The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696

"We're not going to be with the Carmine pack." The Knight pack and the Carmine pack have a feud. For the sake of Taya, they will temporarily coexist peacefully, but joining the Carmine pack's team? Impossible.

"Well then, Taya is a member of my Carmine pack. Ms. Duke is her sister, so she's also part of my Carmine pack. Mr. Sterling is neither from the Knight pack nor the Carmine pack, so he can be on my side for now. And Anthony..."

"Stop! Anthony is my good friend, why do you have any ideas about him?!"

"He's just your friend, not a blood relative. Why does he count as a member of the Knight pack?"

"He was my sister's first love, so of course he counts as a member of the Knight pack."

When Preston said this, Anthony suddenly looked up and glanced at Edith. She sat next to Silas, as if she hadn't heard anything, showing no reaction as if the term "first love" didn't mean anything to her anymore. Anthony's lips also showed a hint of bitter smile. Preston seemed to realize that he had said something inappropriate in his haste and quickly changed his words. "Regardless, Anthony is my friend and I will never help anyone from your Carmine pack go against me."

When the two sides were deadlocked in a struggle for numbers, Harper stepped forward to speak up for her husband. "Mr. Carmine, Taya is already mated to Griffon. Therefore, she is a member of the Knight pack. I also mated Preston, making me a member of the Knight pack as well. As for Mr. Sterling, he is my brother, so naturally he's on my side."

"Alright, you can team up with whoever you want. We four can defeat you anyway," Herb said, then turned to Johnny and raised his eyebrows. "Right, cousin?"

Johnny gave him a cold glance. What luck was he playing? Didn't he know he had bad luck?!

From his angry eyes, Herb could see a sense of determination, which made him not afraid at all. He raised his fair hand and patted the table. "Alright, everyone, let's start betting!"

Miles loved playing this kind of game, so when he heard the word "bet," he immediately threw his gambling chips onto the table. "I bet one million that I will win!"

As soon as Herb finished speaking, Johnny drew an A, leaving him somewhat incredulous. Preston suddenly hugged his cards and shouted, "I didn't draw it, it's up to you guys now! I have to protect my ship!"

Silas, who also didn't draw an A, breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over. He put down his cards, pushed his wheelchair, and left the crowd, sitting quietly in a corner, watching Taya.

When he saw the smile on her face, he couldn't help but smile too...

But then he caught a glimpse of Griffon' handsome face in his line of sight, and his smile instantly froze. He quickly averted his gaze, avoiding Griffon' scrutiny, while Griffon... Besides Silas, there were Johnny and Herb. Of course, he didn't need to pay attention to a kid like Herb, but Johnny... Throughout the game, Johnny's eyes were always uncontrollably focused on Taya.

Griffon frowned, thinking about how he would deal with Johnny later. He threw his cards onto the table. "When will this end?"

This boring and childish game kept going round after round. He didn't know what possessed him to accept Herb's challenge.
