Chapter 971

Under the table, Lena felt her mother’s foot nudge her a dear signal: Let Xandra win.

Lena gritted her teeth. Why was everyone fawning over a girlfriend who hadn’t even officially joined the family?

Annoyed, she huffed inwardly. The more you tellto lose the harder I'll fight to win.

The gbegan, and Lena's starting hand was exceptional-practically a heavenly draw. She was only one card

away from winning while the others still struggled with mismatched cards. It seemed like an easy victory was in

the cards for her.

But then, as if under a spell, her luck took a sharp turn. None of the cards she needed showed up. Worse, every

tshe reached for a card, Xandra would intercept it with a call, blocking her progress entirely.

As the rounds continued, even her mother, Briana, reached a ready hand, while Lena was still stuck with the

scards she started with. Soon, her grandmother joined the fray, and eventually, even Xandra declared

readiness.

Three players were now poised to win, leaving Lena the odd one out.

Gafter game, Lena found herself in the sfrustrating position. Her starting hands were promising, but

they always ended in disaster.

Her grandmother couldn't help but laugh. “What's wrong, Lucky Aces? Did your Aunt Xandra jinx your luck?”

Briana chimed in, her tone half-teasing. “Lena, it’s fine to let her win a few games. You don’t have to lose every

single one!”

Lena wanted to scream. Who's letting her win?! It’s not me—it’s my useless cards!

She glanced at Xandra, who fumbled with her cards like a complete beginner. She was clumsy, arranging her

deck with a nervous energy that reminded Lena of herself when she first started playing.

Back then, her victories were thanks to Aaron's subtle coaching. Today, Xandra’s wins clearly followed the same

pattern. He was guiding her, making sure she cout on top.

The realization lit a spark of defiance in Lena. If he can make her win, why does that mean I have to lose so

miserably?

Fueled by frustration, Lena decided to shake things up. She started playing erratically-breaking up good hands,

ignoring opportunities to fold, and sabotaging her strategy entirely.

Her unpredictable moves threw the ginto chaos. Xandra stopped winning, and the victories shifted to their

grandmother instead.

Deborah was ecstatic. “I've never had such a lucky streak in all my years of playing! Xandy, you're my good luck

charm. Marrying Aaron will surely bring prosperity to the family.”

Lena silently rolled her eyes. It’s my chaos that’s helping her win, not Xandy. But she held her tongue, thinking,

At least Grandma's happy. If she’s smiling now, maybe tomorrow’s announcement won’t hit her so hard.

The games stretched on until ten at night. By the end, everyone except Lena seemed content.

Still, she took ssatisfaction in disrupting Aaron’s plans.

As they were getting ready to leave, Xandra approached Lena. “Lena, can we exchange numbers?”

Lena hesitated, wanting to refuse. But since she had already accepted the renaming fee and Xandra was likely
