Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

All kinds of surprised, skeptical, and curious eyes fell directly on Carolien. Since Elijah did not say anything, no one else dared to retort either.

With a slight raise in his eyebrows, Elijah sat down slowly much to everyone's surprise. His eyes, which were looking at Carolien from the side, became more and more cold and malicious, with some indescribable emotions. Toying with a chip, he threw it down gently. A mocking smile appeared on his thin lips.

"Miss Jones, you are very keen! We're playing at the starting sum of fifty thousand though. Are you sure you can handle it?"

This woman was really something!

Even if they were only betting fifties or hundreds, it could go up to thousands in a night. Those numbers were already enough to make Carolien feel the pressure, let alone with a starting sum of fifty thousand. Typically, she would never join something like this. She didn't have the money. However, Elijah had called her by her name, The quick progress couldn't help but make her feel surprised.

Glancing around, she was about to say that she was Aydin's replacement. So technically, he was the one to bear the losses.

Besides, they were all men here. She didn't think they would make a woman pay!

Unfortunately, before she could say anything, Elijah cut her off. "Aydin's chips are running low. It's barely enough to last another round. What are you going to use for the later rounds?"

Since Elijah had sat down, the other two players did not dare to say otherwise. They followed suit and looked back and forth between Elijah and Carolien.

What was going on?

As their eyes met, a burst of fire splashed in all directions.

She couldn't help but feel like Elijah was purposefully targeting her and making things difficult for her Carolien was overjoyed. She raised her eyebrows and shot out a bright gaze. With a light smile, she did not back down.

"What would you like me to bet with?"

Had he already noticed her?noveldrama

She was not afraid of being picked on by him. She was only worried that he would ignore her.

"For each round you lose, you have to take off one article of clothing."

His fingertips moved slightly, and the corner of Elijah's cold lips raised. Carolien's eyes suddenly widened a little, and the surrounding gasps rose one after another. "Wow..."

Everyone's faces were also full of disbelief. No matter how stupid they were, they could sense that something was off.

Carolien's heart obviously thumped, and her red lips pursed slightly. "He's doing this on purpose to humiliate me!"

What a stingy man!

"All this because I accidentally took advantage of him the last time. Is it really necessary to take revenge on me? Anyway, it's not like he was losing out. His grip left me sore for two full days!"

Gnashing her teeth in anger, Carolien could not help but feel a little anxious. Elijah was good at poker and with so many men present... She was in a dilemma about whether to agree to the gamble or preserve her integrity.

Facing his burning gaze, Carolien knew that Elijah was being serious.

She was stunned and couldn't make up her mind. Elijah's icy voice rang out again, "Either accept the terms or get out of here."

In the next second, Carolien had already grabbed the cards on the table.

Since the round had begun, no matter what happened, the other two had no choice but to follow suit. Although a woman was at the table now, the atmosphere was still fense. For a long time, no one spoke. The only sound that could be heard was the shuffling of cards.

Mr. Dion touched his cards and subconsciously looked around. With some hesitance, he threw out his cards, "Full house!"

"Ah, I'm done for!"

Accompanied by a joyful female voice, a cold gaze from the opposite side shot over and subconsciously tapped on the cards on the table. Mr. Dion also bitterly lowered his eyes.

He wasn't trying to bring anyone down on purpose. He simply had no other cards to play.

She had already been eyeing a card on the table. Who knew that she would miss it ever so slightly?

Carolien wore a bright smile. Despite the gloomy expression of the man opposite her, she ignored him. She spread out her cards with a winning look in her eyes. It could not be denied that she was very attractive when she smiled. Her smile could outshine the brightest stars in the sky. Her eyes were especially charming, especially when she

stared at someone. They were filled

with emotion and extremely

enticing.

Elijah's eyes narrowed, and he didn't react at all. He casually picked up a few

chips and threw them in front of her.

Retracting her hands, Carolien was not at all displeased. She once again stacked up her chips for the next bet.

Carolien was not unfamiliar with

vto

mahjong. Her mother liked it, and her family ran a nightclub. Card games were common in their spare time, thus, she had learned howt play at a young age. After listening to them over the years, she also learned some skills. Relying on her extraordinary memory and calculation, she won three games in one go. When she won again, Elijah and the other two men were shocked. Elijah could not help but look at her as he frowned slightly.

"She has some tricks up her sleeve after all. It seems like she's not bad!"

Holding the chips, Carolien smiled like a flower and threw a teasing look at him. Alfred just so happened to catch her gaze.

"Elijah, don't just focus on exchanging looks. If you're that good, then prove it. We're all waiting to be wowed!"

He glanced over sideways while his slender fingertips came to a halt. In a lazy position, he leaned the other way. His posture straightened.

"Is he serious?"

The small action made Hudson's gaze shift. Even Carolien felt her heart lurch.

Again, she drew a card. It was the card she wanted. She had a good hand, but it wasn't the best. Elijah revealed his cards to show a better hand.

"Damn it!"

There was a burst of exclamation around, and then everyone's eyes converged on Carolien. When she got up, she took off her red lace outer, leaving only her skin-tight red singlet. Her flawless delicate fair arms were exposed at once.

In an instant, the men's gazes all looked over. However, no one dared to stare for too long. They forced themselves to look back at the table.

The next round was even faster. As soon as the cards were dealt, Elijah threw his hand down. Carolien was so shocked that her brows immediately knotted. Raising his eyebrows, Elijah shot a gloomy look over. His expressionless face seemed to be yelling at her, "Take it off!"

All the fiery gazes turned to the bright red figure in the center. Just as everyone was wondering whether she was going to take off her skimpy top or skirt, Carolien stood up and then squatted back down again...
