Chapter 76
“Hera…”
Harrison looked at his daughter with an ashen face.
‘Is this girl foolish? Does she not see that Helena is goading her?’
Herman’s face darkened slightly. “All of you’d better restrain yourselves!”
No matter which side lost, it would bring shame to the entire Lewises.
He could not afford to lose his dignity!
Seeing his old man’s face turning sour, Hubert hastily said, “Helena, change your conditions. No one will benefit from winning this…”
Helena turned her gaze. She suddenly laughed and said, “How about this? If you lose, you’ll have to kiss Hunter Hill once!”
“No way. Choose something else…”
Hera was unsure of it herself. If she really lost, she surely could not actually kiss Hunter, right?
Her first kiss should be given to the man she liked.
Hubert whispered, “Helena, change it. Mr. Kai is still here. If you lose and run off to kiss Hunter, how will Mr. Kai feel?”
“I think you’d be better off just betting money!” Skadi said casually. After all, she would naturally stand by her best friend.
Helena replied without hesitation, “Alright, let’s bet money, then!”
Hera looked at Lauren somewhat uneasily.
Her mother had always taught her not to gamble.
Lauren pulled a purple bank card from her bag. “There’s 70 grand in here…”
Harrison swallowed his saliva and said, “Our daughter’s ignorant, so be it. But are you ignorant too?”
This 70 grand might be his wife’s last possession.
Lauren turned to Harrison. “Bring out your secret stash as well…”
“I… I don’t have any secret stash!” Harrison quickly covered his pocket.
Lauren squinted, saying, “From now on, you can sleep on the sofa!”
This man was not even willing to fork out money to support his own daughter. Was he really her father?
Harrison almost wished he could slap himself.
Why was he so tactless?
He gritted his teeth and pulled a silver card from his pocket. “There’s 40 grand in here…”
Hera also brought out her own bank card. “I have 110 grand on this card!”
The amount included the payment she just received from a supplier and the money her mother had given her to buy Nash
some clothes.
Helena scoffed. “Are you seriously trying to bet 220 grand?”
While saying this, she immediately took out her own bank card. “If we’re going to gamble, let’s go big. I have 1.5 million in here!”
Hera’s face instantly turned pale with fright.
1.5 million! Even if they sold everything they owned, they could not come up with that much money!
Skadi bit her lip. “Hera, gamble with her. I’ll cover the rest!”
After saying this, she took out all her bank cards from her bag. “I have about 1.3 million on these cards!”
Helena knew Hera’s family could not come up with that much money.
She originally wanted to humiliate Hera, yet she never expected that bitch, Skadi, to step in.
It took her two years to save up that 1.5 million.
Hubert picked up his glass and leisurely took a sip from it. “What’s there to fear? Mr. Kai’s betrothal gift is 30 million. A mere 1.5 million is nothing to us!”
Rooney said anxiously, “But that 30 million is still frozen. We can only get our hands on it once Helena and Mr. Kai register their marriage!”
Hubert laughed. “Mr. Kai has already given the engagement ring. Do you think he’ll back out?” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
With that, he looked at Harrison, whose face was turning darker. “Besides, with Mr. Kai here, it’ll be hard for us to lose…”
Only then did Rooney feel relieved, and she gave Lauren a complacent look.
Helena got up and walked toward Kai.
After whispering a few words in Kai’s ear, Kai followed Helena to the main table while holding his glass.
Hera tightly held Skadi’s hand, her face extremely tense.
This was 1.5 million dollars they were betting on.
Harrison and Lauren were so nervous that their breathing nearly stopped.
Herman was helpless looking at the two families, and he sighed repeatedly in his heart.
While other families were harmonious, his own was full of open and covert fights. It was simply unpleasant to look at.
Meanwhile, Nash crossed his arms as he stood there like a statue.
