MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Paul smelled so bad that he couldn't admit it. "I'll never love this stupid woman."

Nancy looked at him in surprise and said, "You, you... Rat, so you love me?"

"Don't call me that!"

"Let's see, if you don't love this stupid girl, how could you give up everything and come to Huston from Kuerto and chase her down. Besides, when you caught her that night, and she tried to jump off a building, you slapped yourself ten times..."

"Shut up! "Paul felt it was the greatest humiliation of his life. "Don't ever talk about the past!"

He swung at Eric with his fists.

Eric's body swung sideways.

"If it wasn't for love, how could a man miss such a great opportunity?"

"Didn't you always want to get your power into Huston? Now is a great time. She's just a stupid woman. Without her, you can have any other beautiful woman you want."

Paul's thoughts snarled, and a burst of anger reached his throat.

He couldn't even explain his strange behavior recently.

He left the injured Michelle in Kuerto. Why did he come to Huston looking for Nancy?

"Crystal, what should I do? He's not really in love with me, is he?" Nancy said suddenly in a tearful voice.

"What are you doing that stupid face for?" Paul roared. "You have no shame. When did I say I love you?"

"If you don't love her, why don't you bet?" Crystal scoffed. "You still love beauty more important than property, right?"

"Is she a beauty? Come on."

Just then, a quarrel began to sound nearby.

A woman slapped her face on a man's face. "You said you loved me!" But now you're gonna bet me on it. You liar!"

"Honey, stop it. You know love isn't worth anything."

"Aren't you rich? Aren't you having lots of money? You still give a shit on this property?"

"This is half the country... If I'm lucky today, I'll bet on a few cities.

"Do you have any idea about this? If I am lucky today, I can gamble in several cities. The man hugged her shoulder and comforted her.

"We shall never have so much more."

"But you said you loved me!

"How about 50-50 for my bet?"

"No matter whether you win or lose, we are over, for sure." Said the woman firmly. "You make me sick."

Just as it was over, another woman picked up champagne and threw it in a man's face.

After hearing the rules of this bet, dozens of couples began to nest infighting just to compete for a PK quota.

"It's not like you're going to be chosen. It's just a chance. Why are you making such a fuss? I hate it when women cry."

Paul darkened his eyes. With the exception of Crystal and Eric, there were 18 couples, meaning Nancy had only a 1 in 18 chance of being chosen.

He glanced at Nancy, a woman who had taken on a "how could he love her" look. 

The sight of her made Paul furious.

Eric saw Paul was shaken and added, "If you don't love her, do what men do."

  "What are the rules of PK?"

"It's very simple. It depends on the points of the cards. Whoever gets the most points wins."

"What if I lose?"

Eric lit a cigarette, squinted, and chuckled. "If you lose, she's the property of the casino ship."

"What will happen to her?" 

Eric shrugged. "It's up to Mr. Garcia's decision  whether she ends up as a dealer or is won by some other guy who wants her."

"Mr. Garcia was the one we had the last dinner with?" Paul recalled.

"That's right."

Then Paul thought things got easier now. He could bet Nancy back with this old friendship.

Besides, it was a 1 in 18 chance of being chosen. Nancy wouldn't be the one with her bad luck.

Eric seemed to know what he was thinking, but he smiled without saying anything.

"Have you thought it through?"

Paul coldly took away Eric's cigarette and took it in his mouth.

"I'm in."

Crystal breathed. She didn't expect Paul to be so easily hooked. He probably never expected to be cheated by his best friend.

Paul looked at Nancy again. "Who do you think you are? Would I really fall in love with a stupid woman like you? Wake up. Your mind is filled with fantasy and unreality."

Nancy wrinkled her nose. That was right. If he loved her, how could he have abused her for four years?

"Gentlemen ready to pk, please bring your girl over here." Said the fiery bunny girl standing beside the dealer.

Soon, 18 couples were taking up positions around the machine.

Crystal and Eric stood at the nearby viewing area.

"Why bother? This is your place. You can just take Nancy back."

"Wouldn't it be better for him to let her go voluntarily? You want her to run away?"

Eric laughed.

In fact, based on his position, he would prefer Paul to admit his love for Nancy at this time.

In that case, the bet doesn't have to be made. Paul, Nancy, and Clark would be reunited. Paul would have been happier if he had known his heart.

It was just a pity that Paul, the ass, was so deep in the fog that he couldn't see himself.

"I know what you're thinking," Crystal said coldly. "At this point, you're still thinking about him."

"Can't you see that Paul has changed?"

Of course, Crystal saw it.

"So what? He's too late to repent. Nancy used to like him, but now she doesn't."

"If Paul had turned over a new leaf, she might not have fallen in love again."

"I hope not."

"Why? He's Clark's real father."

"He was a man who abused his wife and abused his son. Even if he did fall in love with Nancy, he wouldn't get any better. Besides, there are too many bad memories between them, which can never be erased."

Eric reached out and pinched her chin. "What about you and me? I don't seem to have any bad memories for you."

On the second floor, near a carved table in a VIP stand, a man sat sipping wine.

He had been sitting here for a long time, and he had seen Crystal the moment she entered.

His thin lips curled up. He did not expect to meet her just after parting from her.

At first, he thought it was just another hallucination coming from his thoughts until he saw Eric right behind her.

The bones of his fingers were white as he held the glass.. His eyes were cold.
