Chapter_53
The room buzzed with excitement as Ethan’s dice came to a perfect stop, displaying six ones. The crowd erupted into a mix of admiration and disbelief. Ethan’s smug grin stretched across his face as he looked at Yvette, waiting for her reaction.
“Wow, six ones… that’s a record,” someone murmured from the crowd. “It’s as good as a guarantee that he wins.”
Yvette remained unfazed, her posture relaxed as she glanced at the dice. She wasn’t impressed. Instead, she simply raised an eyebrow, then looked at Ethan, her lips curling into a faint, almost bored smile. “Impressive,” she said coolly, but her tone held no hint of fear or defeat.
Ethan’s smirk faltered for just a moment, his confidence rattled by her calm demeanor. He hadn’t expected her to remain so composed after his perfect roll. The stakes were high, and her casual indifference made him feel like he was missing something.
“Are you done now?” Yvette asked, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. She leaned back, her eyes flicking toward the dice cup on the table. “It’s my turn now, right?”
The dealer, sensing the rising tension, cleared his throat. “It’s your turn, Miss Yvette. Please proceed.”
Yvette didn’t hesitate. She picked up the dice cup with a fluid motion, her fingers wrapped around the edges as she gave it a practiced shake. She raised the cup in the air, giving the crowd a brief moment of suspense. The weight of the moment seemed to hang in the air, drawing every eye in the room toward her.
As the dice rattled inside the cup, Yvette took a quick glance around the room, noting the expectant faces of the onlookers. For a brief moment, she allowed herself a small, private smile. She knew exactly what she was doing.
After three shakes, she tossed the dice cup onto the table with a decisive movement. The dice clattered and bounced across the polished surface, spinning wildly before coming to a stop.
The room went silent.
One by one, the dice settled, their faces showing a perfect combination of numbers: one, one, one, one, one, one.
The crowd’s reaction was immediate, a collective gasp of disbelief filling the space. The dealer quickly scanned the dice, his eyes widening. “Six ones…” he whispered in awe.
Yvette’s calm gaze met Ethan’s, her smile widening into something far more confident now. “I believe this is my win, Mr. Ethan.”
The silence stretched for a heartbeat before the room erupted into applause, the shock of her flawless roll still fresh in everyone’s minds.
Ethan’s face drained of color, his jaw tightening in frustration. He had been so certain of his victory. He had the perfect roll, and yet Yvette had not only matched it—she had surpassed him with her own perfect set of dice.
Ryan, who had been standing silently at the side, watched in stunned silence. He had seen Yvette handle difficult situations before, but this—this was something else entirely. She had not only outplayed Ethan, but she had done it with such ease that it was almost like she had been waiting for this moment.
Ethan, his pride shattered, tried to recover his composure. “This isn’t over,” he growled, but his voice lacked the usual confidence. “This was just a lucky roll. Don’t think you’ve won yet.”
Yvette’s eyes remained steady, her expression as calm as ever. “You’re right. I’ve won more than just this bet. I’ve won the respect I deserve,” she said, her words cutting through the tension like a blade.
Bonnie, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn’t contain her excitement. She rushed forward to stand by Yvette’s side, her voice filled with admiration. “You did it! You really did it!”
Yvette’s smile softened slightly. “It’s not about winning, Bonnie. It’s about showing that you’re not afraid to take a stand—even when the odds are stacked against you.”
As the crowd continued to murmur in awe, Ethan’s eyes burned with resentment, but even he had to admit that this was no ordinary victory. Yvette had turned the tables with her flawless strategy and composure, and in doing so, she had earned more than just the 100 million dollars—she had earned a reputation.
And with that, she had proven that in a game of chance, skill, and determination, anything was possible.
