Ch. 451..460
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 451
Why does Janet look like she’s familiar with this place? Has she been to gambling places like this? No matter how much he thought about it, it just seemed impossible.
“Haha! Try it on me then. It’s not like you’ll lose anything even if you don’t win.” Janet flipped her hair after that, and the way she did it made her appear confident and somewhat intimidating.
“Stop spouting nonsense and follow me!”
The two men outside of the door seemed pissed off with what Janet said. How dare that ignorant little girl say something so presumptuous? Looks like it’s time for us to teach her a lesson.
After they reached the backstage, the atmosphere of the dimly lit place felt rather depressing due to the cold air that Mason was emanating while he was holding Janet’s hand as he sat down slowly.
The two men smirked disdainfully as they stared at Janet. “What do you want to play? Poker? Dice? Or Texas Hold ’em?”
Janet raised her eyebrows before she questioned purposely, “Huh? There are so many types of games? I’m having such a hard time choosing right now.”
At the same time, Henry and Sean, who were standing at the side, felt rather speechless at that. From her tone of voice, they couldn’t believe that they had really trusted this girl’s ability as she looked just like an oblivious little girl.
Then, the waiters in the room laughed along as well before they asked, “Bro, are these people here to challenge you?”
The man chuckled heartily. “Nah, she’s just some ignorant girl.”
“Come on, girl. Do you know that even our security guards here are trained by Master Ace?”
“Don’t you feel ashamed when you say that you’re here to challenge us when you can’t even differentiate the types of games here?”
“How can someone who looks normal be so dense?”
The waiters started teasing her.
Right then, Mason clenched his fists as he felt the urge to beat something up rising within him. On the other hand, Henry interrupted them and suggested, “Janet, why don’t you play the dice game? It’s more suitable for girls anyway.”
“Sure!” Janet nodded in agreement before she turned around and gave the two burly men a cold and cruel look. “I’ll go along with his suggestion then. Let’s play dice.”
Then, the two men started laughing after giving each other a look. “Do you know that we are the best at playing dice? ”
“Is that so?” Janet nodded, her face devoid of any expression while she chuckled. “It’d be embarrassing if the person who is the best at this game loses to me.”
Everyone was taken aback when they heard Janet, then they all started sizing her up. “You’re a big talker for someone who doesn’t look like she’s good at this.”
“Come on, girl! Stop lying anymore. Don’t let us see you crying after you lose!”
All of the workers there started laughing as they stared at Janet.
“You two really talk too much. Have you decided on who should go first?” Mason gave the two men in front of him an annoyed look.
One of the men immediately stopped laughing and declared arrogantly, “I’ll go first!” The man believed that he alone could win against this little girl without needing to work together with his sibling.
Right then, Janet smiled faintly as a knowing look appeared on her face. After they all got seated, the croupier prepared the dice and set all of them on the table.
“How about this? Each of us will cover our eyes and roll the dice. The one with the highest points within the best-of-three sets wins. If you win this, you can meet Master Ace right after this!”
At that, Janet raised her eyebrows slightly before she frowned. Best-of-three sets? That’s a waste of time. Nevertheless, she still nodded and looked up before she spoke lightly. “Sure. It’s settled then.”
At that moment, the man cracked his knuckles loudly and called out impatiently, “Let’s get this over with quickly.”
Upon hearing that, Janet stretched lazily, looking bored and seeming like she had full confidence that she could win this gamble. For some reason, Janet just had this intimidating charisma about her when she did it.
Since no one was left to guard the door after the two men entered, those who wanted to enter the underground casino had to watch their match first before they could contend against the men after they won against the previous player.
“Holy sh*t! The challenger today is just a little girl!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 452
“Huh? Does she really think that it’s that easy to win against those two guards?”
“Exactly! Those two guards are Master Ace’s best disciples.”
“But seriously, I had never expected Aquila to be able to hire Ace to place him at the casino.”
“I know, right?! This underground casino belongs to Aquila now.”
“Still, I heard that dice games are these two guards’ specialty.”
“Haha! Let’s watch how that little girl is going to embarrass herself later on.”
“Can we start now?” Janet leaned back on her seat lazily as she crossed her legs and looked relaxed.
At that instant, even the guards felt like the little girl was one of the frequent visitors at the casino as her attitude was too much like an experienced gambler.
The man shook his head and tried to snap out of his daze before he spoke to one of the waiters next to him loudly. “Let her go first. I’m worried that she might start shaking so much that she can’t play once she sees my skills.”
Right then, Janet’s eyebrows lifted as she chuckled lightly. “Is that so?” She smirked as she grabbed the dice. “Thanks, I guess!”
After that, Janet threw the five dice that she was holding into the dice cup and looked for a good angle before she started swinging it in the air.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw what she was doing as she seemed like she was quite good at it. Even the man’s eyes widened when he noticed how the girl’s technique didn’t look like that of an amateur. Instead, she seemed more like an experienced gambler.
Right when everyone thought Janet was done, she suddenly stood up and increased the swinging amplitude of the dice cup, causing the dice cup to look blurry from the motion and none of them could see how fast she was going.
At the same time, a hint of shock flashed past Henry’s eyes. Her technique and speed… You really can’t find another person like this in this casino!
Even Sean, who didn’t usually play with dice, looked taken aback, while a glimpse of surprise flashed across Mason’s cold gaze. It seems my girl is pretty good at this.
When Janet finally placed her dice cup down, everyone there stood up excitedly.
Meanwhile, the man looked pretty uneasy as his eyebrows were knitted together tightly.
Then, Janet raised her eyebrows before she gave Mason a knowing look with her bright eyes. “Guess what’s the number inside?”
Mason smirked calmly before he leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “I’m not sure about the numbers, but baby, you don’t look like an amateur from the way you swung your dice just now.”
“Really?” Janet acted as if she had just come to a realization before she raised her eyebrows. “Maybe it’s because I’m talented in gambling, so I managed to master it within one lesson.”
Upon hearing that, Henry reached out to wipe off the cold sweat that was dripping from his forehead. That was what Janet said as well when they went to the stone-betting market, but she’d manage to get herself a top-grade jade during her first attempt. Don’t tell me that all of the dice in the dice cup are sixes…
The guard chuckled when he heard her, but an unnerved look flashed across his gaze before he tried to calm himself down. “Are you seriously trying to embarrass yourself by showing off your mediocre skills?”
“Exactly! Show us the numbers inside if you dare!” Another guard, who was standing by a side, went along with him and shouted that out as well.
Therefore, Janet started opening her dice cup slowly before seeing the numbers on the dice that were ordered neatly in a line.
One, two, three, four, five; all five dice are lined up neatly in a row. It’s a total of fifteen points! The guard was surprised to see this, but for him, it was still an easy task to surpass a total of 15 points using five dice. Nonetheless, he couldn’t seem to cheer up, for his facial expression darkened almost immediately when he saw the series of numbers. How did that little girl manage to get the entire row of dice to show a series of continuous numbers?
The crowd stared at the dice that were lined up with increasing numbers before someone jeered, “Pfft! What’s there to brag about with just 15 points?”
“Exactly! For all we know, it might just be a coincidence.”
“Have you seen that girl’s proud look just now? I really thought she would have gotten five sixes!”
Annoyed by the crowd’s loud chattering, the guard snapped impatiently, “Shut up!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 453
That little girl had completely messed up his mind the moment she showed her points. His intuition told him that this little girl was definitely not an amateur.
Janet couldn’t help but chuckle when she noticed that he looked annoyed. “I just got 15 points, so I’m sure it won’t be hard for you to surpass me.”
Cold sweat started forming on the man’s forehead before they slowly dripped onto the dice.
After wiping off his sweat, he started swinging the dice cup just like how Janet did just now. In a while, he placed the dice cup back on the table before a wild smile appeared on his face as he boasted arrogantly, “You think I’d be scared just because you’ve gotten 15 points?”
Then, he opened his dice cup—two, four, five, five, six; it was a total of 22 points. As expected, the guard managed to win against Janet’s 15 points with his 22 points in the first round. However, even though everyone was cheering for him, he was the only one who knew that he didn’t manage to win perfectly!
Following that, Janet gave Mason a disappointed look. “I lost the first round!”
Still, Mason only smiled lightly and patted her head as an act of consolation. “Play properly. I believe in you.”
At the same time, Henry’s lips twitched slightly. Is she seriously saying that she had never played with dice? One, two, three, four, five; who could get results like that besides her?
“Alright!” Although Janet looked demure, she was actually a scheming person. The reason why she did that during the first round was to mess with her opponent’s mind so that he couldn’t predict her true ability; this was also part of the skills required in gambling.
After that, Janet stopped hesitating and pushed the dice cup toward the man before saying nonchalantly, “You can go first this time.”
The man looked confused for a moment before he said in an amused tone, “What’s wrong? Scared of losing now?”
“Can you fcking stop talking sht?!” Henry glared at the man in front of him while Mason snaked his arm around Janet’s shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.
The man licked his lips as he stared at Janet intently before he threatened, “F*ck off if you lose this round again!”
Upon saying that, he immediately started swinging the dice cup with both his hands quickly and accurately while the sound of dice colliding against each other within the dice cup rang out.
Within thirty seconds, the man placed the dice cup down and opened it slowly. Everyone’s eyes brightened when they saw the points on the dice. Oh my God! He actually managed to get a good result of four, five, six, six and six. That’s a total of 27 points!
The man’s eyebrows lifted slightly at that as he did not expect himself to get such good results. Then, he gave Janet a taunting look. “You’d better shake it well. Make sure you don’t tremble too much after seeing that!”
“Haha!” Janet laughed along before she rolled her sleeves up slowly. This time, her actions had completely changed as she moved more slowly and cautiously.
From the other people’s perspective, it seemed like she had already given up on this match, and some of them got so bored that they were starting to doze off.
“Little girl, are you sure you can win? You’ll have to leave if you lose again this time!”
“Why is she not done yet? I’m still waiting for my turn, man!”
“I know, right? How can she win against Master Ace and enter the casino when she can’t even win against the guard?”
“Come on! We don’t have all day for this!”
However, Janet glanced at the entire crowd with a cold look from the corner of her eyes. Caught by surprise at her frosty look, they immediately shut up, afraid to say anything further. This little girl looks so murderous!
A minute later, Janet suddenly halted her movements before she slowly placed the dice cup back onto the table. Her expression was one of calmness, but she exuded utmost self-confidence.
Still, the man gave her a disdainful look as he pointed at the dice cup and remarked, “It’s time for you to open the dice cup.”
Janet slowly opened the dice cup in front of everyone—six, six, six, six. Then, there was still one more dice left.
This time, her lips curled up into a smirk while her fingers moved slowly to open the dice cup. When Janet revealed the number on the final dice, the man’s pupils constricted as he tensed up again.
Suddenly, everyone’s breathing started quickening as their hands were clenched into fists while they stared at the last number—five.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 454
The sum, 29, is two points higher than that of the guard’s! What the f*ck? Was she trying to tell us that she is an amateur when she can manage to get 29 points just like that? No one would believe it even if we told them!
As the man stared at the numbers of the dice on the table, his face darkened a few shades. How can that girl be so lucky?!
Without any doubt, Janet managed to win the second round with a high score of 29, and the crowd was in an uproar at this.
“How lucky can she be to do that twice in a row?”
“What the f*ck? Is she even an amateur? That’s impossible!”
“It looks like there’s a chance for her to beat Ace tonight!”
“No way! A newbie winning against the guards and heading right at Master Ace?! That’s delusional!”
“Have you considered the possibility of Master Ace not wanting to go against a newbie like her?”
While everyone was discussing what happened, the man in front of Janet still hadn’t recovered from the heavy blow he received during the previous round.
At the same time, Mason, Sean and Henry, who were standing behind Janet, were still in shock as well.
Henry gulped in disbelief as he blinked with slight difficulty. “Miss Janet, are you for real?”
Even Sean was taken aback for a moment as he mumbled to himself, “It’s over. Looks like we have no choice but to enter the casino tonight.” He still felt that things were fortunate for them when Janet lost the first round as he figured that he could send her back to Sandfort City safely later. Now, it seemed like the lady had gotten lucky, so going back to Sandfort City would be impossible.
Right then, Mason grabbed Janet’s hand and said gently, “Babe, are you seriously calling yourself a newbie? I bet you frequent the casinos behind my back.”
Janet’s face twitched slightly when she heard him. “Do you think I have any spare time to sneak out behind your back?”
When Mason heard that, he was amused. “Otherwise, how else could you have gotten nice numbers like that?”
Still, Janet’s facial expression remained indifferent. “I’ve already told you guys that I’m really lucky when I gamble, but none of you believed me.”
Mason was speechless at that. Those who believe what she has just said can only be fools.
During the second round, the results clearly took the guard by surprise, and he went into a trance for a long while before he finally calmed down.
Watching the mentally disturbed man, Janet chuckled lightly before she taunted him by saying, “Someone else can replace you if you really can’t play anymore.”
This was what the man initially told her during the beginning, but this time, it came out from Janet’s mouth.
Immediately, the man got pissed off, so he snapped in annoyance, “Ha! How can I lose to a little girl like you? Stop getting too full of yourself!”
Upon saying that, the man grabbed the dice cup and started swinging again.
Despite the cold sweat that kept forming on his forehead, he couldn’t bother to wipe it off now and allowed them to drip onto the dice cup. He appeared terribly flustered, and it was obvious that he had lost his cool. What he said just now had come back to bite him in the face.
The guard was extremely dissatisfied as he had never gotten humiliated so badly by a little girl like this before.
As Janet managed to win the second round, everyone started doubting the guard’s ability now. They were looking at him with suspicious and worried gazes; even those who initially admired him also started to give him weird looks.
Feeling annoyed, the guard slammed the dice cup onto the table. Under everyone’s close inspection, he slowly opened the dice cup to reveal the dice one by one. The first one was six, then the second one was six as well. Same went for the third and the fourth, but when he reached the fifth one, everyone watched with bated breath; they couldn’t wait to see it revealed.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the fifth dice was revealed to be a five.
Six, six, six, six and five—that totaled up to 29 points, which was the same as Janet’s results during the last round. If Janet could manage to get another 29 points, this round would end in a draw. As guests, if Janet lost the match, she and the others would have to leave the underground casino.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 455
The crowd started cheering when they saw that the guard managed to get 29 points. “Oh my God! What a comeback! If the girl gets points less than 29, she’ll have to leave this place!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The guard is indeed experienced. He will surely win this time!”
“Yeah! I’m rooting for him for this round!”
“I’m rooting for him as well! Maybe that girl just won the second round out of pure luck, so she’ll surely lose the third round this time!”
The guard raised his eyebrows when he heard everyone discussing and praising him before he gave Janet a pleased look as he declared, “It’s not too late for you to admit your defeat now! At least it won’t end too badly for you!”
No matter how much the man tried to use his voice to intimidate her, the girl in front of him just looked completely unfazed. Right then, Janet opened her mouth and answered, “What are you even talking about? We’re already in the middle of a game.”
After that, she slowly swung the dice cup. However, no one could read her thoughts as her eyes looked devoid of any emotion.
At the sight of this, the crowd started discussing again.
“Who do you think will win this round?”
“Can’t you tell? The guard, obviously! Do you know that he was personally trained by Master Ace?!”
“That’s right. A newbie can’t just win against him easily, so just wait and see.”
Mason pursed his lips before ruffling Janet’s hair gently as if he was trying to console her. In response, she grinned knowingly before placing the dice cup back on the table.
At that moment, everyone held their breaths as they waited to see what the numbers in the dice cup were; even the man who threatened Janet looked way more nervous than she was, for his hands had started shaking.
Right at that moment, he barked at Janet, “Open it!”
A look of amusement flashed across Janet’s eyes as she slowly opened the dice cup to reveal what was inside. Obviously, the first dice showed a six, but so did the second, the third and the fourth.
Suddenly, Janet paused and turned toward the man before she smirked and asked, “Can I meet Ace now?”
Instantly, the man had a bad feeling. Nonetheless, he chose to calm down before saying, “You still haven’t revealed the fifth dice, and I don’t believe that you’ll get a six there.”
“You’ll see.” Upon saying that, Janet revealed the last dice.
When the man saw the number on the last dice, he immediately tensed up and looked back at the previous dice; he seemed to be on the verge of fainting now. Even the crowd was taken aback as well.
When they finally snapped out of their trances, someone spoke up in disbelief. “Oh my goodness. You can say that the previous two rounds were out of pure luck, but getting five sixes during the third round? That’s pure talent!”
“How can someone so skilled be a newbie? That’s impossible!”
“Could she be one of the top gamblers in the world? How else could it be possible for her to be this skilled?”
“No way! There aren’t any women among the top gamblers!”
“No. There’s one…”
Everyone looked at each other simultaneously before falling into silence. There weren’t any women among the top gamblers, except for Jasmine, who had dominated the gambling world.
However, none of them wanted to believe that Jasmine would come to an underground casino like this. Moreover, it had been a long time since Jasmine vanished from the world of gambling, and no one had heard anything about her for two years now.
Hence, everyone shook their heads as they thought it was impossible for this lady to be Jasmine.
On the other hand, the three men had proud smiles on their faces as they stared at Janet. They just couldn’t help but feel like they were seeing a shining halo on her head, as if she was literally an angel.
Henry pursed his lips. “Looks like I was worried for nothing!”
At the side, Sean gulped. “Miss Jackson’s gambling technique today really made me feel ashamed of myself!”
Right then, Mason turned around and gave Sean a cold look before pulling Janet into his arms. “That’s for sure. She’s my woman, so how could she be bad at anything?”
No one knew how to answer that.
Meanwhile, Janet smirked as she flipped her hair. “Can you bring me to Ace now?” There just seemed to be something charismatic about her as she said that.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 456
Her charisma was so incredibly captivating that the others couldn’t stop staring at her.
On the other hand, the man’s lips were pale as he wiped his sweat away. Right now, he seemed rather dejected, but he could only blame himself for underestimating his enemy, which was what allowed the little girl to beat him easily. If he had treated this seriously, he would have been able to defeat her.
Right now, he felt completely humiliated, and he thought that he had let Ace down terribly for all the guidance he had received. Then, the man glared intently as Janet before he gritted his teeth and instructed the waiter behind him, “Go upstairs and bring Master Ace here.”
On the other hand, a man was standing next to the railing around the room on the second floor while he drank his tea and watched the other gamblers walking around downstairs. The man named Ace had a scar on the left side of his face that made him look somewhat fierce in spite of his cold and emotionless eyes.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ace, who was about to drink his tea, paused in his movements. Although his face looked devoid of any emotion, a trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes when he said, “Come in!”
“Alright!” The waiter then entered the room and closed the door again.
“What’s wrong?” Ace asked the waiter with an impatient voice.
In response, the waiter lowered his head and said respectfully, “A gambler came and I’m here to get you to go downstairs to deal with her!”
Immediately, Ace froze before he asked suspiciously, “Aren’t there two guards downstairs? Why do you guys need me?”
Although the guards’ skills weren’t as good as his, they were still trained by him, so they naturally couldn’t be that bad. It wasn’t easy to win against those two downstairs, so it had been a long time since he last had a match against anyone.
“Master Ace…” The waiter hesitated for a moment because he explained awkwardly, “The guards downstairs had already lost!”
“They lost?” Ace tightened his grip on the cup of tea, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. Who is it that came to the casino? These two people that I have high expectations for actually lost to this person?
Shocked, he asked, “What did they play?”
“Dice. Best-out-of-three!” the waiter answered truthfully. “Moreover, the girl said she’s just a newbie!”
At that, Ace inquired again, “Tell me the details!”
After a moment of hesitation, the waiter told him everything that he witnessed just now. “During the first round, the guard won against the girl with 22 points against 15 points. During the second round, the girl won against the guard with 29 points against 27 points. During the last round, she actually managed to get 30 points.”
“30 points?” Ace’s pupils constricted. “She got five sixes?”
“That’s right!” The waiter was still rather agitated when he recalled what happened.
Right then, a woman’s figure flashed across Ace’s mind. He had once lost to that woman during a gamble, and now, it seemed like he was given a chance to prove himself again. I am a man after all, so how can I possibly lose to a woman?
“Alright. I’ll head over now!” At that moment, there was a wild look on Ace’s usually calm countenance. He really wanted to see how capable this new gambler was to manage to take down his guards.
After the waiter finished reporting, he went downstairs to the guard and whispered into his ear, “Master Ace is coming down now!”
Upon hearing that, the guard started laughing as he stared at Janet and exclaimed proudly, “Master Ace is coming down now! I can’t wait to see you crawling out of this place!”
However, Janet just smiled along without saying anything.
Henry, who was standing by the side, sighed before he asked in a worried tone, “Miss Janet, Ace’s skills are not to be underestimated. I really don’t feel good about this!”
“Babe, are you certain about it?” Mason reached out to caress Janet’s cheek affectionately while she slowly reached out for her cup of water on the table before taking a sip from it. “About Ace? I’m not sure!”
It has been two years, so I wonder if Ace’s gambling skills have improved… Janet thought to herself as she played with the dice and narrowed her eyes slightly.
At the same time, the crowd started cheering. When Janet looked up, a man wearing a long robe with an ugly scar on the left side of his face was walking toward her.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 457
Although this man had an ugly scar on his face, it didn’t stop the gamblers from taking a liking toward him. To them, the man standing in front of them right now was their god; the presence that they longed for. Because of his arrival, the crowd started cheering.
“It’s Ace! Master Ace looks really good today!”
“This is my first time getting so close to Ace! I must get him to teach me a few gambling techniques later on!”
“He’s really a godly presence. Although Master Ace has a scar on his face, he’s perfect in my heart!”
“Now that Ace is here, that little girl will probably lose so badly that she starts crying!”
“Haha! I guess we will see what happens later on!”
“Master Ace is the best in my heart!”
“Even so, Master Ace is known as the second best player in the gambling world. He still isn’t the best though.”
“Tch! I don’t care about that. Ace is the best! That Jasmine is probably just a gimmick anyway. We don’t even know if she’s dead or not by now.”
“Well, you’re not wrong, but I’d die without any regrets if I could watch a match between Ace and Jasmine!”
The mutterings went on and on. When the crowd started praising Jasmine, Ace got slightly upset, so he raised his eyebrows disdainfully. Jasmine, the Queen of Gamblers? She’s nothing but a joke to me.
Two years ago, she won against him, but she had vanished ever since. Not being able to find her, it meant that he was forever her defeated opponent as he wasn’t able to have a rematch with her.
Although Ace had been asking around for news regarding Jasmine these two years, it was as if she had completely vanished from the grid, for he couldn’t get any news about her whereabouts at all.
He figured that if Jasmine wasn’t avoiding him simply because she was a coward, then she must have gotten herself framed by someone else and died out there in the wilderness. If it weren’t so, why couldn’t anyone find out any news about her?
At this point, the mention of Jasmine’s name only made him feel disgusted.
“Who wants to gamble with me?” Ace’s eyelids twitched slightly as he spoke, his attitude domineering and his tone inducing fear in the others.
After all, Ace’s gambling skills were ranked number two in the gambling world and many wanted to bet against him. However, he never managed to find anyone worthy to be his opponent, and he had already gotten tired of trying to find one.
From the start, he had always had a clear goal, which was to defeat Jasmine, who had disappeared a long time ago.
When the guard noticed Ace walking over, he immediately got up and greeted him reverently. “Master Ace! It’s her!” Then, he pointed at Janet, who was sitting on the couch.
Ace looked at the guard. “You lost?”
When the guard heard that, he started wiping his sweat using a tissue and his expression was one of uneasiness as he answered with a low voice, “She tricked me.”
Upon hearing this, the man sitting on the couch got upset. Mason got up and rolled up his sleeves as he smirked and gave the guard a taunting look. “You’re saying that you got tricked?” Janet obviously won with her own ability.
“It was an accident!” The guard glared at Janet with dissatisfaction. “Now that Master Ace is here, I believe that luck won’t be with you this time!”
He was certain that the girl couldn’t possibly win more than three times in a row. Now that they had just played for three rounds, he was sure that she would definitely lose from then on! He really wanted to see if that little girl could still smile later on.
In response, Janet chuckled lightly before she said stiffly, “Didn’t Master Ace lose to a woman once? Maybe he might lose to me as well.”
Immediately, Ace clenched his fists together as he stared at the girl in front of him coldly.
On the other hand, Janet seemed rather indifferent and languid. Although Ace couldn’t see her face underneath her mask, she looked somewhat familiar to him.
At the sight of Ace’s lack of movement, Mason smirked before he asked teasingly, “Mesmerized by her?” Does he even know whose woman is he staring at? How dare this Ace guy stare at her like that.
When Ace heard that, his expression darkened, and his scar made his face appear even more menacing. With a frosty look and an unfathomable emotion in his eyes, he stared straight at the girl as he said, “I hope that you can still smile later!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 458
This woman was poking fun at his scars! Everyone knew that he had lost to a woman two years ago, so what that woman said right now was another blow to his ego. When Ace heard her, he was literally gritting his teeth in anger.
“Stop bullsh*tting with me.” Janet pushed her mask. “Don’t delay my entrance to the casino!”
“Pfft!” Ace couldn’t help but snicker when the woman in front of her spoke with alacrity. “I’ve seen people who are masochists, but I’ve never seen one as desperate as you! Seeing that you’re a newbie, I’ll let you pick a game for us to play.”
While Ace thought he was giving her a generous offer, what he said was merely a joke in Janet’s ears.
Right then, Henry leaned over toward her and reminded, “Janet, I think it’s best if you pick something easy!”
“Like what?” Janet raised her eyebrows.
“The dice game, obviously! Aren’t you good at that? I believe that you can do this!” Henry even did a fist pump after saying that.
“You can’t do that!” Sean yelled right then. Under everyone’s scrutiny, he moved over awkwardly and whispered into Janet’s ear, “Miss Jackson, why don’t you pick something else? It would be more meaningful if you do so.” In reality, what he was really thinking about was for her to lose; only then could he only send her and the baby inside of her back to Sandfort City safely.
The corner of Janet’s lips lifted up slightly before she turned toward Ace, who was standing in front of her, and remarked, “I’m really new with this, so it’s better if you pick the game.”
It had been a long time since she played any of these games, so she didn’t know how good she could perform now.
When Ace heard her, he relaxed his frown slightly. It looks like this girl is really a newbie. Now this is going to be fun. She’s going to pay for everything that she has said!
“Let’s play blackjack then. You should know how to play that, right?”
Blackjack was a well-known game globally and most people knew how to play it.
In response, Janet pushed her mask slightly before replying calmly, “I know how to play this.”
Right then, Ace waved his hand and the server immediately caught on as he started shuffling the cards.
“Let’s settle this within one round this time!” Janet’s facial expression was covered by her mask at that moment, so no one could see her emotions. Earlier, she had already wasted too much time with the guard, so she was getting rather anxious now since they still hadn’t managed to meet Aquila after such a long time.
“Sure.” Ace gave her a look of mockery. One match to decide the outcome? Is she seriously not embarrassed for saying that herself? She needs to know her place! Even if Jasmine the coward was here, I’m sure she wouldn’t have said anything like that. How dare a newbie like her say something so arrogant? She’s really making me laugh!
In no time, the waiter had already shuffled the cards. After Henry checked the cards and made sure that there was nothing wrong with them, the match started.
Janet, as the guest, was naturally the first to take a card.
Blackjack’s rules dictated that everyone had to first take a card and then continue taking cards. If the sum of the cards totaled up to more than 21 points, the player would be said to have busted, and that would mean that the player had lost; if the points were exactly 21, the player would win.
When Janet reached out with her fair hands to get the first card, she managed to get the King of Hearts.
Next, Ace reached out for his card as well; it was a five.
While Henry was holding his chin and looking on with a worried expression, Sean was praying silently, hoping that Janet’s cards would bust.
“Aw, man! I’m up to a bad start!” Janet cried out purposely before pouting to make herself look upset.
At the same time, Mason stared at the card that she was holding before smiling knowingly. On the other hand, Ace gave the woman a cold look as a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
During the second round to get more cards, Janet managed to get the Queen of Diamonds, whereas Ace had gotten the King of Diamonds.
Right now, Janet had 20 points, so she was in a risky position. If she managed to get one more point, this game would be her win. However, if she got more than one point, she would have busted, and without a doubt, it would be her loss.

Henry frowned before he lowered his head and asked, “Do you want to take another card?”
Upon hearing that, Janet smiled lightly and covered her cards before watching Ace to see if he would take another card.
After taking a deep breath, Ace took another card, his expression dark.
When everyone saw Janet slouching on the couch lazily, they all started mocking her.
“This girl’s mentality is really weak. I can’t believe that she has already given up!”
Someone else sighed and said, “I was still thinking that she might actually be able to win against Master Ace. It seemed like I overestimated her!”
“Seriously? Why is she wasting Master Ace’s time?!”
“I knew she would lose before the match even began, so I’m not surprised!”
“Exactly! After all, Master Ace is still the second best gambler in the world!”
When Ace got his third card, he sighed in relief before raising his eyebrows as he taunted Janet, who was in front of him, by saying, “Are you going to take any more cards?”
Right then, Janet frowned and acted as if she was feeling conflicted. However, after a few seconds of consideration, she agreed. “Sure!”
After Mason and Henry heard her, Henry immediately grabbed Janet’s hand and exclaimed, “Janet, that’s enough!”
At the same time, Mason frowned when he noticed the huge tanned hand on Janet’s fair one. Then, he shot Henry a glacial look.
Terrified, Henry quickly retracted his hand before he tried to convince Janet against it. “Your points are already enough, and you’ll go bust if you take more!”
However, Janet had already taken another card from the table before Henry could finish what he was saying. Immediately, Henry’s face darkened and he thought to himself, It’s over. We should just pack up and go home!
After that, Janet blinked before she revealed her first two cards slowly.
It was a King of Hearts along with a Queen of Diamonds. At this moment, she already had 20 points with her, but she was still holding another card.
When Ace noticed that, he couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like you still haven’t understood the rules of this game!”
Now that Ace had said something, everyone else started chiming in as well.
“I’ve never seen any gambler taking more cards after getting 20 points. What a fool!”
“Haha! Oh she’s a fool for sure! She still hasn’t even understood the rules of this game!”
“Exactly! What an embarrassment! This is seriously such a waste of my time. I’m leaving.”
Still, Janet, who was sitting on the couch, looked nonchalant as she blinked and told Ace, “I’ll reveal my card now.”
In response, Ace pursed his lips and smiled. He really couldn’t be bothered to entertain her further, so he would rather not say anything.
However, the crowd went dead silent the next second as Janet revealed her last card. She then raised her eyebrows before exclaiming firmly, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my cards did not bust!”
The card that was revealed was the Ace of Diamonds, and all three cards totaled up to a sum of 21 points.
Everyone gasped. This girl actually managed to pull it off?!
Even Ace’s face had darkened so much that it was downright scary. He glared at the girl in front of him intently while thinking, She dared to take another card when she already had 20 points! Is she a genius or just a lucky fool?
This was a great psychological war. Janet smirked before she turned to Ace and commented, “It’s your turn to reveal your cards now.”
Right then, Ace tightened his grip on the cards that he was holding before revealing them one by one, while everyone held their breath and focused on the cards on Ace’s hand.
However, he retracted his hand slightly when he was left with the last card; it seemed like he was trying to avoid something.
On the other hand, Janet was staring at the two cards on the table. A five and a King of Diamonds. He has a total of 15 points. If the card in Ace’s hand is more than six, it would mean that he has lost without a doubt.
Upon noticing that Ace was hesitating, Janet raised her eyebrows before picking up a sweet and throwing it at Ace’s card to make him drop it.
“You—” Ace stared at her intently. How could she force me to reveal my card like that?
The crowd started voicing out for Ace when they saw that.
“Is there something wrong with you?! How could you reveal his card without his consent? You should know that it’s an honor to be able to play with Ace in the first place!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 460
“Exactly! Who do you think you are to treat Ace like that?”
“Do you think that Ace, the King of Gamblers, is someone that you can humiliate for fun? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror?!”
Seeing that everyone was voicing up for him, an arrogant look appeared on Ace’s face before he gave Janet a harsh glare.
“The King of Gamblers?” Janet laughed. “Look at his cards!”
Everyone’s expression—including Ace’s—turned grim when they saw the number eight on Ace’s final card. All of them stared at it in disbelief until someone gasped.
“Ace actually went bust? Holy sh*t! That girl’s luck is insane!”
“To be honest, Master Ace could have chosen not to take another card just now. Maybe his luck is just not that great after all!”
“That girl really pulled a psychological warfare on Ace! What the f*ck? Her tricks were so underhanded!”
“Tsk! How shameless could she get to pull such an underhanded move just to win against Ace?!”
In spite of those criticisms thrown at her, Janet simply grinned as everyone naturally made way for her to walk past them.
“We can finally enter the casino, right?” she asked the guard.
Meanwhile, the dumbfounded guard stood at where he was before he gave Ace a look to signal for help. “Master Ace, what—”
“Let them enter!” The ugly scar on Ace’s face made him look even more menacing at that moment.
Upon hearing what Ace said, the guards’ faces turned pale. It was the first time someone actually managed to enter the casino under Master Ace’s permission. Even Master Ace was no match to her? Who on earth is this woman?
While watching Janet and the others entering the casino, the guard went forward and said, “Master Ace, it seems like that girl is not just any ordinary person, huh?”
Since she was able to win all four rounds of dice and Blackjack, of course Ace knew that this girl was special without needing anyone else to remind him about it. In fact, the way she pulled a psychological trick on him was similar to another person’s tactics; even the aura she exuded was somewhat similar to that person’s!
Could it be that… Ace’s dark gaze narrowed as a hint of shock and viciousness flashed across his eyes. Since Jasmine had vanished from the field for a long time now, could this person possibly be… Jasmine’s disciple?!
Ace hesitated for a moment before he spoke up gruffly. “I’ll follow along to take a look!”
At the same time, Henry, who was walking in the front, asked, “Miss Janet, have you ever learned how to gamble?”
“No, but I’ve seen other people gambling.” Janet looked around casually as she walked, as if she was looking for her prey.
“You’ve seen people gambling? Who?” Henry looked suspicious.
Janet blinked before she answered him nonchalantly, “It was a long time ago, so I’ve already forgotten who it was.”
When Henry heard her explanation, he actually believed her as he nodded. Then, with a regretful expression on his face, he exclaimed, “At that moment, I really thought you were a disciple of a certain master!”
“A master’s disciple?” Janet couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re not talking about the Queen of Gamblers, Jasmine, are you?”
However, Henry nodded. “I am talking about her indeed!” Then, he started babbling about Jasmine’s glorious history back at Markovia’s casino.
In the meantime, Mason pursed his lips as a knowing look flashed across his eyes. “The Ace guy just now is probably super pissed off from what happened right now.”
“He had always been like that anyway. There hasn’t been much improvement to his gambling skills!” Janet chuckled before realizing a few seconds later that she had accidentally said something out of context, so she quickly changed the topic. “Are you sure that AQ will be here?”
Mason, who was dumbfounded when he heard Janet saying that Ace hadn’t improved much, resumed his usual calm demeanor when he heard the mention of AQ. Then, he stated curtly, “The Lowry Family’s surveillance system can’t possibly be wrong.”
Henry nodded in agreement at that. “Let me bring you guys around this place!” He was familiar with the internal structure of this underground casino. Since he had managed to make a few friends here previously, he might even be able to get an answer from them.
At the same time, a few waiters were discussing how Ace lost to a little girl in a certain game room.
“I really didn’t expect Master Ace to lose just now.”
“I didn’t expect it either. I just can’t believe that the little girl was actually that skilled.”
