MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 16

Soon, they received two platinum membership cards at the cost of slightly over 300,000, which was deducted from Lucas’s gold and black card.

After being led to the top floor by the usher, Lucas dismissed him and walked toward the casino with Cheyenne.

Cheyenne felt the pinch of spending more than 300,000 on the two platinum membership cards. “The membership cards are too expensive. If I had known, I would have let my friend refer us. It’s not worth it to spend so much money on a membership card.”

Lucas smiled faintly. “It’s faster to get the membership this way, and it’ll allow us to find William sooner.”

There were rows of exquisitely crafted masks hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which were prepared for guests who wanted to play in the poker room but wished to keep their identity concealed.

Lucas took a random mask from the wall and put it on his face. The mask was enough to cover his entire face and revealed only his long and narrow eyes.

“Go to William later. I’ll look for you afterward according to plan.”

Lucas’s voice had changed significantly compared to usual, and he sounded like a completely different person.

Cheyenne looked at him in astonishment. If not for the fact that Lucas was standing right in front of her and talking to her, she probably wouldn’t have been able to tell who he was!

“Okay, go ahead. Quickly.” Lucas looked at Cheyenne’s dumbfounded expression in amusement.

Only then did Cheyenne snap back to her senses. “Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Then she turned around and entered the poker room.

As part of the top entertainment joint of the city, Little Atlantis City’s poker room was definitely extremely crowded and lively. There were hundreds of card tables of various designs lined up in the spacious hall, and there were plenty of people surrounding each table with their eyes glued onto them.

There were also many people wearing masks on their faces like Lucas.

It was Cheyenne’s first time being in such a place, so she was at a loss for what to do.

“Cheyenne, here!” A clear and tender voice belonging to a woman sounded near Cheyenne.

Cheyenne turned around and saw a fashionably dressed, youthful-looking woman standing at a table not far away. The woman was walking up to Cheyenne. She was none other than Cheyenne’s close friend Lena.

“Lena!” Cheyenne hurriedly walked over and gripped her hand. But before she could catch up with her with pleasantries, she anxiously asked, “Lena, where’s my father?”

“Come with me. He’s here.”

Lena took Cheyenne’s hand and walked with her through the gaps in the crowd all the way until they reached a table near the corner. She then pointed to one of the people at the table. “William is right there.”

Cheyenne looked in the direction Lena was pointing and saw a scruffy William, whose face was covered in stubble and hair was all unkempt and greasy. His clothes were crumpled and hanging loosely off his body as he stared at the cards laid out on the table, his gaze full of zeal and mania.

“Hahahaha, I finally got a good hand this time. Just you wait. I’ll definitely win this round!” He exclaimed delightedly with the cards in hand.

Seeing the way William was behaving, Cheyenne burst into tears, and she rushed forward to grab his arm. “Dad! You haven’t gone home for so many days. Have you been staying in this place?”

Upon seeing his daughter suddenly appear, William couldn’t help but feel guilty and flustered. “What are you doing here?”

“You didn’t come home, and I couldn’t reach you on your phone. It took me great lengths to come here and find you. Dad, stop gambling and come home with me!” Cheyenne begged miserably.

“I… I…” William didn’t want to go home at all, and he still had the good hand of cards that he had finally obtained. How could he be willing to just leave it behind and leave?

“William Carter, are you going to play or not? Hurry up! If you’re not interested, get lost quickly. We want to play!” A poker player next to him frowned and urged in displeasure.

“Of course I’m playing!” William hurriedly responded. Then he pushed away Cheyenne’s hand before pushing the pile of chips in front of him forward. “I’m going to increase my stake! Do you guys dare bet?”

“Dad, stop playing and come home with me!” Cheyenne became panicked and angry when she saw that her father was still obsessed with poker. She tried to grab the cards in his hand and throw them away.

“Get lost!” William pushed Cheyenne away hostilely and hollered fiercely, “Don’t disturb me! If you have anything to say, wait until I’m done!”

“I’ll follow suit!”

“Me too!”

Several other people at the table also threw out the chips in front of them and followed suit to raise their stakes.

“Okay, let’s turn our cards over!”

Everyone showed their cards.

“Hahaha. I win this game again! I win again!”

A chubby man wearing golden jewelry suddenly laughed out loud and collected all the chips on the table. He then mocked William loudly, “William Carter, you can’t make it anymore. You’ve already lost!”

William was extremely sullen, but there was nothing he could do except watch the chubby man take his chips away. He thought that his hand this time was good and that he could recoup his losses, but to his surprise, he lost.

“Dad, let’s go home…” Cheyenne once again tried to persuade.

Boiling with fury, William looked at Cheyenne beside him and immediately flew into a rage. He vented all his anger on her as he barked, “Damn it. I had a good hand, but you kept making so much noise while you were beside me. You made me lose all my good luck! Hurry up and get lost. Once I’ve won enough, I’ll go back. I don’t need you to urge me!”

Cheyenne was still a young woman in her twenties. After being yelled at mercilessly by William, she felt miserable and aggrieved. The tears in her eyes made her look even more beautiful.

The other players around the table looked over after hearing William’s scolding.

When they saw the gorgeous Cheyenne, their eyes were full of amazement.

Being a stunning beauty, Cheyenne’s presence among the poker players in the room was akin to a piece of fresh and tender meat suddenly appearing in the middle of a pack of hungry wolves. Many men even looked at her lustfully and lecherously.

“Hey, William Carter, is this your daughter? I couldn’t tell that you’d be able to have such a beautiful daughter!”

The chubby man decked out in gold jewelry stared at Cheyenne intently with a disgusting expression. “William Carter, you’ve just lost so many rounds, I bet you’ve lost all your capital, right? I’ll give you eighty grand to recoup your losses in exchange for two days with your daughter. How does that sound?”
