My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 40

"Cole, don't cross the line! We can all see you're trying to make Makenna lose; she's only wearing a camisole top right now. Do you want her to be naked?"

"She should remove one piece of her clothing because I won," Cole shrugged, "That's the rules we agreed on," he added, "But I don't mind you replacing her."

Because the heater was turned on, Gigi was just wearing a strapped dress and she would not humiliate herself for Makenna's sake.

While they were arguing, Jared stepped forward. He placed his cloak around Makenna and said, "Let's end here, it's late. I'll send you six million dollars and will not participate in the acquisition of Shelverwin Corp. Instead, I'll be assisting you." Before Cole had a chance to respond, he added.

Cole had humiliated Makenna, and Jared compromised, so he agreed.

"You think you won just now, the truth is, she just didn't want to play with you," he crushed the cigarette into the ashtray and stood slowly, "Amber has been a master at poker since she was ten, even her father has lost to her, let alone me."

"She had completely given up on you," he grinned as he went by Jared. "Otherwise, even ten Makenna wouldn't be able to defeat her."

His eyes clouded as he remembered Amber's calm expression while removing the tattoo.

That lady was a poker prodigy...

Before Cole returned, Amber and Stella shared some snacks and sang a few songs.

When Cole returned, Stella asked about what happened and was ecstatic to find that he almost stripped Makenna nude, "She would have to walk out of here absolutely naked if it wasn't for Mr. Farrell."

"Yes! This is what you get for bullying my babe!" Cole replied, his jaws clenched.

"Thank you," Amber said with a smile as she clinked glasses with him.

Instead of asking why she allowed them to win, Cole drew her into his arms and said, "We've been sleeping together all this time. There's no need to thank me."

"Whoa! Is that true?" Stella's eyes widened as she looked over.

"Of course..." Cole said.

"If you keep degrading me, I'm going to hit you in the face! He came lived with me while we were little since his parents were always busy," Amber said, kicking him in the shins. "Most importantly, he never paid a penny," Amber explained to Stella.

"Cole's the degraded one here," Stella said as she threw a disgraceful glance at Cole.

They were having a good time speaking without realizing that there was a little device taped beneath the table that was recording every word they said.

It was happening as soon as the room was full with Cole's friends.

Amber was the quiet sort, so she took a seat in the corner and drank. However, she became a part of the group when they started playing games and drinking alcohol.

Despite losing, she was pleased and drank so many glasses of red wine that she almost passed out after a few rounds.

"I'm going to get some fresh air, you may continue." Amber went out after telling Cole. She meant to freshen herself on the balcony, but the chilly wind made her feel ill, so she hurried to the washroom, covering her mouth.
