Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 43: Ignorance is Bliss

Sofia couldn't believe she ran into Selena here, her eyes were practically shooting sparks.

She had lost face in front of Raymond because of Selena before, and had been thinking about how to win back his favor. But before she could do anything, she encountered this bitch again. Selena ignored her and turned to look at Raymond with a very polite attitude. "Mr. Montague, can you lend me some chips? I'll pay you back double later."

Everyone watching was surprised. There were many women trying to fawn over Raymond tonight, but his attitude remained cold, as if he wasn't interested in anything.

And now, Selena was talking to him in front of so many people? If she was single, her intentions were obvious she probably wanted to get close to Raymond.

But she said she was already married, so why would a married woman ask Raymond for money?

What a foolish way to attract attention.

Raymond didn't expect Selena to come to him and was still in shock when Alex pushed half of his chips over, his features still gentle and refined, but with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

His thoughts were the same as everyone else's watching he thought Selena's attempt to catch Raymond's attention was quite low-level.

So low-level that it was almost tasteless.

"This deal seems quite lucrative, Miss Selena. Do you mind if I lend you mine instead?"

Selena asked Raymond for chips as a result of her own consideration. After all, she didn't know anyone else at this table, but she would have to cooperate with Raymond in the future, so she had to speak up. But since someone was willing to lend her chips, she generously accepted them. "Thank you."

Alex didn't even look at her and just curled his lips slightly.

Everyone could see that he didn't want her to take advantage of the opportunity to harass Raymond.

Selena didn't care, though. She got her chips and looked at the dealer.

The dealer quickly showed his signature smile. "Since everyone's ready, let's start the game..."

"Hold on."

Just as the cards were about to be dealt, Joseph spoke up and stopped the game. "Why don't we play with unlimited bets tonight?"

This was a Texas Hold'em poker table, and as the name suggests, there was no limit to the amount of bets that could be made. You could lose everything overnight or become filthy rich instantly.

Someone had played with unlimited bets here before and lost one hundred billion dollars, reportedly jumping off a bridge afterwards. The body still hasn't been found.

Joseph, as the only son of Citibank, naturally had money, and everyone else at the table, except Selena, were all top-rich second generations who could afford it. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Selena. It was almost as if they were telling her to step down.

Joseph smiled, and he had already decided to embarrass her. "Have you ever played with unlimited bets before, Selena?"

Selena remained calm and asked seriously, "What's unlimited bets?"

Joseph's face froze. After talking for so long, this woman didn't even know what unlimited bets meant?

He gritted his teeth and suddenly felt like a self-directed clown.

"It means there's no limit to how much you can bet. We usually start betting at a few million. Can you afford it?"

Selena glanced at her stack of chips and couldn't help but ask, "So how much are my chips worth?"

Upon hearing this question, Joseph finally couldn't hold back anymore. "Don't you remember coming here before? You don't even know the value of these chips?" Selena blinked innocently. "I've never been here before."

Not even if she had, she wouldn't admit it.

Forget about Joseph's reaction, even the other people watching were almost speechless.

So she was a complete novice?

The chips in front of her were worth ten billion dollars. No wonder she dared to take them, but she didn't even know how much they were worth! Ignorance is bliss!

Everyone at the poker table fell silent, while those watching silently snickered.

In this atmosphere, Raymond let out a light laugh, his eyes showing a hint of amusement.

It was the first time he had laughed tonight.
