Chapter 1113
Yorrick beckoned her to come over.
Xyla walked over, and he wrapped his arms around her waist in public. “They’re all acquaintances. Do you want to
give it a go?”
Xyla smiled. “Yes.”
Helios turned to look at Louis, turned around, and picked up his wine glass.” Since when did Xyla get together with
Yorrick?”
Louis shook his head and clinked his glass against Helios’. “I’m not sure about that.”
Yorrick handed the cue stick to Xyla and looked at Louis. “Mr. Lucas, I heard that your billiard skills are up there.
Don’t you want to play?”
Louis could not help but think that Yorrick was trying to make fun of him!
Helios seemed to have smelled something fishy and took a glance at both of them He then squinted and smiled. As
a person who had always been indifferent to such gossip, this was the first time he was that into a piece of gossip.
Xyla knew what Yorrick had in mind.

don’t want to play with Mr. Lucas.”
Louis glanced at Xyla while everyone else looked over and whispered, “Isn’t Xyla Mr. Lucas’ ex-girlfriend?” “It’s
been many years since they broke up, not to mention that Mr. Lucas has gotten married too. By the way, Xyla has
been having a lot of scandals with Mr. Hathaway recently.”
Yorrick narrowed his eyes and looked at Xyla calmly while Xyla rubbed the tip of her cue with billiard chalk and
explained calmly. “He sucks at billiards, so playing with him is a waste of my time. I’ll play with you, Mr. Hathaway.”
Yorrick chuckled. “Oh, really?”
“Are you telling me that you’re scared, Mr. Hathaway?” Xyla raised her eyebrows, and her domineering aura could
be sensed from yards away.
“Nice.” Yorrick laughed, picked up his cue, and placed a ball on the table. “However, I’ve always liked to increase
the fun by wagering something extra. We’ll play only one game, and the loser will…”
His pause caused Xyla’s heart to skip a beat.
Yorrick motioned for one of the waiters to bring them a bottle of bourbon. He then took the bottle from him and
calmly placed it on the side. “Finish this.”
Everyone around was shocked. Many of them knew that Xyla would definitely lose to Yorrick.
‘Is Yorrick trying just to embarrass her? Xyla and Yorrick’s scandal has been spreading like wildfire all over the
Internet recently. and it’s said that they’re in a relationship. But looking at them now, what makes them look like
they’re in a relationship? This looks more like Xyla has offended Yorrick, and Yorrick is trying to make her look bad in
public.’
Louis felt that Yorrick was going too far and was about to say something, but Helios stopped him. “Let’s just wait
and see what happens.”
Everyone was wondering if Xyla would back down. After all, the wager was to down a whole bottle of bourbon. Even
a great drinker might not be able to handle that.
Xyla agreed.
The smile on Yorrick’s face gradually faded, and his expression went back to how it was before he brought up the
wager. “You’re the one who wants to play with me.”
Xyla did not say anything.
‘He’s making things hard for me on purpose in order to embarrass me in public. What would the others think of me
if I were to back away at this time?
I’ll never admit defeat now.’
She walked to the table with the cue while someone else took all the balls out of the pockets and arranged them
with a triangle rack.
She was the first to serve and managed to pocket two balls in one go. She then pocketed another ball on her

missed on her third try.
Yorrick pocketed four balls with only one shot, and everyone at the side was astonished by his sheer skill. There
were still nine balls on the table, eight to be exact after the white cue ball was excluded.
He pocketed two more balls in another service, and he was absolutely on fire.
“Given the current score, Xyla’s defeat is a definite outcome, isn’t it?” “She’s overestimated her strength. She’s the
one who asked for it, isn’t she?”
There were only three balls left on the table, and nobody knew whether Yorrick made a mistake or handicapped
himself to give Xyla a fighting chance, but he did not score during this service.
Xyla pocketed one ball during her next service, and only two balls were left on the table.
Everyone around them watched the match very closely, and they gasped when she scored another point. Only one
ball was left, and it would be the tiebreaker.
It would certainly be a lie if Xyla were to say that she was not nervous at the moment. She made the serve, and the
cue ball came into contact with the last ball, making it roll toward the rail of the table and bounce off of it. Just as
the ball was about to drop into the pocket, the cue ball stopped right in front of the targeted pocket.
