Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1891: Chapter 1794: Flower’s Glory Does Not Last a Hundred Days

The last chip wasn’t enough, so naturally this round was counted as Huo Sining’s win.

Semiya didn’t just lose ninety-three million in cash to Huo Sining, she also lost a priority purchase right for black-market antiques. This wager could only be called a crushing defeat.

Huo Sining actually felt like sympathizing with this little Princess. Seeing Semiya looking so dejected, she really couldn’t bear it, so she opened her mouth and said:

”Semiya, let’s call it a day. If you feel you didn’t have your fun today, you’re welcome to come back anytime for a rematch. You can even find someone else to bet in your place, I won’t mind.”

Hearing what Huo Sining said, even the bar owner over there couldn’t help but chime in:

”Yeah, miss, your luck’s a bit off today, you should quit while you’re ahead. You can always gamble with Miss Huo next time, it’s the same. Or you can let young master bet against Miss Huo for you.”

Thinking about how in less than an hour his young miss had lost nearly a hundred million, the bar owner felt his heart pounding in fear, knowing the time for him to pack up and get kicked back home was probably not far away. But he still couldn’t stop himself from trying to persuade her.

Even Windsor Caesar spoke up: ”You should at least talk to your brother first. With this kind of reckless behavior, I’m sure with your brother’s temper, he’ll definitely put you under house arrest.”

Semiya had originally been calmed down somewhat by Huo Sining and the bar owner’s words, had even decided to admit defeat to Huo Sining. But the moment Windsor Caesar finished speaking, her expression instantly darkened.

As expected, in Windsor Caesar’s eyes she was just that useless, not worth even half a finger compared to that woman. Thinking of this, Semiya suddenly got angry, and glared at Huo Sining, shouting:

”Win some money and you want to leave? Are you Huaxia people all this lacking in gambling etiquette? Let me tell you, today’s wager between us is not over yet. Don’t get cocky. Today you either win all my money or we keep gambling. If you want to leave, it won’t be that easy!”

In Semiya’s eyes, Windsor Caesar and Huo Sining were in cahoots. The two of them saying such high-sounding things, who knew how they were laughing at her in their hearts! So she just had to go against them, she just couldn’t let the two of them get what they wanted.

Huo Sining could see it clearly now: Semiya was completely blinded by rage. If Windsor Caesar hadn’t opened his mouth just now, this girl might not have gone so crazy. But Caesar just had to speak at the worst possible time, and in this girl’s ears that was like pouring oil on the flames, instantly blowing her up.

Huo Sining was honestly speechless. Even though she knew full well Windsor Caesar said that for Semiya’s sake, she still couldn’t help shooting an exasperated glare at Caesar, who looked all innocent over there.

Heaven knew, right now she was exactly like some final boss villain in a movie, while Semiya was that heroine who gets crushed so hard by the villain in the beginning she can’t even lift her head.

Huo Sining wailed silently in her heart, but she also knew very well that in a situation like this, you must never try to reason with a gambler. They simply won’t listen, always clinging to some vague, illusory hope that they can make a comeback in the next round and win back everything they lost.

”Semiya, if you can put up chips, I don’t mind keeping you company. Gamble as long as you want, I’ll stay with you to the end. But I have to remind you of one thing: there’s no money left in your account now.”

Huo Sining could only try to remind Semiya, starting from the money angle, hinting that she should stop.

But what Huo Sining never expected was that instead of working, her words actually seemed to remind Semiya of something. Semiya abruptly lifted her head and said to Huo Sining:

”Who said I’m out of money? Alberta, go to my villa and bring that box from my study!”

At first the bar owner didn’t even understand which box Semiya meant. He froze for a few seconds before reacting, and once he did, his face instantly changed.

”This... Miss, how can that be? If the young master finds out, he’ll skin me alive. That really won’t do. Just let it go for today, miss. Flowers don’t stay red for a hundred days, and there are no permanent winners in gambling. You can compete with Miss Huo again some other time. But the stuff in that box, you absolutely can’t touch it, that’s—”

Only, before he could finish, Semiya’s face turned cold, and she swung her gloomy gaze back to glare at Alberta:

”What, now even you won’t listen to me, and dare to lecture me? What the hell do you count as, that you dare question me?”

The bar owner looked like he’d been with Semiya for many years. Clearly he knew what it meant when Semiya brought up that box, which was why he wanted to talk her out of it. But now Semiya obviously didn’t care about saving face anymore—whoever tried to persuade her was declaring themselves her enemy.

When Windsor Caesar spoke to her earlier, that was because his status was equal to hers, and he was also the man she liked, so she didn’t snap back at him. But now even the bar owner dared to lecture her. In Semiya’s eyes, that was getting too big for his boots, a servant trying to step on his master’s head. She already had a belly full of anger, and now the bar owner had poked a hornet’s nest, so of course Semiya turned on him and started cursing.

The bar owner looked to be around forty or fifty, and he’d been by Semiya’s side for more than twenty years. From the time she was still a clueless child, he’d been serving at her side, basically half an elder. Usually Semiya treated him with some respect, and he loved her like a daughter.

Now Semiya, not caring about face, was actually needling and even berating him in front of so many people. Alberta’s face flushed bright red at once, a mix of shame and anger and ”hate that iron won’t turn into steel.” He wanted to argue back, but in the end he just stamped his foot, let out a long sigh, turned around, and went out to fetch the box for Semiya.

Huo Sining had thought that once money was mentioned, Semiya would be forced to stop. Who knew this woman would actually send her subordinate to go get a box.

Huo Sining was baffled. Instinctively she exchanged a look with Gu Xu, Windsor Caesar and the others.

What box exactly was Semiya having Alberta fetch? Could it be cash? No way. Did her family really stash several tens of millions in cash at home in a box?

At that possibility, Huo Sining’s mouth couldn’t help forming an O.

But that didn’t seem right either. When she thought it over, it just didn’t make sense. Cash wasn’t like other things—never mind ten million, even three to five million in banknotes would require a pretty big box to hold.
