Chapter 484 Teaching Her to Play Cards
Knowing that Grace is pregnant, how could anyone dare let her drink?
But everyone was surrounding Xavier, saying they had to get him drunk today.
However, Xavier was very obedient and didn't dare to drink much. He took forever to finish half a glass, and there was still half left.
"Xavier, are you sleepy? You're drinking so slowly," Colin couldn't stand it anymore. "We agreed not to leave until we're drunk today."
"I can't drink much," Xavier looked at Grace with eyes full of affection.
In such a setting, how could Grace bear to ruin the atmosphere?
She said, "I'm not stopping you, go ahead and drink."
Victor directly called someone to bring a pot of honey water and placed it in front of Xavier, saying, "This is for Xavier, especially for the elderly. Do you need some tea as well?"
Victor was very sarcastic, and Xavier nodded directly, "Sure."
Then he waved his hand and had all the alcohol removed and replaced with various kinds of tea.
Victor said, "Xavier, this is a bar."
"You're making us look like a bunch of old folks," Colin chimed in.
"Are you going to drink or not?" Xavier looked at them indifferently.
"Drink."
How could they not drink?
Isaac said, "Actually, drinking tea isn't bad. It's very healthy. You all are so restless, let's calm down a bit."
So, a group of men started drinking tea with teacups, and the scene was extremely funny.
Grace didn't mean for this to happen. She said, "It's okay to drink moderately."
Victor said, "It's fine, Grace. We're tired of drinking every day. Tea is a nice change."
Even with tea, they could still have fun.
There were many activities to play, and Victor had someone bring them over and then asked Xavier what he wanted to play.
"How about playing cards? What do you think?" Xavier looked at Grace beside him.
Speaking of playing cards, Grace felt that Xavier was doing this on purpose.
Last time she played cards with Sterling, could Xavier be trying to settle the score?
Grace shook her head, "I don't know how."
"Don't know how? I remember Grace being very good. Didn't you beat Sterling?"
Grace remained silent.
Victor was also surprised, "You even beat Sterling? That's impressive. You should go easy on us then."
Then Victor looked at Xavier, "No way, if both of you are so good, only one of you can play, or you'll take all our money."
Grace said, "I really don't know how to play."
She wasn't lying. When she played with Sterling, it was all luck, and Sterling went easy on her.
"Grace is just being modest. How about we try a couple of rounds first?"
Grace had no choice but to agree, "Okay."
The goddess of luck never favored grace, and it was the same now. She got particularly bad cards, and since she wasn't good at playing, she quickly lost a lot of chips.
Now Victor really believed that Grace didn't know how to play.
"Grace, if you're going easy on us like this, we won't hold back," Colin said, having won a lot from Grace, smiling brightly.
Grace felt a bit embarrassed. She really didn't know how to play.
"Let's go again," Xavier said, getting serious.
"Alright," Colin dealt the cards himself, and soon everyone had their cards.
Then Colin noticed that Xavier seemed to be targeting him, blocking his cards so he couldn't play.
"Xavier, are you doing this on purpose?" Colin looked at him aggrievedly, thinking Xavier might be getting back at him.
Xavier said, "You're overthinking it."
He really was overthinking it because Xavier treated everyone equally. Whether it was Victor, Isaac, or Lucius, as soon as they played, Xavier targeted them and let Grace win.
And his luck was so good that he always got high cards, making Grace win everything in the end.
Grace, who had lost everything, quickly had a pile of chips again.
Being pampered like this was truly delightful!
"No way!" The others started to protest.
"Xavier, this is too much. How can you do this to us!"
"What did I do to you? Aren't you just not as good?" Xavier said calmly, not feeling he did anything wrong.
He and Grace were family, so of course, he would help Grace.
"If you keep this up, you'll have no friends. We won't play with you anymore. No, you can't play. Only one of you can stay, let Grace play with us!" Victor protested.
Then Xavier pushed all his chips in front of Grace, "Win it back for me."
Grace waved her hand, "I'll definitely lose. You should play."
She knew she couldn't do it.
"It's okay, if you lose, you lose. Consider it giving them money," Xavier said generously.
Even though the chips on the table represented a lot of money, equivalent to millions of dollars.
But Xavier would be happy even if it was tens of millions, as long as Grace lost it.
"Yeah, Grace, your husband makes so much money. What's wrong with losing some to us?" Victor said.
Husband? Grace's face turned red.
Xavier was very pleased. Victor should talk more; he liked hearing it.
Just for those words, even if Victor won all the money, Xavier would give him two big projects.
"If I lose, don't blame me," Grace looked up at Xavier.
Xavier had no objections, "You play, I support you. Even if they win for a month, they won't finish."
"Is being rich that great? You're so infuriating," Victor said, feeling incredulous, but he couldn't do anything against Xavier.
Xavier smiled and watched Grace play. Grace's luck wasn't good, and the others were skilled, so she kept losing at first.
The others felt a bit embarrassed winning so much, but they didn't hold back. After all, it was Xavier's money, and they wouldn't miss the chance.
Grace was losing so much that she was getting frustrated. She didn't want to keep paying tuition because she was almost out of the money Xavier had given her. She didn't know how to face Xavier.
Grace looked at him pitifully, "Is there any technique? Teach me."
Xavier whispered in her ear, "Learning from me requires tuition."
"Forget it," Grace knew what Xavier's tuition meant, probably something improper.
Xavier said, "Winning against them is simple. You need to learn to count cards and psychology. You should notice that their cards are usually not high, but you're afraid of them because you don't have a gambler's mindset. Don't worry about what they have, follow the cards and push more chips. They'll think you have high cards and hesitate to play."
