Julian sighed. “You must know how to play blackjack at least!”

Eliana shook her head

Julian frowned. “What paines have you played?”

“play scratch–off lottery tickets,” she said.

Julian was speechless.

“Honey, I can vouch she really knows nothing about gambling.” Hi

Hannah whispered in Julian’s ear, giddy. “So we’re sure to win.”

Julian picked the simplest game. “Surely you can bet on big or small with dice?

Just as Julian was about to start, Eliana suddenly asked, “But when rolling the dice, I need everyone to stay quiet so I can listen for the dice.”

The onlookers burst into laughter. “Sweetheart, that’s such a naive trick: You know how hard that is to master? You can’t do

“Just bark like a dog now and get it over with.”

“Or let me touch you, and I do the punishment for you?

Eliana’s expres

The dealer had prepared three dice, showing them to Julian and Eliana. Eliana nervously touched her hair, murmuring to herself, “Three dice, each with six facing up.”

Only she knew she was speaking to Theodore on the phone. He didn’t respond at all. Eliana wondered if he was angry about the humiliating forfeit

The dealer asked, “How many rounds to decide the winner?”

Seeing Julian gesture for her to choose, Eliana said directly, “I hate wasting time. Like the horse race the other day, let’s settle it in one round.”

“Mrs. Russell, you have real guts.” Julian squinted, then told the dealer, “Begin”

The dealer covered the dice cup, shook it, and placed it back. “Big or small?”

the dealer asked.

The onlookers exchanged glances, even swallowing nervously over a game that wasn’t theirs.

Theodore said, “Big “Big” Eliana answered without hesitation. Her instant response made the crowd think she was foolish.

“I think it’s small”

“Me too. She clearly has never been to a casino. Bet the opposite of her–can’t go wrong”

Annoyed by the gamblers‘ whispers, Eliana looked at Julian. He frowned, seeming to calculate meticulously in his mind, which only made her look more

Finally, Julian said slowly, “Small”

The crowd erupted in excitement. “Get your phones out, guys! Record the show!”

“Clear the table for her to crawl on!”

Hannah seethed. They’d lost a case of gold bats recently, and now a case of cash–enough to buy a house

As bodyguards pushed the case toward Eliana, greedy gamblers eyed her. One man even took out a switchblade and planned to tail her.

Then Theodore said, “Mrs. Russell, drop the money”

Eliana muttered, “What?”

“Do as I say,” he ordered.

His words made her notice the predatory stares. She made up her mind, grabbing a fistful of bills and throwing them into the air.

Instantly, a rain of cash fell. After a two–second pause, people went wild grabbing at the money.

In the chaos, Eliana hoisted the case and kept scattering bills. The money wasn’t hers anyway–she just needed to escape. As she spun to leave, her hair lifted, revealing a flashing Bluetooth earpiece.
