Chapter 1032
Thus, Genevieve, Eurydice, Sally, and Rebecca sat down for a game of poker. There were separate cubicles in the
card room, which provided the players with a quiet, enclosed environment for their game.
After the four of them entered one of the cubicles, they rolled a dice to determine who would go first.
Since Genevieve had purposely challenged Eurydice earlier, the latter showed no mercy after the game started and
won Genevieve in the first round in less than two minutes.
It was a direct, overwhelming victory.
Genevieve calmly placed her cards down to get ready for a second round before smiling. “You're good at this, Ms.
Gaudette.”
“Oh, you flatter me. I'm just lucky.” Eurydice smiled amicably.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly changed for no obvious reason.
It was merely a game of poker, but it was as if the table had become a gruesome battleground with weapons
clashing continuously against one another. Eurydice and Genevieve were the only ones engaged in the battle,

Sally and Rebecca had seemingly become the backdrop as they sat aside, watching the silent war between the two
other women.
As Sally leaned back against the chair and casually placed bets, a cold glint flickered in her pretty eyes. She then
discreetly turned on her phone and recorded a short video before sending it to Cooper.
While the cards were being shuffled, she received a message from Cooper that read: How did Eurydice offend
Genev?
Sally replied: I have no idea, but Genevieve seems to despise Eurydice. They turned a card game of four players
into a one-on-one battle. Is she good at poker?
Both Sally and Eurydice were daughters of high-ranking officials. Though they weren't close, they once attended a
gathering with their parents and met each other at the venue. They had played a few rounds of poker with each
other.
Sally was well aware that although Genevieve and Eurydice's skills seemed on par, Eurydice hadn't even unleashed
half of her true capability yet.
Genevieve was the one who challenged Eurydice to a game. If Genevieve were to lose...
Sally didn't want Genevieve to make a fool out of herself since the latter was Cooper's sister.
Cooper had a hunch about Sally's intention and responded: She doesn't need your help. Instead, I hope she'll show
Eurydice some mercy.
Sally lifted her head to glance at Genevieve after reading Cooper's message.
Would Eurydice be defeated by Genevieve?
Meanwhile, as the game went on, Eurydice began chatting with Genevieve, “Ms. Rachford, I know that Mr. Sutton of
Specter Corporation is your brother.”
Genevieve arched an eyebrow, silently waiting for the rest of her sentence.
With a faint smile, Eurydice continued, “Since you and Mr. Faulkner are a couple, you should be more careful. You
know what the higher-ups feel about the collusion between government officials and entrepreneurs.”
“I don't have anything I should be careful of.” Genevieve stuffed a cubed pineapple into her mouth and chewed on
it. “My family's business is legal and reasonable. We also never evade tax. What do you mean by the collusion
between government officials and entrepreneurs? Do you think the development of a city depends solely on the
government?”
Flashing a smile, she went on, “The government just provided some preferential policies to attract the attention of

job opportunities to locals and the high-income positions that attract talents from other regions, the city would
never be able to develop with only the help of the government. The GDP won't be as high, too. It's difficult to avoid
collusion between the government and merchants when both parties are working closely together.”
As Genevieve finished her sentence, she looked at Eurydice, who was sitting across from her. “Don't you think so?”
Eurydice presented her card hand without a change of expression. “You're quite knowledgeable, Ms. Rachford.”
“Royal Flush.” Genevieve placed her cards down and smiled. “I often go to my family's company and attend the
meetings, so it's no surprise that I know all these. It goes without saying that I know what you're trying to imply, Ms.
Gaudette. You're afraid that my brother will make use of my boyfriend's connections. What's the big deal about
that? Do you think everyone is a fool?
Everybody knows all too well how most government employees get their positions.”
After pushing her hand of cards toward the middle of the table, Genevieve speared another piece of pineapple with
her fork. “No offense, but Ms. Gaudette, you're able to enjoy so many conveniences only because of your status. It's
not hard to admit that you're wealthier and more privileged than the average person.”
A momentary pause later, she curled her lips and continued, “On the one hand, you're enjoying your luxurious life,
but on the other, you're ridiculing others for utilizing connections, thus polluting the system. Don't you think you're
having double standards?”
