Chapter 852

“Yvonne, right? You do know how to play poker, don’t you?” Betty questioned.

After all, even if words could deceive, her skills could never lie.

In Caroline’s case, Betty could see she did not know how to play from the way she drew her card. But as

for Yvonne …

Yvonne didn’t think much about it. She shuffled the cards, saying, “Mrs. Yates Senior, I don’t know how to play. It’s just pure luck this round.”

Betty scoffed softly in response. It was almost inaudible to others.

Soon, the second round began. When it was Caroline’s turn, she didn’t rush to play her hand. Instead, she focused on her cards.

In the previous round, she had lost a million dollars. And Kirk was the one who paid it.

Caroline hadn’t expected Betty to play at such high stakes. Hence, the former knew she couldn’t afford to lose this round.

“Don’t stress about it,” Kirk assured Caroline as he looked at her cards.

“Just play however you want to.”

Caroline bit her lip before replying, “I owe you too much money already. I can’t settle it.”

“You don’t need to pay me,” Kirk answered. His voice was so low that Caroline thought he was whispering it directly in her ear.

“I don’t want to owe you any favors,” she insisted. She was also trying her best to resist Kirk’s influence on

her.

Once again, his voice echoed faintly from behind. “Then win it back.”

Caroline widened her eyes in puzzlement, staring at Kirk. If she remembered correctly, he had just said he didn’t know how to play poker.

How could two amateurs win?

Kirk lightly rubbed the edge of Caroline’s clothes with his fingers. “Focus. Everyone is watching you.”

Upon hearing those words, she abruptly lifted her head. Then, she noticed Betty and Marietta smiling at her. Caroline blushed at once.

Just as she was about to fold, she felt two gentle taps on her back. She knew it was Kirk.

As if possessed, Caroline suddenly glanced at her cards once more, and she checked.

“Oh no. I missed the chance this time,” Betty remarked with a hint of disappointment. Nevertheless, she

didn’t notice anything amiss.

After all, Caroline couldn’t contribute to the pot every time. If she did that, they might start wondering if

she was genuinely unfamiliar with the game.

However, after a few rounds, everyone gradually sensed things weren’t quite right. Caroline’s random way

of playing had evolved into a distinct approach.

Caroline won the first round, leaving everyone amazed.

“Carrie, how did you suddenly catch on?” Marietta asked in surprise.

Betty chimed in, “Yes, we’ve only played one round. And now, you already know how to play. That’s

impressive!”

Caroline’s face turned red. She felt somewhat embarrassed by their praise.

As a matter of fact, it was all thanks to Kirk. She had merely played her cards based on his instructions.

Nevertheless, she found it strange. Every time Kirk gently tapped her, she knew when to fold or check.

Upon hearing the compliments for Caroline, Yvonne felt jealous. She couldn’t help but blurt out, “Maybe

she just got lucky.”

Betty caught the bitterness in Yvonne’s words. She was about to retort when she heard Caroline say, Perhaps I was just lucky this time. Mrs. Yates Senior, Aunt Mary, let’s continue.”

Betty pushed the poker chips to the middle of the table. “I don’t think it’s luck. I believe it’s because Carrie

is smart.”

Her words left Yvonne exasperated.

By the end of the third round, Caroline had won again. After losing millions of dollars in a row, Yvonne couldn’t take it anymore. “Caroline, did you say that you don’t know how to play poker on purpose?”

Since she had done that, she assumed that Caroline had done the same as well.
