Her Biliionaire Husband

Her Billionaire Husband Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Crayson’s Bad Fall

Veronica beamed as she showed her hand.

She had been on a roll since the beginning of the last few rounds, and she was working her way into a winning streak.

Matthew, on the other hand, had on the ideal poker face as he sat stoically next to her. Little did he know that Ruka, who was perched on the seat behind him, was aware of the basic rules of poker even if she hardly ever played. She had watched in grim disbelief as he discarded cards that would have given him a good hand and feigned bad luck by folding during bets. He was pulling back to let Veronica win.

With her newly-boosted confidence, Veronica got her head in the game and began to slay. As a result, her bank account with a meager sum of seventeen thousand had an additional amount of hundred and fifty thousand dollars!

In fact, she wasn’t the only winner; Xavier and Matthew had won several rounds as well, leaving Yvonne as the odd one out who somehow managed to lose over four hundred thousand dollars during the game.

“Oh, man, talk about sore luck,” she moaned ruefully. She turned to look at Conrad in despair. “Conrad, you said you were gonna sponsor me, right? We’re splitting this fifty-fifty.”

“She has a point, Uncle Conrad,” Veronica sang, so happy that she was oblivious to how Matthew had let her win most of the rounds. “I told you to sponsor me and you refused to. Bet you’re licking your wounds now.”

Conrad shook his head in mock exasperation. “Oh, I should have listened to you, Veronica,” he said melodramatically.

Meanwhile, Matthew leaned into his seat and stared at the cards he was holding: three Kings and two Aces. He had a full house, and if he had shown his hand, he would have won the pot for sure. There was at least twenty grand worth of winnings after the bet was raised, but at the last minute, he\ decided to let Veronica win. Folding, he tossed his cards into the center pile and pointed out nonchalantly, “Someone’s on a roll.”

“Of course. I’ve never lost a game of poker,” Veronica said proudly, unaware that her poker skills were no match for Matthew’s even though she was admittedly better than average players.

“Winner buys everyone a meal,” Yvonne piped up, wiggling her brows at Veronica as if to remind the latter that lunch and dinner would be on her.

Veronica nodded. “I’m more than happy to.”
