Chapter 80 You Lost
“Ladies first.” Joseph gestured as he sat down.
Gwen casually picked up the dice cup, giving it a half–hearted shake on the table.
She seemed almost indifferent, with a delicate hand resting lightly on the lid as if she were merely playing around. “Alright, done.”
Joseph’s sly grin widened. Gwen didn’t seem serious at all. It was hard to tell if the dice had even moved under the cup. To him, it looked like she was setting herself up to lose.
The crowd watched in confusion, exchanging glances
That was it? Should there not be a dramatic shake or something to match the attention this moment had drawn? Did she even know how to play? There was no way she could win like that!
Despite Gwen being a woman, Joseph wasn’t about to hold back. The exclusive scoop about Simon was too valuable, and he was determined to win.
After a few moments of showing off, Joseph stood on his tiptoes to get a better angle at the table, shaking the dice for a few minutes,
When the crowd seemed on the brink of boredom, he slammed the cup down with dramatic flair.
He lifted the cup to reveal four fives.
Against a novice like Gwen, Joseph was sure that his set of quads would be unbeatable. Feeling smug, he thought to himself that he would win.
The crowd murmured in admiration, with someone giving him a thumbs–up. “Mr. White, that’s impressive! Rolling quads isn’t easy!”
Standing by Gwen’s side, Judy caught on to the growing smugness and let out a cold and mocking smile, To determine whether he’s impressive, we have to wait for Gwen to reveal her dice. Might be a little early to celebrate.”
Gwen was too relaxed to bother standing. She shot Judy a playful smile. “You do it for me, please.” Her casual demeanor made it seem like she was playing a game without a care in the world.
Judy–gently pushed the cup open, and to everyone’s shock, the dice showed four sixes.
Gwen leaned back against her chair, a dismissive smile on her lips. “Mr. White, it looks like you lost.”
Joseph stared in disbelief. Four sixes combination was the highest possible roll. How could this have happened?
The crowd’s eyes were on his, and there was no denying the result. Joseph was defeated and slumped back into his chair.
“Mr. White, it’s time to keep your promise to strip. Judy held a professional camera with multiple lenses stacked, her gaze turning sharp. “I’ll personally take the photos and write the story myself. Let’s make sure this hits the trending news.”
Joseph forced a sheepish smile. “Come on, Ms. Lambert. You’re kidding, right? Putting me on the trending news? That’s just a waste of money!”
“I love wasting money. Now, hurry up. Off with the clothes! Judy wasn’t in the mood for any further discussion.
Gwen glanced at Joseph’s body, wondering if anyone cared about such a news report.
“You lost the bet, Mr. White. It’s time to strip,” the crowd urged.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Joseph had no choice but to strip down completely, leaving nothing but his underwear to cover himself.
“It seems Ms. Lawson never gambles without being prepared. A lot of things probably weigh on your mind. “A strong and authoritative voice came from the back of the hall.
Everyone’s expressions changed immediately, and they hurried to make way.
Anthony, the CEO of Charles Group, had arrived. His reputation as a powerful and deeply connected man made him someone no one wanted to cross.
Realizing his daughter, Sienna, had meddled in Gwen’s marriage, the crowd fell silent. They were eager to see what would unfold next.
Anthony walked to the crowd. After his bodyguards shoved Joseph aside, he casually took a seat.
“Well, he let greed get the best of him. A little punishment isn’t too harsh.” Gwen was unfazed by Anthony’s piercing gaze. She had heard plenty about Anthony.
Anthony was the real power behind Charles Group, and long before she divorced Jake, he had orchestrated multiple situations to bring Jake and Sienna together. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Anthony had played a significant role in ruining her marriage.
“Ms. Lawson, if you’re so skilled at gambling, how about a round with me?” Anthony challenged.
“Why should I?” Gwen lifted her face condescendingly, disregarding Anthony completely. “What about is worth me betting on?”
Anthony’s expression darkened when he saw Gwen’s attitude, but he hid his anger well. “My daughter, Sienna, is currently under suspicion for injuring you. The rumors are spreading like wildfire online.”

Gwen couldn’t help but laugh. “You certainly know how to choose your words carefully, Mr. Charles. Is it just suspicion? Hasn’t Sienna already been convicted?”
Anthony slammed the table in a fury. “The matter hasn’t been settled yet!”
Judy’s voice was cold as she said, “You think you can silence the public so easily?”
“That depends on how you go about silencing them.” Anthony’s sharp eyes locked onto Gwen,
“If I win, I want you to hold a press conference to clear this all up. You’ll publicly admit that you were the
one who came between Sienna and Jake’s relationship, that you were the mistress all along. And you’ll strip and walk out of here naked for everyone to see.”
