Novel & Cerita Cheat Seed

She smiles in her toffee accent. The dealer nods to me. Huh, me? Oh crap. “Okay.” I smile as I pretend to know what the hell I’m doing. Umm. I nervously look around at the numbers. What the heck number should I pick? “Umm.” The table all wait for my answer. Oh shit. “Ten, please,” I announce. My heart starts to race and I watch the wheel spin around and around until, unbelievably, it lands on ten. “You win.” The dealer smiles.

"Oh, right. You said high-society marriages are just business deals. That keeping a young mistress is normal. "So let's say, for argument's sake, I did cheat. Scott broke our vows first. That would just make me a woman who knows how to play by the rules." I took a step to the side, just enough to dodge Joel's hand reaching for mine. "Besides—" My voice stayed even. "You've all been dying to know who really owns Vespera since the buyout, right?" Joel's head snapped toward me. The cold night air bit at my skin as I met his stare, my voice quiet but detached.

I asked, my voice steadier now. "First, we need to undermine their trust in each other," Cassandra said, her eyes gleaming with a cold, calculating light. "Plant seeds of doubt, make them question each other's motives. We can start small, with little things that will grow over time." I nodded, feeling a flash of hope. It was a plan, a method to strike back without losing my composure. "And what about Kylo? How do I make him see that I'm the one for him, not Varya?"

“Since everyone is here, I would like to share some good news. “My wife is two months pregnant! The Whitmore family is about to welcome an heir.” A chorus of thunderous applause, accompanied by congratulations, erupted. Meanwhile, I could feel my hands and feet trembling and freezing. I felt dizzy and had trouble breathing. Two months. Alice had been pregnant for roughly two months as well. Everything made sense. He was going to use me to legitimize his bastard child with Alice. “Are you insane?!” I gritted my teeth and whispered to him, “Why should I be the mother of that bastard?”

Inside was a single, glowing silver seed. "What the hell is that?" Kaelor asked, peering over his shoulder. "The Seed of the World-Tree. It’s a biological computer, Kaelor. It can manage the planet’s water and soil without needing a human host. It was his backup plan. He knew he was going crazy."

Ethan became a headless chicken as he sputtered uselessly, "H-Honey, I can explain." My voice turned ice cold as I hissed, "Explain what? That the video is fake? Or that the fact that you're cheating on me is just a lie?" Ethan opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He looked like prey that'd gotten its throat stepped on by a predator, me. The captain shot me a sympathetic look. "Ms. Bender, this has nothing to do with you. You're free to go." I nodded, picked up my purse, and sauntered away.

I scoffed, “of course you know, because you're one of them!" Then Kevin tried to approach me again. “Believe it or not, Audrey, I've changed," he said. "I wouldn't have been helping you if I was still the jerk you knew." "Really?" I sneered. "How do I know you're telling me the truth?" "When you get home," Kevin replied, "check the company's authorization code for the translation with the British company, and you'll see that it ends with triple Ts." "Triple Ts?" I asked, puzzled. What does it mean?"

The players all turned to stare at Nova and Luke, who were lying off to the side, injured. "Wow, that's a genius way to cheat. If we weren't experiencing this in person, who'd have thought a horror game could be used in this way?" "So it's because you two cheated in the game that Mr. Hale filed for divorce. You two cheaters are gross." "Poor Landon. He washed that slip dress for his wife, and she turned it into sex-play for someone else."

Meanwhile, I had never once been seen wearing anything of real value. Next, they uncovered that Jace wasn't even my biological brother. He was the son of my mother and the man she cheated on my father with. After that man died, my father had graciously adopted Jace and even gave his life trying to save him. Jace was a bastard through and through. Erica wasn't any better since she was his accomplice. There was a public outcry on the internet. The topic "Erica Inman Cheated On Her Husband With Her Brother-In-Law" shot to the top of the trending searches list.

He didn't say anything else, but I responded firmly, "Trust me. These two plots will never lose money. Consider this my pledge of loyalty to you, Mr. Smith. If it doesn't work out, my family will take the loss." When he heard I was using family as a guarantee, Henry immediately agreed, "Alright, if you pull it off, I'll give you three percent of the return." "Yes, Mr. Smith!" I replied. The money didn't really matter to me. What I wanted was a chance to prove myself, and that meant results. Lauren and I analyzed every pro and con of both plots. The next day, we headed to the charity gala.
