Chapter 543: Why Should I Give It to You?

“Yelena, I feel like I’m having a great streak of luck today. How about I play another round? What doyou think?” Connor earnestly asked Yelena.

Yelena, who was originally sorting out the chips, couldn’t help but pause when she heard his words.

Then, with a puzzled expression, she shouted at Connor, “Connor, have you gone crazy? We’vealready won so much money. Why do you want to continue gambling?”

“I’ve never seen so much money in my life, and I always feel like this money doesn’t belong to the twoof us. So I don’t want to take it!” he said to her.

She paused for a moment after hearing his words, and she could understand where he was comingfrom.

After all, he wasn’t a wealthy person. On the contrary, he used to be very poor and had to rely ondelivering takeout to support himself.

Now suddenly receiving such a large sum of money, it was understandable that he couldn’t accept it.

It felt like a windfall dropping from the sky, but when that windfall landed in front of you, you wouldn’thave the courage to spend it because you would feel extremely uneasy.

“So what do you plan to do now?” Yelena hesitated and asked Connor softly.

“I don’t know how to handle this money right now, so I’m thinking of letting fate make the decision forme. Let me gamble this money one last time. If I win, we’ll take the money and go. If I lose, you stillhave eight million in your hands, right? We both would have won money, so there’s nothing to regret!”He smiled and said to her.

“Then let’s take out all the money we’ve won!” She thought for a moment and generously said to him.

Connor didn’t expect Yelena to agree so readily, but in fact, he wanted to leave the eight million to her.

Although this amount of money wasn’t particularly significant to Yelena, it could still help her changeher current life.

But he never expected that she would want to take it all!

“It’s alright. Let’s just use the chips on the table. Even if we lose later, we won’t be at a loss!” Connorsmiled and said to Yelena.

“Okay, I support your decision!” Yelena, who wasn’t lacking money herself, didn’t care much about thissum of money.

Moreover, she believed that all this money was won by Connor alone, so even if he lost in the end, itwouldn’t matter.

He was surprised to see Yelena’s enthusiastic agreement. His impression of her had also changedquite a bit at this moment. He realized that although her personality was sometimes quirky, she wasactually very kind and not very materialistic.

“So, how do you plan to gamble?” Yelena asked Connor softly.

“I don’t think ordinary people would dare to gamble with us!” Connor casually replied, then looked up atLuke’s position and smiled as he said, “Mr. Luke, are you interested in gambling with me? Same rulesas before with Jack. If you win, all these chips are yours. If I win, you’ll give me the correspondingchips!”

“Mr. Connor, what are you…” Luke couldn’t help but pause, his expression filled with confusion.

“Mr. Luke, 1 feel like winning this money too easily. If I just take it like this, I’ll feel uneasy. So I want togamble one more time. If I win, it means this money truly belongs to me. But if I lose, then it’s notmeant for me!” He explained to Luke while blinking his eyes, signaling him to quickly take away themoney they had won.

Luke looked at him, stunned for a moment, and instantly understood his meaning. Based on hisunderstanding of Connor, he believed that Connor didn’t actually want to keep the money, which waswhy he said such things.

“I don’t think there will be anyone in the casino willing to play at this scale with me. So how about youand I play a round, Mr. Luke?” he continued and stared at Luke.

“Hehe…” Luke smiled and nodded, understanding Connor’s intentions. He then said softly, “Alright,since Mr. Connor is interested, 1 will definitely accompany you. We’ll determine the outcome in oneround. Let me have the chips prepared.”

“No need to go through all that trouble. Just deal the cards directly. You’re the owner here, I believe youwon’t welch on the bet!” Connor replied with a smile.

“Mr. Connor is indeed straightforward. Let’s begin then!” Luke smiled in response and then turned tolook at the manager beside him. He said in a low voice, “Ms. Lawson, why don’t you handle thedealing?”

Ms. Lawson was a skilled cheater, proficient in various techniques. At this moment, when Lukepersonally asked her to deal the cards, it held a certain meaning, which she naturally understood.

“Alright, Mr. Luke!” Ms. Lawson smiled and responded. She then walked over to the gambling table,started shuffling the cards, and dealt three cards to Connor and Luke.

Connor picked up his three cards, carefully examined them, and then placed them on the table. Hesaid, “1 have seven points!”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Connor, I have nine points!” Luke revealed his cards and smiled.

“All…” Connor pretended to sigh with regret and then turned to Yelena, saying, “It seems like fatedoesn’t want me to take this money!”

“If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have let you gamble. With this money, we wouldn’t have to doanything for the rest of our lives!” she pouted and said to him.

“Yeah, if I had known, I wouldn’t have gambled!” Connor helplessly replied.

“Alright, don’t be sad. I still have eight million in my hands. Aside from my three million, the remainingfive million is the money you won today. I’ll give you half of it. Although this money won’t let you livecomfortably for a lifetime, it’s enough for your livelihood!” she said softly to him after seeing himseemingly saddened.

Connor couldn’t help but turn his head and look at Yelena after hearing her words.novelbin

“How about it? Are you touched? Do you think I’m treating you well?” Yelena asked Connor with greatjoy.

“That’s the money I won myself. Why should I give you half?” He hesitated for a moment and thensmilingly asked her.

“Oh, you heartless person! If it weren’t for me lending you money, would you have earned so much?And now you want to keep it all to yourself?” Yelena glared at Connor, her expression agitated as sheshouted at him..
