Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 366

Resurrecting the Genius Within 

Chapter 366 Deal Again

Isabelle spoke up slowly, Do it.” 

Finished 

Hunter’s demeanor softened, and he managed a relaxed smile. You wouldn’t actually go for something so violent and bloody, right?” 

He figured Isabelle was just teasing him to gain his attention, and didn’t think she’d actually follow through

Of course, if he had won, he’d be the one to make the call

But Isabelle surprised him. Tm already holding back by not ending your life with one game.” 

Yves chimed in, Mr. Hunter, do you think my Sweetheart is kidding? Seems you’re clueless about women.” 

Seeing Isabelle and Yvesserious faces, Hunter finally realized Isabelle meant business

He stayed composed. You really caught me off guard. I’m not sore about losing, but don’t really have to resort to violence, do we? How about we change the stakes? You decide.” 

Hunter hadn’t realized how dangerous the woman in front of him was

Yves said. Mr. Hunter, if you can’t do it yourself, I’m happy to step in. But don’t think you’ll get off easy,” 

I’m not trying to bail, but- 

“You’re talking too much, and frankly, you’re dumb,Isabelle cut in

Hunter’s expression soured under the scrutiny of everyone’s gaze

He glared at Isabelle and then lowered his voice. Do you know who I am?” 

His eyes held a threat. Being publicly insulted by a woman and feeling trapped, Hunter, who once fancied Isabelle, now wanted to throttle her

Isabelle replied, You’re the president’s nephew. Can’t you handle defeat?” 

Yves added loudly, Backing out now in front of everyone brings shame to the president and Melfrey.” 

Hunter, hoping to use his status to intimidate, found himself in a bind. Yves raised the stakes too high for him to back down

Yves pressed on, Just one stab. Can’t you even handle that?” 

The guests, cautious of Hunter’s status, didn’t cheer but eyed him with disdain

Their flattery was only because of his family background, not genuine respect

Under everyone’s scrutiny, Hunter crushed his cigarette and reluctantly picked up the dagger

He stared at his arm, gripping the dagger tightly but hesitating to act

The guests understood the wager now

Chapter 366 Deal Again 

Finished 

After a brief inner struggle, Hunter closed his eyes, grit his teeth, and stabbed his arm. Blood stained his sleeve

The guests flinched, and some women gasped, covering their mouths

Hunter stifled a scream, his face contorted in pain. He pulled out the bloody dagger and tossed it on the 

table

His date, pale with fear, awkwardly searched for a handkerchief to wrap his wound

Hunter pushed his date away and hastily wrapped his arm with a handkerchief. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his impatience evident as he interrupted Isabelle

Slamming his hand on the table, he insisted, Deal again!” 

His eyes blazed with a desire for payback aimed at Isabelle and Yves

The cautious guest dealt the cards again, her hands trembling

Hunter’s date refused to look at her cards and shook her head in denial, hoping to flee. But Hunter forcefully pulled her back when she attempted to escape

She collapsed onto the sofa, tears streaming down her face, compelled to confront her hand once more. Flipping a card, she gasped and cried at the sight of a two of diamonds

Another card revealed a three of clubs, and a nine of diamonds, totaling fourteen points

Hunter winced in pain, his arm throbbing as he clenched his teeth, glaring daggers at Isabelle

His facade crumbled. Reveal your cards,he demanded

Isabelle picked up the cards, not bothering to glance at them herself, revealing a ten, nine, and seven, totaling up to twentysix points

Her luck with cards was undeniable
