Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1960

“Mr. Rocco, this girl doesn't seem to be playing with a full deck.”

His subordinate leaned in, whispering a warning. “If we clean her out, what happens if her husband decides to make trouble for the casino?!”

“Do you think the cameras are just for decoration?” Rocco sneered, lowering his voice. “Besides, gambling is fully consensual. Nobody forced her to throw her money on the table.”

Make trouble?

Sunrise Casino wasn’t some soft target anyone could just walk over!

The subordinate choked on his words. He couldn't argue with that.

“Is everything set for the third round?” Rocco asked quietly.

Sunrise Casino rarely pulled dirty tricks, but the stakes here were astronomical. If they lost, the financial hit would be devastating.

When dealing with high rollers like this—

They could only win. Losing was not an option.

“I personally dealt the cards. You have nothing to worry about,” the subordinate whispered, covering his mouth. “This fat whale isn't getting away.”

During the third round, the dealer had rigged the deck.

Juniper was dealt a straight—Jack, Queen, King.

Rocco was given three fives.

Three of a kind trumped a straight.

With these shady tactics, Sunrise maintained its top-tier revenue in the industry.

If Westshore Casino, run by Coralie, hadn't poached so many of their clients, they would be making even more.

“Good.”

Listening to his subordinate, the sinister glint in Rocco’s eyes grew even sharper.

“What are you guys whispering about, Mr. Rocco?” Juniper acted completely oblivious, popping a piece of watermelon into her mouth. “Where is my husband? Why isn't he back yet?! I don't even understand these cards. This is so annoying!”

“They are still looking for him, ma'am!”

The casino staff smiled politely. “Please continue playing in the meantime, gorgeous.”

Her husband clearly knew his way around a casino. If he came back now, he would absolutely put a stop to this.

There was no way they were going to sabotage their own payday!

“Fine.”
