The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Who Do You Think You Are

Harlan squinted at the topmost die on the other side, shocked to see that it showed a one.

He exclaimed, “How is this possible? Where did you learn this trick? You only shook the cup three times and rolled six ones. I refuse to believe it! I spent five years perfecting this technique, and I still need multiple shakes. How did you pull it off?”

He couldn’t believe this!

Slowly, he lifted his own cover–only to reveal that the top die was also a one.

For the first time, Brenna looked impressed. “Not bad.”

She carefully placed each of her dice on the table, revealing six perfect ones.

Raising a brow slightly, she said, “Harlan, your turn. Let’s see–do you have six ones?”

Harlan let out a snort, fuming at the challenge. Years of practice had never earned him a perfect roll, but at this moment, he prayed for a miracle.

Joonas leaned in and began lifting Harlan’s dice, removing them slowly. With every die turned over, the

pounding in Harlan’s chest grew louder.

The first die—a one.

The second–a one.

A spark of hope flickered across Harlan’s face. His training hadn’t been for nothing. If all six were ones, he’d

escape the worst outcome.

The third die—still a one.

His smile widened ever so slightly.

But his heart raced in anticipation.

The fourth–a one again.

His fortune was astounding. He felt he wouldn’t lose this time, and a laugh escaped him.

Brenna’s smirk deepened, amusement flashing across her face. The guy had both skill and luck.

The fifth die–a one.

Brenna exchanged a knowing look with Thiago. If this continued, teaching Harlan a lesson tonight might not be

possible.

Chapter 99 Who Do You Think You Are

Only one die remained.

The entire room fell silent, all eyes locked onto the last reveal

It was a thire.

Harlan’s face drained of color. His limbs went weak, and without thinking, he hid his hands beneath the table

The gathered spectators–many of whom had suffered after losing to Harlan watched intently Some bore knife wounds, others had lost fingers, a few had scars marking their faces, and some had gambled away everything they owned. Now, they all waited for Joonas to deliver his verdict.

Losing this game came with a brutal price losing three fingers.

Desperation overtook Harlan as he turned to Thiago. “Thiago, we’re family. You know Miss Harper. Please, speak to her on my behalf. Don’t let them cut off my fingers. I’ll pay–double the amount Would that be

enough?”

Brenna wasn’t particularly interested in cutting off Harlan’s fingers. Her decision to corner him tonight wasn’t solely because he had sided with Sylvie and Vivian against her–it was also about Thiago.

This entire situation had been set up for Thiago to bring Harlan down.

Brenna turned to Thiago. “Three fingers. You can do it.”

Thiago’s expression was cold and unwavering. “Sure thing.”

Ethan, watching their exchange, sensed there was more to their relationship than mere partnership

Without drawing attention, he pulled out his phone and sent a message, instructing someone to look into Thiago and Brenna.

Meanwhile, Joonas had Harlan’s right hand forced onto the table.

A sharp, putrid smell hit Brenna, making her wrinkle her nose in disgust. Harlan had peed himself in fear. Brenna said to Ethan, “It’s disgusting here. Let’s leave the matter to Thiago and Joonas. We can go now.”

Ethan checked his watch and nodded. “It’s about time for dinner. Let’s go eat something,” he said.

Harlan, paralyzed with fear, screamed frantically, “No, please, don’t do this! Name any price–I’ll pay it! I’ll even hand over part of my family’s business…”

His pleas fell on deaf ears. Thiago gripped a gleaming knife and drove it into the table with a sharp thud. “Begging won’t change anything now. When you forced my mother to take that destructive substance, do you remember how she and I begged you? Did you show any mercy back then?” he said.

“Ahhh-”

A sharp cry rang out from Harlan’s mouth as three of his fingers were cut off.

Brenna didn’t stay to witness it. She and Ethan had already left.

Before their car could pull away, a fleet of black vehicles swerved in, blocking their path.
