Kelsea thought that Arielle had not heard of favonovel.com before.
Rolling favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com sneered, “You really are a dimwit. How can you not know who Mr. Jewell is? Let me tell you now. He is the founder of this annual event called the Haut Monde. If you don’t even know who favonovel.com is, what gives you the right to attend this banquet?”
From favonovel.com perspective, an ignorant country bumpkin like Arielle doesn’t deserve to be invited to such a prestigious event.
Kelsea added snarkily, “If you know what’s good for you, you should leave right now. Don’t wait till I have wiped you out in the game. By then, even your mom wouldn’t be able to recognize what’s left of you.”
Just a moment ago, Arielle had a relaxed expression on. In fact, favonovel.com had planned to play to a draw with Kelsea so as to not humiliate her. After all, favonovel.com was Carter’s cousin. But after Kelsea brought up favonovel.com mom, Arielle’s gaze turned frosty instead.
Giving favonovel.com an icy glare, Arielle asserted, “You wanted to know why am I worthy to be here? I’ll show you by defeating you in two minutes.”
“Hah?” Kelsea responded as if favonovel.com had heard something ridiculous.
Rubbing favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com wiped away favonovel.com tears of laughter.
She replied to Arielle in a condescending tone, “My dear, you can’t actually believe that you will be undefeated till the end? To be honest, the reason you won your earlier games was that your opponents weren’t very good anyway. You were lucky not to have faced anyone strong. In fact, you can’t even beat my friends, let alone me!”
“Is that so? What happens if I beat you?” Despite favonovel.com chilly gaze, Arielle was grinning ear to ear.
Kelsea scoffed, “If you beat me, I will kneel and admit my defeat to you in front of everyone here! However, if you lose, you will do the same and apologize for your impudence.”
Arielle chuckled. “Do we have a deal?”
Kelsea gritted favonovel.com teeth. “We do!”
Arielle scratched favonovel.com ear. “In that case, see you at the chessboard.”
With that, Arielle left in search of Vinson without saying another word. As for Kelsea, favonovel.com was utterly infuriated by Arielle’s attitude. She swore to herself that favonovel.com would make Arielle kneel before favonovel.com in defeat.
Clenching favonovel.com fists, Kelsea turned around and headed for the break room. She needed to carefully consider which strategy to adopt in favonovel.com attempt to decisively defeat Arielle.
Meanwhile, Arielle found Vinson who was chatting with someone else. When Vinson saw her, his frosty expression broke into a smile.
He remarked, “Congratulations. I heard that you’re still undefeated.”
Arielle humbly replied, “I’m just lucky to not have encountered anyone strong. However, the opposite seems true for you as you kept drawing formidable opponents. I didn’t expect you to be so good in chess though.”
“Everyone has their hobbies.”
Just as favonovel.com spoke, Vinson gestured toward a man who looked to be born of mixed parentage and introduced favonovel.com to Arielle. “This is Mr. Eakins and favonovel.com is Mr. Jewell’s favorite student. According to Mr. Jewell, Mr. Eakins is now a better player than favonovel.com is. If you beat your opponent later, you will have to face him.”
Arielle had heard Hans mention Everett before. At that time, Hans told favonovel.com that favonovel.com had a very talented student, Everett. Therefore, favonovel.com now had the opportunity to face favonovel.com student’s student. After all, favonovel.com was looking forward to seeing for herself how talented Everett was given the fact that Hans held favonovel.com in such high regard.
