Logan didn’t dare confront Autumn directly. He pointed at Dominic and said, “Dominic, can’t you afford to lose? If you really can’t pay, just say so. Worst case, I won’t take the money.”
Dominic smirked. “If I lost fairly, I’d accept it. But…”
He stepped toward Logan as he spoke.
Logan retreated, his eyes sharp with caution. “What are you trying to do?”
Without warning, Dominic seized Logan’s right hand and pulled a small, button–like object from his sleeve. It resembled a magnet. He held it up with a slight smile. “What’s this?”
Logan’s eyes flew open. He clenched his teeth. “It’s a button from my clothes. Is there a problem?”
“A button?” Dominic let out a cold sneer. He said nothing more. Instead, he picked up three cards from the table.
He pressed the magnet firmly against them and rubbed it across their surfaces.
Before everyone’s eyes, the three cards transformed into three Aces.
At the same time, the original three Aces shifted back into the exact cards Dominic had held moments earlier.
The implication was obvious. The deck had been specially prepared.
Gasps rippled through the room. Every gaze turned to Logan, each expression different from the last.
Dominic tossed both the cards and the magnet onto the table and pointed at Logan. “Now, how do you explain this?”
Sweat beaded on Logan’s forehead. “I… How would I know? That’s not mine. I was holding three Aces!”
Autumn moved to Dominic’s side and fixed Logan with a frigid stare. “Cheating in my house? Are you tired of living? If you don’t give me a proper explanation, no one will save you today.”
Logan shot Benedict a pleading look.
Benedict cleared his throat and started to speak, but Autumn turned on him at once. “Ben, I know you and Logan are close. Don’t say a word today. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you any courtesy.”
Benedict’s expression stiffened. Color drained from his face, then rushed back in a flush. He had already been humiliated.
Autumn shifted her attention back to Logan. By then, the bodyguards had begun to close in.
A chill crept across Logan’s scalp. His heart hammered against his ribs. He had never imagined the trick would be exposed. Now he had nowhere to retreat.
