Chapter 276

Ethan Roscente's heart leaped into his throat.

Did Vivian Laurent actually know how to play poker?

That was the legendary Winner she was facing.

How could she be so confident?

The casino buzzed with excitement. Countless eyes were glued to the high-stakes match.

Ethan's palms grew damp with sweat.

Vivian had surprised him many times before.

But this was different.

Her opponent was the undisputed king of gambling.

Was she trying to win quick cash because her real estate company was struggling?

Ethan suddenly remembered Triple Six Realty's recent financial troubles.

He made a silent vow.

If she needed money, he would give it to her without hesitation.

What was his was hers.

The thought propelled him down the stairs.

Zero remained by the second-floor railing, his gaze locked on Vivian.

That overwhelming sense of familiarity made his pulse race.

Could it really be her?

Whispers filled the casino.

"Give it up, girl. Even the runner-up lost."

"You're just throwing money away."

"Better donate it to charity."

Vivian's lips curled.

"How do you know before we start?"

"My horoscope said today's my lucky day."

Mocking laughter erupted.

"You? Not even Winner could help you win now!"

The impostor shot her a disdainful look.

"Don't cry when you lose."

"Winner doesn't bully women."

Vivian's eyes turned icy.

"Winner isn't as shameless as you."

The impostor stiffened.

Had she seen through him?

Impossible.

Just as he opened his mouth, a deep voice cut him off.

"Wait."

All heads turned.

A tall, masked man in an impeccably tailored suit strode forward. His commanding presence silenced the room.

He stopped before Vivian.

"Play with me instead."

"I'll let you win."

Vivian instantly recognized Ethan Roscente.

Her jaw tightened.

What was he trying to ruin this time?
