Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 175 

Valeria was stunned and she asked, "Cheating? Really?"

Abbie lowered her voice a little.

"I'm not sure, but I feel that they are cheating Hardy"

"Why would they do that? Do they have a grudge against him?"

"I haven't heard anything about it.It doesn't feel right though.Hardy can't possibly be as good as William in this.William gambles and drinks almost daily so he's an expert at this.William must be cheating and Hardy has already lost 50 million dollars."

"Huh? So much?"Valeria asked in shock.

"That's right.He has always had a bad temper, so he is raising his stakes again.Look at William, he's really cunning, he keeps teasing him and agitating him.No one can stand being ridiculed by a young and idle rich kid."

The bet was increased to 50 million dollars.Valeria walked up to Hardy, who was already in a bad mood.

Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance.He looked up and saw Valeria standing next to him.His mood instantly changed.He smiled at Valeria.

The anger of losing money was instantly forgotten.

"Here, sit down!" Hardy motioned.

So Valeria sat down and watched as he played.Hardy's cards were as bad as they were before, so he lost another round.

Paisley smiled and collected the chips.She teased Hardy, "My brother has finally met his opponent!"

"This is what it means by succeeding in love and failing in gambling!" Richard laughed and said.

"Mr.Anthony doesn't play usually anyway.Losing 100 million dollars doesn't mean much either"

A hundred million dollars? Valeria looked at Hardy worriedly.

"You've lost so much?""I'm fine."

Hardy looked at her and smiled.

Seeing Hardy smiling at Valeria, a mocking smile flashed across William's face and he began shuffling the cards again.

"A hundred million this time? What do you think, Mr.Anthony? You can just win it back this time"

"What if he loses? Doesn't that mean he'll lose 100 million dollars?" Valeria answered before Hardy could.

"But if you stop playing, you'll lose any possibility of winning, Marcus interrupted.

"Besides, it's not like Mr.Anthony can't afford to lose.This is just a drop in the ocean for him? "

Yes, Miss Brown, this is men’s business.You shouldn't interrupt.He's a CEO who is supposed to make his own decisions.You don't have to make decisions for him.Michael chimed in as well.Three of them were on the same page while Hardy was in a dilemma.

If he stopped playing, they would call him a sore loser or assumed him as a coward.But he knew that he didn't stand a chance at winning.He was very clear about that, so he was hesitant.

William sneered.

"When did Mr.Anthony become so fussy? Are you listening to a woman now? Are you afraid that you'll lose? This is just a small sum, man...Can't you afford to lose?"

How could Hardy not afford to lose? It was humiliating to be agitated by someone like William, who he had never treated seriously.

So he stopped hesitating and said, "Alright, I'm in!"

This was one of the times when Hardy was not thinking straight, especially in front of the woman that he liked.

If Valeria hadn't been there tonight, he wouldn't have grabbed the seat and gambled.

But because of Valeria, he kept raising the stakes after being agitated.

A mocking smile flashed across William's face.

Richard and Michael both grinned evilly.

Looking at these smiles on their face, she could tell that there was something up their sleeves.

It was exactly like what Abbie said, they were trying to swindle Hardy and he was bound to lose.

William had gone overboard.

How could he trick someone like this? Hardy was a good person, how could she let them swindle him? Valeria thought about it and said immediately, "Mr.Anthony, didn't we say that we were going to have supper together? It's late, we should go now!"

When did he promise to have supper with Valeria? Hardy looked at Valeria in confusion.Valeria looked at him and smiled.

"Abbie said that there is a lobster stall at Owsome Restaurant.Didn't you say you wanted to try it?"

Hardy was not a fool.He immediately understood that Valeria was trying to help him.

William could also tell that Valeria was finding an excuse to help Hardy.

Was she worried about Hardy? Seeing this, William was reluctant to let Hardy leave.

"You can go after this round.It’s still early!"

"I's already 11 o'clock.We might even have to queue for a long time.If we go later, there might be no seats left.Valeria said somewhat confidently.

"It's just another round, and it won't take much time.If it really gets too late, I'll get someone to reserve a seat for you.Is that alright?"

Marcus added.

William played with the cards in his hand while his cold gaze swept across Valeria and then landed on Hardy.

"Why are you interrupting the guys when we are playing cards? Mr.Anthony, you won't go along like a small puppy just because a woman asked you to go for some d*mn supper?"

"What's wrong with women? Why can't women interrupt? Ignore them, let's go for supper.” Valeria refuted.

William and Valeria locked eyes coldly.She was not afraid of him at all as she gained audacity after having some alcoholic drinks.

Seeing as they glared at each other, Hardy stood up and said, "Alright, let's listen to Valeria and have supper.Why not let's all go together?"

William threw the cards on the table fiercely.

Marcus smiled mockingly and said, "No thanks, Mr.Anthony.I don't want to interrupt your date."

Hardy then left with Valeria and Abbie.

Paisley was also forced to leave as she came with Hardy previously.

The room soon fell into silence as no one spoke.

No man could stand the provocation earlier, not to mention it was Hardy, such a proud man.

But with just a single sentence, Valeria made him leave obediently.It was beyond everyone's imagination.

Marcus thought Hardy was similar to the past William when he was dating Valeria.He really had underestimated Miss Brown.

She could make William listen to her, and now even Hardy was susceptible to her charms.

Richard and Michael each took a glass of beer.

They didn’t know what to say at this moment.

Marcus did not know what to say either.

William wanted to deal with Hardy tonight to vent his anger.

But instead of venting his anger, he ended up with another ball of fury.

If anyone said something wrong, he might explode in anger.

Seeing that everyone was silent, one of the hostesses tried to break the tense atmosphere. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"I can't believe that Mr.Anthony listens to Miss Brown.It seems he likes Miss Brown a lot.They look like a perfect match anyway” William glanced over coldly.

Marcus snorted and said, "Don't say anything if you don't know what to say.Get lost!"

She quickly left the room upon hearing that.

William looked over at Marcus, then looked at Richard and Michael who were drinking silently "Why aren't you talking? Are you afraid of provoking me? Am I that fragile? Drink up!"

"Let's drink!"

Michael poured him a glass of beer.

After drinking a mouthful of it, he stood up and said, "Forget it.Let's call it a night.This is boring!"

"Let's go!"
