Chapter 43: It’s simply fearless of those who don’t know!
Natalia didn’t expect to run into Victoria even here, her eyes were spitting fire.
Because Victoria had embarrassed her in front of Nick the last time she was in the office. She had been trying to find a way to make up for it lately, but hadn’t had a chance to act on it before she ran into her again.
Victoria ignored her and turned to Nick in a polite manner.
“Mr. Andrews, can you lend me a little chip? I’ll double it back to you afterward.”
There was surprise in the eyes of the onlookers, there were indeed a lot of girls to flatter Nick when he came here tonight, but his attitude was always cold, as if he couldn’t be interested in anything.
And now Victoria was talking to him like this in front of all these people?
If she was single, it would be obvious that her purpose was probably to get Nick’s attention.
But she said it herself that she was married.
A married woman, asking Nick for a loan?
What a stupid way to get attention?
Nick did not expect Victoria to look for him. Before he could react, Aidan on the side raised his hand and pushed half of the chips in front of him to her. His eyebrows were still exquisitely gentle, but the bottom of his eyes were filled with a faint sneer.
He thought the same as the rest of the onlookers and found Victoria’s way of trying to get Nick’s attention cheap.
It’s so low level that it’s kind of boring.
“That sounds like a good deal, Poppy wouldn’t mind borrowing mine?”
Victoria asked Nick for a loan, since she had to make trade offs.
After all, she was unfamiliar with the people at this table, but she was already working with Nick now, so she asked to borrow from him.
But since someone was willing to lend it, she graciously took it, “Thank you.”
Aidan did not look at her, but tugged lightly on his lower lip.
Anyone can see that Aidan did not want her to take the opportunity to harass Nick.
However, Victoria didn’t care and got her chips before she looked at the dealer.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The dealer was quick to show his signature smile, “Since all of you are ready, the card game will officially begin…”
“Slow down.” Weston spoke up to stop it, “Why don’t we play unlimited today?”
This was the table where Texas Hold’em cards were played. The so-called unlimited stakes, as the name suggested, had no upper limit on the bets. It can either be a person dumping all his money overnight, or they may just get rich.
Weston, as the top tier of Henderson Bank, naturally had the money, and all the others at the table had too, except Victoria. They were all top heirs and could afford to play.
Instantly the eyes of the crowd fell on Victoria, and it was almost as if they explicitly told her to get off the stage.
Weston had a smirk on his lips, determined to embarrass her, “Poppy hasn’t played unlimited stakes before, have you?”
Victoria’s face was still calm as she inquired earnestly, “What’s the unlimited bet?”
Weston’s face froze, after all this time, this woman didn’t even know about the unlimited bet?
He clenched his teeth, feeling like a self-directed clown all of a sudden.
“There’s no limit to losing. We all bet millions to start. Can you afford to lose?” Weston replied impatiently.
Victoria glanced at the chips she was holding and then inquired, “So what are my chips worth here?”
Upon hearing this, Weston couldn’t help but say, “Haven’t you been here before? You don’t even know the value of chips
Victoria blinked, rather innocently, “I haven’t been here.”
Not to mention Weston, but the rest of the onlookers nearly spit blood.
So she was a pure novice?
The chips in front of her were worth a billion dollars. No wonder she dared to take them, so she didn’t even know how much they were worth!
It was simply fearless of those who didn’t know!
The others at the card table were all silent, and the onlookers were eerily silent.
In such an atmosphere, Nick let out a soft chuckle, a light smile adorning his eyes.
It was the first time he’d laughed tonight.
