‘No limit? Yvette thought. She clenched her mrs. Indeed, she liked the bet. “Stop with the nonsense. Are we betting or what?” Yvette challenged.


    Ethan stared at her gloomily and mocked, “Fine. If you want to bet, 111 join. But let me warn you about Ryan-he’s not as gentle as he seems. If you like him, you’d better watch out.”


    He thought Yvette insisted on betting with him to stand up for Ryan, just like his crazy ex-girlfriend who was fascinated with Ryan. He felt resentful.


    Yvette stuffed her hands in her pockets and looked at Ethan as if he was foolish. “Are you out of your mind? Who said I like


    him?”


    Ryan knew that no matter what, he could not let Yvette stand up for him. Ethan, if you want to bet, I’ll bet with you.”


    Ethan shook his head with a sly grin and said dismissively, “Sorry, but right now, I only want to bet with this beauty.”


    Ryan saw the undisguised malice in Ethan’s eyes. It was clear he had bad intentions toward Yvette. “You…”


    Ethan did not give Ryan a chance to speak and got up to leave. As he walked out, his gaze swept over everyone before finallynding on Yvette.


    “See you in the top-floor gaming hall. I assume you all know the way? If not, no worries. Mr. Lewis knows it well,” he said.


    After Ethan left, Ryan looked at Yvette with confusion. He did not understand why she would so readily agree to such a bet It would not end without risking at least 15 to 20 million dors.


    He already knew about Yvette’s background. Even though he had not been at school recently, he had heard rumors about her upon returning-some good, some bad. He also learned that she was the daughter the Chambers family recently found, who had been living in the countryside before.


    Did she even understand what kind of bet this was?


    The person she was up against was not just any guy. Ethan was the deputy mayor’s son. Whether she won or lost, she would be in a difficult position afterward.


    The Chambers family was already declining and had no chance against Daniel. Besides, Zachary would not likely sh with the deputy mayor just for her.


    Besides Ryan, other students from the physics department also did not see why Yvette had to get involved in this matter. Was she just trying to stand out?


    Yvette nced around and noticed the puzzled and slightly disapproving looks of everyone. Without saying anything, she turned around and opened the door, letting the waiter at the entrance guide her to the top-floor gaming hall.


    After Yvette left, a few people in the room started toin about her drawing too much attention


    “Seriously, Yvette is always trying to grab the spotlight. What does it have to do with us?” one of them said.


    “Yeah, now Ethan is going to hold a grudge against us,” another person added.


    “If I’d known, I wouldn’t havee to this meal another one said.


    Bonnie was originally going to leave with Yvette, but she forgot her bag. When she turned back to get it, she overheard them gossiping about Yvette..


    Her expression darkened. It was the first time she was this angry in front of everyone.


    She shouted, “Do you guys-eyen know what’s what? Didn’t you hear what Ethan said? If Ryan doesn’t bet, can we just walk away? Do you really think Yve wants to get involved? I know how much she hates trouble. She only stepped up because of


    After speaking, she noticed the guilty looks of everyone. She shot a re at Ryan, who was standing there, and scoffed. “You all know that Ethan wants to cause trouble for Ryan, but because of his position, you didn’t dare to speak up and instead. me Yve. I’m embarrassed for you. And you, Ryan, as a grown man, how can you just stand there? You got yourself into this mess, and I really look down on you for not even having the guts to stand up with us against him.”


    After saying all that, Bonnie huffed and grabbed her little red bag before leaving. She ran to catch up with Yvette and the


    wailer.


    Bonnie sneaked a nce at Yvette’s expression and noticed she did not seem upset at all. Carefully, she said, “Yve, you weren’t in there just now. I was so impressivelAll content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Yvette nodded casually and replied, “Yeah, you were the most impressive.


    The top-floor gaming hall in Sky Nimbus was designed specifically for the wealthy


    The entire gaming hall was fitted with clear, bulletproof ss. Inside, high-definition cameras tracked everything in at circryout with no blind spots, allowing onlookers outside to see what was happening regardless of where they stood. People outside did not have to worry about missing anything. The gaming hall was equipped with stereo headsets, making it easy to hear everything being said inside.


    The cost for this gaming hall alorke was over 30 million dors, not including the annual maintenance and upkeep expenses.


    Yvette and Bonnie, led by the waiter, took the VIP elevator directly to the top floor.


    In the meantime, after Bonnie left, Ryan turned to the others and told them to head back first. Only three people left quickly, while the remaining ten agreed to go up with Ryan to support Yvette.


    The rest of them knew in their hearts that Bonnie was right.


    Yvette stepped up entirely for their safety. Before Ethan could use them to threaten Ryan, Yvette showed no sign of doing anything, so they could not be ungrateful. They might not have money, but they understood the basic principle of gratitude.


    Today, Sky Nimbus was particrly lively.


    Ethan was considered a person of status in Seacrity. Since it involved the eldest son of the Lewis family, news of their high- stakes gamble on the top floor spread quickly. When people heard that a beautiful girl was stepping up for Ryan to bet against Ethan, their interest grew even more.


    Everyone flooded to the top floor to witness the event. In less than ten minutes, the outside of the gaming hall was packed with people.


    Justin realized that the girl who had just embarrassed him was defending Ryan. He inwardly mocked her for overestimating herself. Ethan was a regr customer at Sky Nimbus, known for his top-notch gambling skills. How could a student who had not even graduated from Argrol University take him on?


    Justin, eager for drama, had his staff spread the word, which led to the lively scene currently unfolding on the top floor. He felt pleased with himself, eager to see what would happen to Yvetteter.


    Ryan went up to the top floor with the physics students. The upper-ss attendees all recognized him and stood up to greet


    him


    Ryan settled the ten people and then walked into the gaming hall by himself.


    Inside the gaming hall, Yvette and Ethan stood at opposite ends of the table, with a high-ranking croupier in between. Bonnie stood a little distance from Yvette, nervously fidgeting with her fingers.


    16 16 Tue, Oct 8 B G ·


    “Ryan, you’re here. Bormie-fually spotted someone familiar.


    It was her first time in a situation like this, and she could not deny that she was scared,


    She could not really help much, and she certainly should not disturb Yvette, so all she could do was silently cheer her on from the side


    Ryan nodded, then walked over to Yvette’s side and whispered, cover the bets. Don’t worry about winning or losing, just enjoy yourself.


    Ryan did not expect much from Yvette and assumed the money was already lost.


    Even though Ryan’s voice was very low, Ethan and the people outside the gaming hall could hear him.


    Ethan gave Yvette a sinister look. “You said you’d bet with me, be it has to be your own money, not Ryan’s. If you’re scared now, just admit defeat and act cute. I won’t make it hard for you


    The people outside were speaking even more rudely.


    “Oh, so she’s betting with a man’s money, huh?” one of the onlookers asked.


    “This is a man’s bet. What’s a woman doing here?” another person said.


    “All right, all right. If Ryan wants to, let him. He’s got more money than sense. We’re just here for the show,” another person


    teased.


    -Wette shot Ethan a nce, then looked at Ryan. Her eyes were calm, but the glimmer in her eyes was striking. “I don’t need your money,” she said.


    Ryan was speechless. How could the Chambers family give her so much cash? Where would she get the money to bet against Ethan? He really could not understand why she was so stubborn.


    Yvette nced at the ck phone in her hand. Three… two… one. “Here ites,” she said.


    At this moment, the elevator doors on the top floor opened slowly.
