The Amazing son in law Chapter 591
Hannah was already aware that Zeke was the one who had gifted Charlie the villa at Thompson First.
This knowledge meant that if Hannah wanted to claim the villa from Elaine, she would need to push her to the edge.
Hannah understood that Charlie would not simply stand by if Elaine acted irrationally.
In that scenario, she would finally have her chance to take control of the villa.
Hannah then proposed to Elaine, “You’ve already lost a significant amount of money. It’ll be challenging to recover your losses if we keep betting just ten thousand dollars. Why not increase the stakes? Let’s raise it to fifty thousand dollars! You have enough resources with the villa to cover your losses, and if you win, you could easily recoup everything in just two games!”
At this point, Elaine was so overwhelmed by her losses that all she wanted was to reclaim her money. Without hesitation, she agreed, exclaiming, “Alright! Let’s bet fifty thousand dollars instead!”
Linda interjected, “But you don’t actually have the deed to the villa, correct?”
Elaine responded, “That doesn’t matter at all. The villa is my son-in-law’s, and anything he owns is mine too!” This text is hosted at find⸺novel.net
Linda shook her head, saying, “I can’t possibly lend you money for a mortgage without the house deed. It’s just too risky for me.”
Then, Linda raised five fingers and suggested, “How about you sign an agreement to mortgage the villa to me instead? I can lend you a total of fifty million dollars. I’ll give you five million upfront, and then transfer another five million each time you lose everything.”
Elaine nodded and declared, “Alright, I’ll mortgage the villa to you for fifty million dollars! That should be more than enough for me to win back my money!”
Linda smiled slightly and said, “Great! We can continue the game once we have the agreement signed.”
Elaine quickly signed the document, putting Villa A05 at Thompson First as collateral for fifty million dollars without any hesitation. Shortly after, Linda transferred five million dollars to her account.
However, just a few rounds later, Elaine lost five million dollars once again!
Linda, maintaining her composure, reassured her, “Don’t worry. You still have forty-five million left. I’ll transfer another five million now!”
Linda promptly sent the five million dollars she had just recovered back to Elaine’s bank account.
As the game continued, Elaine lost the second five million dollars in quick succession.
At this point, Elaine felt as if she were on the verge of collapse.
In a matter of moments, she had drained her savings of over two million dollars and lost her home, not to mention the ten million dollars she lost after mortgaging Charlie’s villa at Thompson First…
Gambling creates a psychological abyss. Once someone falls into it, escaping becomes a monumental challenge. Instead, they find themselves increasingly consumed by its depths.
This is why many gambling addicts struggle to regain control of their lives; they often lose all grip on their own mindset.
Elaine was no different.
She had invested everything she had into this game, driven by the desperate need to continue gambling in hopes of winning back her losses.
Yet, winning in a meticulously orchestrated game was an impossible feat. She was merely a lamb being repeatedly slaughtered, with no chance for a comeback.
Five million dollars vanished, one after another.
