    ine’s eyes lit up with excitement!


    After Summer left the country, ine had been anxious about finding an easy target for her games. Thankfully, Hannah hade through for her!


    ine was confident that this new target was wealthier than Summer. While she had only managed to win a few thousand from Summer, thisdy had lost ten times that amount in just one day!


    ine thrived on ying mahjong against people with deep pockets butcking in skills. It was a chance for her to make a small fortune!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    If she teamed up with Hannah and they devised some secret signals, their victory would be assured!


    This thought filled her with joy and anticipation!<fn47d9> Follow current nov?ls on FιndNovel</fn47d9>


    Money was everything to ine; she would even choose it over her parents!


    She was practically bouncing in her seat as she listened to Hannah’s n!


    Noticing ine’s eagerness, Hannah quickly whispered, “Let’s practice our secret signals first. At the table, we’ll read each other’s gestures. We’ll touch our noses to signal for dots, point our fingers for bamboo, and purse our lips for characters. Together, we can win big!”


    ine enthusiastically agreed, saying, “Alright then! Let’s y with your friends and see how it goes!”


    With a wide grin, Hannah replied, “Deal! Just so you know, she’s very wealthy. She lives in a Thompson First vi. When shall we go?”


    “Let’s head out right now! I’ll drive us in my BMW!”


    As they got into the car, Hannah couldn’t help but smirk coldly at ine’s eager demeanor.


    To set a trap for ine, Hannah had hired two con artists and spent generously to rent the vi at Thompson First. Her n was straightforward: to win all of ine’s money and assets, leaving her with nothing!


    Unbeknownst to ine, she was walking straight into the trap, consumed by the thrill of outsmarting the supposed easy target.


    Meanwhile, as ine and Hannah made their way to Thompson First, Charlie and Jacob arrived at Jacob’s alma mater, Bell Height University.


    Charlie was taken aback by the grand entrance gate, beautifully carved in white marble, with the school’s name proudly disyed—National Bell Height University.


    He never imagined that his father-inw, who always seemed so inept, had graduated from such a prestigious institution!


    Back in Jacob’s day, university students were a rarity, especially from a renowned university like this one.


    Noticing Charlie’s astonished expression, Jacob sighed and asked, “What? You think I don’t look like a college graduate?”


    Charlie nodded, still in disbelief. “Dad, you really don’t seem like someone who graduated from college…”


    With another sigh, Jacob’s face lit up with pride. “I was quite popr back then, you know! My grades were excellent. I could have pursued further studies up north, but I didn’t want to be too far from home.”


    Charlie chuckled, intrigued. “So what happened afterward? Why did you be a househusband after graduating from such a prestigious school?”


    Charlie found it amusing that his father, a university graduate and the second son of a wealthy family, had turned into a man who faced daily scoldings from his wife.


    Jacob hesitated and mumbled bashfully, “Well… I’d rather not get into it. It’s a tale of nothing but bitter tears…”


    Just then, a man around Jacob’s age emerged from behind the gate and rushed toward them upon spotting them.


    “Hey, Jacob! Long time no see! Wow, look at you, so smart and charming…”
