Chapter 1246

Elbert looked at Bernard, who seemed pretty pissed off, with a glint of mischief in his eyes.

“How about this? We, the Pine family, admit defeat for this round. But everyone who’s in this far must

play the final round, only the rules for winning or losing will be reset. What do you think?”

Before Bernard could open his mouth, Cedric jumped up, all hyped up, “I’m in! Let’s do this!”

No matter what, he had to save his own ship and those two robots!

Bernard didn’t have much of a reaction, just wrapped an arm around Eleanor’s waist, pulling her closer

to him, then lifted his icy gaze to Robin.

“Do we continue?”

Robin’s eyes flicked over Bernard’s hand on Eleanor’s waist, then quickly looked away.

“The game’s not over yet, of course we continue!”

Bernard’s hand moved from Eleanor’s waist to the back of her head, giving a gentle press, and Eleanor

leaned into his arms.

“Then let’s proceed.”

Though the intimate gesture was a little awkward in front of everyone, Eleanor cooperated obediently

with Bernard.

She leaned into Bernard’s arms, looking up at him. Robin saw this and felt a pang in his chest.

His fists clenched, he looked away, no longer looking at Eleanor.

After all, Bernard had warned him several times already, in a way that clearly marked his territory. It

wasn’t appropriate to keep looking.

But it wasn’t that he wanted to look, it was just that his eyes were uncontrollable!

He couldn’t possibly gouge out his own eyeballs, could he?

Elbert couldn’t figure out the undercurrents between Bernard and Robin, so he just focused on the

game at hand, “Mr. Laurence, shall we make it harder for the final round?”

Hailey, who was still in the game, shot Elbert a disgruntled look, “What’s your next scheme?”

Elbert pulled two cards from the deck, one of them a joker. –

“Bernard, you and I will draw cards. Whoever draws the joker first gets to set the rules. The rewards

and punishments for winning or losing can be announced after the game.”

With that, Elbert raised an eyebrow at Bernard. “What do you say, Bernard, do you dare to gamble with

me?”

Hailey thought the game was getting out of hand, “Elbert, if you set the rules, the loser will go broke,

won’t they?!”

Elbert turned to Hailey, “Don’t worry, Hailey. The stakes won’t exceed ten million. I know how to keep

things in check. I wouldn’t let my little sister lose out.”

He paused, then turned his gaze back to Bernard, “Besides, the odds of winning are fifty-fifty in this

game. How do you know Bernard will lose?”

His words left Hailey speechless. Bernard’s aura and luck were strong, maybe he could draw the joker.

So she kept quiet.

The others who had been eliminated found the game thrilling but were also a bit worried. Bernard was

the only one without any emotional response, he simply said, “Let’s get started.”

Bernard joined the game, a smirk playing on Elbert’s lips. He quickly picked up the two cards on the

table, ready to shuffle them himself, but Cedric snatched them away, “I’ll do it!”

Elbert was taken aback, “I’ll do it.”

Cedric scoffed, “I knew you were up to something. Were you cheating?!”

Elbert was pissed, “I didn’t shuffle the cards just now, how could I cheat?!”

Cedric hit back, “Even if you didn’t cheat just now, isn’t it obvious you’re trying to cheat now by insisting

on shuffling?!”

The Pine family wanted to shuffle the only two cards? Did they think the Laurences were idiots?!

Elbert had intended to do so, and Cedric caught him out, but he still insisted, “I’ll shuffle the cards

behind my back…”

Cedric said, “It wouldn’t make a difference even if you shuffled them in the sky!”

Elbert was speechless. “You…”

“Shut up, both of you!” Robin snapped impatiently, “Let the waiter do it!”

The waiter nearby was startled, “Me…”

He was about to say ‘I don’t dare’, when he saw Cedric shove the cards into his hand, “Shuffle them

well, get a Joker for my bro!”

The waiter pulled a face, grumbling inwardly. Why was such a major task given to him, a lowly

employee? He didn’t want to get involved!

The waiter was unhappy but didn’t dare to voice his complaints. He took the cards from Cedric,

trembling slightly, turned around, shuffled the two cards a few times, then placed them back on the

table.
