After seeing Kait Walker challenged Harvey York, everyone shifted their gaze toward his direction.Steven Walker then coldly exclaimed, “Harvey, are you not interested, or do you just don’t know how to play the game? Just tell us, it’s not that embarrassing anyway!”Bryan Holt then calmly replied, “Young Master Walker, why put him in such a hard spot? He’s just a country bumpkin. How can he possibly even know how to play Twenty-One and Pontoon?“He might be able to play War if you ask him to, though!”The crowd was laughing full of ridicule after hearing those words.Twenty-One and Pontoon was just a local name for the game. In Gaule, the game was called Blackjack.People that didn’t know the rules about the game wouldn’t even know if they won or lost, let alone play the game properly.Under those circumstances, people should’ve just come clean if they did not know how to play the game.Why would anyone say that they were not interested for their dignity’s sake?People like th

The entire crowd froze over after hearing those words, then burst out full of rage.“Harvey York, why are you trying so hard to get what you can never have?!”“Do you have a few loose screws or something?!”“You want Lady Walker to be your girlfriend? Why don’t you look yourself in the mirror before you say something like that?!”“Kait, no need to be courteous with people like this! Just feed him to the fishes already!”Bryan Holt, Steven Walker, and the others were boiling with anger. They wanted to slap Harvey to death in case he continued to overestimate his abilities.Xynthia Zimmer was shocked. What was her brother-in-law trying to do? Is he trying to cheat on her sister, Mandy Zimmer?If that were the case, how would Xynthia even tell her?Kait, on the other hand, did not get angry. Her expression was as cold as ice at that moment.“Harvey York, you seem confident.”Harvey shrugged.“It’s not confidence. I just like playing with higher stakes. Are you playing or not?

Tamara Ebony froze over!Xynthia Zimmer froze over!Bryan Holt froze over!Steven Walker froze over!Even Kait Walker, who flipped the card over herself, could not even utter a single word!All of them were blankly staring at the table as if they could not believe that it was real.All of them shifted their gaze toward Harvey York. They could not believe that Harvey completely won a round against Kait.This was not just pure luck!If it were actually just luck, then Harvey would be the luckiest man alive!Kait took a deep breath and sized up Harvey once again in bewilderment.Right when she first met Harvey, she knew that he was no ordinary man.But she never thought that Harvey was a wolf hiding behind sheep’s clothing!Kait utterly lost. She felt unwilling and helpless at the same time.“You lost. Are you planning to admit defeat after two more losses?“Or are you going to be my woman now?”Harvey broke the silence and looked at Kait with eyes full of excitement.Star

‘Arrogant!’‘Shameless!’‘Crazy!’‘A small man intoxicated by his success!’‘A man that has no sense of danger!’‘What sort of identity do you even have?! What place do you think this is?! How dare you take the grand prize, Kait Walker, away?!’‘Don’t you know your limits?!’After seeing Harvey’s actions, Bryan Holt, Steven Walker, and the others were all twitching their eyes. They wanted to choke Harvey to death at that moment.Xynthia Zimmer covered her small mouth. She honestly did not know how to react.‘How could Brother-In-Law be like this?’But thinking that Harvey might have other plans, Xynthia forced her resentment down and chose not to say anything.She swore in her heart that she would not let Harvey off the hook if he were really like this!Right at this moment, both Steven and Bryan gave Tamara Ebony a look.Tamara nodded, then loudly exclaimed, “This is bad. This is terrible! The two-carat diamond that I planned to give Lady Walker is gone!”“It’s worth a f

“I’ve contacted the others already!“They’ll send in the security to handle this soon!“I’m warning you, Harvey York! Take out whatever it is that you stole!“If not, you won’t be able to get away with this if we find out that the diamond’s on you!“According to the rules here, stealing something would have a punishment equivalent to someone cheating on gambling venues, and that is to have your hand broken!”Bryan Holt coldly chuckled.Xynthia Zimmer stood in front of Harvey and exclaimed, “Stop throwing out baseless accusations! Harvey wouldn’t steal something like this. He doesn’t even need the money!”“He doesn’t need the money? Xynthia, stop protecting him already. His whole body screams, ‘I’m in need of a lot of money’!“Hurry up and get over here before he drags you into the situation!”Tamara Ebony pulled Xynthia to the side and stopped her from standing up for Harvey.Before Xynthia could even say anything else, the entrance of the hall was kicked open. A dozen suited

“Harvey, if you really found something…”“Just take it out.”“Miss Ebony will also thank you.”Kait Walker, who had stayed silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Harvey was just her temporary boyfriend, but she still wanted to help him.Harvey was indifferent. “I didn’t find anything. How can I hand it over?”Kait frowned. “Harvey, you don’t understand how serious this is. ”“This place is owned by the Jean family of Mordu. I heard that the Islanders also have some shares here. If you make trouble here, it won’t end well for you.”“If you hand the diamond over right now, I’ll apologize to Miss Ebony for you and we’ll consider the problem settled. Alright?”“Apologize?” Harvey didn’t sound at all concerned. “Why should I apologize for things I didn’t do?”“Are you sure you didn’t pick up anything?” Kait’s frown deepened. It seemed Harvey didn’t appreciate her goodwill at all.Right now, he certainly wasn’t thankful for her kindness. Harvey remained uncaring, too lazy to

Harvey’s socks and shoes were taken off. His belt was pulled away, too. Yet, they found nothing.Bryan’s expression of arrogance gradually changed into disbelief. He exclaimed grimly, “Impossible! The diamond must be with him!” Lenny frowned. He kicked the security personnel away and searched Harvey by himself.The other security personnel then went through all the nooks and crannies in the entire hall. However, they found nothing.After more than ten minutes of active searching, they became downcast and exchanged gloomy looks. Even if they found the diamond in a corner, they could still frame Harvey.But now, there was nothing. What could they do?Lenny’s eyes fell on Bryan.Noticing this, Bryan frowned and nodded.Lenny took a deep breath and called in a few more security personnel, including the female ones.“Search!”“The suspect may have hidden it in someone else’s body. Everyone has to be searched!”“If he stole the diamond, then his fingerprints must be on it!”S

“Well, now. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation, Manager Thompson?” Harvey asked calmly.Lenny, who was about to leave, stopped and glared at Tamara, his incompetent friend. He then took a deep breath and said coldly, “What do you mean, Harvey?”“She has just admitted that she put the diamond in my pocket in an attempt to frame me.”“You should explain that to me, shouldn’t you?”Harvey continued. He wore a hollow, indifferent smile.“Did she? Did Miss Ebony just say that?” Lenny pretended to look surprised. “Did any of you hear it?”Bryan was the first to stand up and said, “No, we didn’t hear it!”“Yes, Miss Ebony is the victim! How could she put the diamond in your pocket?”“Not to mention, you don’t really have it in your pocket. How can you say that she’s accusing you?”Steven countered eloquently.Tamara took the opportunity to backpedal on her mistake and screamed angrily, “Stop getting ahead of yourself, York! It was just a slip of the tongue!”“The reason you could
