My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1220

Why did it sound like he was flirting?

Tobias's laughter boomed. "Enough of the affection. Why don't you try my two hundred million dollar table and see how it feels!"

I involuntarily looked toward Hendrix, pleading for help. I didn't gamble. How could I casually join such a high-stakes game?

Hendrix curled his lips, pulled me up, and walked to the table Tobias indicated. I don't what he did, but a few cards suddenly appeared on the table. At this time, six women with voluptuous figures walked in, each holding a high pile of red chips in their hands. Beyond the fact that these chips held monetary value, I didn't know anything else.

Tobias looked at me and asked with raised eyebrows. "Arianna, what would you like to play?"

I looked helplessly at Hendrix, but before he could speak, Tobias said, "Arianna, if you keep clinging to your man like this, he won't be able to do anything else. I'm afraid that your life as the rich man's wife won't be able to last for long."

I roughly understood Tobias' words. Hendrix was here for business and I was in the way.

I pursed my lips and said to Hendrix, "If you have something to do, you can go first. I can just stay here for a while by myself!"

He smiled and said. "You can play baccarat. It's the simplest game." Then he assured me further. "Don't worry. Your husband doesn't have much of anything else save for money."

"F-" Tobias almost cursed. "Are you flaunting your wealth now?"

He raised his hand, and there were three facedown cards on both ends of the table. Looking at Hendrix, he said, "Go, leave your wife to me. I promise I'll protect her well!"

Hendrix smiled lightly and planted a light kiss on my cheek before saying, "Just play with a peace of mind. I'll be back soon."

I nodded. Although I wanted to ask him what he was up to, I held back my anxiety and watched him leave the room. Tobias looked at me with a smile. "Don't cry. I don't have a thing for coaxing women. Since he said that he'll be back soon, why not just play with me?"

Looking at him, I frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It's too boring to gamble money. Let's gamble something big!"

He was stunned for about two seconds upon hearing my words, and then suddenly laughed. "F*ck, you really surprised me. It seems that you are really good at playing. Interesting. Come on, tell me, what do you want to play?"

"How about Roulette?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him with narrowed eyes.

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly and everyone became excited. Tobias tutted and cursed, "You know Roulette? I've underestimated you."

Then he looked at the woman standing beside him and said, "Did you hear that? We'll follow Mrs. Roberts's request and play something more exciting."

The two women nodded and walked out in their high heels. Not long after, they came back with a large roulette wheel with dice inside. Tobias took the dice out, looked at me and asked with raised eyebrows, "Tell me, how do you want to play?"

I looked at the vulgar words on the wheel and said lightly, "Turn seven. If I lose, Hendrix will give you the investment rights of Roberts Group in Oakland. What do you think?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his originally cynical face became a little more serious. Then, he asked, "What if I lose?"

I withdrew my gaze from Roulette and said, "Break all the cooperative relationship with Kaleb, and make him go back to Myanway. What do you

think?"
