Chapter 113 Time to Settle the Score

Hayden frowned, taking a step forward as if to say something, but Audrey lifted a hand and stopped him. She turned back to Leo, amused as she looked him over. This was an unexpected surprise. She'd only intended to use his debt as leverage, but she never expected him to bet on himself like that. "Fine," she said. "I'll take that bet." The tension around the table shot through the roof. The dealer's palms were slick with sweat. He looked from Audrey to Leo, throat bobbing as he tried to steady his voice. "Place your bets." Leo dragged in a ragged breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Low!" He refused to believe his luck could really be that bad. Audrey stayed perfectly calm as she picked up a chip and set it on "High". Everyone held their breath. The dealer's hand trembled as he lifted the cup. A sharp tap rang out as the dice settled into view. Six, six, six—18. Triples. The house won, but it was still counted as high. Audrey had won. Silence crashed over the room.
