Chapter 50 I’m In

Nancy suddenly had interest, “Sure, tell me about it.”

Ben chuckled mischievously. When he was about to speak, he suddenly felt two cold gazes on his face.

He was scared and quickly turned away.

Nancy turned her head and saw Charlie’s warning gaze. It seemed that Vivian wasn’t wrong in saying that Charlie didn’t like women.

“We’ve arrived. This is it.”

Ben pointed to a beautifully crafted pool table, glancing at Charlie, “Haven’t played in years, right? Want to have a round?”

Charlie raised an eyebrow, extended his arm, and immediately someone respectfully handed him a pool cue, “It seems that I haven’t made you fail in years, and you’re longing for it.”

“Hey!”

Ben picked up his own special pool cue and argued, “Young Master Firth, le me tell you, in the years you’ve been gone, I’ve been practicing every day. I’ve been waiting for you to come back, so I can cleanse myself of my past shame. Today, I’ll let you witness the power of the Pool Prince of City Nustin firsthand!”

Charlie smiled and raised his eyebrow, “Even if your father, the Pool King of City Nustin, is here, I’ll stu crush you!”

“Well, let’s give it a try!”

Ben raised his chin defiantly, “As usual, 10,000 dollars per round!”

10,000 dollars per round!?

Nancy’s eyes lit up instantly. She excitedly grabbed Charlie’s arm, “Betting on pool? I’m in.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“You?”

Charlie set the pool cue on the ground, looking at Nancy with confusion, “You can also play pool?”

Nancy blinked her eyes and smiled confidently, “Certainly.”

“Well, not bad!”

Ben approached while holding his pool cue, “It’s rare that a girl can play with us.”

Charlie hasn’t even agreed yet when Ben pointed at a group of people beside him, “Since Vivian wants to participate, I’ll also partner with a lady. Let’s play a doubles game, with the prize money increased to 20,000 dollars!”

20,000 dollars!

Nancy nodded excitedly, ‘Doubles are the most fun!”

Charlie looked at Nancy’s happy face, a slight smile appearing in the comer of his lips.

He only intended to take Nancy out for distraction. He wanted her to see how he would defeat Ben, then he would give the prize money to her. He thought this would make her happy. He didn’t expect Nancy could also play pool, So whether they won or lost, Nancy would be excited.

The only problem was the woman whom Ben called out…

“Nan…”

Charlie murmured by Nancy’s ears, “That woman is very good. She is a professional and has been with many wealthy men in clubs to play pool. So, if you lose, don’t be upset…”

Nancy looked at the woman. She had heard before about a woman in City Nustin who was very good at pool. But the woman’s betting stakes were too high. Nancy never had a chance to play against her.

She looked at Charlie with displeasure, “Do you think I be a drag on you?”

Charlie frowned, “Losing money doesn’t matter to me. I am mainly concern whether you’ll be upset. I don’t care whether you’ll be a drag on me or not.”

“Humph!”

Nancy snorted, “No need to talk about that right now. Let’s decide on how to divide the winnings? There are 20,000 dollars to share. Fifty–fifty?”

She was so confident?

They hadn’t even started the game and she was already considering how to divide the winnings.

Charlie laughed softly, “If we really win, all the winnings are yours!”

The woman wasn’t far from them and heard their conversation. She sneered, “Vivian, you should check around before brag, or you’ll only make yourself a joke!
