Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Murray had won quite a bit earlier and was on a high. Eqged on by the woman, he pushed his $3
million in chips onto the section marked “High”. The crowd was stunned.
“Darn, he’s got guts betting $3 million just like that.”
“And if he wins, he’ll get a return in the hundreds of millions.”
“Such a big spender.”
Many complimented his generous bet. The woman who came with him felt quite proud and even planted a kiss on his cheek.
“You’ve bet wrong.”
Suddenly, Mirabella’s voice was heard.Murray glanced at her, and the woman beside him looked at Mirabella from head to toe with a disdainful gaze.
Who was this young girl popping out of nowhere? Was she trying to get Murray’s attention by showing off?
Thinking this, the woman wrapped her arms around Murray’s neck, looking provocatively at Mirabella as if to say: Mr. Murray is mine, no one else should even think about him!
Murray, on the other hand, didn’t seem to take the new girl seriously. He gestured to the dealer to lift the dice cup.
The three dice, when added up, only made 5.
Murray’s face suddenly turned sour, and the woman beside him couldn’t believe it. $3 million gone in an instant.
Seeing the chips being taken away, the woman turned gloomy as well.
Just now, Murray had said that he would give her 10% of the winnings.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have encouraged Murray to go all in.
Now, she couldn’t get a single cent. It was infuriating!
Murray, having lost, was in a bad mood. He pushed the woman away and got up to leave.
“Mr. Murray.” The woman quickly caught up with him, wrapping her arms around his waist, blaming, “It’s all that girl’s jinx, causing you to lose.”
“Mr. Murray, can we talk?” Mirabella called out to him without changing her expression.Murray stopped in his tracks, finally giving Mirabella a proper look. Late at night, she was wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, and carrying a backpack.
He thought, “Where did this student not study at home but come to find him?”
“I know you’re upset about losing, Mr. Murray. I can help you win it back.”
Upon hearing this, the woman burst out laughing, “Just by you? Mr. Murray, I think this girl is after your money, trying to get your attention.”
Having lost $3 million, Murray didn’t have much interest left.
Mirabella continued, “I know you’re out of chips. I can lend you $1 million. You can pay me back after you win.”
Murray, who was originally not in the mood, perked up at her words.
There was someone willing to lend him money?
Was there such a good deal in the world?
“What do you want?” Murray asked bluntly.
Mirabella replied frankly, “I’ll help you win three rounds, and you give me Nightshade.”
So she was here for Nightshade.
Murray let out a wicked smile, two of his shirt buttons undone, making him look even more roguish and playful, “Do you know how much Nightshade costs?”
“Did you just snag that item for three million at the auction?”
The man’s grin broadened, “Alright, let’s see what you’re made of.”
They returned to the table where the dealer was rolling the dice.
As the dice came to a stop, some bet “high’, others “low”.
Mirabella didn’t bother exchanging for chips. Instead, she opened her phone, revealing a bank account with a balance of only one million dollars, and placed her phone on the “high” side.
All eyes were on her, some even peeking at her phone screen. A million dollars? This was her first bet?
Young people, so quick to take risks.
The dealer, accustomed to high stakes, had seen people bet with house deeds and car keys before. As long as it had value, they would accept it.
“Bets are closed.” The dealer announced after everyone had placed their bets, before lifting the dice cup.
The total was 12.
All eyes shot to Mirabella, surprised that she had placed the right bet on her first try, doubling her earnings.
She had initially bet a million dollars and now, she received two million dollars, the earnings and the principal combined.She pocketed her phone and tossed out the remaining million dollars, betting ‘high’ once more.
The dealer shook the dice, lifted the cup, and revealed a total of 13. Mirabella had won again, earning another two million.
Murray and the woman by his side were stunned.
They hadn’t expected her to be this good.
In the third round, after the dealer had shaken the dice and everyone had placed their bets, Mirabella tossed out two million dollars, betting “low”. The total was 6. Mirabella had won again.
Two million had turned into four million.
Everyone watched Mirabella in disbelief.
She pushed the four million in chips towards Murray.
Murray was stunned, as was the woman. In less than two minutes, this woman had won four million dollars.
“Help me win three more rounds!” Murray pleaded, “Just three! If you win, we can talk about anything.”
Mirabella felt that he was being greedy, but Carol needed the ingredient, her condition couldn’t wait.
So, Mirabella looked at the dealer, who shook the dice as Mirabella said “low”. Murray quickly placed all four million on “low”.
Seeing this, others followed suit and bet “low”.
Soon, the dealer lifted the cup and the total was 5.Murray had won again!
This time, he had won eight million dollars including the principal!
Soon, eight million turned into sixteen million, and sixteen million turned into thirty-two million.
The dealer was unsettled because not only had Murray won so much, but other patrons had also earned a lot by following suit.
This was a significant loss for them.
Murray was ecstatic. He looked at Mirabella excitedly, “How did you do that?”
Mirabella didn’t elaborate, instead, she looked into his blue eyes, “Time to keep your promise.”
“Are you interested in joining me?” Murray extended an olive branch, “Name your price.”
If Mirabella could win every time, he’d be set for life. Who needs to run a company or conduct business?
Making money this way would be so much easier!
“You’re cheating.”
The other patrons at the nearby tables were green with envy, “There’s no way you can guess right every time”
“I demand a body search, she must be carrying some cheating device.”
“Maybe she’s in cahoots with the dealer.
The dealer and Mirabella were both speechless.”Do you think a cheater could walk out of here?” Mirabella didn’t take the surrounding accusations seriously.
Instead, she looked at Murray, waiting for him to fulfill his promise.
Others were relentless, “How can you prove you didn’t cheat?”
“If you can’t present any proof today, you have to let us search you to prove your innocence.”
“Just a random girl who popped up out of nowhere, she thinks she can beat us? We’ve been playing here for decades! Why can’t we always win?”
“That’s because you’re not skilled enough.” Mirabella responded with a look of disdain, “Listening to the sound and guessing the number isn’t that hard.”
“What did you say? You can quess by the sound?”
