Chapter 43 The Ignorant Are Fearless
Lydia didn't expect to run across Penny at the casino. She looked at Penny with burning eyes.
She embarrassed herself in front of Orlando last time because of Penny. She had been thinking about how to improve Orlando's opinion of her recently, but she ran across Penny before she took any action. Penny ignored Lydia and looked at Orlando, addressing him politely.
"Mr. Fletcher, could you please lend me some chips? I'll pay you double in return."
The surrounding crowd was surprised. After Orlando came here tonight, many women went up to curry favor with him, but he was indifferent to them as if he was interested in nothing.
How could Penny accost Orlando in front of so many people?
If she was single, her purpose was evident. She wanted to hook up with Orlando.
But she said she was married. How could she borrow money from Orlando since she was married?
What a stupid way to attract his attention!
Orlando didn't expect Penny to borrow money from him. Before he reacted, Randy raised his hand and pushed half of his chips over. His eyes were gentle and delicate, but there was a trace of mockery. He shared the same thought with the surrounding people, thinking Penny tried to attract Orlando's attention through a stupid means.
It was so stupid that it looked ridiculous.
"It sounds like a good deal. Perry, you don't mind borrowing my chips, do you?"
After deliberation, Penny decided to borrow the chips from Orlando. After all, she was not familiar with the people at the table. She would cooperate with Orlando in the future, so she asked for his help. Now that someone else was willing to lend her the chips, Penny took them calmly and said, "Thank you."
Randy didn't look at her and pursed his lips slightly.
Anyone could see that he didn't want her to take the chance to disturb Orlando.
However, Penny was not ruffled by it. She took the chips and looked at the dealer.
The dealer quickly gave a professional smile and said, "Since everyone is ready, let's get started..."
When the dealer was about to deal the cards, Ryder abruptly stopped him. "Why don't we play No-Limit Hold'em tonight?"
They played Texas Hold'em at this table. As its name indicated, No-limit allowed players to bet up to the total amount they have on the table. Players might go broke or make a big fortune in one night. Someone used to play No-limit here and lost billions of dollars. It was said that he committed suicide and jumped into the river after leaving the casino, and his dead body had not been found so far. As the only heir to Prosperity Bank, Ryder had the money. Except for Penny, everyone at the table came from wealthy families and could afford the game.
Everyone looked at Penny instantly. It was evident that they wanted her to leave the table.
Ryder was determined to humiliate Penny and said with a smile, "Perry, you haven't ever played No-limit, have you?"
Penny remained calm and asked earnestly, "What's No-limit?"
Ryder's smile froze. This woman didn't even know about No-limit?
He gritted his teeth, thinking he looked like a shameful clown.
"There will be no limit on the amount of money you lose. Every bet costs a million at least. Can you afford to lose?"
Penny looked at the chips in front of her and couldn't help asking, "How much does each chip cost here?"
When Ryder heard that, he couldn't help saying, "Didn't you come here before? Why don't you know the value of a chip?"
Penny blinked her eyes innocently, "I've never been here."
She wouldn't admit it even if she had come here before.
The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded, let alone Ryder.
So Penny was a total rookie?
The chips in front of her cost 150 hundred dollars, and she didn't know their value. No wonder she dared to take them. The ignorant were fearless.
All the others at the table fell silent, and so did the surrounding people.
In such a weird atmosphere, Orlando chuckled softly with a faint smile in his eyes.
He smiled for the first time tonight.
