam. The casino wouldn’t let you walk away with their money that easily.”
Even though Arthur’s words made sense, Stella still felt as though he had double standards.
Stella turned her head to Keegan and whispered, “Do you think he cheated?”
