From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 854: 421 Playing Cards_3

Mistress, having grown up in a Buddhist nunnery, probably hadn’t played cards before, and they nearly forgot about it.

Agave Rinto glanced at Aubree Grove.

Aubree Grove smiled casually and said, “I’ve watched others play it.”

“Let me go over the rules one more time.” Dallyn quickly explained them, and Aubree Grove listened carefully, “I’ve got it.”

Dallyn thought, since the mistress had never played cards, she must take care of her. She couldn’t let the mistress lose in the first round, that would be too embarrassing.

“Just one reminder, the loser has to stick a post-it note on their face.”

...

In the first game, Dallyn was the landlord. She snickered: “Master McKay, Mistress, sorry about this.”

With two jokers and three twos, she’d be a joke if she lost this excellent hand.

First, she laid out a straight flush. Dallyn crossed one leg over the other, looking quite smug.

Aubree Grove always had a smile on her face, giving away nothing about her emotions. She put down a row of cards with her slender fingers.

Dallyn was stunned, “Alright, Mistress, your turn.”

Aubree Grove put down another set of cards, making Dallyn jump involuntarily to her feet.

Aubree Grove flashed the cards in her hand: “I’m showing my cards.”

Dallyn blinked, what had just happened? In the blink of an eye, the Mistress was down to two cards.

She was forced to play her two jokers.

Aubree Grove was left with two cards so the only choice now was to break her hand.

Dallyn played one, intending to gradually test her opponent’s bottom line.

Aubree Grove picked up her teacup, took a sip with a smile, giggled and glanced at Agave Rinto.

“Pass.”

Dallyn understood. Mistress was left with a pair in her hand and the only remaining two was in Master McKay’s hand.

Dallyn quickly calculated in her mind.

Agave Rinto sat in silence, nonchalantly throwing a card.

The only two in the agriculturist’s hand.

Dallyn had no bomb, and she had already played her pair of jokers. She held her breath.

“Pass.”

Agave Rinto raised an eyebrow, throwing a pair of nines.

Dallyn clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and threw a pair of twos.

It came down to the final showdown.

Both jokers and all four twos were already played. Dallyn decided to gamble, throwing a pair of kings, guessing from the current situation that Aubree Grove probably didn’t have a pair of aces.

Aubree Grove smiled faintly, turning over her cards.

“You’ve lost.”

Dallyn’s face fell, and she grumbled: “Well, the two of you teamed up to scam me. Mistress, you’re so cunning, I misjudged you.”

Agave Rinto retorted, “All’s fair in war. You’re too naive.”

Dallyn clutched her heart, acting as if she’d suffered a severe blow.

While reshuffling the cards, she eyed the couple across the table. She had to admit, they were a perfect pair.

Both were cunning as the devil.

In the second game, Agave Rinto was the landlord, and Dallyn slid closer to Aubree Grove.

These two were evenly matched. This game was sure to be an exciting show.

Between Dallyn stirring the pot in the middle and Agave Rinto making his smart moves, in the end, it was a battle of nerves.

Aubree Grove had a poor hand of cards but managed to make a comeback.

Dallyn gave her a thumbs-up, “Mistress, you’re incredible. I can’t believe this is your first time playing.”

Aubree Grove chuckled: “Is it that difficult?”

Dallyn was speechless.

Ok, the Mistress was a genius. She learned fast, and there was no need for her to make a fool of herself.

In the third round, Aubree Grove was the landlord. They took turns being the dealer.

When Aubree Grove saw her last three cards, she frowned slightly.

Dallyn winked at Agave Rinto, as if to say: Our chance has come.

Agave Rinto remained calm, idly flicking his little finger against the cards, appearing quite relaxed.

Dallyn had an average hand, neither good nor bad. Looking at Aubree Grove and Agave Rinto’s expressions, she knew their hands. Aubree Grove had a bad hand and Master McKay had a robust hand.

The Mistress was finally going to lose once.

This round took longer. In the end, it was entirely about mental strength. Despite them playing a simple card game, Dallyn felt as if she was in the most luxurious casino at Starlyn Aria, the pressure was overwhelming.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she couldn’t help but feel unnecessary in the face-off between the two players.

“I’m sorry.” Aubree Grove turned over her cards and smiled serenely.

Her eyebrows were like willows, and her beautiful eyes were crystal clear. There was a gentle smile on her face, as elusive as the wispy clouds in the sky.

Agave Rinto raised an eyebrow: “I lost.”

The game only went to his opponent by one move. Accepting the defeat graciously was the mark of a true champion.

Dallyn quickly reshuffled the deck: “I’m not playing anymore. I feel deeply oppressed by your intelligence.”

Just then, there was a knock at the door and Agave Rinto called out to come in.

Finnian Moore stepped in briskly. When he saw the three of them sitting around the table playing cards, he instinctively froze.

Never thought he’d see the day that Master McKay played cards with others. Finnian Moore almost thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

He quickly recovered, rushed over, and whispered something in Agave Rinto’s ear. Leisurely, Agave Rinto rose to his feet.

“You rest, I have some matters to attend to. I’ll keep you company when I have the time.”
