Bogus Billionaire Chapter 851
Back when Yvonne was still at the Hackett's residence, she had often played poker with Mrs. Hackett. So she knew her way around the game. At first, Yvonne had been unwilling to join Caroline and the others, fearing that they would shower more praise on Caroline. However, since Caroline didn't know how to play, Yvonne figured she could outshine her in poker. Unaware of Yvonne's thoughts, Marietta felt relieved to see the former becoming more sensible. "Alright, so four of us can form a table."Betty had no objections to that. "Sure."Then, the four of them took their seats. Before the game started, Yvonne said, "Mom, Mrs. Yates Senior, I don't know how to play. So please go easy on me."She had said that on purpose. She wanted to impress everyone with her skills. Soon, the first round began. Just as they were about to receive their cards, the other three ladies noticed something. At some point, Kirk had asked someone to place a chair behind Caroline. She didn't turn bac

"Yvonne, right? You do know how to play poker, don't you?" Betty questioned. After all, even if words could deceive, her skills could never lie. In Caroline's case, Betty could see she did not know how to play from the way she drew her card. But as for Yvonne … Yvonne didn't think much about it. She shuffled the cards, saying, "Mrs. Yates Senior, I don't know how to play. It's just pure luck this round."Betty scoffed softly in response. It was almost inaudible to others.Soon, the second round began. When it was Caroline's turn, she didn't rush to play her hand. Instead, she focused on her cards. In the previous round, she had lost a million dollars. And Kirk was the one who paid it.Caroline hadn't expected Betty to play at such high stakes. Hence, the former knew she couldn't afford to lose this round. "Don't stress about it," Kirk assured Caroline as he looked at her cards. "Just play however you want to."Caroline bit her lip before replying, "I owe you too much mo

Betty's expression darkened. "What do you mean by that? Does Carrie have to lie about such a trivial thing? Can't she just be a quick learner?"Marietta furrowed her brows slightly, too. Seeing that, Yvonne hurriedly tried to explain herself. "I didn't mean it that way, Mrs. Yates Senior. Let's continue with the game."She refused to believe Caroline would have such good luck in the next round as well. Caroline didn't want to spoil the mood, either. So, she chimed in, "Let's continue playing, Mrs. Yates Senior."However, Caroline still won in the next two rounds. After losing five million dollars, Yvonne became somewhat unsettled. Suddenly, her gaze fell on Kirk. Winning once could be luck. However, Caroline had won three times in a row.Yvonne realized things weren't that simple. This time, she handled it cleverly. "Sir, could you please get me a glass of water?"As she spoke, she even deliberately cast a seductive glance at Kirk.Yet, Kirk didn't even flinch, and his gaze r

As soon as Yvonne finished speaking, she heard Caroline declare, "I won.""That's impossible!" Of course, Yvonne couldn't believe it. Caroline flipped her cards one by one to show Yvonne. "Why is it impossible?"When the latter saw the final card, she held her breath momentarily. It was a royal flush!"No, that's impossible! Didn't you say you don't know how to play poker?" Yvonne questioned.Caroline smiled faintly and answered, "That's right. But I learned it on the spot.""That's even more impossible! How did you learn it on the spot? No one taught you!" Yvonne argued."Why do I need someone to teach me? Can't I learn by observing?" Caroline countered, chuckling as she looked at Yvonne. "We've played so many rounds. Even a fool could pick up something, right?"Nevertheless, she wasn't up to Kirk's level. He had probably figured out all the rules after the first game. "This one doesn't count. Let's play another round."Yvonne was still convinced that Caroline was merely

After Caroline left, the crowd dispersed. Betty didn't feel like playing poker anymore. So she dragged Marietta out to the garden to bask in the sun. "It feels so nice to be in the sun, especially at this time. It's so warm," Betty commented while squinting to see the sun. After a moment, she turned to Marietta, asking, "Do you know what's on my mind right now?"Marietta quietly stared at her, waiting for her to continue. As expected, in the next second, Betty said, "I'm thinking about Carrie."She added, "She always reminds me of the sun's comforting warmth. She has a way of bringing a sense of comfort to people.""You're right. Speaking of which …" Marietta replied while squinting. She seemed to have recalled a beautiful memory as a faint smile formed on her face. "For a while, I wished Carrie was my child. Unfortunately, that's just not our destiny."Betty, who was sitting on the recliner, immediately sat up. She glanced around. After seeing no one else was around, she a

"If this goes on, something will happen sooner or later. You're smart, so you should know it better than I do." After saying that, Betty gently patted Marietta's shoulder. Then, she sighed softly and left.When Betty entered the room, she was surprised to see Sean standing by the window. She clutched her chest before exclaiming, "You scared me!""How did it go?" Sean asked while looking out the window."I don't know. I have already shared my thoughts with her," answered Betty. She stared at Marietta's figure and couldn't help but let out another sigh. "She used to be such an energetic person. Yet she has become haggard because of her daughter. I wonder if bringing her daughter back was the right choice."Sean didn't respond. Right then, they heard footsteps coming from the stairs. They both turned around simultaneously and saw Caroline and Kirk descending from the second floor.Betty noticed Caroline's hurried steps. "What's wrong?" she inquired with concern. Just as Carolin

Sean was still complaining when they reached the airport.However, when he saw Gwen emerging from the crowd, he was overwhelmed with emotions. At the same time, he felt a surge of adrenaline."Gwen!" Sean couldn't believe his eyes. For a moment, he felt like he was in a dream. He rushed forward and tightly embraced Gwen. Only then did he believe it wasn't a dream but a reality. Gwen had finally come to the country where he had grown up! Meanwhile, Gwen was taken aback. She hadn't expected Sean to hug her in front of so many people.As more and more people looked at them, she blushed and hit Sean's shoulder. "Put me down first. Let me down! So many people are watching."After a while, he finally let go of her. With a mix of excitement and anticipation, he gazed at her. "Why are you here? Is it—""I'm here on a work trip. So I thought I might as well take the opportunity to visit Carol," Gwen replied. She noticed Sean's disappointed expression. Then, almost instinctively,

Betty's blood boiled with excitement.Sean introduced them to each other. "Mom, this is my friend Gwen. Gwen, this is my mom.""Hello, Mrs. Yates Senior."As Betty carefully looked Gwen over, her lips slowly curled into a smile. The more she looked at Gwen, the happier she became. In particular, she was pleased at how her son referred to Gwen as his friend. "Gwen, right? You must be tired after getting off the plane. Come in! Go get some rest."As Betty pulled Gwen into the house, Gwen turned back to Sean and the others for help. However, they simply smiled at her and didn't say anything."I'm going home now. Enjoy catching up with your best friend." Kirk gently patted Caroline's head. Ever since he had found out that Caroline wasn't averse to physical contact, he would touch her from time to time.Caroline didn't notice this, but Kirk did. She was unguarded against him. This discovery had been enough to keep him awake for several nights.Caroline watched Kirk leave before r
