When Rex’s face appeared on the main screen, I almost burst out laughing.
Dressed in a tailored suit, his face was unusually relaxed, looking like some gambling master who had just turned his life around.
Raven sat next to him wearing a high slit custom gown, stirring her red wine while speaking in a sickly–sweet voice: “Oh Rexy baby, you’re amazing today, winning another fifty million!”
“If you keep winning like this, we’ll soon have over a hundred million.”
Rex smiled as he stroked her hair, his tone arrogant.
“This is nothing! We still have all those properties we transferred from Juni’s name. Let’s bet those too and make
another fortune.”
“You think those years married to her were for nothing?”
“She had money and connections, I even got to use her retirement funds… that kind of wife is just meant to be drained dry.”
Standing behind the screen, my lips curled into an icy smile.
Right after signing the divorce papers yesterday, I had already hired Chicago’s most renowned divorce attorney to collect substantial evidence of Rex’s illegal transfer of marital assets to sue him back home.
He thought all the transferred assets and the millions in debt from marital retirement funds were on me? Well, he had another thing coming!
This time, I wouldn’t rest until this disgusting couple was completely ruined, their lives utterly destroyed–and that
would be me showing mercy!
“Rex! You’ve got some real nerve!” I muttered.
“So I was just a fucking human ATM to you all along!”
By the third day at the casino, Rex had won eighty million.
Nash had given orders: no limit on his winnings, let Rex enjoy his victories to the fullest, preferably until he lost
control.
Rex truly believed his life was turning around. He immediately booked a private room and threw a celebration party at the hotel, even inviting his parents.
That day, I happened to run into them outside the casino in the hotel.

Nine Years Wasted–Now I’m Marrying Your Rival
Chapter 5
Rex’s father saw me and coldly mocked me in the middle of the lobby.
“The Chandler family has truly been blessed! As soon as my son divorces, wealth comes pouring through our door!”
“Juniper Hayes, you were nothing but bad luck. My son should have divorced you ages ago! If you hadn’t been blocking our family’s wealth, my son might already be a billionaire…”
Rex’s mother chimed in: “Juni dear, I’m just being honest–you really were bad luck. Raven is our family’s lucky star. She’s beautiful, sweet–tempered, considerate, and brings good fortune.”
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone to take selfies with a table full of chips and champagne in the background, posting on social media:
[First day after my son’s divorce: $80 million win! Raven is our true lucky charm! @RexChandler @Raven Montrose]
Rex looked at me, his eyes full of calculation and wariness.
“Juniper Hayes! These assets came after our divorce, so don’t even think about trying to claim any of it!”
His face was filled with anger, terrified I might try to stake a claim.
Even Raven pointed at my clothes mockingly.
“Juniper Hayes, for a woman to end up like you–it’s truly pathetic. Everything you’re wearing right now probably doesn’t add up to two hundred dollars, does it?”
She deliberately waved her rare Himalayan Hermès bag in front of my face.
“Unlike me–Rexy just bought me this million–dollar bag.”
She looked me up and down, her tone incredibly smug.
I laughed coldly, but before I could speak, several guests who had heard about Rex and Raven’s “affair” at the hotel a few days earlier jumped in to defend me.
‘Oh? Aren’t you the two cheating scumbags from the other day?”
“The shamelessness is unreal. Plenty of people dream of striking it rich in Vegas, but with your character, even if you win, you’ll probably end up losing everything anyway.”
‘Exactly! Karma’s watching. Let’s see if you’re still laughing in the end!”
‘Disgusting! You two bring nothing but bad luck!”
These strangers standing up for me were eerily prophetic.
I couldn’t be bothered to look at their smug faces anymore, so I just laughed coldly.

Nine Years Wasted–Now I’m Maradnu Your Dival
Chapter 5
“Try actually winning a billion before you get this cocky. Everyone in this casino has a few million. Who do you think you are?”
Rex was furious, pointing at me, ready to explode.
I turned and walked away, signaling with my eyes to Nash, who was standing in a corner outside, not to approach.
If he appeared now and Rex’s group noticed him, this revenge wouldn’t be nearly as fun.
