Having coaxed Gordon into accepting the
invitation, Isabella remained on high alert to avoid
offending Simon and his group even more.
The waitstaff led her and Gordon upstairs and
stopped before the largest private room.

With one hand in his pocket, Gordon showed no
intention of knocking, so Isabella knocked. When no
one answered, she pushed open the door herself.
Instantly, the room fell silent, and everyone turned
their attention to the doorway. Isabella
immediately spotted Seth sitting in the center of
the couch. He had changed into a dark blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. At the
Chapter 21 A Test of Trum Love
moment, he had his arm around Selena’s waist,
and they were engrossed in conversation, which
made Selena blush and bite her lips.

“Come on in. You’re just in time. Another round is
about to start.” Simon got up from the couch and
proactively greeted Isabella and Gordon. He was a
typical Lawdom man, one of those known for being
polite and gentlemanly. No one could fault such
men.
Isabella retracted her gaze from Seth and turned to
the side, allowing Gordon to enter first.
Somewhat polite, Gordon greeted Simon before
pulling Isabella to sit down.
There were a total of seven people inside the room.

Dariel had changed his female companion again.
This one seemed to be called Bethany, and the two
were sitting at the bar, whispering sweet nothings.
Isabella paid no attention to Seth but found Dariel
highly irritating. At least Seth knew to focus on one
person, while Dariel seemed to be playing around
with different women and unafraid of creating
conflicts between women.
Noticing her gaze, Dariel set down his glass and
walked over from the bar with a playful expression.
“Miss Symons, are you interested in me? You’ve
been staring at me without blinking since you
came in.”
Isabella’s expression was indifferent as she sat
properly, but her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

“You’re quite good–looking. Is it a crime to look at
you?”
“Is that so?” Dariel sat down beside Seth, placing a
hand on Seth’s shoulder and feigning surprise. “All
these years, no one has ever praised me for being
good–looking when Seth is around.”
Seth was indifferent as he rudely threw away
Dariel’s arm while coldly rebuking, “She’s blind. If
you believe her words, then you’re stupid.”

“You’re too overbearing. Are you saying everyone
else can only praise you?” Dariel repeatedly clicked
his tongue, seemingly very upset.
“Alright already. Since our guests have arrived, let’s
start the game.”

Only then did Isabella realize there was a small
gambling table in front of the bar with a pile of
tokens, as well as cards and dice.

“Are you guys gambling?” Gordon was intrigued
and went over to the table. “What are we playing?”
“We were planning on playing Texas Hold’em, but
Miss Winston here said she doesn’t know how to
play that, so we have no choice but to change to poker, which she knows.” Simon shrugged,
propping his hand on the edge of the gambling table and smiling. “That’s why we called you here. It’s more fun with more people.”
Chapter 31 A Test of True Love
Isabella thought inwardly, Texas Hold’em isn’t that
hard. With how Seth usually acts, he should have
personally taught her, asking her to kiss him every
time she fails to learn. After a night’s worth of
lessons, she will be a great kisser.

She looked at Simon and remarked, “You have five
people, so you can play the game independently.”
With a helpless expression, Simon held his fist to his
lips and cleared his throat. “Dariel is unwilling to let
his sweetheart play cards alone, so we have to split into groups.”
Isabella was rendered speechless.
“If Mr. Dunkstein and I are a team, wouldn’t that
leave Mr. Gates alone?”

“Not necessarily.” Dariel’s female companion,
Bethany, spoke up in her coquettish voice. “I feel like
we should draw lots to see who we will be teaming
up with,”
While she spoke, she kissed Dariel’s chin. “Babe, if
there’s true love between us, we will be split into the
same team, am I right?”
“Of course. Who else but us would have true love?”
Dariol gave her an alluring smile and pulled her
Into his embrace. “Hurry up and draw a lot. It’s time
to seal our fate.”
Meanwhile, Isabella felt troubled. The more she
looked at Dariel, the more irritated she was. Only
three women were in this room, and if she agreed
to draw lots, there was a 25 percent chance she
12:24 Thu, 21 Dec G

would get Seth.
“Ladies first, so you guys draw the lots.”
Simon had everything well prepared. He brought
over a cylindrical container with four pieces of
paper inside and handed it to Isabella.

After randomly grabbing one, she wasn’t in a hurry
to open it.
Then, Selena and Bethany took one each, and
Bethany’s cheer was soon heard. “Babe, it looks like
it is true love.”
Just great. Now, it is a one–in–three chance.

light, she slowly unfolded it.
“Aww…” Before Isabella could see whose name it
was, she heard Selena’s disappointed voice from
opposite her.

Bethany went over and glanced at the paper.
“You’re teaming up with Mr. Dunkstein.”

Once those words were said, everyone inside the
room looked at Isabella. Only Seth held a wine
glass in his hand, absentmindedly swirling it.
“Hurry up and open it,” Bethany urged.
Forcing herself to unfold the paper, Isabella hadn’t
had the chance to see what was on it before

Bethany snatched it away.
Like before, she jeered. “Oh, my…”
Isabella felt her hair stand on its end as she felt a
foreboding feeling washing over her.
