Chapter 612: Chapter 631: Begin Distributing the Spoils
The area around the gambling table suddenly fell silent, you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was staring at John Brown’s three nines and then glancing at Robert Johnson’s three eights, while no one paid attention to Charles Goodman’s small straight flush. If anyone was unlucky, it was naturally Robert Johnson.
Charles Goodman then burst out yelling, “You’re cheating!”
Jas Brown smiled faintly and said, “When you speak, you need to provide evidence. On this cruise ship, there shouldn’t lack surveillance caras. Whether I was cheating or not, you can definitely check. But you, Young Master Goodman, can’t be soone who can’t take a loss, right? Just a few million, are you that bothered?”
“Fine, fine! You brat, just you wait!” Charles Goodman slamd the table furiously and stord out of the casino.
Robert Johnson looked at Jas Brown, then smiled slightly and said, “Looks like I’ve underestimated you. You are indeed a good opponent.”
“You’re too kind, Senior Brother Johnson,” laughed Jas Brown.
With Robert Johnson’s shrewdness, he could tell from start to finish he fell into the trap set by Jas Brown, but he was deep in thought and didn’t show any anger. He stood up, smiled, and said, “If there’s a chance in the future, let’s play again. I enjoy playing with clever people like my brother-in-law.”
Jas Brown replied confidently, “You’re too kind.”
“Gina, don’t worry; I’m not a petty person. I can afford to lose this money, and it won’t affect our cooperation.”
Emily Lopez chuckled and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother Johnson.”
While Robert Johnson said he could afford to lose, he was certainly feeling a pinch in his heart. Seven million! Let’s not ntion him; even Charles Goodman, with a family asset of ten billion, would feel the pinch. Sure, he had assets worth ten billion, but much of it was in real estate. How many seven million would he easily have? Not to ntion Robert Johnson didn’t have that much asset.
Robert Johnson also left, and everyone looked at Jas Brown with envy as he exchanged his chips. Even if the casino took a cut, Jas Brown still won over a thousand dollars. The money ca way too easily, making it unnecessary to run any business; a couple of wins like this a year would be more than enough.
Exiting the casino, the three of them entered a small private room in a nearby bar. Emily Lopez eagerly clung to Jas Brown’s arm, gave him a loud smack on the cheek, and said spiritedly, “Brother-in-law, you’re amazing! You won more than a thousand dollars in one go.”
Although Lucy Campbell wanted to be as carefree as Emily Lopez, she remained rational and smiled, “Yes, you are quite ruthless, managing to trick those two so badly.”
Emily Lopez chuckled, “Those two didn’t have good intentions towards Brother-in-law anyway, so who else should we con? Co on, Brother-in-law, I and Sister Emily worked so well together; you must share the winnings with us.”
In front of Lucy Campbell, Jas Brown dared not get too close to Emily Lopez and tapped her head, laughing, “Alright, alright, I’ll give you ten thousand as pocket money later.”
“Just ten thousand? Brother-in-law, you’re being stingy! No, no, it should be split equally, each getting four million. Right, Sister Lucy?”
Lucy Campbell pressed her lips in a smile and said, “Emily is right, that’s how it should be split.”
Jas Brown’s eyes widened imdiately and he said, “I an, Lucy, do you even care about such a small amount of money?”
Lucy Campbell laughed softly and said, “Although I’m not short of money, this is my first ti getting money like this, and it does feel quite fun, so I definitely want a share.”
Jas Brown pulled a long face and said, “Alright, alright, I was planning to stash so money away, but you ended up taking more than half.”
Emily Lopez glared and said, “What private stash, you’ve already got plenty of money. Let tell you, this is my private stash, and you’re not allowed to tell my sister or my parents, or they’ll confiscate it.”
Jas Brown laughed heartily and said, “Well then, you better give so hush money. How about this, give three million as hush money and spend the rest as you wish.”
“Stinky brother-in-law, no way!” Emily Lopez jumped onto Jas Brown, playfully wrestling with him.
As he defended himself, Jas Brown said, “Stop ssing around, I’ll give it to you, don’t let Lucy laugh at you.” Jas Brown didn’t want anyone to know about his special relationship with Emily Lopez, not even Lucy Campbell.
Emily Lopez then realized that Lucy Campbell was present, and imdiately said fiercely to Jas Brown, “Stinky brother-in-law, just see if you dare not give the money.”
Lucy Campbell watched them playing and felt that their relationship was too close, suspecting if there was sothing overly intimate between them. However, it seed unlikely because Jas Brown was ticulous in his actions. If he ssed around with his sister-in-law, Gina wouldn’t let him off the hook because Emily Lopez wasn’t the kind of girl who would do sothing foolish. It made sense they were close, given they lived under the sa roof, and naturally, Emily Lopez would be closer to Jas than other sister-in-laws.
Jas Brown laughed, “But Emily, this can’t be hidden from your sister, can it? Robert Johnson will definitely tell your sister later.”
Emily Lopez imdiately lost her confidence, saying, “That’s it, I can’t hoard this money secretly anymore.”
Lucy Campbell chuckled softly and said, “Not necessarily; Gina didn’t see how much we won, and even if Robert Johnson ets Gina later, it’s not like he’ll feel good ntioning it. At least, he won’t be able to bring up the exact amount lost, right? Gina saw what happened at the ti.” She winked at Emily Lopez as she spoke.
Grace Lopez was overjoyed at once, and she said: “Yeah, let’s just say we won four million, Brother-in-law will hand over your four million, and then we can privately keep mine and Lucy’s.”
Jas Brown imdiately rolled his eyes, saying: “Why is it that mine has to be handed over while yours can be kept? That’s not fair at all.”
Grace Lopez laughed heartily and said, “You and my sister are a married couple, right? Your money obviously has to be handed over. If n have money, they can easily go astray. Now it’s Charlotte, now it’s Emma, if I give you more money, who knows what kind of trouble you’ll stir up.” Later on, Grace Lopez stopped laughing and glared at Jas Brown.
Jas Brown gave an awkward smile. This girl was more strict with him than Gina Lopez, but then again, Grace Lopez was almost like his wife too, so her controlling him was normal.
Lucy Campbell said at this ti: “Jas, have you learned gambling techniques?”
Grace Lopez imdiately followed up, “Yeah, Brother-in-law, you even know that? You were able to deal such a spectacular hand.”
Jas Brown laughed slyly and said, “I don’t know any gambling techniques at all, but when I was the dealer in that round, I had already arranged that card neatly when I picked up the cards. You just have to be a bit quicker with your hand, and it won’t reveal any flaw, but the player before has to cut the cards just right. As long as the cut cos up, you’ve made it.”
Grace Lopez’s eyes lit up, and she said: “If you have that skill, when we go back and play mahjong with my parents, you should deal the good cards, so I can give them a good thrashing.”
Jas Brown couldn’t help but chuckle and said: “You wanted to trick them for spending money in the past, now you’re a rich lady with four million, do you still care about that little bit of money?”
“That’s different; it’s just for the thrill. It’s settled then.”
After being happy for a while, Jas Brown called Gina Lopez. Gina López told Jas Brown that they were shopping at a store on the tenth floor.
Jas Brown took Grace Lopez and Lucy Campbell over there and quickly found them. To his slight dismay, it was one thing for won to like shopping usually, but even on this cruise, they were shopping, which was truly a bit of a waste of ti.
gan Jenkins was explaining fashion brands to Gina Lopez and the others. When it cos to buying these things, this girl is the most skilled; all her money is spent on shopping. She travels all over the world, and she knows all about luxury brands very well, explaining them thoroughly.
Gina Lopez seldom goes shopping usually and doesn’t like shopping. When she first knew Jas Brown, she shopped at the mall with Jas Brown and Grace Lopez but waited downstairs instead of walking with them, which shows her character a bit.
However, after getting married, even though she is still a workaholic, her standards for life have changed. Won dress up for their admirers, so she pays more attention to her looks now. So many people have their eyes on Jas Brown; if she doesn’t groom herself properly, she won’t know how to handle it when Jas is off sowhere.
On this cruise ship, there were several world’s top luxury boutiques, and Gina Lopez planned to pick so outfits here, but looking at the prices, she was secretly stunned. The clothes could easily cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per set. Although she could afford it with her wealth, it was still a bit burdenso.
At this mont, Jas Brown and the others returned. Seeing Gina Lopez hesitating over a dress set costing tens of thousands, Grace Lopez imdiately spoke generously: “Sis, buy whatever you want; today Brother-in-law is going all out. Everything you like will be bought for you.”
Gina Lopez frowned and said: “Don’t say nonsense. Such expensive clothes can’t be just bought like that.”
Jas Brown smiled and said: “No worries, I just won a little money earlier.”
“It’s good that you didn’t lose.” Gina Lopez casually said, not paying much attention.
Grace Lopez giggled and said: “Sis, my Brother-in-law won a lot of money.”
“How much did he win?” Gina Lopez finally turned to look at Jas Brown, more attentive now.
Grace Lopez extended four fingers, waving them in front of Gina Lopez.
“Forty thousand?”
Grace Lopez shook her head.
“Four hundred thousand?”
Grace Lopez shook her head even more proudly.
“Don’t tell Jas won four million!” Gina Lopez spoke with so excitent.
Grace Lopez nodded vigorously, and then Gina Lopez, Sunny Nguyen, Emily Jenkins, and Sarah Utah were all dumbfounded, feeling quite pleased. If they were to know that Jas Brown won over a thousand million at once, who knows what kind of expressions they’d have.
