His Precious Love

Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Pawn Myself

“That’s right.” Meredith glanced at the poker-faced Rayna and deliberately raised her voice. “Her husband pursued me because she has a sexual disorder. Am I right, Ms. Garland? Still, you’ve really opened my eyes, Ms. Garland. Because of your gentle appearance, I didn’t expect you to be so cunning, causing me to be dismissed from Faymon Group. Alas. If I had known this side of you earlier, I would’ve rejected your husband when he wooed me back then.”

Rayna sneered inwardly. This Meredith is certainly crafty with her words. She managed to whitewash herself while dragging me through the mud with just a few sentences.

“That’s right. Even the nicest person will retaliate when driven into a corner.” Rayna smiled faintly and parted her red, plump lips. “I merely defended my marriage using a normal method, so there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“You’re so full of excuses, Ms. Garland. If you wish to defend your marriage, you could’ve just divorced him. Why did you have to go to so much trouble?”

Rayna replied in resignation, “That won’t do. I might be forced to leave him without getting anything out of the marriage if I divorced him. You’ve trained my ex-husband too well, so I had to keep my guard up.”

Feeling humiliated, Meredith glared at Rayna. She’s becoming!

The other men sitting around the table merely laughed, listening to Rayna and Meredith’s argument. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

They couldn’t care less about who was mistress in that complicated relationship as they were enjoying themselves like watching a show.

Gavin asked in amusement, “Ms. Garland, do you really have a sexual disorder? This is such a waste because you’re so gorgeous.”

Before Rayna could reply, Meredith uttered sarcastically, “Who knows if that’s the truth? After all, I heard rumors about sightings of her spending the night in a hotel with Mr. Faymon. I commend you for your diligence in working overtime, Ms. Garland.”

“Ms. Garland, we’re all close acquaintances, so we’re just joking around.” Simon chuckled and pretended to comfort Rayna, “Why don’t you take my place to play the game? I’m getting tired anyway.”

Rayna shook her head and replied tenderly, “Mr. Smith, you should find someone else. I’m not good at playing poker.”

Meredith took a quick look at Rayna as her mind raced. I’ve not seen Rayna giving Mr. Smith any advice from the moment she sat beside him. Julian also mentioned to me that Rayna is very terrible at playing poker.

Then, she inched nearer to Gavin and whispered something beside his ear. He nodded and shifted his eyes onto Rayna, staring at her lecherously as if he was yearning to strip off her clothes.

Meredith got up from Gavin’s embrace and chirped, “You shouldn’t refuse Mr. Smith’s offer since he’s being so kind to you. I’m not skilled at playing poker too. Will it be fair if I accompany you to play the game then?”

The other man sitting around the table quickly got up and vacated the seat after Gavin shot a look at him.

Then, Meredith took the seat.

“Go on, Ms. Garland.” Simon placed his hands on Rayna’s shoulder and forced her into the chair, seizing the opportunity to brush his hands against her soft skin. “You can keep the money you win while I cover your losses.”

Rayna glanced at Simon with a conflicted expression. “Is that really fine, Mr. Smith?”

“Go ahead and enjoy the game!”

Subsequently, she complied with their wishes and uttered shyly, “In that case, I shall join you all to play the game, Mr. Gibson. However, I hope you don’t disdain me because I’m terrible at playing poker.”

Gavin beamed at her. “That’s fine. This is just a form of entertainment anyway.”

After the cards were shuffled and dealt, Rayna moved the cards closer to her in an amateur manner. Meredith sneered at the sight of Rayna’s clumsy demeanor.

After the game was played for some time, Gavin revealed the river, to which Meredith showed the cards in her hands and chirped, “I’ve got a full house. I think I’m quite lucky today.”

Rayna bit her lip, seemingly feeling slightly defeated.

After a few rounds, the other players repeatedly won, while Simon had to cough up money after each game.

“Mr. Smith, I’m so sorry for making you lose so much money.” Rayna picked up the glass of wine on the table and gulped the content before throwing a tantrum. “How ominous. I know I’m bad at playing poker, but not to the extent of losing every round! Mr. Smith, let’s not have you pay for the losses anymore. I’ll use my own money. I don’t believe I’ll continue to lose!”

Simon filled her glass with more wine and replied cheerfully, “Sure. Play the game as you like.”

Rayna didn’t seem to have luck on her side because the cash in her wallet was depleted after a few more rounds.

Gavin’s and Meredith’s eyes glinted as they exchanged a sly look.

On the other hand, Rayna grew grumpier in reluctance to admit defeat, as if she was determined to gain the winning hand. Whenever her glass was filled with wine, she would swag the alcohol in frustration. In the end, she even pledged her earrings, rings, and necklace.

“Ms. Garland, I think that’s enough.” Taking in Rayna’s drunken mien, Simon knew she wouldn’t last much longer, so he put on an act to persuade her, “You’ve even used your necklace as collateral. You don’t have any more money to continue.”

Meredith was overjoyed, seeing Rayna’s pathetic appearance. She said, “Rayna, if you’re out of cash, I can loan you some. However, if we resume the game, I suggest we raise the stakes. Otherwise, the game is getting boring.”

Rayna got to her feet unsteadily as if she didn’t want to play anymore.

Still, she refused to accept the outcome of losing for the whole night. A hesitant look flashed across her reddened face.

“I don’t need to borrow money from you because I still have something that can be wagered.” She pointed at herself. “Let’s play one last round. I’ll pawn myself. I don’t believe I’ll lose again!”

Meredith curled her lips into a wicked smile as Rayna stepped into her trap. “That won’t do. You’re so drunk right now. What if you deny that you’ve made this bet when you’re sober and turn around to sue us?”

“Let’s sign an agreement then!” Rayna slammed her hands on the tabletop and announced, “I must win today. I don’t believe I’m that unlucky!”

Then, she shifted her gaze onto Gavin and Meredith and muttered, “Mr. Gibson, I’m pledging myself for this final round. What are you depositing as security? It wouldn’t be right for you to bet only your money, isn’t it?”

She wobbled and accidentally fell into Simon’s embrace.

“Oh. You’re here too, Mr. Smith.” Rayna grinned at him coyly and wrapped her arms around his neck alluringly. “Do you want to place a bet too? I-I’ll give you very good odds!”

Simon was aroused as he caught whiffs of her body fragrance. He was just about to grope her when she abruptly slid out from his embrace like a slippery eel.

He knew Rayna couldn’t escape his palm that night, so he uttered confidently, “Sure. I’ll pledge the mansion that I recently bought at Zenisan Villa. What do you think of my sincerity, Ms. Garland?”

Rayna feigned exasperation. “You’re so bad, Mr. Smith. You’re even betting your mansion worth hundreds of million. You’re just a lustful man who wants me to lose, right?”

Gavin laughed. “Fine. Since you’re being so generous, Mr. Smith, I shall wager my house at Yaleview and two percent of my company’s share.”

Rayna grumbled coyly, “Mr. Gibson, you’re just as naughty as Mr. Smith. Both of you want to see me embarrass myself.”

“Of course not.”

Seeing Rayna flirting with Gavin, Meredith was overwhelmed by the urge to rip Rayna to pieces. She’s such a pretentious woman. She’s so sl*tty that she’s even trying to seduce my man. If I do not ruin her reputation tonight, I’ll change my family name!

Meredith glowered at Rayna for a few seconds before looking away and saying with a grin, “I don’t have any mansion or company to stake, so I’ll wager two million. Is that fine?”

“Two million is too little.” Rayna frowned in displeasure. “No way. You must add something else. Don’t forget that I’m pawning myself for this round.”

Meredith gritted her teeth while maintaining the smile on her face. “What do you suggest then?”

“Four million plus an extra condition for you to run around Lunaria Lake naked for one day if you lose.”

Meredith’s facial expression changed drastically after she heard that.

Acting as if she hadn’t noticed Meredith’s grimace, Rayna mumbled in vexation, “Ah! This won’t do. I’ve not won once the entire night. Yet now, I’m placing such a huge bet against three people. There’s no way I can win.”
