Gavin tried to talk sense into Georgie. "Mr. Tate, don't fall for her trick. The Golden District land is priceless, staking it is way too risky."
Arielle shot them a disdainful glance, her eyes laced with subtle mockery.
"I thought the son of the Tate family could do anything he wanted. Turns out you're just all talk," Arielle sneered.
With that, she turned as if to leave.
"Stop right there! Who says I can't do it?" Georgie's competitive spirit was instantly ignited.
He scoffed inwardly, 'It's just a piece of land. Money? That's the least of my problems. There's nothing I can't do.'
He said, "This land is mine now. Whatever terms you want, take it up with my dad."
Georgie's words piqued Gavin's interest. after all, the Boone family had always been eager to expand their business overseas.
Getting in with the Tate family would bring undeniable advantages.
With the Tate family as their backers, expanding abroad would be a breeze.
Gavin thought to himself, 'As for why Arielle suddenly wanted to use Golden District as the wager, maybe it was just on a whim. From the way she hesitated earlier, it didn't seem premeditated. She was probably just trying to compete with Georgie.'
With this in mind, Gavin readily agreed, this was a deal the Boone family couldn't lose.
'Got him,' Arielle thought with satisfaction as she watched the fish take the bait.
'Now to make sure the Tate and Boone families' deal falls through,' Arielle thought.
Knowing that Gavin also enjoyed card games, Arielle casually added with a sly smile, "If any of your friends are into cards too, why not bring them in? Let's see whose stakes are the most tempting. Who knows, Mr. Tate, you might just reconsider."
At Arielle's reminder, the thrill-seeking Georgie snapped his fingers in excitement.
"Damn right! How could I not have thought of that? Why settle for beating just you when I can take on everyone at once?" He grinned smugly, clearly relishing the idea.
Then he clapped Gavin on the shoulder. "Gavin, join the game! If you win, name your terms, anything goes."
Gavin hesitated. 'No way I can beat Georgie,' he thought, 'but Arielle? That's an easy win.'
Gavin gave a light chuckle. "Since Mr. Tate has invited me, I can hardly refuse. However..."
He paused, then shifted the topic. "Everyone knows your gambling skills are second to none. That puts the rest of us at quite a disadvantage. So, our stakes must be open and transparent, just to keep things fair."
Gavin glared at Arielle, baffled by her audacity to challenge Georgie to a card game.
He thought, 'She'll lose miserably.
'I might not be able to beat Georgie, but crushing her? That'll be a piece of cake.
'Someone from the slums thinks she knows the first thing about cards?
'What a joke.
'This is the perfect chance to teach her a lesson, let her see what happens to anyone who dares cross the Boone family.'
Georgie raised an eyebrow arrogantly, thinking, "No matter what stakes are on the table, I can cover them all, and honestly, I couldn't care less. With my gambling skills, losing isn't even in the cards."
After all, his skills spoke for themselves.
Georgie shrugged nonchalantly. "My stake is the Golden District land. If you can beat me, Gavin, the land is yours, simple as that."
Only after he spoke did Georgie realize the land wasn't technically his yet. He clapped Gavin on the shoulder with a careless grin.
"We'll handle the transfer after the game. I'm buying this land, name your price," Georgie said confidently.
Gavin knew the land was priceless, but compared to overseas expansion, he valued long-term gains more.
"I want a promise from Mr. Tate," Gavin said, without spelling it out, they both understood exactly what was at stake.
He wasn't worried Georgie would go back on his word. a man of his stature valued his promise above all else.
The two men were so engrossed in their heated debate that Arielle was completely sidelined.
In their minds, she was nothing more than a bystander, hardly worth a second thought.
To them, this match was simply a showdown between the two of them.
Meredith tugged timidly at Gavin's sleeve, her face etched with anxiety.
In a soft, delicate voice, she pleaded, "My sister doesn't know the first thing about cards. Please, just let her off, okay?"
Arielle shot them a disdainful glance, her eyes laced with subtle mockery.
"I thought the son of the Tate family could do anything he wanted. Turns out you're just all talk," Arielle sneered.
