The first card was the Jack of Hearts, the second was the Jack of Spades, and the third was the five of Diamonds—a pair of Jacks.
Vera looked at her hand and then at Kris Cooper's face, trying to read him but finding no clues.
Her cards weren't exactly low, but... she didn't want to risk losing. If she lost, these five hundred USD would be gone.
She casually tossed the cards on the table.
"The first round doesn't count. I fold!"
Kris Cooper frowned in annoyance. That stubborn girl! He had deliberately let her win, and she still refused.
When she was out in the backyard, he had already arranged the first few hands. To prevent her from noticing, he had deliberately avoided any particularly high cards, just so she could win more naturally. Who would have thought she'd pull a stunt like this?
Seeing his furrowed brow, Vera felt a surge of relief.
Hmph, he must have had high cards. Good thing I didn't bet.
