The Wife They Tried to Replace Is Now Untouchable novel Chapter 531

Chapter 531

[Please. Lillian’s play makes it obvious she knows very little about playing cards. She’s just lucky to be paired with Ms. Grant, who’s been feeding her cards. That’s why she won a couple of rounds.]

[Exactly. If you don’t know how to play, go learn first. Don’t embarrass your idol.]

[Quit arguing. Look, the round’s over. Ms. Grant’s asking if Ms. Benson and Vanessa don’t know how to play.]

On the show set, after Jessica won the first game, she’d pretty much sized up everyone’s skills.

Before the second game started, she spoke up. “I don’t think Sabrina and Vanessa know this game too well. Let me run through the rules for you.”

Sabrina let out a clear sigh of relief. “That’d be amazing, thanks, Jessi. I’ve really never played much. Honestly, the first game had me totally confused.”

Sabrina was always stubborn. If no one had asked, she would’ve kept a straight face and pushed through. But now that Jessica had given her an opening, she wasn’t about to be silly and refuse.

Vanessa let out a breath too, then smiled, and thanked Jessica. “Thanks, Jessi. Like Sabrina, I’ve never played this before. Did I mess things up for you just now?”

Jessica laughed when she heard that. “Not at all. Lillian and I were on the same team last game, remember?”

Sabrina and Vanessa exchanged a look, both feeling a little speechless.

They thought, ‘So that was why we were totally outplayed. We were up against someone who knows what they are doing.‘

“Come on, don’t be mad,” Lillian said, her voice sweet as honey. “Last game was just luck, really. And I took advantage of you not knowing the game. Honestly, I’m pretty bad at this. Once you two get the hang of it, go easy on me, please? Pretty please?”

In just a few words, Lillian had the mood light again.

The comments were full of praise for Lillian’s emotional intelligence, though plenty were also complimenting Jessica.

When the second game started, Jessica patiently explained the rules and some tips to Sabrina and

Vanessa,

“Oh, I get it now,” Sabrina said after thinking it over, sure she’d got the hang of it.

Vanessa nodded with a smile too.

“Great. Let’s draw cards to pick teams,” Jessica said once she saw they understood.

They quickly reshuffled, and this time, Jessica’s opponents were Sabrina and Lillian.

Jessica deliberately slowed down her play, feeding Vanessa a few good cards now and then, and even let Sabrina get away with a few wrong moves.

Brian soon noticed Jessica was going easy, but he didn’t say anything. He just brought over a fruit platter, sat beside her, and snuck her bites now and then.

“You can play this one,” Spencer said, sitting behind Vanessa. He’d also figured out Jessica was controlling the game, so he sounded a little distracted when he gave Vanessa pointers.

“Okay,” Vanessa said, playing the card as he suggested.

Jessica, who’d just finished a piece of cantaloupe, looked over, and her eyebrow twitched.

“I won this hand!” Sabrina called out, her voice a little louder, with a hint of joy in it.

Vanessa’s smile faltered a little, and she apologized to Jessica. “Sorry, Jessi.“.

“It’s okay. Watch, I’ll win it back for you in a minute,” Jessica said, not really caring. She tossed down a

new card as she spoke.
