Chapter 232 Switched Out And Impersonated

“Little lady, this place isn’t a playground. I suggest you be on your way, for your own good.”

“Exactly. How old are you, young Indy?”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn’s expression shifted, her stance defiant. “Hey, don’t underestimate me. Who said I can’t handle this?”

“Is that so?” the man known as Septimus responded, a hint of mystery playing upon his lips as he heard these words.

“Seriously, our bets start at a million here. Can you handle that?” The bystander’s tone was clearly condescending toward Madelyn.

“Why do you all assume I don’t have money?” Madelyn scoffed.

Then, she promptly placed all the chips in Josiah’s hand onto the table. “Mr. Septimus, I’ll bet all these chips against you. Do you dare to accept?”

Upon hearing these words, the people nearby were momentarily taken aback.

Then, unable to resist, they began to mock her, saying she truly had no sense of her own limitations.

Who didn’t know that Septimus was the undefeated legend of this casino? Since the establishment of the casino, Septimus had hardly ever lost.

He even established a particular rule – anyone who managed to beat him could instantly receive a reward of one hundred million.

For this very reason, countless individuals continually sought to challenge Septimus. However, up until now, not a single person had managed to secure a victory against him.

Yet, this audacious girl actually dared to challenge the King of Gambling? They wondered if she even had enough money to cover her losses.

“Madelyn, that man doesn’t look like an easy opponent. Are you sure about this?” Josiah expressed his doubts at that moment.

He had just overheard others referring to that man as the King of Gambling, so he feared the latter wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

In the end, Madelyn casually smiled. “Just wait and see, I won’t lose.”

Everyone instinctively dispersed.

The service staff quickly brought over a chair, placing it at the other end of the long table for Madelyn to sit on.

Madelyn didn’t show a hint of panic, easily took her seat, then looked across the long table at the man opposite her, revealing a provocative smile.

The man known as Septimus was actually not that old. He was extremely handsome, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. It was evident that he was likely a person of extraordinary stature.

Upon seeing Madelyn at that moment, he courteously offered a smile. However, his smile held a trace of disdain.

For a moment, the two merely stared at each other.

The silent tension filled the entire casino, causing many to halt their activities. They all flocked over to witness the unfolding spectacle.

“We will start dealing the cards now. As per the usual rules, the one with the highest hand wins,” the dealer declared at that moment.

In the interest of fairness, the dealer laid out all her cards for everyone to see, ensuring there were no discrepancies to be found.

Once everything was confirmed to be correct, the card dealing began.

After receiving a few cards in her hand, a smile tugged the corner of Madelyn’s mouth.

Observing her composed demeanor, Septimus was surprisingly slightly flustered.

In reality, this game of gambling was all about psychological tactics. He had been winning all night and had long since found it rather dull.

Surprisingly, the woman turned out to be even more composed than he was as soon as she showed up, which was somewhat unexpected.

Nevertheless, Septimus couldn’t help but smile, for as he flipped over his cards, it was a pair of Aces.

The Ace was the highest–ranking card in this game. His victory was without a doubt.

“Miss, I’ve won,” the man said, a subtle smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Many were secretly impressed, internally acknowledging that the King of Gambling truly lived up to his name! His luck was simply unparalleled.

To their surprise, Madelyn laughed lightly. “Really? Isn’t it too early to say that?”

After speaking, slender, elegant fingers drew two cards from the trio held in her hand.

At a leisurely pace, Madelyn placed the cards on the table and smiled nonchalantly. “I believe I’ve won.”

“What!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, immediately turning their gaze to the cards she had placed down.

As it turned out, Madelyn also held a pair of Aces in her hand! And they were even a pair of Spades Aces!

Meanwhile, Septimus had a pair of Hearts…

His expression froze as he clearly found it hard to believe.

He actually lost?

Who was this woman, really? She had actually managed to shatter his unbeaten record!

At that thought, Septimus couldn’t help but gaze deeply at Madelyn. Yet all he saw was Madelyn’s face beaming with a radiant smile.

Hmm, this woman she’s somewhat intriguing, isn’t she?

“Another round!” Septimus suddenly exclaimed.

Madelyn knew that he was not willing to admit defeat, but she wasn’t flustered. If he wanted to go again, she would oblige.

Madelyn lost the second round.

A triumphant smile tugged at the corners of the man’s mouth as he finally reclaimed his position as the King of Gambling.

Yet, this time, it was Madelyn who refused to admit defeat. “Let’s have another round!”

Victory went to Madelyn for this round.

Beside her, Josiah was watching Madelyn, utterly stupefied.

She’s totally a pro!

However, Septimus felt his pride had been severely damaged and demanded another go.

After roughly four or five rounds, Septimus had completely given up.

That was because he had never been able to best Madelyn again.

The scene suddenly erupted into chaos.

“Where on earth did this woman come from? She even managed to beat the King of Gambling!”

“Could she be a cheat?”

“That’s impossible. The cards were dealt by the casino’s dealer, so how could she have cheated? I suspect this woman has got some background.”

“I agree. How else could anyone have won against Mr. Septimus?”

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn was remarkably composed.

She had always been confident in her gambling skills. After all, when it came to gambling, maintaining a positive attitude was key. With the right mindset, good luck was sure to follow.

The reason those individuals who kept losing were in such a pitiful state was because they had the wrong attitude, and that was precisely why misfortune seemed to always find them.

Madelyn suddenly chuckled. “Hey, Mr. Septimus, I remember you have a rule that anyone who wins against you gets a hundred million. So, don’t forget to transfer that to me, okay?”

Meanwhile, Dracon and Tigra, who were hiding in the shadows, saw the situation unfold. Without delay, they reported back to Harriet.

“What? Gambling?” Harriet was shocked.

In her heart, she grew increasingly suspicious of Madelyn.

The Madelyn of the past was nothing like this. Back then, to call Madelyn a good–for–nothing wouldn’t have been an exaggeration.

But now, this woman had actually dared to venture into such a perilous place. Not only did she gamble there, but she even managed to beat the most renowned gambler in that area!

How was it possible that the useless Madelyn could accomplish such a thing?

At this thought, a shadow crossed Harriet’s eyes.

There’s an eighty percent chance that this Madelyn has been switched out with someone else!

However, Harriet decided not to disclose this matter to Sebastian.

The reason for that being Madelyn appeared to have no intentions of causing any harm to Sebastian, at least for now.

Before Madelyn did anything irreparable, Harriet silently swore to herself that she would definitely uncover the truth of the matter!

“Dracon, Tigra, keep your eyes on her. Report to me immediately if she makes any unexpected moves,” Harriet commanded in a serious tone.

“Affirmative!”

Upon receiving their orders, Dracon and Tigra immediately ended the call. Silently, they began to tail Madelyn.
