Chapter 123
Card Vampires was a popular card game in the upper-class circle of Norton.
However, when she heard this game, Madison frowned.
In the past, to flaiter Regina and Daisy, she often lost deliberately. As a result, Regina would tell everyone how bad her were in playing the cards. There was even once when Daisy saw that she had lost everything, she even forced her to pretend to be a clown to please her friends.
When she thought of those unbearable memories, her heartfelt stilled.
“Forget it. I’m not interested in playing cards. You guys play. I’ll just watch you.”
In Alison’s eyes, Madison’s rejection was a sign of fear and cowardice. How could she let go of this opportunity to joke with her? She immediately smiled and said, “Miss Guzman, don’t be in a hurry to reject us. Let’s change the rules. Other than money, the loser has to satisfy a request of the winner.”
Madison smiled. “That’s interesting, but I don’t take much money with me tonight. I’m afraid I won’t be able to last a few rounds.”
She did not want to be entangled with Alison at all, not to mention that Neville was present. She just wanted to find an excuse to go home.
At this moment, Neville leaned over and said, “If you want to play, it’s on me if you lose. If you win, it’s on you.”
Ethan said coldly, Mr. Preston, you’re so generous. Miss Guzman is my guest, so I’ll be in charge of her things!”
Anthony immediately whistled. “Miss Guzman, Mr. Preston and Mr. Collins have already promised. So don’t stand on ceremony.”
Seeing the two men vying to help Madison, Alison secretly gritted her teeth in hatred and said half- jokingly, “Miss Guzman, are you a sore loser?”
Laurel also echoed. “If you can’t afford to lose, then don’t come here to play. There are so many people waiting for you, yet you’re not willing to take part. Are you looking down upon. us?”
Madison narrowed her eyes. “I’m not afraid that I can’t afford to lose, but I’m afraid that you can’t afford to lose. After all, we are all living and working in Norton. We’ll see each other often. If I let you lose all your money, it’ll seem like I’m a bad
woman.
Alison’s eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm. This woman was nobody in everything but a master in bragging.
“Don’t worry, Miss Guzman. I won’t hate you even if I lose my underwear.”
Madison smiled and said, “I’m relieved to hear that, Miss Conner.”
Anthony shuttled the cards. “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s begin.”
According to the rules of Card Vampires, there would only be two players left in the end. Therefore, there would only be one winner and one loser.
Alison was already very aggressive at the start of the game. She won the cards in a row.
Madison, on the other hand, remained calm all the time.
Neville had been playing along with Madison’s pace. He had once heard Regina and Daisy laugh at Madison’s bad skills, so
he had been assisting her during the game.
Now, it seemed that although she played slowly, she seemed to have already grasped the key. Perhaps she was not as bad as he had imagined.
A hint of interest flashed in Neville’s eyes as he threw away the only card in his hand. “I’m done. Looks like I can’t be the winner tonight.”
Bryan and Kyan knew Neville’s card skills too well. This guy was simply a g d of cards. He admitted defeat at this time because he wanted to hand the battlefield to Madison.
So they also retreated soon.
In the end, only Alison and Madison were left at the game.
Alison looked at the cards in her hand, her eyes flashing with excitement. This round, Madison was doomed.
“Miss Guzman, I’m sorry. I’ll be first.”
Alison then discarded the cards in her hand on the table.
Everyone immediately gasped.
Laurel said excitedly, “It’s a straight flush. Alison is definitely going to win!”
A modest smile appeared on Alison’s face. “Looks like I have to think about what request I should make to Miss Guzman.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Laurel fueled the flames, “I heard that Miss Guzman and Hazel are good friends, and Hazel was the most famous stripper
back then. I’m afraid Miss Guzman has learned a lot under her influence, right? Why don’t you have a performance here? I’m so ignorant and I’ve never seen this kind of thing. It must be awesome.”

In the past, Hazel had relied on performing striptease to start her acting career. However, ever since she was taken in by Madison, she had changed her appearance. As for her nasty history, it had long been whitewashed.
Now that Laurel mentioned this again, it was obvious that she was humiliating her and her company.
Neville glanced coldly at Anthony. “Seal your garbage bag. You can’t bear the consequences of stinking my woman.”
Anthony immediately reprimanded Laurel, “B i t c h, are you blind? Everyone sitting here is a reputable person. No one will f u c ki n g cater to your bad taste. If you don’t want to play, get lost!”
Laurel said aggrievedly. “Miss Guzman is not so petty that she can’t even bear such a joke.”
Madison smiled. “I think Miss Davison’s suggestion is quite interesting.”
She turned to look at Alison. “Miss Conner, what do you think?”
Alison scanned Madison’s calm face, but she did not see any panic. She could not help but feel suspicious. She was not sure if she was bluffing or if she was indeed confident.
However, she thought about it carefully. When playing Card Vampires in the Norton, a straight flush was the biggest hand, unless she could make five of a kind. But the probability was extremely small. Moreover, Madison’s card skills were extremely poor. It was impossible for her to win.
Naturally, she would not miss this opportunity to humiliate Madison. She then smiled and said, “If Miss Guzman thinks it’s a good idea, I don’t mind.”
She knew Neville too well. Even if he still couldn’t forget Madison, he must dump her again if he saw her flirting in front of

so many men.
Just as Madison was about to show her cards, Neville grabbed her wrist and lowered his voice. “If you don’t want to admit defeat, I can help you disrupt the game.”
Madison pursed her lips. “The person you should be worried about is Miss Conner.”
She then threw the cards on the table.
When everyone saw the color of the cards clearly, they immediately exclaimed.
“G o d, it’s five of a kind!”
“Wow! That’s a miracle! I remember that Neville did this two years ago. He made me pay for a motorcycle.”
“You must have learned a lot from Neville. Awesomel
Alison’s face instantly turned pale. Not only had she lost money, but she had also lost dignity. If she jumped on that stage, striped herself, and twerked before the public, that was equivalent to social suicide to herself, and a reputation bomb to her family.
Madison must have lied to her!
Only veterans with supreme card skills could make five of a kind. So Madison had been pretending to be a bad player.
She raised her eyes and looked at Madison. As expected, she saw the corners of her lips curled up, as if she was mocking her s t u p i d i t y
At this moment, Alison immediately understood. From the beginning, Madison had been setting a trap for her, luring her step by step toward the abyss.
Madison smiled and silently mouthed a sentence to her. “Miss Conner, a good hunter often appears in the form of prey. Remember to be more careful next time.”
Alison was trembling with anger.
People around whistled. “Miss Conner, take it off!”
