Chapter 61
Madison pursed her lips sarcastically. She also felt that it was ridiculous.
The opportunities Madison had wanted so badly in the past had only come knocking once they had gone their separate
ways.
“Ignore him. Let’s continue.” Madison said..
Hazel clucked her tongue. He doesn’t look like he’s here to play cards. He looks like he’s here to look for someone. He’s not here to look for you, is he?”
Madison frowned. Neville treated her like a troublesome shadow that followed him around. Now that he had finally gotten rid of her, Madison knew it was impossible he was here for her.
“He’s probably here looking for someone.” Madison said.
Hazel seemed to have thought of something and immediately scrolled through her Instagram. Sure enough, Hazel saw Alison’s earlier post, showing that she was at Western Cowboys.
“F u c k, what kind of s h i t t y luck is this? You came out to play and bumped into this adulterous couple.” Haz el growled. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Alison is here too?” Madison asked.
“Yes, but she’s at the VIP poker table. I heard those tables have special private rooms. Each one has a buy-in of 40 thousand. dollars, and it’s difficult to get in. We came up with this idea at the last minute tonight, so we can only play in the hall.”
Madison raised her eyebrows. ‘Indeed, it was easier to run into enemies. Madison thought.
However, the cards in Madison’s hand were too good. She could earn at least 5 thousand dollars in one round.
“Who wouldn’t want to earn money? There’s no reason to give up on this because of an adulterous couple. Madison thought.
“We’ll leave after this game,” Madison said.
“Are you worried about running into them?” Hazel asked.
Madison said casually as she threw the cards out, “I’m afraid I’ll disgust myself.”
Alison was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of public opinion. Alison had taken a bad hit, and she might have to rely on a public display of affection with Neville to regain her dignity again.
Micah changed into a knight’s outfit and walked over eagerly.
“Ladies, shall I play a round with you?”
Madison immediately recognized Micah and rolled her eyes at him. “Mr. Myers, are you that free?”
Micah clicked his tongue and said, “My friend’s ex-wife is really discerning. I’m already dressed like this, but you can still recognize me. It’s my fault for being too outstanding. No one can forget me
Madison frowned when she heard the way Micah referred to her. “Mr. Myers, please change the way you address me. It’s detrimental to your character to always s c a t t e r salt on other people’s wounds.”
Micah could not help but sigh quietly. How deeply had Neville hurt her that she doesn’t even want to be referred to this way?” He thought.

“Sure, Miss Guzman. Shall I play a few rounds with you?”
Madison looked at the remaining cards in her hand. “I’m stopping after this round.”
“Don’t. It’s only nine o’clock, Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a top-notch handsome man like me accompany you on this long night?” Micah said.
I’m not interested in men at the moment. It’s better to have a dog than to waste time on men.” Madison answered:
The comers of Micah’s lips twitched, wondering why Madison and Neville liked to compare people to animals.
“Miss Guzman, let’s play big in the next round and start the bets at 20 thousand dollars. How about it?” Micah suggested.
Madison smiled. “Forget it. I’m not good at this. I’m already lucky if I win a small game. I won’t embarrass myself in front of
you
If Madison left, Micah knew he would not be able to carry this on any longer.
Micah immediately went all out. “Logically speaking, novice players are not qualified to play with a large amount. I’ll go all out today and make an exception for this game to have a starting bid of 60 thousand dollars. How about it?
Madison could tell that Micah had the intention of keeping her here. Although she did not know what Micah was scheming, Madison wouldn’t reject someone wanting to give her money.
Madison smiled slyly. “Okay, but I want you to play with me.”
Madison had been with Neville for three years, so she knew Micah a little. Although he owned a casino, he was terrible at playing cards. With Madison’s lousy skills, she couldn’t beat an expert, but she had a good chance with Micah.
Micah gritted his teeth. “Alright!”
Micah then lowered his head and sent a message to Neville, [Neville, I’ve put in a lot of effort to help you test Madison. If I lose later, remember to help me.]
Neville’s thin lips curled up, thinking that Micah was getting himself into trouble.
Micah was so unlucky that he was capable of losing the moment he reached the poker table.
As expected, Madison won one round after another. Micah could no longer maint
smile on his face.
The stakes were at 60 thousand dollars per round. Since Madison was about to win the tenth round, she was about to gain
600 thousand dollars.
Micah’s heart ached.
Micah knew that Neville had not left, so he lowered his head and quickly sent a message to Neville, [Neville, save me, save mell
Neville could not help but walk to Micah’s side with a straight face.
Micah immediately felt that his savior had arrived, and he was looking forward to making a comeback. Micah immediately said confidently. “Let’s play another ten rounds. Are you up for it?”
When Madison saw Neville sitting opposite her, she had wanted to leave, but when she heard that Micah was about to give her more money, she smiled. “Sure.”
Micah glanced toward Neville and pressed Neville into his seat.”Neville, help me play this round.”

Micah was afraid Neville would reject him, so he said in a low voice, “Neville, it’s yours if you win. If you lose, I’ll pay for it Just play casually and treat it as a way to help me win back my dignity.”
Before Neville could say anything. Madison said, T’m only playing with Mr. Myers. If someone else is playing, forget it.”
Madison had already won 2 million dollars, far exceeding her expectations, so she was quite satisfied.
Madison stood up and was about to leave when Neville suddenly said in a provocative tone, “I thought you had become better. It turns out that you’re the same as before.”
Just as Hazel was about to retort, Madison grabbed her wrist. Madison immediately sat back in her seat with a cold smile in her eyes. “Since Mr. Preston wants to play with me, I’ll take you on. However, we have to up the stakes?
Neville directly chose the largest chip. “How about starting with 200 thousand dollars?”
Madison smiled. “Okay.”
Hazel was shocked. She reached out and tugged at Madison’s dress, saying in a low voice, “Madison, you don’t know what Neville’s standard is. Aren’t you courting death by going against him?”
Madison winked at her. “Don’t worry, I can afford to lose.”
The two of them were playing with the biggest chips, so it naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. Everyone went forward to watch.
Madison did not play well at the beginning and lost three rounds in a row.
Hazel counted on her fingers and said in a low voice, “Madison, why don’t we leave? If we continue fighting. I’m afraid you’ll lose everything here.”
Madison, on the other hand, looked calm. “What are you panicking for? There are still seven more rounds.”
After that, Madison lost eight in a row, only winning Neville once. In the end, the outcome of this game was clear. Whether Madison played or not, she would lose to him. It was just a matter of losing another 200 thousand dollars or taking 2001 thousand dollars less.
Micah was excited, but at the same time, he felt disappointed.
Micah had set this up so Neville could have some time with Madison, but Neville had thrashed Madison in each round. Everything Micah had done to get the both of them closer was going down the drain.
With Neville’s senses, he probably wouldn’t be able to get on Madison’s good side before he died.
Neville had a whole new level of respect for Madison. After all, Madison was a novice, while he was an experienced player who had never failed at a card game. Surprisingly, she had won a game.
If Madison had more experience, it would not be a problem for her to defeat Neville in the future.
Right now, there was only one game left. Neville suddenly said, “There’s no point in playing like this. How about changing the gameplay?”
Micah immediately p r i c k e d up his ears. He wondered if Neville had finally understood what he was supposed to do and was going to give in to Madison.
‘He should have done this from the start. Even if they were strangers, there was no point in defeating a beautiful lady to this extent. It wasn’t nice! Micah thought,
