Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 379

Raising his gaze, Riggs smirk yet, it didn’t show arrogance nor did it displayed anxiousness. He bet, “All in.”

The man across Riggs stared at him for several seconds, trying to analyze his expression. In this game of poker, one of the things that a player needed to take notice was their opponent’s facial expression.

‘Is he bluffing? What cards are on his hand? He doesn’t have any money on him if he loses. No, it only takes a royal flush to beat mine. Does he have them? Huh, that needs the biggest luck. That’s right.’ The man calculated their situation and looking at his straight flush, he regained confidence.

“All in.”

Once the man uttered his last remarks, it caused a huge uproar from the bystander as they were fired up with this unnerving atmosphere.

“I must say, Mr. Ong, this had been a spectacular night.” Alexander Han who had bid his farewell to his money and accepted his fate chose to compliment the host of the night. After all, his mission was to get the trust of this man and get his invitation to his main event that Seraphina was eyeing.

“Haha! I am more than glad that I didn’t waste your time, Mr. Han.” David Ong heartily responded that made him tightened his grip on Venus’s slender waist before the group of three turned their attention back on Riggs’s table.

As the player took turns with their bets, the time they had to unfold their cards finally arrived. When the man across Riggs revealed his cards, the watcher’s eyes lit up, especially those who placed a stake on him.

“Straight flush…” Alexander Han muttered in awe as he saw that he was close to winning. For a brief moment, he felt like celebrating and disregarded Venus or Riggs since Venus was taking advantage of him. After all, his hard-earned money was involved and this is a gamble.

Glancing at Venus, Alexander Han furrowed his brows and a sly smirk formed on the corner of his lips seeing a slight change with Venus expression. “Ms. Clara Ye, is it safe to say I won the bet?”

David Ong also turned his eyes to Venus and frowned. Although he felt bad for his date, what could he do? This is a gamble; winning and losing was part of it. Hence, he could only console her afterward. Moreover, it’s her money anyway.

“Mr. Alexander Han, don’t celebrate just yet… it’s hard to cope with it afterward.” Raising her left eyebrow, Venus smirked seeing that Alexander Han lowkey rooting for their opponent.

‘Damn you. Don’t you dare show your face to me after this — I’ll strangle you to death.’ Venus smiled with a knowing look while marking his confidant’s head inwardly.

Upon seeing her smile, Alexander Han somehow guessed what’s going on in this black cat’s psychotic mind. He cleared his throat and decided not to respond, afraid that Venus would snap and lash out on him then and there.

“Well?” The man sneered seeing that Riggs gaped after seeing his cards. Surely, this face he was making was enough to know that Riggs lost.

Riggs heavily sighed and after a second, he laughed evilly that resounded across the whole vast room. His laughs froze the man’s sneering front as he felt his back shuddered with this devious laughters.

‘Did he lose his mind?’

After some time, Riggs managed to stop his jubilation as he raised his gaze and met a pair of confused eyes across him. He jeered, “Man, I thought I was a goner. Hehe, didn’t I told you, not every day is a happy day?”

With that said note, Riggs revealed his cards and to everyone’s surprise, it was a royal flush! Everyone was stupefied upon seeing his cards; especially the man across him.

Alexander Han, on the other hand, wept inwardly as if he had seen his money flew away from him.

‘Damn, he did win…’

“Wahahaha!” Aside from Venus and Riggs, the happiest of all was old man Zhang. For a minute, he doubted Riggs and already schemed how to torture the man if he loses the round. Alas, that seemed to be unnecessary now, as he profited an enormous amount of money tonight.

“Damn, I’m so good. Wahaha!” As Riggs collected his gambling winnings, he wouldn’t let his chance to flaunt his ‘impeccable’ skills towards his opponents.

On the other hand, Venus smirked as she completely turned to face Alexander Han’s inexpressive front. “It is indeed a spectacular night, Mr. Han.”

“Ohh, what a turn of events! Haha! Mr. Han, I hope you didn’t take it to heart.” David Ong grinned as he fell in love again with dauntless and unparalleled Venus.

“Hahaha, of course not. The money I lost can’t compare to the entertainment it gave me.” Thanks to the years of being an actor, Alexander Han didn’t show a bit of disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e and pretended to be a good sport.

Unbeknownst to them, Liam Jin was watching Riggs from the corner of the room. After seeing the last round, an unreadable smirk formed on the side of his lips.

“No doubt, that was her bodyguard… uhh, my dearest Sera, will he lead me to you?” Liam Jin whispered before turning his back against the crowd and made his exit.
