Madam Guo'an's lips curled into a smile as her gaze landed on the Crown Prince Consort. "Crown Prince Consort, pardon my embarrassment. We have quite the gathering here."
Had it been anyone else, they might have felt their cheeks flush with shame. But to her surprise, the young crown prince consort regarded her with an impassive expression.
"There's no need for embarrassment. The fewer participants, the larger the potential share for each," he commented calmly.
Collective exasperation seemed to ripple through the room.
/Crown Prince Consort, a bit of humility wouldn't hurt!/
/You're acting as if the wealth in this capital pool is solely yours!/
Amidst the jesting, the Kang Prince erupted into laughter. "Indeed, indeed."
Madam Guo'an, who had staked a substantial 90 million, maintained a composed smile, yet inwardly, she felt an urge to metaphorically crush the audacious young man before her.
