It’s already hard enough to break even, Evander Lancaster’s eyes almost fell into the drawer as he hurriedly urged, "Hurry up, hurry up, while the second elder brother and the others are not here, make it quick!"
Nathan Moore took Titus Zane out for a bandage, although Titus kept saying it was unnecessary, Beatrice Hargrave followed too, not sure if she was just bored or looking for some excitement.
Felix Shaw glared at him and asked unhappily when his hand touched the chips, "How much did you lose?"
"One hundred and twenty-eight thousand!"
"Fine, I don’t want it anymore, I’ll ask Mia Foster another day." With a careless tone, it earned another unhappy glare from Felix Shaw. He lowered his gaze and fumbled in the drawer, then hurled a handful of chips in front of Evander Lancaster, "Here you go! Counted and exact! Not one less!"
Quickly stashed the chips into his drawer, afraid Felix might change his mind.
"Big bro, can’t you round it up for your brother?"
"No!" A crisp and decisive answer, Felix Shaw then looked towards Nicholas Croft.
"Big brother, how much did you lose?"
Although Nicholas Croft didn’t care about this amount of money, being able to pluck even a single down feather from a miser was good enough, he replied indifferently, "Twenty-two thousand."
While counting the chips, Felix Shaw disdainfully said to Evander Lancaster, "Look at big brother, how capable he is, lost only so little, now look at you!" Felix Shaw looked up and glared at him. "Lousy hand!"
Was losing money his choice?
Thought he’d shine at the gambling table after a disappointment in love, yet, damn, disappointed in everything!
It’s all because Mia Foster’s luck is too good!
But come to think of it, she had just been electrified by third brother, maybe that residual current was still lurking in her body.
No wonder they all lost money.
If he had known, he would have randomly picked a woman, charged her up with an hour of electricity before playing the cards, then thrown her on the table to help him win a couple hundred thousand, and he could take a month off to vacation abroad.
Evander Lancaster then pulled out another cigarette and placed it between his lips, moving closer before lighting it, his smile carrying no good intent, "Third brother, share with a bro, how many times a day with your wife?"
That day Felix Shaw complained to them, said that after getting with Mia Foster, she threw a stack of money at his face abroad calling it a whore’s—pay!
When this was brought up, Felix Shaw’s face turned green, almost made him die laughing.
Sleeping with his own wife and still gets a tip? That’s really an eye-opener.
Back then he also taunted jokingly, third brother, it’s hard to earn money these days, while your wife still thinks your skills are decent, consume more nourishing medicine, earn more tips, good for your own retirement savings too.
Speaking of this, Felix Shaw looked proud, also pulled out a cigarette, not forgetting to offer one to Nicholas Croft.
Although Nicholas Croft is the eldest among them, usually calm and gentle which suits his eldest brother’s role, but when Felix Shaw wanted to share his "happiness", he was willing to be a listener too.
Felix Shaw lit his cigarette, took a puff, his face shrouded in smoke beaming with satisfaction and pride.
"Not much, just twice."
"Twice? No way?" Evander Lancaster stared incredulously with his phoenix eyes, recalling, the first time Felix got with Elizabeth White, he even bragged with the brothers, seven times in one—night...
How come it has decreased to twice with the Main Palace, could it be he ruined his body from previous excesses?
Nicholas Croft also obviously paused, having intended to quietly listen while smoking, but upon hearing Felix’s words, he similarly raised his gaze, looking at him, even forgetting to draw on the cigarette he had placed at his lips.
Just to see Felix Shaw with his gaze immersed in reminiscence, even his usually carefree handsome face softened much.
"Mia... it’s her first experience, I can’t be too eager."
