“How exactly do you want to settle this bet?” she asked.
Jax’s smile widened slightly. “Naturally, we'll wager on jade stones.” Betting on jade was the ultimate test of skill
and nerve. It was as unpredictable as it was thrilling. Everything depended on the gambler’s knowledge and
instinct—one wrong move, and a worthless rock could cost a fortune. Only those with real experience dared to
play this game. After all, gambling on stones was a dangerous business. Not everyone had the stomach to risk
everything and walk away empty-handed.
“Your fiancée seems to be in a bit of a tight spot,” Herbert remarked, ever the troublemaker. He arched an
eyebrow, amusement dancing in his eyes. “That old fox Jax has no shame, chasing after a young woman at his
age.”
Nate met his gaze, his face unreadable. “Do you think she'll lose?”
Herbert smirked. “Do you think she’ll win?”
He didn’t doubt Corrine’s abilities, but Jax was a force to be reckoned with. Jax wasn’t just rich—he built his

Herbert flicked the ash off his cigarette before stubbing it out. He spoke lazily. “How's the betting structured?”
The aide hesitated, sneaking a glance at Nate before lowering his gaze. “The odds are ten to one against Miss
Holland. Jax is at two to one.” The message was clear—almost everyone was convinced Corrine would lose.
Herbert wasn’t surprised. He smirked and turned to Nate. “Why don’t we join in on the fun?”

“I'm betting on Corrine,” Nate said.
Herbert's excitement flared instantly. This was shaping up to be a very profitable night. His eyes gleamed as he
quickly turned to his aide. “Hurry, place my bet on Jax!”
His rushed tone betrayed his urgency—he wasn’t about to risk Nate changing his mind.
The crowd buzzed with anticipation, and without hesitation, a gambling table was set up right in front of Corrine.
