The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1697

Chapter 1697

Herb glanced at Griffon, who seemed uninterested, with a hint of malicious intent in his eyes.

"Alright, let the Carmine pack surrender this round first, but whoever reaches this stage must finish the final round, with new rules for winning or losing. How about that?"

Before Griffon could respond, Preston immediately slammed the table.

"I agree, that's settled then!"

No matter what, they had to protect his ship and the two robots!

Griffon didn't have much of a reaction, he simply reached out and pulled Taya closer to him, then lifted his cold gaze towards Johnny.

"Shall we continue?"

Johnny's gaze briefly flickered over the hand placed on his waist before quickly looking away.

"There is no winner yet, of course we should continue."

Griffon moved his hand from Taya's waist up to the back of her head and gently pressed, causing her to nestle into his arms.

"Then let's continue."

Although it was a bit embarrassing to embrace each other in front of so many people, Taya obediently cooperated with Griffon.

She nestled in his arms, looking up at him, which Johnny found inexplicably irritating.

He clenched his fist, averted his gaze, and stopped looking at Taya.

After all, Griffon had warned him multiple times of his sovereignty, and it wouldn't be good to keep looking.

But he couldn't control himself from looking at her, he certainly couldn't gouge out his own eyeballs.

Herb couldn't see the hidden tension between Griffon and Johnny, he was only focused on the ongoing gambling game.

"Alpha, for the final round, let's raise the difficulty level, shall we?"

Harper frowned disapprovingly at Herb.

"What kind of tricky idea do you have now?"

Herb became angry. "I didn't shuffle the cards just now, so how could I be cheating?"

Preston countered, "Even if you didn't just now, you're eager to shuffle the cards now, isn't that a clear sign of cheating?"

Herb's hidden intentions were exposed, but he still insisted, "I'll shuffle them behind my back..."

Preston interrupted, "It doesn't matter where you shuffle them, it's useless."

Herb retorted, "You..."

"Both of you, shut up!"

Johnny impatiently shouted, "Give it to the waiter."

The waiter standing by was startled, "I..."

He was about to say "I dare not," when Preston forcefully handed him the cards.

Trembling, the waiter took the cards from Preston, turned around, and continuously swapped their positions before placing them back on the table.
