Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 53
That means I shouldn’t go for four-of-a-kind, Stella thought. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
She drew another tile, and it was another East tile.
Now that I’ve got a pair, I have more reasons not to put it out,’ she thought.
Stella scanned her tile and drew a 3 of Bamboo.
Seeing how Keegan was silent, she discarded the tile.
Mrs. Chapman glanced at her and discarded an East tile.
“Three-of-a-kind.”
Stella took the tile and wanted to discard the 1 of Bamboo tile she had drawn just now.
Keegan then said, “Are you saving the White tile for New Year?”
Stella glared at him and changed to the White tile instead.
“Three-of-a-kind.”
Dahlia knocked on the table and discarded a tile.
Just as Stella was about to complain about Keegan’s skills, she drew a 1 of Bamboo.
Then, she inspected her tiles.
“I have three each of East, South, West, and North. This hand…”
“Come on. Discard a tile!” Mrs. Chapman urged her.
Stella paused and said in a low voice, “I’ve completed my hand.”
Then, she laid out her tiles.
Mrs. Chapman looked at her tiles and widened her eyes in shock. “A self-drawn win. The big four Winds?”
Everyone looked at Stella’s tiles.
East, South, West, North, and a pair of 1 of Bamboo. It really was the big four Winds.
Getting the big four Winds through self-drawn instantly granted the player four points.
Mrs. Chapman said in jealousy, “I was wondering why I couldn’t draw any South tiles. You were holding all
of them.”
Mrs. Chapman’s luck was excellent today. When the game started, she was only one tile away from completing her hand She initially wanted to draw or wait for someone to discard a South tile because she thought it would happen soon. However, Mrs. Chapman did not expect Stella to have the rest of the South tiles, get the big four Winds, and intercept her win
In an instant, Stella acquired four points How could Mrs. Chapman not feel jealous? She had played three rounds and only won a few points
After Stella had won the first round, her tiles in the following rounds got better and better as if she was
ona foll
Keegan watched Stella from behind. He was silent when she discarded the right tile but would casually
hart at her when she was uncertain
It only took a while for Stella to win a few rounds. The chips in her drawer gradually increased.
Stella grew more and more interested in the game.
‘It’s no wonder everybody likes to play Mah Jongg. It’s so delightful when I win the money,’ she thought.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. White did not look happy.
Mrs. Chapman looked particularly unhappy. She had been profiting for the past few hours, but she was now forking out money and about to lose all of her chips.
However, Keegan and Stella did not look like they were going to stop at all.
“Let’s call it a day.” Dahlia said just in time.
She continued, “We’ve been playing for so long, I can’t feel my legs anymore. Let’s go to the living room, have some tea, and relax.”
Mrs. Chapman breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to get up, Keegan slowly said, “Mrs. Chapman, let’s settle the chips.”
Mrs. Chapman immediately stiffened. However, it was not because she was reluctant to pay but because she felt humiliated by his straightforward request.
Dahlia frowned, “This can be discussed later. Let everyone relax and have some tea first.”
“The chips should be settled face-to-face. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to explain if there are any mistakes,” Keegan said indifferently.
Mrs. Chapman was furious.
She suppressed her anger and said, “Alright! We’ll settle the payment face-to-face. I’ll immediately transfer the money to you just in case you tell everyone that I’m a sore loser!”
Dahlia looked a little unhappy, while Stella looked awkward. Meanwhile, Keegan acted as if it was none of his business and added, “This amount isn’t enough for you to buy a shirt. How could you be a sore loser?” Then, he said to Stella, “Send Mrs. Chapman your card number.”
Mrs. Chapman was so furious that she had turned red. After she calculated her chips and transferred the money, she grabbed her bag and left before anyone could stop her.
Following Mrs. Chapman’s exit, Mrs. White did not want to stick around any longer, so she also left after transferring the money to Stella.
In the blink of an eye, only the three of them remained in the living room.
