His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 140: Who Said She Would Lose?

Iven finally became obedient after he was taught a lesson by Seth.He sat beside Axel and kept stealing glances at Seth.He was curious, but he did not dare to look at him openly and could only peek carefully.

Although he already knew that Seth liked Melody, he did not expect him to make a move so quickly.

Melody looked so innocent and young.

Iven was shocked that Seth would even like someone as young as her.

Axel saw Iven just sitting there while gnashing his teeth without drinking anything.

For some reason, he found it funny.He brought two glasses of alcohol over and handed one to Iven.

"Mr.Adams, come and have a drink!" he invited.

Iven glanced at Axel's hands and saw that he was holding a glass of pure whiskey.

Iven instantly felt disgusted.

"Take it away! I won't be drinking that!" Iven blurted.

Seeing Iven like this, Axel became even more curious as he teased him.

"Since when did you stop drinking? Mr.Harrison gave us such a big surprise today.Mr.Adams, are you going to quit drinking to look like a good child?"

lven did not want to quit drinking, but after being taught a lesson the other day, he was afraid that he might get drunk and cause another wave of trouble.

Iven shook his head and felt helpless when he saw Axel drinking the whiskey as if it was just a glass of water.

He said earnestly, "Axel, you should drink less.You might make a mistake if you get too drunk!"

After that, lven stood up and walked out of the room.

Axel was left confused and had no idea what was going on at all.He looked blankly at Iven leaving and muttered, "Is that guy crazy?"

Melody sat with Seth on the side.

Worried that Melody would be bored, lven brought some Hawaiian nuts and placed them in front of her.

The Hawaiian nuts tasted pretty good, but it was a bit troublesome to eat.

Its outer shell was very hard, and it needed to be pried open with a special tool to get the nut inside.

However, as for the nuts that were readily available in supermarkets, they did not taste good because they were no longer fresh and had been exposed to the air for a long time.

To be able to taste the freshness of Hawaiian fruits, you have to eat them after they were freshly peeled.

Melody glanced at Seth and frowned.

Axel sighed when he felt that everyone had no intention of singing or drinking.

He thought that everyone was really getting old, and they were not in the mood to play anymore.

However, he still tried to propose playing cards.

"Mr.Harrison, how many rounds do you think you can play?" he asked.

Iven leaned to the side and sneered.

"Axel, it seems that you're not afraid of losing money.How can you ask us to play against Mr.Harrison? Do you think that we can win against him?"

Iven and Seth had known each other for a long time.

They naturally knew who among them was more skillful and intelligent than the other.

Seth was good at anything that his friends could not beat him in business and not even in simple games.

How could Axel not know how strong Seth was? Sadly, Axel was the host of this gathering and he could not just sit around and watch everyone play among themselves.

Hearing this, Melody slowly raised her head and gazed at Seth.Her clear and cold eyes looked a little playful, with a hint of unrestrained arrogance that no one could conquer.

"Are you very good at playing cards?" she asked.

The nice fragrance that came from her breathing slowly rushed towards Seth.

Seth's handsome face carried a charming and cynical smile.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gentle gaze landed on Melody's face.

"Not much.But I know a little about it!" Seth replied.

When lven, Axel, and the others heard Seth's words, they were all shocked.

"To think that he can even be a good liar in front of a girl he likes.I almost believed his words just now"

lven softly whispered.

If they had not played cards and other games with Seth before, they might have believed what he said to Melody.

This man was really good at putting up facades! Melody did not even have to guess Seth's skill level in playing cards, as she could already tell it by the way he smiled.

On the other hand, lven saw how Melody suddenly became curious and thought that she was interested in playing cards too.

Therefore, he took the initiative to ask, "Melody, if Mr.Harrison plays, we will surely lose.So why don't you play a few rounds with us rather than him?"

Melody shook her head and refused Iven's invitation.

"I don't know how to play cards!" she said.

Unexpectedly, lven clapped his hand and looked very excited.

He raised his eyebrows and looked happily at Melody.

"It doesn't matter if you can't play; just let Mr.Harrison be your guide.If you win, you'll get the price.If you lose, Mr.Harrison will pay for you.What do you think?" he asked.

Melody wondered if Ilven really wanted to make Seth pay if he lost.

However, Melody was not the type of person who would trick people just to make them pay for their drinks.

Before Melody could say anything, Seth, who was sitting beside her, suddenly spoke.

"Alright, let Melody play!"

Melody turned her head to look at Seth beside her with a questioning look in her eyes.

Seth, however, just looked at her leisurely.

His rare gentle eyes were filled with love.

"Such a happy time like this is rare.So we should enjoy and play!" he stated.

After Seth finished speaking, Iven, Axel, and the others instantly cheered up.

Iven clapped his hands in an exaggerated manner and said happily, "I originally thought that I would never have the chance to get money from Mr.Harrison's pocket in this lifetime.I didn't expect Melody to give me such a good opportunity today"

Iven even proudly shared how he planned to celebrate his victory in advance.

"Melody, don't worry, Mr.Harrison has a rich family background.It's not a problem if he losses at all.If I win, I'll give half of it to you as long as it can make you happy!"

After Iven said this, Axel quickly followed suit.

"I will also give half of my winnings to Miss Melody as a gift!" Axel insisted.

Seth gently pinched Melody's tender little hand and rubbed it with his other hand.

With a low and magnetic voice, he slowly said, "You heard them.If you dare to play, the two of them will give you half of the money from their winnings.Maybe, you can earn a lot in the end!"

The expression on Melody's cold and beautiful face changed slightly.

But the frown between her eyebrows showed disdain for their words.

"Why did he say that? What does he know? This man really knows how to overthink!' Melody scoffed inside. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She had never been afraid to lose money.

On the other hand, this was the first time that Axel saw Seth with such an enchanting yet shameless side.

He turned to look at Iven in shock.

Then he asked in a low voice.

"Are you sure this is the cold and heartless Mr.Harrison we know, who treats everything as nothing?" Iven helplessly held his forehead and patted Axel on the shoulder.

"Axel, the world changes, and so do people!" Seth saw Iven and Axel discussing with each other in low voices.

He kicked the table and coldly said, "Do you still want to play or not? If you don't want to play, then let's wrap this up quick!"

Although the force of his kick was not that strong, the table slammed into Ilven’s stomach, almost causing him to vomit out the alcohol he drank last night.

Iven held his stomach and looked at Seth with a wronged expression.

But he did not dare to say anything about what Seth did.

Instead, he shouted, "Let's play! And let's start playing immediately!"

Iven felt like he was always the unlucky one in their group.

Not daring to compete with Seth directly, lven had already decided to fight him through Melody.

Originally, he thought that Melody did not know how to play cards.

Therefore, he planned that once he won against her, he would be a little more merciful and let her win sometimes.

After all, Melody was a girl.

But when they started playing, it seemed like there was no need for him to do that at all.

Melody looked coldly at lven, who was gnashing his teeth.She gently crossed her arms.Who said she would lose?
