Chapter 870 The Casino Part Two
Since it was time to show their hands, the fifth card was finally revealed.
As the croupier took away all the chips that Caleb had pushed in front of her, she remarked, “Sir, I’m sorry, but you have lost. Now that you have run out of chips, I have to ask you to vacate your seat.”
As the words rolled off the croupier’s tongue, her eyes glistened with obvious ridicule, as if she was telling Caleb to get lost now that he had run out of money.
Suddenly, Caleb’s mind snapped when he saw the look in her eye, causing him to remain in front of the gambling table.
Even though Anna was mourning the money he lost, she realized that it was more important to get him home. Thus, she persuaded, “Caleb, now that you have lost the money, can you come home already?”
“Stop it!” Caleb vented all his fury on Anna. “Are you jealous of me making money to care for our family? Must you only be happy when I lose everything I have? All this while, you have looked down upon me and think that I’m not as good as you. Therefore, when you see me winning, you resort to such methods to break my lucky streak!”
The moment he finished, Caleb gave Anna a forceful slap without minding where they were.
Struck into a daze, Anna burst out in silent tears.
Looking at the pathetic couple, the croupier showed no pity at all. Instead, she sneered, “However you want to deal with this as a couple, you should do it at home. Please don’t waste our time as we’re an entertainment establishment.”
Anna swallowed her anger and tugged at Caleb’s sleeve.
“Let’s go home, all right?”
The latter didn’t respond.
Faced with his refusal, Anna continued to plead, “I beg of you, come home with me, please.”
Caleb felt that he had lost due to bad luck, and it was entirely because Anna had jinxed him.
“Shut up!”
“Caleb…”
Again?
Feeling as if he hadn’t vented enough from the slap, he prepared to punch the daylights out of Anna so that she would finally shut up.
Just when he grabbed her by her hair and raised his fist, Yandel caught his hand instead.
“Stop it.” With a narrowed gaze, Yandel threw Caleb a grim look. “I dare you to f*cking hit her one more time.”
With his hand restrained by Yandel, Caleb was infuriated when he could barely move at all. “I’m teaching my wife a lesson right now. What has it got anything to do with you? Since when is it your place to stick your nose into my business? She’s my wife, and I have the right to do whatever I please with her!”
Just when Anna felt the pull on her hair loosen, she was greeted by the sight of Yandel and Natalie when she raised her gaze.
Why are they here?
When it occurred to her that they might have witnessed the entire episode, Anna wished for the ground to open up and swallow her.
In fact, she couldn’t bring herself to face Natalie. The reason she ended up in such a predicament was that she refused to take the latter’s advice to not dive into the relationship back then.
Hanging her head, Anna didn’t know what to say as tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
Meanwhile, Yandel admonished Caleb, “You should mind that filthy mouth of yours.”
“Be honest with me, are you an ex-flame of my wife?” Caleb licked his lips in a disgusting manner before greedily suggesting, “Why don’t we make a bet? I’ll bet my wife, while you put in money. If I lose, you can have her. If you lose, you’ll pay me the money.”
The moment he spoke, Anna suddenly looked up and glared at Caleb.
“Caleb! I’m your wife, for goodness sake. How can you say such a thing?”
