When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 867

“Damn!” Holden almost swore. “Are you showing off your wealth?”

He then raised his hand and placed three cards face down on the table, then looked at Ashton. “Go. I’ll take care of your wife. I promise to protect her well!”

Ashton smiled slightly and kissed me on the cheek before he said, “Go ahead and play. I’ll be back soon.”

I nodded. Although I was tempted to ask him what he was busy with, I stopped myself. When Ashton left, Holden looked at me and smiled. “You’d better not cry. I don’t know how to coax women. He said he’d be back, so he definitely will. You can stay here and play with peace of mind.”

I raised my eyebrows slightly and said in a solemn tone, “Betting money is a little too boring. Let’s bet on something bigger!”

He was stunned for about two seconds before he suddenly laughed. “Damn, are you two-faced? You seem to know how to play around. Hmm, this is interesting. Tell me, what do you want to play?”

“How about roulette?” I said, raising my eyebrows and narrowing my eyes at him.

The men in the room started to yell excitedly. Holden snapped, “You even know this? I’ve really underestimated you.”

He then turned to the ladies who were standing to one side. “Did you guys hear that? Do as Mrs. Fuller says. Let’s play something exciting.”

Two of the ladies nodded and left the room. Soon, they returned with a large roulette and placed it on the table. Holden grabbed the dice that were on the roulette and raised his eyebrows. “How do you want to play?”

Looking at the vulgar numbers on the roulette, I said lightly, “We’ll spin to number seven. If I lose, Ashton will give you Fuller Corporation’s investment rights in Moranta. How about that?”

He narrowed his eyes as his originally cynical expression changed to something a little more solemn. He replied seriously, “What if I lose?”

I looked at him and said, “Stop working with Abe. Let him go back to Venria the same way he came here. What do you think?”

He looked at me as his pupils constricted. “I have indeed underestimated you!”

I kept silent, looking at him expressionlessly as I waited for his decision. His dark eyes swept across the roulette as his lips started to curl up. “I have to say that your condition is very interesting indeed. How fascinating!”

Then, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers as he kept his eyes on me. “Let’s play. But since you’re a woman, I can let you win one round.”

I gave him a faint smile as I calmly replied, “It’s alright. Let’s just play a fair game.”
