“Isla, you put up the money while I provide the luck. We win together, and you won’t lose anything! My luck is something rare! I never lose!” Daniel boasted.
Isla didn’t reply directly but turned to Avery with a grin. “Avery, look at your country bumpkin son-in-law. He thinks he can use my money!”
Despite the jest, Avery felt embarrassed and angry.
Avery stared at Daniel, “You’re already embarrassing, and now you want to con Isla out of her money? I’ll knock you out!”
“Mom, you’ve got it all wrong! This isn’t a scam! I’m partnering with Isla for mutual gain! If she gives me a million bucks, at worst, I’ll earn her five million tonight.”
“Or you can invest a million for me, Mom! We could have two million as startup funds. After we make some money, we’ll all share the profits! I estimate I can win at least one hundred million tonight! That’s a sure way to make both you and Isla happy!”
“What's the deal?” Avery asked.
“We share the winnings like this: you and Isla both get 30%, and I take 40%!” Daniel said.
While he wasn’t sure how many lies he had told Jessica, Avery still didn’t buy it.
“So, you really haven’t lied even once?” she pressed.
“Wow! I knew there was no way you were that honest! You really managed to fool my daughter? Guess you got punished for it, huh? Men like you deserve it!”
