Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me-Chapter 117: Won

Staring at the beautiful face just inches from his, Leo Joyce felt his heart begin to pound erratically. An unnatural blush crept across his fair, handsome face. His voice was hoarse and his tone hard as he said, "Hilarious. In all of Tridell, there’s nothing I, Leo Joyce, am afraid to bet on!"

"Fine. You name the bet. We can’t have it so that if I win, I still have to sleep with you, right?" ’She wasn’t about to agree to a no-win deal like that.’

Leo Joyce reached out and pried her fingers away, one by one. His expression turned serious as he said, enunciating each word, "If I, Leo Joyce, lose, I’m yours to command tonight!"

"Those are your words. If you lose, I’ll make you sleep with Gia Miller!" Amelia threatened coldly.

"..." Leo Joyce’s handsome face instantly darkened. ’This woman actually wants me to sleep with Gia Miller? God, why did I even suggest this game?’

"So, do you dare or not?" ’In all of Tridell, she knew that the only one with the power and guts to stand up to Gia Miller’s bastard of a brother was Leo Joyce. No one but him could help her.’

That’s why she had to win this time.

’I said I’d make Cassian Jennings regret it, and I meant it.’

Seeing Leo Joyce’s silence, the three other women in the room started to egg them on. "Wow, the stakes are getting high!"

"Yeah, this is getting good! Young Master Joyce, as much as I’d hate to see you... you know... with another woman, I have to admit this is an exciting game."

"That’s right, Young Master Joyce. Don’t tell me you’re afraid you’ll lose?"

...

Between the other women’s taunts and the disdainful look on the face of the woman before him, Leo Joyce felt his anger flare. ’When have I, Leo Joyce, ever been afraid of anything!’

’Besides, there’s no way I’m going to lose. What’s there to be afraid of?’

At that thought, his lips curled into a wicked smirk. He reached out, snaking an arm around her waist. "Heh... I’m not going to lose, Amelia Avery. You just get ready to be my woman!"

"We’ll see about that!" ’I’m not going to lose, either.’

With that, Amelia pushed Leo Joyce away and returned to her seat. She tapped her fingers on the table and looked at him, her voice cold. "One card each. High card wins. Winner takes all in a single round!"

"Fine. No problem," Leo Joyce said, sitting down with an amused look and a nod.

’Whenever I’ve played high card with Amelia before, I’ve never lost. I’m sure this time will be no different.’

One of the women stood up, shuffled the deck, and placed it on the table. "Alright, you two," she said with a smile, "who’s going first?"

"Ladies first. After you, milady!"

Amelia’s lips curled into a sneer. "Fine by me. Leo Joyce, you just get ready for your night with Gia Miller."

Leo Joyce just gave a wry smile and drew a card. He glanced down at it: the Queen of Hearts. He then flipped it onto the table with a smug expression. "Well, Amelia Avery, let’s see if you have a King in your hand."

Amelia had already felt her confidence falter when she drew her card. Now, seeing that Leo Joyce had actually pulled a Queen, her heart sank completely. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

So, she just squeezed her eyes shut and, without even a glance, slapped her card down on the table.

After the card landed on the table, the room fell silent for about three seconds. Then, the woman who had shuffled the deck suddenly cried out, "OMG, Amelia, you actually got the King of Clubs!"

Hearing that, Amelia’s eyes flew open. She stared at the two cards on the table in disbelief. ’So... I won???’
