Chapter 472
Jade maintained her faint smile. “What do you mean by twisting black and white? I only know that when you’re willing to gamble, you must accept the loss.”
The onlookers stood stunned. One by one, their gazes shifted toward Jade, each expression tinged with
unease.
Dominic pointed at the tabletop. “I’ll accept the loss if it’s fair. But he cheated. Ms. Wright, are you really going to back someone like that?”
Logan had thought he was finished. He had not expected the situation to reverse. When Jade stepped forward to speak on his behalf, excitement surged through him.
“Cheated? Do you have any evidence?” he shot back. “You lost this hand. You’re not going to deny it, are you?”
No one had expected events to unfold this way.
Lucas could not hold back. “Aunt Jade, about this matter-”
Jade cut him off with a dismissive wave before he could finish. “Lucas, don’t speak. Just watch.”
Lucas frowned but said nothing more.
Jade turned to Dominic. Her voice remained calm, edged with faint mockery. “You claim he cheated. Prove it.”
Dominic had no evidence. There were no cameras in the room.
“Ms. Wright, what you’re doing is inappropriate.” Isaac stepped forward and moved to Dominic’s side. Facing Jade, he spoke in a cold, steady tone. “Everyone here saw Logan cheat with their own eyes. You’re using your authority to suppress others. Do you think Mr. Garcia would approve?”
Jade had not expected Isaac to intervene. Her brows knit together. “Mr. Moore, this has nothing to do with you.”
Isaac held considerable status in Skyline City. No one underestimated him.
He did not hesitate. “Mr. Fleming’s affairs are my affairs. Even if he lost a billion dollars, I could pay it. But cheating is cheating. We will not acknowledge this debt.”
Jade fell silent.
When she stepped in, she had not overanalyzed the situation. She saw an opportunity to suppress Dominic, to make him recognize the gap between them. She had also hoped to seize White Cosmos No.
Isaac’s involvement complicated matters.
Her hesitation lasted only a moment. Her gaze sharpened. “If you wish to assist him, that is your choice,

Mr. Moore. But a gamble is a gamble. If you believe he cheated, present evidence. Otherwise, this round belongs to Logan.”
Her eyes swept across the table.
Lucas could only offer Dominic a helpless look. After all, Jade was his aunt.
A cold smile tugged at Zachary’s lips. “Ms. Wright makes sense. I didn’t see Logan cheat. If Mr. Fleming has evidence, he should present it.”
Benedict spoke evenly. “Logan won this round. I acknowledge it.”
With both men taking that position, the tide turned against Dominic.
Everyone at the table recognized Logan’s win. The onlookers understood what had happened, even if no one said it aloud. Still, no one was willing to offend Jade.
Silence settled over the room.
After a few seconds, Jade spoke lightly. “Dominic, do you have anything else to say?”
Isaac’s patience snapped. “Fine. Very well. Ms. Wright, it’s just over 100,000,000 dollars. I’ll pay it. But remember this: if the Garcia Group’s reputation collapses one day, you will bear the blame.”
His words were cutting.
Irritation flickered across Jade’s face. She understood that her actions would carry consequences. Still, she would gain the goodwill of the Pierces and the Hughes.
Most of the others present maintained business ties with the García Group. Under those circumstances, any damage would remain manageable.
It was only a matter of reputation. For a conglomerate as vast as the García Group, how much did that truly matter?
