The Amazing Strike Back: Mommy Wants To Revenge!-Chapter 377: She’s the Chosen One

Do you think you can win Anna Thornton’s money?

Then you’re wrong!

Completely wrong!

In fact, after Anna Thornton got on the table, she only lost the first couple of rounds.

Ethan Hawthorne suspected she might have done it on purpose because everyone gradually realized something was off later.

Ever since Anna Thornton started playing seriously, no one else had won a single hand.

It’s not that Anna Thornton had exceptional mahjong skills!

It’s just that she... had incredibly good luck.

Seriously! Finn Grant can testify, he sat right next to Anna Thornton. He watched with his own eyes that Anna didn’t cheat, nor did she rely on skills, she just purely won by luck.

Finn Grant was amazed, originally from his position he could see the tiles of the person next to Anna Thornton.

Simon Chandler knew this angle was unfavorable to him, but facing Young Master Grant’s authority, he couldn’t say anything.

But who would have thought that it would never even get to Finn Grant’s turn to act, Anna Thornton was ’winning crazily’ — she was winning so much it almost drove the other three players crazy.

Have you ever seen someone win a hand as soon as they pick up the tiles?

And also, barely after drawing a couple of rounds, someone’s tile would always match with Anna Thornton’s winning tile. When she won, everyone else’s tiles were still a chaotic mess that hadn’t formed any sequence at all.

If there are people born with particularly bad luck, as bad as Conrad Sterling who loses every gamble.

Then possibly, there are people born with explosive luck like Anna Thornton.

After all, energy must be conserved.

She played for two hours since she sat down, not many rounds, and the other three wealthy young men, including Ethan Hawthorne, were almost down to their underwear.

"Anna, who would’ve thought, you’re this good at mahjong? With this skill, why be an actress? Just be a Mahjong God, you’d earn enough at the card table to last a lifetime." Simon Chandler said with a sour tone.

"Yeah, you were so good but at the start, you pretended you weren’t much of a player, and we actually believed you! I’m such a damn fool!" Ethan Hawthorne sighed.

He thought carefully, how could a woman whom President Sterling took an interest in not have extraordinary qualities?

It seems Ethan Hawthorne underestimated Anna Thornton before, thinking this woman had nothing special besides her good looks and figure.

Now seeing that both President Sterling and Young Master Grant are clearly interested in Anna Thornton, these two sharp-eyed big shots have never misjudged anyone, have they?

This woman, Anna Thornton, is certainly not simple.

Just based on her luck, if the large amounts she won weren’t due to Young Master Grant helping her secretly, that would be incredible... If Finn Grant had helped Anna Thornton cheat, they all knew the Grant Family shouldn’t be offended, but they couldn’t suffer in silence. Questions must be asked if needed; letting others lose till they’re only in underwear is a bit too much.

The issue is, they didn’t see any sign of Young Master Grant helping!

So Anna Thornton’s luck, in ancient times, would freaking make her the chosen one!

Just like before in Veridia when Anna Thornton played ’rock-paper-scissors’ with Wyatt Jagger, ten rounds in a row, and she won every single one. Anna Thornton didn’t have any particular skills, just relied on luck.

It’s said Finn Grant recently humbled himself to join a film crew because of Anna Thornton, Ethan Hawthorne couldn’t figure out why he would do this, maybe Old Master Grant asked someone to read Anna Thornton’s birth chart and wanted Finn Grant to catch some of her luck?

Ethan Hawthorne decided that in the future, he needed to interact more with Anna Thornton and not get left behind.

"Why don’t we call it a day here? It’s rare to have a party, we can’t let the hosts stay cooped up in a room playing mahjong while those girls in swimsuits catch a cold, right?"

Someone found an excuse, and others echoed the sentiment, finding an excuse to leave the table.

If they kept playing, they might really end up losing their underwear. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Anna Thornton didn’t stop them, and as everyone else got up, she continued sitting there counting the money she won.

All the chips on today’s table ended up in Anna Thornton’s possession.

At least, there was a small ten million, most of which came from Conrad Sterling.

Additionally, Anna Thornton also won two shops in the center of Aethelgard, four properties within the third ring, a car, and a yacht... these Young Master Hawthorne and the others wrote IOUs for her, waiting for Anna Thornton to have time to collect them one by one.

In any case, today’s gains were quite substantial!

Anna Thornton put the converted checks and IOUs from the chips into her bag. She was now a person carrying a fortune, her expression and actions carried a hint of caution.

However, as she looked up, she met Conrad Sterling’s deep dark gaze, and Anna Thornton immediately let out a cold snort and rolled her eyes.

Conrad Sterling initially thought Anna Thornton hated him to the bone, and with such a good opportunity today, she would definitely take the chance to bankrupt him.

Granted, given Conrad Sterling’s financial ability, bankrupting him would be quite challenging.

But at least she could’ve cleared him out and forced President Sterling to write a hundred troublesome IOUs, for him to repay slowly.

Yet, facing such a good chance, Anna Thornton didn’t take the opportunity to retaliate against Conrad Sterling?

In fact, Anna Thornton getting on the table today was deliberately arranged by Conrad Sterling to give her an outlet and channel for her anger.

After all, the past two nights had been a bit ’hard’ on her.

Anna Thornton rolling her eyes at him was to emphasize that she’s not feeling sorry for his money.

But Conrad Sterling had already made his will, and in the future, everything he owned would belong to Anna Thornton and their two children.

Conrad Sterling is already taking action against the Hawthorne Family, and by Anna Thornton’s guess, he will continue to oppose several other major families in Aethelgard in the future.

No matter how Ethan Hawthorne is currently sworn brothers with Conrad Sterling, convinced he can rely on Conrad Sterling’s support to become the Family Head, he doesn’t know that Conrad Sterling’s ultimate target is the entire Hawthorne Family.

When Ethan Hawthorne learns the truth and realizes he’s been used as a pawn, he might want to kill Conrad Sterling first.

Ethan could be the first, then there’ll be a second, a third...

With Conrad Sterling opposing the four major families, at this level of courting disaster, the day his will comes into effect might be brought forward by several decades.

Anna Thornton is a little money-grubber who won’t allow her and her children’s money to be divided or reduced.

Faced with harming Conrad Sterling’s assets and people, or sweeping the table and securing houses, cars, and yachts for Pop and Lola’s future in two hours, any non-idiot would choose the latter, right?

Even if Anna Thornton wasn’t doing it for him, Conrad Sterling still appreciated the sentiment unilaterally.

At this moment, looking at her, President Sterling’s eyes were as if soaked in water, softer than ever before.

Aside from Conrad Sterling, there was another who was imagining things.

Finn Grant suddenly interjected, blocking Conrad Sterling’s view of Anna Thornton.

"Anna, is the reason you didn’t let me play earlier because you didn’t want to win my money?"

Finn Grant had initially been quite upset, wondering why the woman he brought would help Conrad Sterling play. Did the Sterling guy not have hands of his own? Did that Sterling guy graduate from Southgate Advanced Technical College for wall-snatching skills?

But Young Master Grant figured it out now, and his mood instantly lifted from gloomy to sunny, about to float away.

Anna Thornton not wanting to win his money, not wanting to fool him, meant she truly considered him a friend.
