Chapter 1171

Matthew Wins

Matthew gritted his teeth, wordless. He then reached out his hand into the box, and this time, he
obtained the ten of hearts. Thereupon, Matthew had gotten himself a royal flush.

“Tsk, tsk…” The crown prince shook his head. “What did I tell you, Matthew! You’re just so stubborn! I’m
sorry to tell you, but you’re only awaiting defeat!” He proceeded to insert his hand into the box, moving
the snakes away as he scoured for the ten of spades while Matthew calmly watched as he searched in
the box. After searching for a while, the crown prince was clearly nervous as he was unable to find the
ten of spades.

“Are you looking for the ten of spades?” Matthew finally voiced. “I’m sorry, but I think I took the ten of
spades out by accident earlier.”

“What?!” The crown prince was stunned. He turned to Matthew, only to see the additional ten of spades
in his hand. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “H-How did you do that?”

“I took this card out the first time I put my hand in,” Matthew softly explained. “Otherwise, why would I
spend so much time in the box?”

The crown prince’s face immediately blanched. He deeply believed that he had the upper hand. Little did
he know, he was deceived by Matthew’s trickeries. Since the very beginning, Matthew had been setting
him up. He took away the ten of spades, but deliberately pretended to be going for a heart royal flush in
order to make the crown prince think that he was in control. In fact, the moment the crown prince went
for a spade royal flush, he had already lost.

After remaining silent for a while, the crown prince raised his head and laughed out loud. “Interesting,
fascinating, indeed! You truly didn’t let me down, Matthew. This time, I’ve lost, but that doesn’t mean



things are over between us. You may now go and rescue your wife. She’s in the room at the back of the
hallway.”

Without saying more, Matthew sprinted toward the innermost room. Having traveled through the lengthy
hallway, he arrived at the room’s door. The door was tightly shut, but he rammed the door open and
stormed into the room, only to find blood stains all over the room. He took a glimpse into the room and
discovered Sasha—seemingly unconscious—lying on the bed.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he dashed over to her. As he was about to carry her, he heard some noises
from the bathroom. He ran over to the bathroom and opened the door, only to find two people drenched
in blood. One was Sasha’s sister, Demi, who was covered in scars, her face ridden with numerous slash
wounds, and her head was filled with wounds as she was on the brink of death. Despite that, she was
still grasping the man who had fallen by the tub with all her might.



That man was none other than Liam. Although there weren’t any wounds on his body, a knife was
stabbed through his throat and blood was profusely gushing out of his neck. In his hand was a glass
fragment that was still pricking on Demi’s arm. Nevertheless, due to his massive blood loss, he didn’t
have much energy left.

It seemed as if the two had undergone a battle for life and death.

When Liam had decided to kill Sasha off, Demi ultimately found the kindness buried deep within her
heart. She tried to defend her sister, only for her significant other to put her into the crosshair, dealing
with her before her sister. Regardless, Demi was, after all, a woman, and she was no match for Liam.
Hence, she got beaten badly by Liam. Accordingly, the manic Liam eventually dragged her to the
bathroom and intended to slit her throat in there. Panicked, Demi grabbed a fruit knife and probed it into
the man’s neck, which was currently what Matthew was witnessing.



Seeing that, although Matthew didn’t know what exactly happened, he knew that Demi was trying to
protect Sasha. Or else, Sasha would’ve been dead long ago. Although he wasn’t exactly pleased with
Demi, at such a critical time, the woman had certainly fulfilled her role as a true sister.
