Crystal heaved a sigh of relief; she had thought that Eric cheated her.
On the contrary, Paul stared blankly at the pointer, could not believe his eyes.
Booing sounded again.
For the onlookers, they didn't care whether Paul won or lost at all. What they enjoyed was just joining in the fun of gambling.
In an instant, Paul won two cities, with Nancy in exchange.
The charming bunny girl shrugged with regret.
"I'm sorry, sir, you lost. But you've gained the property rights of two cities. The future development rights of the two cities from now on belong to you!"
Another bunny girl walked over with a tray with documents, pens, and ink pad on it. "Sir, please sign your name on the document."
The bunny girl presented the documents to Paul.
"What's this?"
Paul finally came to himself.
"This is the property rights you won. As long as you sign the document, the two cities will be yours," the bunny girl explained in patience.
Paul leafed through the document and did not want to sign at all.
But it was like an arrow on the bowstring, he had no choice but only to sign it. Besides, only fools would reject such a pie in the sky.
"Paul, what are you hesitating about?" Eric urged Paul while playing with the chips in his hand, "Just sign it. Bet is a bet. Besides, you've won two cities so easily."
"I didn't expect that silly woman could bring you such a big benefit," added Eric.
Without retreat, Paul forced himself to pick up the pen.
His fingers paused in the air, and finally, he signed his name on the document.
****
The contract was in triplicate. The bunny girl gave one copy to Paul and let the other two be taken away.
Then she took out another document.
"This is the selling contract of your plus one, please sign your name here, at the "Guardian" column."
Paul stood still.
"Miss, please sign here," the bunny girl turned to Nancy.
Without hesitation, Nancy picked up the pen.
However, Paul suddenly gripped her wrist tightly.
He gazed at her with meaningful eyes. A tide of emotion rose in his mind.
"Do you know what it means if you sign it?" Asked Paul.
"I know. You've told me," Nancy blinked.
"Then why are you signing it?!"
Paul didn't understand.
Nancy gave him a bright smile. "Why not? Paul Burnett, I'm fed up with you! Every minute, every second staying with you is a torment. I don't know what's the point of you keep pestering me. If you want a son, countless women queue to have your baby, you don't need to cling to Clark and me. Though I know you're just trying to create difficulties for us..."
Nancy broke away from Paul's hand, added, "I have to thank you for taking me as a bet so that we can end everything between us. Please, don't pester me anymore!"
A trace of surprise and appreciation flashed over Eric's eyes, the woman was not as silly as he had thought.
Her words undoubtedly added fuel to the flame, it's the last blow to Paul.
She cut off their retreat in full view, and if Paul urged her to stay beside him, his pride would be trampled under Nancy's feet.
End everything? Great!
"Fine. Stupid woman. You have it coming! I shouldn't stop you!"
Paul severely dropped her hand, smiled evilly, "If you can't bear the torments someday, you can come to beg me for recycling you."
Nancy raised her chin, goggled at him with stubborn eyes.
"Don't worry, I will never beg you!"
Paul's heart ached like being drilled. Nancy signed her name on the contract smoothly and neatly and made a fingerprint on the name at the request of the bunny girl.
"Okay, I'm done. Your turn!" Nancy urged.
Paul coldly took over the pen. The expectant looks on Nancy's face completely angered him.
He sneered, thinking that Nancy had been captive all the time, did not go through any waves or storms. It's a good chance for her to experience the danger of society so that she would realize how good he was.
Finally, he signed.
The bunny girl took over the document and said to them, "Now that you've signed the agreement, you have to abide by the items of it."
Paul did not speak, while Nancy nodded with obedience, "Um! I will!"
At this time, a loud burst of applause came from above.
A refined and courteous good-looking man in black suits appeared.
Marcos held the goblet, with one hand thrusting in his pocket, proposed a toast to the guests, and drank up the glass of wine.
The guests were all friends of Marcos. They raised their goblets one after another.
"Keep having fun, my friends. Today is the opening of my gambling yacht. Everyone can get a million-dollar chip as a welcoming gift for my dear guests. If you lose, just keep it on my account. Wish you good luck!" Said Marcos.
A great cheer went up from the crowd, obviously, the guests were satisfied with Marcos' generosity.
As soon as Marcos finished his speech, he walked towards the gaming tables.
After gaining million-dollar chips without effort, the crowd scattered away to the gaming tables to have fun.
It's just that a few couples were still grumbling about the roulette he had arranged.
"Mr. Garcia, you're too cruel-hearted. You screwed us over," a guest said to Marcos.
"Take it easy, it's just the touchstone of your love... If you two are not in true love, you'll break up sooner or later. Why waste each other's time?"
"No one could resist such a temptation."
Marcos raised his chin, took a glance at Eric.
"See? There is one."
As soon as they entered the casino, they had already noticed Eric, who had a magnificent aura, as noble as a king.
And the woman beside him was exceedingly stunning. Every man was desperate to possess her...
The man quipped, "With such beauty in arms, I would be willing to give up everything."
His ex-girlfriend heard his words, picked up the goblet, and poured another glass of wine at his face.
Marcos giggled, "Help yourselves, I gotta greet my old friends.. Excuse me."
