Chapter 52
Everyone curiously looked toward the staircase.
A man about six feet tall wearing a green tank top, red shorts, and flip-flops walked in, followed by a group of men in suits. carrying heavy black suitcases. They approached Yvette, guided by a waiter.
It was none other than Eagle King.
Seeing Yvette nod, the men in black opened the suitcases, revealing piles of cash that left everyone amazed.
100 million dollars! Everyone gasped internally. The whopping 100 million dollars dazzled everyone.
Most of the people there were wealthy and familiar with money. But it was the first time they had seen someone brazenly show off 100 million dollars. Even for them, they would need permission from their families to gather that amount.
“Who is this girl? How could she easily conte out with 100 million dollars so quickly?’ everyone thought.
Ethan’s
expression was grim. He never expected Yvette to actually come up with that much money.
He was sure the money did not come from Ryan. The Lewis family would never hire someone like the poorly dressed man standing opposite him. This meant that the money really came from Yvette herself.
Ryan was also stunned. He had mixed emotions, realizing he had underestimated Yvette’s abilities.
Eagle King scratched his messy bedhead, and under everyone’s curious looks, he walked up to Yvette and said in a sleepy tone. “What’s going on, uh… Yve? Why did you decide to play this? Isn’t 100 million dollars too little? Why not add more? You rarely show interest in these things. Shouldn’t you go all out How about a check?”
Yvette smiled, her eyes showing a hint of amusement. “No need. I’m just playing casually. You can step back now.”
Eagle King cast a sympathetic glance at the gloomy man across from him, holding a silent three-minute moment of mourning for him, thinking, ‘Boss’ idea of just playing could really take him out!”
Eagle King’s voice came through the room’s speakers, capturing every word.
Everyone was shocked and thought, “What kind of lunatic is this? 100 million dollars isn’t enough? Add more? What does just playing casually’ even mean? Not having enough fun? What kind of crazy talk is this? Is there no way out for others?
However, seeing the man’s serious expression made it hard not to believe him.
Eagle King stepped aside, glanced at Ryan and Bonnie, then walked over to Bonnie. “Hey, girl, did you come with Yve?” he
asked.
Bonnie nodded politely. Normally, if she saw someone like Eagle King, she would steer clear and keep her distance. However, she felt that anyone who got along so well with Yvette was definitely a good person.
Eagle King never expected that right after their first meeting, Bonnie would already consider him a “good person.”
When he found out later, he insisted on becoming Bonnie’s godbrother and wanted to gift her a gold mine, which Bonnie firmly declined before he finally let it go
“I-I came with Yve. Hello, Boss,” Bonnie stammered.
Boss” Eagle King joked. “Girl, I haven’t been the ‘boss’ for many years now,”
Bonnie was amused, and instantly, their relationship became much closer.

“Check it over, and if everything’s okay, we can start,” Yvette said
Ethan gave her a deep look and nodded grimly. “All right. I’ll use the chips from the gaming hall. I’m sure that’s enough for you to trust me with the reputation of Sky Nimbus.“

Yvette shrugged and nodded indifferently. “As you lik
The crowd outside was astounded by Yvette’s bold move. Initially, everyone was casually here for the spectacle, but now, they were taking it seriously.
The deputy mayor’s son and a female university student-two people who seemed completely unrelated. This high-stakes gamble was too exciting to miss,
If Ethan won, it would be one thing, but if he lost, there could be chaos.
Whatever the result, Yvette would not end up well. However, for someone to casually come up with 100 million dollars, it
sejo was hard to believe she did not have any backing.
Right now, the most crucial thing was the uncertain outcome of the bet.
The students from the physics department were already stunned when they saw that 100 million dollars
They had only one thought in mind, ‘How could she be just a regular student, a girl from the countryside? She’s clearly a hidden bigwig!
All they could do was admire her.
Ethan rested his hands on the chair, asking with a sinister tone, “What are we betting on? Blackjack? Grand Hazard?”
“Grand Hazard.” Yvette said.
Ethan smirked confidently, thinking. You had the chance to take the easy path, but now you’ve barged into hell.”
His best skill was rolling dice. He had won a lot of money from many people with it.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Those outside who knew Ethan sighed, feeling sorry for Yvette. They thought, ‘If she’d chosen another game, maybe she could have taken a chance. But rolling dice? Her luck is just too low…
The physics students heard the chatter and were confused. One brave guy finally asked the person next to him, “Hi, what are you talking about?”
The man glanced at the guy who asked the question, wondering if he was someone brought by Ryan. Although it was clear they did not belong to the circle, the man was in a good mood and replied, “You probably don’t know, but Ethan is great at playing dice. Nine out of ten times, he wins. You must be that pretty girl’s friend, right? She’s going to have a hard time today.”
Everyone in the physics department heard this and could not help but start worrying about Yvette.
“Since you chose the game, don’t accuse me of bullying. You go first. Each round is 1.5 million dollars,” Ethan said.
Yvette sat in the chair, crossing her legs arrogantly. Her worn-out canvas shoes were frayed at the edges, showing they had been worn for a long time.
She extended her long fingers to tap the chips on the table. She waved her hand and said lightly, “I don’t like wasting time. 100 million dollars-winner takes all in one round.”
Everyone was shocked, bursting into excitement. They muttered inwardly, “100 million dollars and the winner takes it all in one round? This is definitely the biggest bet in Sky Nimbus’ history!”
Chapter 52
Everyone outside felt that soglay’s het was definitely worth attending.
Eagle King quietly ordered an orange juice when no one was paying attention When Yvette mentioned the bet of 100 million dollars for one round, he was the only one there calmly ipping orange juice.
Bonnie thought the scene looked strange. It was not just her, but everyone outside also felt the same way.
“Boss, aren’t you at all concerned about Yve?” Bonnie’s voice was filled with worry. She was so nervous she felt like she might explode.
Eagle King casually sipped his orange juice while fiddling with his phone, even sending a text message
He cursed inwardly. That fangirl Flying Fish dares to go missing She’s not replying to texts or calls-she’s really gotten

“Worried? What’s there to worry about? Yve could win even if she played with her toes. 100 million dollars is just for fun to
her,” he said.
Eagle King looked up at Bonnie’s puzzled face and added, “Don’t worry, girl. Unless Mars collides with Earth, Ethan can’t beat her. Relax, here’s another glass of juice for you.”
Bonnie stiffly accepted the juice from Eagle King. She took a sip It actually tasted pretty good, but her face still showed
some worry.
Eagle King sighed, thinking. Bost charm even caught the ladies’ attention.
Just drink your juice and watch. Trust me, it’s all good,” he told Bonnie.
Hearing what Eagle King said, Bonnie felt much more at ease. She turned to sit next to him, and they started sipping their orange juice together. Somehow, it felt unexpectedly harmonious.
When he heard Yvette’s words, Ethan’s expression changed immediately. The smug look from a moment ago disappeared instantly.
He never expected the girl across from him to open with a 100 million-dollar bet.
It was not that he could not come up with the money. His grandfather had set aside a fund for him, which happened to be exactly 100 million dollars.
‘Should I use the money?’ he thought. With so many people watching now, he was in a difficult situation.
Everyone was waiting for Ethan’s response.
