Chapter 46 It's Orlando's Way of Doing Things
Lydia was so furious when she heard the words.
Her lips wobbled, but in the end, she still failed to utter a complete sentence. She then looked toward Orlando, asking for his help with her eyes.
Orlando, however, looked leisurely and nonchalantly rubbed the cards with his fingers. It happened to be his turn to bet. Still, he casually threw some of his chips into the pot.
It was twenty million!
This action immediately drew the attention of those onlookers, which indirectly saved Lydia.
Lydia heaved a sigh of relief. But she still had lingering fear. Noticing that no one was paying attention to her, she shot a fierce glare at Penny.
Penny slightly knitted her brows and ignored her. She put her fingertips on the cards before her as if she had been completely immersed in this game.
Since Orlando had offered a raise of twenty million, according to the rules, those who wanted to bet later should offer chips equal to or more than twenty million.
There were almost two billion in the pot.
The dealer looked a bit excited. When this round was over, he finally turned over three community cards.
They were Heart A, Heart 10, and Diamond 5.
The person sitting on the right of Penny had folded and it was now Penny's turn.
She leaned back against the chair, not looking at anyone, counted forty million from the chips before her, and threw them into the pot. She had doubled the chips!
"Forty million."
She who only dared to bet one million in the beginning had actually offered a raise of forty million in this round!
Penny noticed that even Orlando had raised his head and his gaze stopped on her for a second.
But he withdrew his gaze soon.
Everyone was confused about what cards she had now.
Ryder had two 5 in his hands. Combined with the community cards on the table, he could make a "three of a kind", which ranked higher than any "pairs". He could probably win this bet.
He glanced at Penny with a cold sneer.
"Can you recognize the cards?"
"What do you think of it, Mr. Cain?"
Penny blinked and used a high-rising terminal, which made her sound a bit cunning as she said, "I never plan to give money to others. Maybe such an amount of money is nothing to you guys, but for me, I have to work for my whole life to earn this."
After all, it was twenty million.
Ryder narrowed his eyes. A subtle sense of crisis rose in his heart.
This woman was reluctant to bet even only one million, but now, she had actually offered a raise of forty million. What cards did she have?
However, when remembering that he had a "three of a kind", Ryder called with forty million without hesitation.
It was now Orlando's turn. He casually pushed his chips into the pot.
