The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1463

Rhys gave a chuckle, but something about Chloe's words made him a bit uneasy.
As Chloe raked in a whopping twenty million in a blink, Nathan and Kane rushed to snatch her chips, insisting, "You can't gamble anymore. You're already winning. Let's call it a day."
Rhys was not amused. "Didn't we agree to play till eleven? It's only half past now. You guys getting cold feet?"
Nathan retorted, "So what if we change our minds? Who says we can't?"
"You…"
Chloe pushed Nathan away gently and turned to Rhys with a smile. "Game on. Even though I'm a woman, I stick to my words. Ninety minutes to go, let's keep rolling."
Rhys’ mood seemed to lighten a bit. "Chloe is truly one of a kind. Let's keep the ball rolling!"
Onlookers started to snicker, "Is this lady truly gambling or just trying to impress Rhys for his status, and planning to lose all the money to him?"
"I think so too, using another man's money to win over another man, how..."
Rhys burst into laughter. "So, Chloe, you regret rejecting me now? Do you want to crawl back into my arms? You could've just said so, why all the fuss?"
A shadow flickered across Chloe's face. But her smile remained. A chilling smile. "Rhys, don't push your luck and piss me off, or I'll make sure you lose everything you have. Don't test me."
Rhys was taken aback, then roared with laughter. "Such a gutsy woman, just the kind I admire. Threatening me with bankruptcy, ha! Let's see how much guts Ms. Summers has got to make me go broke."
The crowd also joined in the laughter.
"Yes, let's see how you'll make Mr. Rhys go broke."
"If you manage to beat Rhys tonight, you'll be the next Randall!"
Chloe gave a cold smirk. "I hope you won't chicken out."
"Of course not. If we agreed to play till eleven, then we will."
Chloe gave a faint smile. "Then let's continue."
As the dealer rolled the dice, Chloe made her move, pushing all her chips forward, about thirty million in total.
The crowd gasped. The stakes were high! Was this woman out of her mind!
Rhys kept his cool, signaled the waiter, and matched Chloe's thirty million.
Chloe bet on 'small,' Rhys on 'large.'
The dice revealed 'small.' Chloe won.
Rhys stiffened a bit, watching the dealer move around sixty million chips to Chloe's side.
Nathan and Kane's eyes widened in disbelief. Oh my god! It was really happening!
"Ms. Summers, I think we have a good chance of winning tonight. How about we cash out fifty million now? You keep ten million and play the rest. We can't lose!"
As Nathan was shifting some chips to his side, Damon felt slightly relieved. This strategy might have sounded a bit sneaky, but it was better than letting Chloe gamble non-stop.
Rhys was getting anxious. Wasn't this the same as admitting defeat? "Ms. Summers, are you sure you want to play this way?"
Chloe smiled and stopped Nathan's hand. "Of course not. I want to win you over until you're broke. This money is just pocket change to Viscount Rhys, right?"
Rhys finally relaxed. "Of course."
"Then let's continue."
The following rounds held the casino in absolute silence because from the start, Chloe had been pushing all her chips forward every round, forcing Rhys to match. But the outcome was mind-boggling; Chloe kept winning.
So far, Rhys had lost almost three hundred million.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"
"Damn, damn, damn!"
"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
"Perfect, perfect, perfect!"
Nathan and Kane were cheering from the sidelines, their applause echoing every time Chloe won.
Chloe sat leisurely, rotating on her bar stool, arm resting on the table, and beaming at a sweaty Rhys. She gave a faint smile.
"Let's keep going, Viscount Rhys."
Rhys glanced at her, his face a bit pale. He wiped the sweat off his forehead, and his fingers were trembling slightly, which he didn’t even notice.
The stakes were getting higher and higher. Everyone could hardly keep their feet, and their hearts were pounding. The further the game went, the more they realized that Chloe was the biggest daredevil they'd ever seen.
No matter how many chips she had, she'd push them all in every round. By now, she had about half a billion chips. Yet without hesitation, she pushed them all forward. Looking at Rhys, she said, "I'm betting all in on 'large'."
Nathan and Kane felt their knees weaken, their palms sweaty. Rhys was getting shaky, hesitating to place his bet, but the continuous losses made him stubborn. Besides, he didn't believe Chloe could guess right every time!
If he could win this round, he could get all his losses back. This was the typical gambler's mentality. He decided to go all in, betting eight hundred million chips at once.
Why was he so bold? Because it included the dealer's payout.
According to the rules, the winner would also get the dealer's payout. The payout ratio was one to one.
The crowd grew tense. In all their years in the casino, they had never seen such high stakes. And it was a novice woman against an experienced man.
The staff starts rolling the dice, and everyone's eyes were glued to his hand, all nerves. Even this time, the usually cool as a cucumber guy’s hand was noticeably shaking. He'd been at this job for years, but he'd never dealt with stakes this high before.
