Owen wanted to taunt Chuck since Elise already told him that Chuck didn't bring his wallet and was acting as a wealthy guy.
It was no big deal using one hundred thousand dollars to make fun of a useless man.
Elise was fed up with Chuck for quite some time. She was feeling satisfied that her friend was about to chase Chuck off with the money. One hundred thousand dollars was enough for someone like Chuck, too good even.
He was already extremely shameless to stick with Regine. Now that he had the opportunity to earn one hundred thousand dollars for free, he should learn to scram and stay away from them as far as possible!
This amount would be a huge temptation for a person who couldn't even afford to pay for a gift for the banquet.
Elise stared at Chuck with disdain.
Did he seriously dare to call himself a man?
If Chuck was not Regine's friend, she would have beaten him up earlier.
A timid man like him belonged on the ground!
"No, it's not necessary. I won't be able to do much with it anyways." Chuck shook his head and refused the money.
"Hahaha!" Owen taunted, "What did you say? 100,000 dollars is not enough?"
If it wasn't for maintaining his image in front of Regine, he would have burst out laughing.
What could he do with a hundred thousand dollars?
He was qualified to say so because a hundred thousand dollars meant nothing to him. After all, he was rich.
However, was Chuck eligible to say that?
Definitely not!
Elise scoffed. Why would such a flagrant man exist?
It's fine if he wasn't rich, he could just admit it with an open heart since it wouldn't be a big deal. Why did he have to lie and pretend to be one?
Elise hated dishonest men the most.
"It's indeed insufficient. If I really want to gamble, my tokens start with millions." Chuck added.
Previously at Alexandrina Middleton's, he really did gamble using millions of tokens.
That was how gambling should be played. However, a hundred thousand dollars would still be useful elsewhere.
"Haha!"
Owen could no longer hide his sneer. Since he was a casino operator, he had witnessed people who exchanged ten million dollars for tokens at once, but they had to have a net worth of at least five hundred million dollars to do so.
Was Chuck trying to hint that he owned hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets? There was absolutely no way!
"Stop pretending," Owen mocked. He had seen many people like Chuck before, who thought that driving a luxurious car would mean having some amount of wealth.
There were a lot of people who merely owned a luxurious car, and that was all.
He couldn't even compare with Owen in terms of wealth!
Elise couldn't bear it and spoke in English, "You're rich? Well, I don't think so! You can't even give any gifts for the banquet!"
"I didn't bring my wallet with me," Chuck shook his head and said.
"That's a good excuse. Didn't you say you would usually start gambling with ten million dollars? Why don't you exchange some chips now... Oh, I know, it's because you don't have your wallet with you that you can't exchange for some gambling chips, right?" Elise sneered.
"No, I just don't want to gamble today." Chuck shook his head.
Initially he planned to walk around today and didn't expect to meet Regine, so he joined their meal and came to the casino. After arriving and taking a look around, he had an idea to operate a casino here in the United States.
Now that he was considering this, why would he be in the mood to gamble?
Last time, Karen won 50 billion dollars in the casino. She said that she would give them to Chuck but he refused. After all, he could just ask Karen for as much money as he wanted. Why would he want 50 billion dollars for nothing?
Elise rolled her eyes in contempt, "Oh, now you even have a new excuse! How fast! Did you change it because you think it's outdated? You have so many excuses!"
Meanwhile, Owen sneered, "You don't want to gamble? Then why don't you exchange 10 million dollars worth of tokens for me to see? I would love to witness with my own eyes how it looks like."
"Why would I exchange the tokens when I don't want to gamble?" Chuck shook his head and rejected the offer.
Elise couldn't stand it anymore and scoffed, "Hmph, don't pretend. Take the tokens and get lost!"
She really wanted to punch Chuck.
Owen snickered, "Oh? It's up to you. I'll just treat it as donations anyways."
"You mentioned that I can bring whatever sum of money home that I win, correct?" Chuck wanted to make it clear.
"Yes, exactly. As long as you manage to win, I will give you the exact amount of money that you have won."
Owen was making fun of him. Winning was less likely in his casino. Those who were not bold enough would lose in no time.
"Well then, you'd better remember what you just said." Chuck took the tokens.
Elise snorted in disgust, "Will that be enough for you? Didn't you just say that you need at least 10 million dollars worth of chips for you to gamble?"
"Yes, but I won't be gambling today. It's just for fun. In addition, the amount will soon become ten million dollars," Chuck responded calmly. "Are you kidding me?" Elise laughed at him.
Owen raised an eyebrow at him in interest.
"No, I'm not joking," Chuck shook his head and turned towards Regine, offering, "Regine, let's go and have some fun."
"Sure," Regine agreed.
After all, she was with Chuck. If Owen really wanted to punch him, she would definitely stop Owen. Owen wouldn't dare to hit a woman, would he?
Chuck and Regine walked into the casino to gamble. This casino was similar to the one owned by Alexandrina Middleton. It had everything, from dice to cards to slots. Chuck looked around and discovered that it wouldn't be a problem for him to win money as long as there was no particularly powerful opponent.
"Don't worry, I've brought money with me. If it's not enough, I'll trade some chips for you," Regine assured him.
She was afraid that Chuck would be too meticulous. After all, he probably had not played this before as a college student.
There was a large possibility that he might lose! Fortunately, she brought her card with her today.
"Hmph, he's lucky this time!" Elise was unwilling to give up.
"Don't be afraid. I'm running a casino, and I'm not afraid of others gambling. I'm more worried if he doesn't gamble. Even with a hundred thousand tokens, a loser like him will lose soon. As long as he loses, he'll continue on and on until he finally has to give up that luxurious car of his. Lady luck is not on his side, trust me," Owen smirked.
He had met too many people like him. Chuck looked like he was on the losing end. Chuck was bound to lose a lot of money today, maybe even his whole fortune!
Elise was delighted and sneered, "Right, how can it be so easy to win money?"
She could already picture useless Chuck gambling his whole fortune away!
