Chapter: 3583
Olivia suddenly understood and urgently asked, "Then how about Helena's wedding arrangements?"
Richard said, "Let's put it on hold for now. Look at Malakhov's timid appearance; even if you let him take Helena away, he wouldn't dare to do so."
Olivia gritted her teeth, unwillingly saying, "If Helena marries into the Yang family, won't she have the backing of Wanshou Manor?"
Richard consoled, "Let's not think about these things for now. Let's hurry and finish the wedding arrangements, then quickly get to work on ascending the throne. There's nothing more important than this! As for Helena, don't worry too much either. She herself is gravely ill, even if she marries into the Yang family with Wanshou Manor backing her up, she can only live for a few years at most."
Olivia heard this and finally showed some relaxation on her face.
However, she couldn't help but think of William's previous plan to ruin Lei Chen, and wanted to seek her father's opinion.
But then she thought again and felt that her father was being overly cautious about Lei Chen. If he knew, he would definitely not agree, so she didn't say any more.
Back at the dinner table, William whispered to her, "Olivia, should we still do what we agreed on?"
"Yes!" Olivia replied softly. "As long as you say that official is a good person and won't get caught, it's all right, no one will be afraid."
In Olivia's view, Wanshou Manor may be powerful, but it's not something that can do whatever it wants. If Lei Chen loses today, he'll have to accept defeat. Wanshou Manor is an mercenary organization, not an evil one. If they dare to intervene, it will naturally spark resistance from the entire society.
So, this time we absolutely cannot let Lei Chen go easily. At least, we need to keep that luxurious plane.
For these two people, such a top-notch luxury item is extremely alluring and impossible to match. Once their minds are set on something, they will not lightly dismiss it.
Indeed, just as the dinner party was almost over...
As soon as he heard this, Lei Chen's eyebrows slightly lifted and he thought to himself: "It's finally happening."
When someone mentioned playing poker, a few young people around the table got excited and one by one raised their hands. Someone chuckled and said, "Alright! How about playing two rounds of Texas Hold'em?"
"I'm in!"
"That counts me too!"
Before long, five people were raising their hands.
William deliberately didn't raise his hand at first, but waited until everyone else was eager to play before speaking up: "That counts me too, then."
After saying that, he glanced at Lei Chen, just plotting how to use some persuasive words to rope him in. But instead, Lei Chen spontaneously raised his hand and said, "I also really like Texas Hold'em, count me in!"
William was so thrilled he almost didn't get a chance to cheer out loud.
"I was just thinking of finding an opening, trying to naturally invite Lei Chen into the game. I never thought Lei Chen would take the initiative and jump right in. Perfect!"
"So, he pretended to be polite and said, 'I never thought Mr. Lei Chen would like playing Texas Hold'em, so why don't we all play two hands for entertainment?'"
Lei Chen also smiled warmly and said, 'Ha ha, William sir is right! Entertainment! I personally have no other hobbies except playing cards, although my skills are terrible, but I just love playing! On average, I lose about 2-3 billion per year.'"
William's heart was thrilled, but his mouth only smiled and said, 'It seems everyone is the same! I'm also very bad at cards, but I especially love playing! I'll lose a lot of money as tuition every year.'" JrNovels.com
