My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 703

Chapter 703 No One Wants To Play With Emma

Even though Kevin and Waylen were thrown into the pool, Ian had no intention of letting anyone go. He carried Diego from the front yard and threw him into the pool before deciding that it was enough. Aimes, who had been silent, managed to escape the ordeal by standing quietly by the pool. Moreover, no one dared to report him.

Ian perhaps understood his friends all too well and assumed that the ones who joined the prank were Kevin, Diego, and Waylen, who had always been cooperative. He never expected Aimes to be involved.

By the time the four men climbed out of the pool and changed into fresh clothes, half an hour already passed. They sat in the living room, drying their hair with towels. Ian then gnashed his teeth and grunted at Waylen, "Don't assume that I don't know you're always secretly helping them behind your calm and gentle facade. Do you think Sunny is unaware that you gossip about him with Kevin? If you guys mess with me again, I'll quit my job at headquarters and focus on dealing with all of you!"

The people he mentioned naturally included Kevin and Diego. When the two heard that Ian wanted to quit, they hurriedly pleaded, "We were wrong! Please, don't quit. How can headquarters still function without you?!"

"That will be your fault!" Ian retorted.

Kevin quickly admitted his mistake, "It's all my fault."

The hardworking and diligent Ian quitting was the greatest fear of these two convenience-seekers. Seeing them begging and admitting their faults, Emma and I laughed out loud. On the other hand, Serene sat silently on the side, looking at Ian. The most awkward of them all were probably Amy, Ian, and Troy. After all, it was always awkward when new lovers encounter their exes.

Ian was the calmest among them.

He dried his hair and tossed the towel aside, his gaze cold as he looked at Kevin and the rest. When Kevin noticed the angry look on his face, he suggested, "How about we play a game of poker?"

Just then, Christopher came downstairs and took a seat next to Emma. Emma was interested in playing poker, so she immediately agreed. "Count me in."

"I'm out," said Diego.

"I'm out too," Ian chimed in.

Biting her lip, she asked, "Why? What's wrong with you guys?"

Kevin tossed Emma a disdainful look. "Who here doesn't know about your memory? I remember the day Ian complained to me about you. You played poker with them for the first time and you instantly won a few hundred million from him, Diego, and Morgan!"

Emma quickly explained, "It wasn't that much! You guys bet on the latest sports car at the time! Besides, I'm just an employee. I won it on behalf of Shawn that night."

The first time I met Diego was at a bar, where they were playing poker. Emma was the biggest winner that night, and it was after that that Diego started showing interest in her.

Meanwhile, Kevin shamelessly bullied her. "Playing poker is about having fun. It's a give-and-take process that relies on luck, but you're playing with your brains! Anyway, I don't care. If you play, we quit! You should better just watch."

Emma felt frustrated upon hearing that. "Am I not qualified to play?"

"I'll play on behalf of you, Emmie."

Christopher's warm voice sounded as gentle as a spring breeze, which was very comforting to the ear. He had always been the epitome of warmth and radiance.

He was as dazzling as Shawn, but he lacked the hostility that Shawn possessed.

"Okay. Go ahead, but they bet a high amount, so be careful. Ugh... Why don't you guys let me play?!"

No one wanted to play poker with Emma.

Well, at least, our circle vetoed the idea of having her in the game.

In the future, she could only play with strangers and win their money.

Then, Kevin stood up and retorted, "Do you think we get money from the skies? Why would we willingly get swindled by you? So it's me, Ian, Christopher, and who else?"

No one responded, so Kevin asked kindly, "Aimes, would you like to play? If you win, the money is all yours. If you lose, I'll pay. How does that sound?"

Aimes countered, "You think I can't afford to lose?"

Immediately after that, he added, "Count me out."

Kevin ignored Aimes' unpleasant tone and turned to Waylen, who quickly stood up and remarked, "I still have to welcome the guests. Besides, my annual salary is not even worth one month of your salaries. How can I afford to play with you guys?"

After that, he left the living room, leaving Diego with them.

Kevin was in disbelief as he questioned, "Are you really sitting out of the game?"

"I'm tired. Call Eve."

Kevin vetoed, "How do you expect a young lady like herself to play? If she loses, she'll bawl at me! You should play instead!"

Amy, who wasn't interested, agreed. "I can't afford to."

I heard Troy whisper to Amy on the side. "Just go ahead if you want to. It doesn't matter if you win or lose."

Kevin heard it too and chimed in, "Look at how generous your boyfriend is!"

"I'm not playing, so don't ask me anymore."

Amy instinctively leaned toward Troy, who allowed her to show affection in front of everyone.

"Tch, get a room!"

I looked at Ian, who remained calm. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Just then, May came to the rescue. "I can play."

Eventually, they managed to gather four people.

There was a table in the innermost part of the living room, so I instructed the two maids to bring it out. When the four of them sat down at the table, Amy kindly reminded May, "Ms. Sommer, you have to be careful with them. Otherwise, not only will you lose all your fortune today, but you'll also be heavily in debt."

May smiled softly and replied, "It's okay. I'm the wealthiest woman in the world. Alfred's card is still with me."

Her words sounded so domineering that Kevin couldn't help but comment, "I'm envious of you. I only have me, myself, and I."

Aimes cursed, "You're just playing poker. What's with all that nonsense? You know you're poor, yet you're playing for such high stakes!"

Kevin explained, "Well, we rarely play!"

They played until lunchtime, and although Christopher didn't excel at poker, he either won by himself or made use of Kevin to win.

Eventually, Kevin realized that he was being targeted.

"What did I do to offend you?" He asked Christopher.

"Why would you ask that question?" Christopher replied.

After several hours, the biggest winner turned out to be May, while the other three lost. However, among these wealthy people, the wins and losses were insignificant. In the end, May Sommer won a few million.

Christopher lost the least amount, which was only a few hundred thousand, but Emma felt sorry for him. With a serious face, she turned to Kevin, "It's not fun because I don't get a chance to play because of my intelligence."

Wearing a fearless look on his face, Kevin challenged, "I don't care. I don't find it meaningful at all to lose to you. Let's call it a day and have lunch!"

Emma felt aggrieved as she commented, "All you do is play and eat."

Kevin made a face upon hearing that. "Challenge me, then!"

"Childish brat!" Emma teased.

The front yard was bustling, everything was ready, while the performers were still rehearsing. I asked Eilam to inform Alicia of lunchtime.

Alicia had been occupied all morning because of the party. After following Eilam into the living room and looking around, she asked, "Where's Sunny?"
