NovelStartChapter 303: But the more he tried to calm her down, the more she cried.
"I'm upset, and I want to cry. Why can't I do whatever I want?" Norton ran a hand through his hair in frustration, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over him as he watched her cry.
"And when your wife is upset, you don't even stand by her, but side with another woman. I'm telling Edmond tomorrow." This time, Norton was utterly defeated. To calm Yvonne down, he hurriedly fixed her card and promised her, saying, "If you lose, I'll drink all the liquor for you." Hearing this, Yvonne stopped crying and quickly wiped her tears away. Then, she flashed a bright smile, her face glowing with cheer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTracy felt utterly speechless. She was genuinely impressed. Yvonne's ability to flip between emotions was even more impressive than her own, switching from tears to laughter in an instant.
But Tracy was done with it. She no longer cared about the theatrics. All she wanted now was to win. It was the only way she could crush Rachel once and for all.
"Your card is torn. Are you still sure you want to go up against me?" Tracy's voice held a touch of challenge. Yvonne grinned widely. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? And you remember what was said earlier. If I lose, someone will drink for me. But you? Mr. White's already had to drink for you twice. If you lose again, you're drinking yourself. And this time, it's six glasses. You should think about that carefully. If you end up drinking so much that you hurt yourself, don't blus." Yvonne wasn't one to back down easily, and she responded boldly to Tracy's taunt.
Tracy's hand shook slightly, a reflection of her racing heart. Earlier, Yvonne had used this exact strategy to make her back down without a fight. But this time, Tracy wasn't going to fall for it again.
"Of course, if I lose, I'll stick to the rules. Now, let's see your card," Tracy said with extra confidence.

Rachel's face remained calm. "Sure."
Yvonne's voice was playful as she asked, "Tracy Haynes, you're so sure of yourself Not backing down this time?"
"Of course not. I'll finish what I started. I'll count to three, and then we all reveal at once." The moment she finished counting, Brian, Tracy, and Rachel revealed their cards at the stime.
