BXBX NOVEL Chapter 543 - 543: Why Should I Give It to You?
“Yelena, I feel like I’m having a great streak of luck today. How about I play another round? What do you think?” Connor earnestly asked Yelena.
Yelena, who was originally sorting out the chips, couldn’t help but pause when she heard his words.
Then, with a puzzled expression, she shouted at Connor, “Connor, have you gone crazy? We’ve already won so much money. Why do you want to continue gambling?”
“I’ve never seen so much money in my life, and I always feel like this money doesn’t belong to the two of us. So I don’t want to take it!” he said to her.
She paused for a moment after hearing his words, and she could understand where he was coming from.
After all, he wasn’t a wealthy person. On the contrary, he used to be very poor and had to rely on delivering takeout to support himself.
Now suddenly receiving such a large sum of money, it was understandable that he couldn’t accept it.
It felt like a windfall dropping from the sky, but when that windfall landed in front of you, you wouldn’t have the courage to spend it because you would feel extremely uneasy.
“So what do you plan to do now?” Yelena hesitated and asked Connor softly.
“I don’t know how to handle this money right now, so I’m thinking of letting fate make the decision for me. Let me gamble this money one last time. If I win, we’ll take the money and go. If I lose, you still have eight million in your hands, right? We both would have won money, so there’s nothing to regret!” He smiled and said to her.
“Then let’s take out all the money we’ve won!” She thought for a moment and generously said to him.
Connor didn’t expect Yelena to agree so readily, but in fact, he wanted to leave the eight million to her.
Although this amount of money wasn’t particularly significant to Yelena, it could still help her change her current life.
But he never expected that she would want to take it all!
“It’s alright. Let’s just use the chips on the table. Even if we lose later, we won’t be at a loss!” Connor smiled and said to Yelena.
“Okay, I support your decision!” Yelena, who wasn’t lacking money herself, didn’t care much about this sum of money.
Moreover, she believed that all this money was won by Connor alone, so even if he lost in the end, it wouldn’t matter.
He was surprised to see Yelena’s enthusiastic agreement. His impression of her had also changed quite a bit at this moment. He realized that although her personality was sometimes quirky, she was actually very kind and not very materialistic.
“So, how do you plan to gamble?” Yelena asked Connor softly.
“I don’t think ordinary people would dare to gamble with us!” Connor casually replied, then looked up at Luke’s position and smiled as he said, “Mr. Luke, are you interested in gambling with me? Same rules as before with Jack. If you win, all these chips are yours. If I win, you’ll give me the corresponding chips!”
“Mr. Connor, what are you…” Luke couldn’t help but pause, his expression filled with confusion.
“Mr. Luke, 1 feel like winning this money too easily. If I just take it like this, I’ll feel uneasy. So I want to gamble one more time. If I win, it means this money truly belongs to me. But if I lose, then it’s not meant for me!” He explained to Luke while blinking his eyes, signaling him to quickly take away the money they had won.
Luke looked at him, stunned for a moment, and instantly understood his meaning. Based on his understanding of Connor, he believed that Connor didn’t actually want to keep the money, which was why he said such things.
“I don’t think there will be anyone in the casino willing to play at this scale with me. So how about you and I play a round, Mr. Luke?” he continued and stared at Luke.
“Hehe…” Luke smiled and nodded, understanding Connor’s intentions. He then said softly, “Alright, since Mr. Connor is interested, 1 will definitely accompany you. We’ll determine the outcome in one round. Let me have the chips prepared.”
“No need to go through all that trouble. Just deal the cards directly. You’re the owner here, I believe you won’t welch on the bet!” Connor replied with a smile.
“Mr. Connor is indeed straightforward. Let’s begin then!” Luke smiled in response and then turned to look at the manager beside him. He said in a low voice, “Ms. Lawson, why don’t you handle the dealing?”
Ms. Lawson was a skilled cheater, proficient in various techniques. At this moment, when Luke personally asked her to deal the cards, it held a certain meaning, which she naturally understood.
“Alright, Mr. Luke!” Ms. Lawson smiled and responded. She then walked over to the gambling table, started shuffling the cards, and dealt three cards to Connor and Luke.
Connor picked up his three cards, carefully examined them, and then placed them on the table. He said, “1 have seven points!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Connor, I have nine points!” Luke revealed his cards and smiled.
“All…” Connor pretended to sigh with regret and then turned to Yelena, saying, “It seems like fate doesn’t want me to take this money!”
“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have let you gamble. With this money, we wouldn’t have to do anything for the rest of our lives!” she pouted and said to him.
“Yeah, if I had known, I wouldn’t have gambled!” Connor helplessly replied.
“Alright, don’t be sad. I still have eight million in my hands. Aside from my three million, the remaining five million is the money you won today. I’ll give you half of it. Although this money won’t let you live comfortably for a lifetime, it’s enough for your livelihood!” she said softly to him after seeing him seemingly saddened.
Connor couldn’t help but turn his head and look at Yelena after hearing her words.
“How about it? Are you touched? Do you think I’m treating you well?” Yelena asked Connor with great joy.
“That’s the money I won myself. Why should I give you half?” He hesitated for a moment and then smilingly asked her.
“Oh, you heartless person! If it weren’t for me lending you money, would you have earned so much? And now you want to keep it all to yourself?” Yelena glared at Connor, her expression agitated as she shouted at him..
