Chapter: 251

Mrs. Reyes was at a loss for words.

Alicia pressed on. "Mrs. Reyes, what is the matter? You do not seem thrilled. Is two hundred thousand too modest? Should we raise it to five hundred thousand?"

Mrs. Reyes cut her off, “Two hundred thousand is perfectly fine."

Alicia stifled a grin.

Before the game began, Mrs. Reyes had still clung to a faint hope.

Even though she lost a partner in the game, Rachel had rigged the dice in her favor. As long as she played cautiously, not even Caden could surpass her.

But, to her astonishment, by the second round, Caden began racking up wins.

Sweat began to gather on Mrs. Reyes's palms.

How was this even possible?

Then came the second round, and the third...

Caden swept through them all.

His hands seemed to improve with every game.

Mrs. Reyes's head started to spin.

Another woman at the table, crushed by her losses, quietly stood up and left without saying a word.

Rachel smoothly slid into the vacant seat.

Caden glanced at her and said, "Mrs. Gray, your timing is impeccable. I have got a question for you."

Rachel kept her composed and gentle smile. "I am listening, Mr. Ward."

Without a word, Caden picked up the dice.

Then casually let them fall in front of her.

"Care to explain this?" he asked.

Alicia wore a look of confusion.

Mrs. Reyes had not anticipated Caden would catch that detail, and she tightened her grip.

Alicia quickly put the pieces together. "Is there an issue with the dice?"

She snatched them up and scrutinized them intently.

Yet, despite her thorough examination, she found nothing amiss.

Feeling a surge of curiosity, she asked, “What did they do to the dice?"

Caden kept his face neutral. "I am not certain. You will have to consult Mr. Gray."

Rachel looked at the dice.

Unless caught outright, she would not concede anything. "They're just standard dice. What is the issue?"

Caden replied in a relaxed tone, “In that case, I suppose I will need to bring in some experts to take a closer look."
