?<strong>Chapter 520:</strong>


    But even as she conceded, she made sure to boast. She was still resentful after catching Colton paying a visit to Allison.


    But Allison cast her a nonchnt side-eye, her gaze flickering. “Once you’re in, Miss Johnson, you can’t leave before the game is over.”


    “What?” Mny nced around in confusion. “But I have no chips left — I can’t y anymore.”


    Ignoring Allison’s words, Mny turned to leave, only to be blocked by Amor’s ck-suited bodyguards.


    “What’s going on?” she demanded, a faint tremor in her voice.


    Amor leaned in, a smile ying at her lips. “Don’t tell me you sat at this table without knowing the rules.”


    Mny turned stiffly. “What… What rules?”


    “Like I said, once you start ying, there’s no backing out,” Allison exined again, her lips curling. “You y until you’re either broke or… throw in the towel.”


    Amor pped her hands, her voice carrying a dangerous allure. “What she said is right. No need to be afraid, though.”


    She leaned into the table. “I brought you into this, so I won’t abandon you. Besides, running out of money is a minor inconvenience. I can lend you a million.”


    Only a fool could be easily manipted. Amor intended to ensnare Mny, to make her a willing pawn.

    Mny’s face paled in fear as Amor’s words sank in. “No. I quit,” she began, her voice trembling.


    But she was cut short by the bodyguard’s drawn gun and Amor’s cruel, nonchnt smile. In that moment, Mny realized the danger she was in. Cold sweat beaded on her forehead.


    Amor was a viper, she realized. Letting her join the game had been a trap!


    Mny found herself with no options left. She could only swallow her pride and ask Amor, “Would you be willing to loan me some money?”


    She didn’t have the funds now, but she needed to stay in the game. At least Colton wouldn’t leave her stranded, she thought. If she kept ying, she could use Stevens Group’s money to repay the one millionter.


    “Certainly,” Amor replied, giving a small nod. Then, almost offhandedly, she added, “But I do have one condition — you’ll need to be my partner in the next round.”


    Relief washed over Mny. Without even consulting Colton, she quickly nodded. “Alright, I’m willing to be your partner.” Given the situation, she knew Amor’s skills were stronger than Allison’s. Plus, with their interests now aligned, Amor had no reason to harm her.


    Mny thought perhaps she was overthinking things. With Amor on her side, they shared amon opponent, and perhaps they could even push Allison to her limit and make a fortune in the process.


    Across the room, Kylo’s voice cut through the tension. “For bnce, Scarlet Snake, you may choose a partner too.” Allison rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.
