Chapter 291
Arthur proceeded to take out another handful of chips from his other pocket, and another from the
pockets of his trousers. He even had a pile of chips in his undershirt pocket.
Stella watched as Arthur pulled out chip after chip from his pockets like a cartoon character until a small
mountain of chips was piled up in front of them.
Stella was stunned and looked at Keegan, who was unfazed. “I told you, his luck is not too bad.
‘Not too bad? It looked like he hadn’t lost a game for the whole afternoon!” Stella screamed internally.
After tipping the dealer and paying for other surcharges, the chips had added up to a little over one
million and seven hundred thousand dollars.
Stella suddenly felt jealous, as the amount was more than what she earned from acting. ‘If I had known, I

Stella was interested in Arthur’s technique of winning money from gambling. She kept asking him about
how he guessed correctly every single round.
Arthur told her wisely, “Young people should be more grounded. Don’t think about earning. money using

“But, why do you gamble yourself?”
Arthur replied solemnly, “I’m just an old man. It’s not a big deal if I lose. I have a few plots of good land at

Stella turned her head to Keegan and whispered, “Do you think he cheated?”
“Maybe,” Keegan nodded.
“What do we do?”
Keegan glanced at Stella. “Tell the dealer about it, and ask him to check the security cameras. If all else
fails, we hand great-grandpa in ourselves. At his age, he won’t be locked up for long. They would release
him in a few days.
Stella stifled a smile. “You think I’m crazy?”

meantime, Stella was surrounded by the wives of those business partners and
was forced to socialize with them.
Since the jewelry exhibition, the news about Cordelia favoring Stella had spread among the wives. That
was why when Stella made an appearance, no matter what they thought of her, they were still quite
friendly toward Stella.
Even so, this was not the same type of friendliness they had toward Bella.
Toward Stella, it had undertones of prudent flattering; toward Bella, it was more out of curiosity, like how
people would gather to look at a monkey that had accidentally made its way into the crowd.
Stella clutched onto her wine glass, and she looked unhappy.
Then, one of the wives spoke to her. “Mrs. Kane, your performance in the mini-series a while ago was
fantastic! What made you want to act in it?”
