On the night before I'm set to officially marry Shawn Ford, he keeps losing to his godsister, Tiffany Lynch, at the poker table on purpose. "We're just playing for fun. Aren't we a family? Everyone here knows that Tiffany and I are as thick as thieves since young." Tiffany plays with a poker card absent-mindedly. "Surely you don't mind, right? Shawn told me that if I were to win this round, he'd give me the funds meant to renovate your marital home so that I can buy myself some bags." The other players begin to cheer on Tiffany at that moment. "Hell yeah! Tiffany is really lucky when it comes to poker! Joanna, there's no use saving that meager salary of yours. Why don't you just bet everything on the table to spice things up?" I don't bother speaking afterward. All I do is pull out a chair and sit across from Shawn. Then, I dig out a property deed from my bag. "You wanted to spice things up, right? I just bought this property at full price. Do you have the guts to put everything you have on the stake?"

Betrayed at the Table, I Cleaned Out My Fiancé Chapter 9
A man in a cheap, faded suit stood there, gaunt and haggard, holding up his auction paddle with trembling hands.It was Shawn.What was he even doing here?I hadn't seen him in six months, but he looked as if every drop of life had been drained from him. He had aged at least a decade.Rumor had it that he had taken a job as a delivery driver, but within days, he had gotten into a fight with a customer and was detained.His gaze was locked onto the diamond pendant on the auction block, his eyes burning with a feverish, desperate obsession.It was as if he believed that by buying it back, he could reclaim the woman I used to be—the one who had loved him with such blind devotion.The whispers around the room were like the persistent buzzing of flies. Those who recognized him didn't even bother to hide their sneers.I held my champagne flute, taking a composed, quiet sip.A real estate mogul leaned in beside me and asked ingratiatingly, "Ms. Simpson, would you like me to place a b

Shawn's lips began to tremble. It was as if his very bones had been hollowed out, leaving him swaying on the verge of collapse. He stuttered, "You… You mean…""Exactly." I shattered the last of his delusions. "That career you're so proud of? Your talent? Your achievements?"I sneered. "They're nothing more than a mirage I built for you with my money. If I can put you on that pedestal, I can just as easily send you crashing back to hell."I leaned in close, my voice dropping to a low whisper meant only for him."Did you really think you were some rare talent just waiting for your big break? Don't be foolish. You were just a fish I kept in a tank, something I toyed with when I felt like it," I taunted."But now? I'm done playing. So I drained the water. Look at you—without me, you can't even catch your breath.""Ah—"He couldn't form a complete word. A raw, animal-like wail forced its way out of his throat.The blow was too much for him to bear. He staggered back two steps and fe

I twirled a pen between my fingers, watching the endless stream of traffic through the floor-to-ceiling windows."Let him kneel," I said coldly. "If he passes out, call an ambulance. Deduct the medical bills from whatever meager allowance he has left. He looks sturdy enough to me, though. He should be able to last until the rain starts."As expected, Shawn knelt downstairs for the entire day.It was rush hour, and the crowd stood three rows deep. But he didn't seem to care about the humiliation, sobbing and wailing as he begged for forgiveness."Joanna, I was wrong! I shouldn't have broken your heart for another woman!"He kept begging, "Please, give me one more chance! I can't live without you!"In that moment, he played the part of a devoted lover perfectly.If only I didn't know that he had tried to siphon off the last of his secret rainy-day fund just ten minutes earlier.I stood by the window, staring down at that tiny, pathetic figure without feeling a single flicker of e

"It's filthy," I said, casting a look of pure disdain at Tiffany. "But it's fine. With a thorough scrubbing, I can still hang onto it."Tiffany was slumped on the floor, her makeup a smeared mess of tears. "Joanna… no, Ms. Simpson, I was wrong," she choked out.She scrambled toward me, trying to grab my legs."I'll give the house and the necklace back," she begged. "Please, just let me keep the condo. That's all I have left. I'll die without it."I took a step back, dodging her reach as if avoiding a pile of rotting trash."When you were snatching my bracelet earlier, did you stop to think that was all I had?"I leaned in closer. "And when you asked for five thousand dollars for renovations, did you ever consider that money was earned through my blood, sweat, and endless overtime?"I looked down at her coldly. "Everyone eventually has to pay the price for their own greed. Consider the house your tuition for this little life lesson, though clearly, it's a price you can't afford."

Tiffany was also clearly one card away from winning, her eyes fixed intently on the table.It was Shawn's turn to draw.He drew a card and ran his thumb over its face for a long moment. His gaze drifted between Tiffany and me.I knew exactly what he was holding. It was the Two of Spades.I also

The room fell dead silent.Shawn Ford's hand trembled visibly as he held his cigarette, sending gray ash flying onto his designer trousers.Tiffany Lynch's eyes gleamed with naked greed as they locked onto the deed."Joanna, have you lost your mind? That's a 20-million-dollar property," she gaspe

Shawn's company had just gotten off the ground. While it held some promise, it was a mere drop in the bucket compared to Simpson Group's empire. The difference between them was like night and day.If he won this hand, he would rise to the top in one fell swoop, becoming an overnight tycoon.As for

"Thanks for the charity, Joanna," Tiffany purred. "That place is in a prime location. My current place is just a lease anyway. I'll move in next month."Shawn leaned back in his chair, his tone carrying the air of someone scolding a misbehaving child."That's enough, Joanna. You lost. Take it like
