100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Four…

~~*****~~

Veronica checked her two cards. The community cards on the table were Queen of Spade, Ten Spades, Jack of Spade and Queen of Heart and Ace of Diamond.

Veronica was holding Ace of Spade and Eight Spade. This gave her a flush combination. She has good cards. She believed that Abigail didn't have a full house.

'She has been gambling blindly without a strategy. She kept on betting as if she had a good card combination. But it turned out, Abigail was just bluffing us,' Veronica thought to herself. She was also confident since Abigail had no idea what her two cards were. She didn't take a look at her cards.

"Alright! Call," Veronica said, accepting Abigail's challenge.

Now it was their turn to reveal their cards. Stephen, Aiden, and Little Ethan were so focused, anticipating who would win this round.

If Abigail could win this round, she would get the highest total amount of chips, making her the winner. But if Veronica won this round, Abigail had to leave the mansion.

Veronica showed her cards first. Aiden and Stephen could only sigh deeply. They didn't expect that Veronica would be so lucky today. Her card combination was so great in every round.

Little Ethan held Abigail's hand, getting anxious for the upcoming result. This was the end game. Abigail just gently patted his head while giving him a reassuring smile.

Abigail picked up her cards that were facing down on the table. She smirked meaningfully before flipping them up.

Everyone's jaw dropped when the two cards were revealed. Abigail got King of Spade and Nine Spade, leaving her with a straight flush! She won!

"I win!" Abigail declared.

"Yehey!" Ethan jumped with joy, still holding her hand. "Congrats, Miss Abi!"

Aiden and Veronica were still dumbfounded, looking at her with disbelief in their eyes. How could that happen? Was she lucky enough to win this? She didn't even see her cards, why did she look so confident when she bet all her chips?

As the two were still in a state of shock, Stephen remained calm in his seat. He was grinning from ear to ear as he watched Abigail and Ethan. He was happy for them.

Veronica had the urge to flip the table around. She felt like Abigail cheated during the game.

Veronica stood up, clenching her fists. "Did you cheat?" She asked her sternly, her eyes shooting daggers at Abigail.

Butler Li bit his lower lip as he stepped back. He didn't want to get involved with the women's cat fight. Fortunately, Aiden and Stephen were present. Butler Li avoided them, secretly retreating to escape.

Meanwhile, Stephen already stepped into the middle of the two ladies to be a mediator of them just in case the two would suddenly pull each other's hair.

He might be overthinking but he could feel that Veronica was so pissed off right now. She even accused Abigail of cheating during the game.

"Are you blind or you can't just accept your defeat, telling me that I cheated?" Abigail mocked Veronica. Her voice was filled with sarcasm.

Abigail didn't have time to deal with this jealous woman so she just stepped back, pulling Ethan's hand. She decided to ignore Veronica whose blood was boiling in rage.

"Aiden, Stephen… Don't go back on your words. You have to convince Nathan to have a date with me," Abigail reminded them before marching towards the mansion. Ethan was following her.

Aiden and Stephen were left speechless. They almost forgot about that. Now, they were in trouble. They didn't know how they would explain this to Nathan. How much more to convince him to go out with someone and have a date?

"We shouldn't have gone easy on her during the game," Aiden mumbled, regretting it. Thinking that Abigail didn't know how to play poker, Aiden just allowed the two women to compete with each other.

"We underestimated her luck," he added, shaking his head in helplessness.

Stephen could only chuckle. He didn't underestimate Abigail. In fact, he wanted to win but his card combination wasn't good.

"Are you really going to convince Nathan?" Veronica asked them with a chilly glint in her eyes. If she were to decide, she wouldn't allow them to do so.

​ "Remember, a bet is a bet!" Aiden reminded her of the words she uttered a while ago. He just gave her words back to her. Whether she liked it or not,  they had the obligation to keep the end of the deal.

Abigail won the game fair and square. That's what Aiden thought! But little did he know, Abigail pulled a few tricks to win the last round!

[ One hour later…]

Inside the mansion, Abigail was walking leisurely on the corridor going to her room. She bumped into Butler Li who had just come out of Ethan's room. The little young master was now taking a nap after playing with his robot friends, Powy and Riemc.

One of these days, he would introduce Abigail to his robot friends. He was just waiting for the right opportunity and he was still conditioning the two robots. They were sensitive to other humans.

"Butler Li," Abigail called him with a wide smile on her face. She raised her hand, asking Butler Li for a high five.

Butler Li chuckled before raising his hand. They gave each other an exuberant high five in the middle of the hallway.

"Miss Abi, nice one! Congratulations on winning the game!" Butler Li greeted her enthusiastically.

"Haha, no need to mention it. It's you who made it happen!" Abigail's eyes sparkled in delight as she recalled how Butler Li helped her win the game.

The person she texted was none other than Butler Li, her secret weapon. Since he was the card dealer, Abigail used one of the five wishes Butler Li owed her.

Using Ethan's phone, Abigail messaged him to let her win. With that, Butler Li cheated, giving Abigail good cards. He grabbed the chance that Aiden, Stephen, and Veronica were so preoccupied and distracted by Nathan's phone call.

"You only have four wishes left, Miss Abi!" Butler Li said, raising his four fingers.

"I know." Abigail let out another giggle. She just found a new ally in that house. Butler Li was quite useful!
