NovelGoldChapter 1088:
Although Mandy knew she was nothing but a subordinate, she couldn't stop herself from interfering. And for
once, she allowed her personal instincts to take control. She didn’t want Corrine to take such a reckless risk.
Corrine’s eyes landed on Mandy's hand on her wrist before a subtle smirk curved her lips. “I thought you'd be
the first to enjoy watchingfail.”
Mandy had never been one to mask her feelings—her emotions were always plainly visible. Corrine was well
aware that Mandy didn’t like her. That she would intervene, even slightly, cas an unexpected surprise.
Mandy hesitated and pursed her lips. “I...”
“Relax.” Corrine tapped Mandy’s hand lightly before leaning in to whisper, “When you place your bets, make
sure to include a share for me.”
Mandy was dumbfounded. Was this woman completely insane? This was Jax Foster they were up against. Where

with no background in the trade. Accepting such a challenge was either bold beyond reason or sheer foolishness.
“Young lady, I'll let you have the first pick,” Jax said casually, one hand resting behind his back. His confidence
was unmistakable, bordering on arrogance.
Corrine met his gaze, her lips curving into a courteous smile. “Respecting the elderly is important. Since you
have more experience, you should go first.”
A fleeting, indecipherable emotion passed over Jax’s face, but it vanished just as swiftly. His expression
smoothed back into impassivity. “If you insist, | won't refuse.”
“Please, be my guest,” Corrine said evenly.
