Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1918: Chapter 1821: All-In

But what secretly delighted Alden was that the woman in front of him also seemed unsure whether he was stealing the pot or really holding a monster hand, so after hesitating for a moment, she actually chose once again to call without looking at her cards.

”I’ll call again!”

As she spoke, the woman across from him tossed out another five chips.

Alden sneered inwardly. Everything he’d done before was just to lure this woman step by step into the trap; as long as she didn’t fold and run away, this hand was as good as his!

He didn’t believe for a second that this woman really thought she had such heaven-defying luck she could beat him again without even looking at her cards. Pure delusion!

Alden smiled at Huo Sining and said, ”Miss Huo really has guts. No wonder you could take the WGC crown. Since you’re so confident, do you dare go all in on this hand?”

Alden deliberately used his words to needle Huo Sining, because he had silently run the math in his head—judging from his current board, his chance of winning this hand was about seventy-eight percent. With odds this good, if he didn’t dare to bet, then he would truly be unworthy of the title of Las Vegas Gambling God.

Sure enough, Huo Sining’s fighting spirit was provoked by Alden, or maybe she simply didn’t believe Alden would actually go all in on this hand, so she raised her brows and said:

”As long as you, Mr. Alden, dare to go all in, I’ll keep you company for this hand. How about it?”

Alden had been waiting for exactly this sentence. Afraid she might regret it, he jumped in the instant Huo Sining’s words fell:

”Fine. I still have fifty-seven million in chips here. I’m all in this hand!”

With that, Alden suddenly stood up and shoved all the chips in front of him forward.

Fifty-seven chips stacked together made quite a pile; with that one push, they toppled like dominoes, clattering crisply as they fell and finally spread across the entire table.

And as Alden shoved his chips for this all-in, his whole aura surged, his eyes sharp, exuding a powerful, oppressive presence. He looked just like those Gambling Kings on TV, walking around with their own intense BGM.

”He actually went all in—has this Alden gone crazy?” Su Qingqing was completely stunned.

”Not necessarily. Judging from Alden’s expression, he’s probably holding a big hand. I’m just afraid Huo Sining won’t dare call. If that happens, the thirty million she’s already put in will probably end up in Alden’s pocket.”

Li Jun frowned. Clearly, Alden had the upper hand in this hand, and he had been deliberately provoking Huo Sining, obviously trying to lead her by the nose.

Hearing this, Su Qingqing couldn’t help getting anxious. ”You mean if Huo Sining doesn’t call, Alden’s basically guaranteed to win, but if Ningning does call, it’s very likely this hand will decide everything?”

Li Jun nodded. ”If Ningning calls this hand and, after the reveal, her cards are weaker than Alden’s, then she’ll only have six million chips left. With six million, she can’t even afford to follow one full hand. She’d have no choice but to concede.”

Su Qingqing was panicked. ”Is there any chance Alden is just stealing the pot?”

Li Jun hesitated for a moment. ”It’s not impossible, but I think the odds are low. Alden wouldn’t dig a hole for himself to fall into. He must be very sure of himself to push in this many chips in one go. Otherwise he could easily leave himself ten million, so at least he’d still have a chance to come back.”

After hearing Li Jun’s analysis, Su Qingqing’s brows furrowed so tightly they could almost pinch a mosquito to death. In this situation, things were very unfavorable for Huo Sining. If she couldn’t clear her head and see through Alden’s scheme in time, and instead got hot-headed and followed him all in, that would be disastrous.

Su Qingqing was so anxious she kept stomping her feet, but Semiya’s earlier outburst had just earned the croupier’s yellow card warning, so she didn’t dare raise her voice to remind Huo Sining. She could only silently pray in her heart, hoping Huo Sining would make a quick decision and not fall for Alden’s trap.

”Don’t call, don’t call, don’t call...”

Su Qingqing muttered under her breath.

However, this time even the heavens weren’t on her side, because Huo Sining spoke up:

”My hole cards have been sitting here the whole time, and I don’t know what they are. But everyone who knows me knows that for years I’ve always been lucky. Whether it’s jade gambling or treasure appraisal, I always seem to bump into a lot of good fortune. So this time, I’m still willing to leave the decision to Heaven. You’re all in, I’ll join you. If I really lose, that can only mean that even Heaven doesn’t want me to take those two finale items off the black market, and I’ll have no complaints. Fifty-seven million—I’m all in too!”

Hearing this, Su Qingqing immediately had a bad feeling, and her face went pale. Over there, a flash of worry crossed Li Jun’s eyes, while the Semiya–Clayflo siblings’ eyes lit up. They exchanged a glance, each seeing the joy in the other’s gaze.

After saying that, Huo Sining didn’t even bother to count the chips in front of her. She simply shoved them all out in one go.

Clearly, she also knew that if she lost this hand, keeping that six million wouldn’t even be enough to play another hand, let alone stage a comeback.

The chips from both sides were now all stacked in the middle of the table—a total of 180 million US dollars in chips. If this were cash, it would definitely count as a high-stakes gamble. Forget people like Su Qingqing and Li Jun; even Alden, a Gambling King who had roamed Las Vegas for years, was staking this much on a single hand for the first time in his life.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the mountain of chips on the table, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

Adrian and Windsor Reed, who had been chirping nonstop on the way over, were now sitting quietly in chairs against the wall, equally wide-eyed and speechless.

Even Clayflo’s expression at this moment was extremely grave, filled with tension and excitement. He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the two players’ cards on the table, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Of everyone here, the calmest were probably Huo Sining and Gu Xu, the married couple.

From beginning to end, Gu Xu had never shown the slightest doubt about any of Huo Sining’s moves. He didn’t even frown when she went all in.

As for Huo Sining, there was even less to be said. For the past hour, she hadn’t so much as touched her cards, and the smile on her face had never faded, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
