She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 185

Sweat beaded on Serpent's forehead, but recalling the man's promise not to seek revenge, he gritted his teeth. “I call!”

The community cards were revealed one by one. Loyce's hand was a jumble of unconnected cards, while Serpent had already made two pair.

“It seems the gentleman’s billion dollars is mine for the taking,” Serpent sneered, reaching for the mountain of chips.

When the final cards were shown, Loyce had lost again—another five hundred million gone in an instant. By now, Serpent's face was a mask of pure ecstasy. He was convinced this was his lucky day. The kind of money that ordinary people could only dream of was now his.

The crowd of gamblers had swelled, packing the area three-deep. The commotion had even reached the ears of the casino's owner, Onyx Tiger, who now watched the unprecedented spectacle from a private box on the second floor.

Loyce turned her head to look at Lucian. “I’m about to lose it all.”

Without blinking, Lucian simply said, “I’ll wire more money for chips.”

It was then that Loyce finally understood he was serious. If she really did lose everything, he would probably latch onto her for the rest of his life.

She turned back to the table, her eyes glinting with a cold, final madness. “Last hand,” she announced to the room. “I will definitely win this one!”

Just before the final round could begin, the Sampson family stormed onto the scene—Adele, Quiana, and Byron had all arrived. They had heard the stories outside about a crazy woman gambling on Lester’s behalf, racking up a debt of hundreds of millions.

Adele stumbled into the high-stakes area and saw Loyce, the woman who was not only helping Lester but also plunging them deeper into debt. A wave of fury washed over her, and her shrill voice cut through the tense atmosphere. “Loyce! You jinx! Who gave you permission to gamble with the Sampson name?!”

Quiana supported Adele, her gentle voice laced with a cruel, wounded tone. “We cut ties with her long ago! Her gambling debts have nothing to do with us!”
