Chapter 284

Cold sweat dripped from the impostor Winner's palms.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at Vivian's royal flush.

"This can't be..." he muttered under his breath.

The crowd erupted in deafening cheers.

"She won! An actual royal flush!"

"Unbelievable luck!"

The impostor's face turned ghostly pale.

His eyes met Vivian's amused gaze.

Those piercing eyes seemed to see right through him.

"Again," he growled through clenched teeth. "This time we play Pai Gow."

Vivian gave a slight nod.

"Your choice."

What followed was a nightmare.

The impostor's chips dwindled at an alarming rate.

Veins bulged on his forehead.

"Impossible..." he whispered. "I clearly..."

Vivian suddenly raised her hand.

"Enough."

Her quiet voice silenced the entire casino.

"Isn't that earpiece bothering you?"

The impostor froze.

"And the marked cards in your sleeve," Vivian continued calmly. She turned toward the crowd. "That gentleman in gray - your button camera needs upgrading."

Gasps filled the room.

"Cheating?"

"I thought he was Winner!"

The impostor leapt to his feet.

"Lies!"

He lunged at Vivian with a snarl.

She sidestepped effortlessly.

"The real Winner would never resort to such cheap tricks."

Her words struck like a hammer.

The impostor staggered backward.

The crowd began murmuring.

"A fraud!"

"No wonder he kept winning..."

Panic flashed in the impostor's eyes.

Everywhere he looked, people stared at him with contempt.

"I..."

His voice failed him.

Vivian stepped closer.

"Now. Let's settle our accounts."
