Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage

North stared at Pamela like an idiot.

“The Red Villa’s ghost husband is sitting beside you!” North yelled inwardly.

Oriana looked at Pamela’s with her bright and crystal eyes.

“Pamela, you seem to have a deep interest about my husband at the Red Villa.”

Pamela’s expression changed drastically. She didn’t expect that Oriana would attack her in such a way.

How could she be interested in the old man?

“Oriana, I have no interest with your husband at all. I know you don’t like me, but you can’t ruin my reputation.” Pamela spoked aggrievedly.

Oriana raised her red lips, and a hint of mockery overflowed her eyes.

“Oh, so that’s the case. If you don’t have any interest in my husband, then you shouldn’t be asking questions that doesn’t concerns you from now on. Just keep your mouth shut.”

Pamela’s face swiftly turned wan. She immediately turned to look at Deacon.

“Mr. Armstead…”

Deacon raised his head, his deep and narrow eyes looked at Oriana through the smoke.

Oriana’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Pamela had come to verify whether she and Deacon had really broken up.

Deacon wasn’t emotional when he saw her acting dodgy. But a light frown appeared on his face.

Seeing that Pamela and Oriana weren’t in good terms, Pamela felt a little better.

Harry looked at Oriana with keen interest. He realized that his brother’s bride was much more beautiful than Pamela.

The atmosphere was a little awkward now. Harry quickly chipped in,

“Everyone, don’t just sit still. Let’s play cards. North, Oriana, let’s play.”

Oriana quickly remembered the tragic experience that she had witnessed the last time she played cards. She hastily declined.

“I really don’t know how to play cards, so I’ll sit this one out.”

However, North grabbed her right wrist.

“Oriana, how will you learn how to play, if you don’t try, come on let’s go.

North dragged Oriana to the poker table.

Deacon also went to the poker table and sat on the seat opposite of Oriana. Pamela quickly walked over and sat beside Deacon.

Although it was Oriana’s plan for them to pretend as though they were fighting, but now that Pamela was hovering. around Deacon, Oriana really was jealous.

“Okay, the first round has begun. Now the cards will be played by everyone.” The boss of the game announced. The boss suddenly noticed Oriana’s furious glare on Deacon.

“Oriana, what are you doing? Are you shooting eye lasers on president Armstead?” The boss inquired.

Deacon glanced at the card tossed at him, then he raised his eyes to look at Oriana.

Oriana raised her delicate eyebrows and stared back at him with a fierce gaze.

“I’m 9. Now I’m the one with the highest number. It’s time for you to play, Mr. Armstead!”

Pamela who sat beside Deacon couldn’t continue watching. In her opinion, she didn’t even want Oriana and Deacon to be playing on the same table.

Deacon turned his head and looked at Pamela with a gentle gaze.

“Pamela, please buy me a pack of cigarettes.”

This was probably Deacon’s warmest look at her so far. Pamela’s heart flourished with excitement. Before. Pamela left she gave Oriana a proud look.

After sending her away, Deacon’s diverted his gaze back to Oriana. He slowly played the card in his hand, it was 10

He had won her again.

The two bosses who directed the game quickly burst out into a loud laughter.

“Beautiful Oriana, president Armstead has won.”

“According to the rules, president Armstead can make a request from you.”

Oriana blinked severally, she lifted up her head and stared at the man before her like a deflated balloon.

“I’m willing to admit defeat. I don’t know what President Armstead wants. I can buy him a pack of cigarettes too, that if he wants.”

Deacon leaned his stiff back lazily against the chair. Oriana knew that he must be happy for the opportunity. She stretched out her leg from under the table and kicked him.

Deacon was indifferent, his eyes were still glued to her.

“Mr. Armstead, I think Oriana is too embarrassed at the moment.” One of the bosses said.

Deacon’s eyes overflowed with care. He said in a low voice,

“Okay, I’ll request something less difficult. Oriana, call your husband.”

Oriana’s eyes widened and her face was covered in shock. Although he was her legal husband, she didn’t know what to do at the moment.

Deacon stared intently at her, obviously teasing her. Oriana quickly stood up and mumbled,

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

The bosses quickly shouted,

“Didn’t Oriana just say that she’s ready to accept defeat? Why are you running away?!”

“Oriana definitely won’t be allowed to play again in the future.” The second boss added.

Deacon focused his gaze on Oriana’s figure which was disappearing through the door. He slowly took in his lower lip and released it almost immediately.

After Oriana had left, Deacon had left as well. Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming dull again, North stood up and said,

“Since president Armstead and Oriana are gone. I’ll play with you.”

“North, we won’t dare to play with you. If you lose, who are you going to blame?”

North let out a breathe and shook her head lightly.

“Are you by anyway looking down on me? If I lose, then I lose.”

“Everyone in LA knows that boss Raven dotes on you. If you lose, then he’ll definitely pay the bill.” One of the bosses said, and the other nodded in affirmation.

A low–pitched voic

North looked up and Raven’s handsome face was staring directly into her face. She didn’t know when he had come over, he just stood with one hand stuck in his trousers pocket.

The bosses let out a loud laughter in a bid to wave off the air of awkwardness that they felt.

“Young master, Raven, you’re here.”

“Young master, we were just discussing now that if North loses the game, that you’ll pay for it.”

Raven took out his hand from his trouser and propped it on the handle of the chair behind North. He looked at North dotingly and muttered.

“Just go on and play. I’ll pay if you lose.”

North let out a chuckle and responded,

“Bro. I’ve made money now, okay? So I can conviently pay for myself.”

Hearing her words, Raven’s cold black eyes quickly turned cold.

North didn’t spare another glance at Raven, she focused her attention on the card in her hand.

Gwen walked over to them and said to Raven,

“Rave, it’s your birthday, let’s have some fun. The ladies and I, have a dance for you.”

Gwen turned to glance at the ladies which were brought in earlier by Harry.

Raven withdrew his gaze from North’s body and returned to the sofa. His face was indifferent.

Everyone suddenly cheered,

“Young master, Raven, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite them to perform for you!”

Gwen snapped her fingers twice. The ladies who were on the sofa stood up and went to the stage.

Gwen had already changed into a more comfortable and sexy outfit. Her figure was very attractive. She stood confidently as she looked at Raven.

Harry didn’t expect that his sister would join the ladies. He rolled his eyes angrily as he could do nothing.
