All Her Secrets

A complete poker set consists of 54 cards, which was not difficult to remember. But if one wanted to remember the position of each card while shuffling and what was in each player’s hand, it would be impossible.

Even if one could remember the entire sequence of the cards and knew what cards the opponents were holding and what cards were yet to be drawn, it still didn’t guarantee a win. Poker was not only about skills but also about human nature.

Everyone who played poker had their preferences to some extent. Remembering the opponent’s preferences and knowing what combo they liked to win was tough.

Her arrogant and self-important attitude made Triston’s face turn red with anger. He couldn’t help it, so he turned to Branden.

With no one to rely on, Triston could only seek comfort from his good friend on the side. “Aidan, these two people keep mocking me! I can’t stand it!”

Facing Triston’s complaint, Aidan snorted coldly. “Hmph!” He pushed Triston away with a disgusted look on his face.
