17: Chapter 17 I Will Expose It 17: Chapter 17 I Will Expose It But after all, soone was sponsoring the ga, and it seed that Emily’s luck had improved a bit.
Indeed, she started to win more often.
Jonathan and his wife didn’t notice anything suspicious about Emily this ti, even though Jas was playing cards that allowed Emily to win.
It seed perfectly normal.
After playing for over three hours, Emily had won more than two thousand dollars, which made her quite proud.
Unfortunately, more than half of her winnings ca from Jas, who had been deliberately feeding her cards, leaving his own ga a complete ss.
He had barely won three rounds.
No wonder he lost.
Jas himself didn’t have much money.
If Gina hadn’t given him three thousand dollars beforehand, he would have been broke by now.
But having lost over a thousand dollars and after buying a set of clothes for Emily, he didn’t have much left.
“We’ll play again tonight.
I need to go chop the filling now,” Emily’s mother said as she stood up from the card table.
It was New Year’s Eve, and they had to eat dumplings.
She didn’t like buying frozen ones from the store, so she had to prepare everything herself.
At this point, Emily was also satisfied, stuffing the money into her pocket and trotting away cheerfully.
Jas was finally in charge of his own foot again.
During this ti, his foot had really taken advantage of the situation.
Now it was ti for a break.
In Gina’s bedroom, after closing the door, Gina removed the computer from her lap and said, “You lost quite a bit, huh?”
“Yes, I’m not good at this ga.”
“Here.” Gina pulled a stack of money from under the pillow and handed it to Jas.
“What’s this for?” Jas looked at Gina, puzzled.
“The losses are on .
You’re keeping my parents entertained, making them happy,” Gina said with a gentle smile.
She didn’t like playing Mahjong herself, but she wanted her parents to feel joyful.
Having Jas play with her parents made her quite content.
“Well, I won’t be shy then, otherwise, if we play again later, I’ll end up without any money to bet.”
“Hmm, you did well,” Gina praised.
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!” Emily’s voice ca from outside.
“Quick, put the money away,” Gina hurriedly urged Jas.
Jas quickly hid the money just as Emily burst through the door.
Seeing one of them sitting on the bed and the other standing beside it, she giggled and said, “Didn’t an to interrupt anything good, did I?”
“What good thing?
What do you want?”
“Brother-in-law, co help out,” Emily winked.
“Sure!” Jas cheerfully agreed, following Emily to her room.
Once inside, Emily closed the door behind them and locked it.
She then gave Jas a big thumbs-up and said, “Brother-in-law, you’re so cool.”
After playing a fierce ga of ghost with Emily, Jas found their interaction quite casual.
Laughing, he said, “Still, you almost rubbed the skin off my foot.”
“Hehe, co on, let’s split the booty.” Emily jumped onto the bed, crossed her legs, and started pulling out all the money.
Emily’s room was not as simple as Gina’s.
Decorations hung everywhere—above the bed, in front of the window—and there was a sizable stuffed toy on the bed, showing that Emily still had a bit of a childish side.
Despite the sisters being around the sa age, they were quite different.
Sitting casually by the bed, Jas chuckled and said, “No need.”
“What do you an, no need?
You don’t have any money, and besides, you were deliberately playing for to win, and since you couldn’t win yourself, of course, we should split it.
Oh, by the way, did you just go to my sister’s place?
Did she reimburse you?”
“You guessed right,” laughed Jas.
“Hehe, then I won’t share with you, consider it as winning from my sister.” Emily nonchalantly took back the money.
Staring at Jas in surprise, Emily then pursed her lips and smiled, “Tell , brother-in-law, are you really my sister’s boyfriend?”
Jas smiled and countered, “Do you think I’m a fake?”
“Yes, you are definitely a fake,” Emily answered confidently.
“Why?” Jas sat down.
“Why?
Because my sister is so proud.
How could she find a boyfriend that easily?
And with her personality, she would definitely want soone stronger than her.
I don’t believe your story that a security guard could have anything to do with her.
I won’t believe it.”
“Love is often blind.”
“Pfft, I believe love is blind, but it requires true love from both sides, and every action should reflect affection.
When I look at you two together, all I see are pretenses.
My sister doesn’t have a single bit of love in her eyes when she looks at you, and you don’t have that kind of affection when you look at her either, so you’re definitely an imposter.”
“And you think, with my sister’s personality, she would let an imposter boyfriend sleep in the sa room with her?”
“This…” Emily was at a loss for words.
“Hehe, you’re partly right.
Although the relationship between your sister and hasn’t reached that fiery stage of dying love, we are indeed together, and we’re both trying to adapt to each other.
Maybe in a little while, you’ll be able to see what you want to see.”
“Really?” Emily’s eyes clearly spelled “doubt.”
“You can see for yourself.” Jas grinned smugly and left Emily’s room.
Emily swung her fist in the air confidently and declared, “Humph, I will certainly expose you both.
Sis, you think you can deceive ?
Not a chance.”
