Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 1229 Playing Cards

"Aren't we going to school today?" Deanna asked Jacky after eating her fill. Jacky glanced at her and asked, "You really want to go back there?"

Her beautiful, black, grape-like eyes moved about and she shook her head. "No."

Jacky turned around and grabbed her wrist as he walked towards the arcade that overlooked the village. Deanna had never gone into an arcade before. When they reached it, her face was filled with curiosity. She had long forgotten what she was going to do.

Jacky then asked her, "Aren't you going back?"

"I want to wait for my brother." In fact, she wanted to see him play cards until her eyeballs fall out.

Anyone who wasn't interested in playing had a common problem, that they weren't greedy for anything. People who were interested also had a common problem, that they were greedy for everything. Deanna was the kind of person who was greedy for everything. When she saw delicious food and attractive toys, she couldn't move. She would be lost in a trance when Zorion didn't pay attention to her for 10 seconds.

When Jacky appeared, many people called out his name, some called him 'Brother Jack'. The manager of the arcade ran out to fawn over him. The moment he appeared, he spoke nicely to him and had specially prepared a playing table just for him.

Jacky was followed by a few people, who pulled out a chair for him to sit on. Deanna immediately sat beside him and looked at the other tables. She was shuffling the cards.

Jacky looked behind him. "Who's playing?"

Looking at each other, the crowd realized that Jacky was just too skillful, so no one dared to play against him.

Jacky stood up. "You two can play with Deanna, and I'll play against her."

The two of them looked at each other but they still didn't dare to sit down. Jacky looked at them and asked, "Well?"

"Nothing," one of them said quickly as he looked at Deanna, who was ready to play. Her hands were fast as she finished dealing out the cards.

"Sis..."

Deanna raised her head and saw Jacky looking at her. Jacky didn't nod and changed his tone. "Miss Deanna, do you know how to play?"

Deanna earnestly shook her head.

The man's face froze as he looked up at her. It would be even more troublesome if they were to let him win.

"If you lose, then it's mine. If you win, then it'll be your share." His explanation meant that it was the same as sharing money with them. When he heard those words, he immediately pulled the chair and sat down happily.

One of them was so happy that he sat down and shouted at Deanna. "Sis, please show us some mercy and go easy on us. We also want to buy some delicious food for our parents." Deanna's large eyes fluttered as she thought about it. 'Sis'?

"Sis?" She looked at the person who said that. He was stunned and didn't dare to speak, but she was quite different from the others. She thought this was a trick to make her lose money, so she immediately replied, "I also should ask you to take care of me. If I lose, then don't take so much from me."

The group was speechless.

Jacky pulled out a chair and sat down beside her. She looked at him and said, "I'm rich."

After saying that, she grabbed her bag and took out a few stacks of money. She placed them on the table and said, "I have money."

It seemed like Deanna was afraid that no one else knew. When the other three saw the stacks of money on the table, they instantly went quiet and didn't know how to respond.

What kind of weirdo was their boss hanging out with?

The money meant that she was determined!

"Sis, please show some mercy," they said in unison. Deanna smiled and said, "Let's begin."

"Begin." Several people looked at each other. Was this money for real?

Seeing that Deanna didn't understand the rules, the two brothers couldn't do anything.

When it came to playing cards, Deanna could only follow how others would play the game. The greatest advantage she had was that she was a quick learner.

No matter what Jacky said, she would remember it. She wasn't that stupid, and she could still remember what Jacky had told her.

"Wait a minute..."

Deanna saw that she almost had a full house. The other party very likely had the same. Wasn't that what Jacky had just said?

In that case, he might just win!

Everyone looked at Deanna. Was she satisfied with her hand? Or was she going to fold?

Jacky glanced at Deanna's cards. Her cards were on par with his cards, likely even higher in value. She still had the choice to discard and to draw. That would be a serious blunder at that point. No matter how one looked at it, she was going to lose.

Unless...

"He knows how to fight and beat cowards. Even a lousy win is worth more than a loss"

"You heard me, chicken!" Deanna heard the voice in the back of her head. Jacky raised his hand and rubbed his bright forehead. "What's wrong with you?"

Should she fold or call his bluff?

If she folded, then it would be a big problem. But she didn't do that. She didn't know what had happened before.

Now that she knew, she didn't hesitate. She was going for it. She had three kings, a seven and an eight, so she could make it.

Jacky frowned. If this was all an act, then it was a very strange one indeed!

When he drew his cards, he found he almost had a full house.

Deanna looked around and saw the other two looking very quiet. She didn't care. She said, "I'm going for a full house."

The three people on the opposite side were stunned for a moment. They looked at the cards on the table, and then at the cards in their hands. There was already a seven in the discard pile.

They were all looking at Jacky. His gaze was calm and devoid of emotion. He looked at her with great interest, pondering as to what to do.

Normally, a person with the demeanor of a leader could afford to lose. However, when he looked at Deanna, he realized if she lost, then she might burst into tears.

Her eyes sparkled as she waited for her lucky number seven.

The others were relieved. As long as Brother Jack didn't go easy on Deanna, they could play as normal. It was good to lose sometimes.

As the rounds progressed, Deanna drew card after card, but they weren't the one she was looking for.

"Not like this..."

After four rounds, the three other players quietly listened.

Deanna said helplessly, "You've heard everything. It's my turn now."

As she said this, Deanna placed her palms together. "God, I'm begging you."

After saying that, she drew her card, and it turned out to be true.

"Oh, I see..."

The expression on her face changed. It was time.

This... is my hand!"

With a slap, she placed her cards on the table. The others on the table were dumbfounded.

When the other players' cards were revealed, each one was pretty good, but she trumped them all. Deanna patted her small hand. "Money. Give it."

The three of them reluctantly took out their wallets. They had lost quite a lot. This was ridiculous!

They looked at each other. No matter who took out the money, they felt uncomfortable and wanted to win it back.

After they had finished, Deanna's small hands moved very quickly. She set up the cards and waited for them to give her the money. After she put it away, she began to play again.

After four rounds, Deanna placed her money into the bag and kept it zipped. She placed the rest of the money in the drawers on the table, which were almost full. She could barely take them out.
