Chapter 198 Checkmate,A Beauty with Multiple Masks

Zany didn’t think that someone who grew up in the village would know how to play chess. Therefore,

Arielle must just be putting up a strong front. Unbeknownst to her, reality was different from what she

expected. The tournament was about to begin in two minutes, and Zany noticed that many people had

gathered around them to watch. Pretending to be magnanimous, she explained, “I had better run

through the ground rules with you.

The chess pieces are already in place so I don’t have to show you that. I’m black while you’re white. I’ll

move the black pieces and you will do the same to the white pieces. Based on the rules, white will

move first. If you want to surrender, all you need to do is to topple your king…” Zany acted as if she

was an expert while going through the rules with Arielle.

However, Arielle didn’t interrupt and quietly listened to her show off. In the eyes of others, Arielle looked

as if she was learning the game earnestly. Finally, the tournament began. Zany gestured courteously

for Arielle to start. Smirking, Arielle made the first move. Without any hesitation, Zany followed by

capturing Arielle’s pawn. Arielle made her second move… and third… and fourth. Gradually, Zany’s

expression turned into one of disbelief.

Her eyes opened so widely that they were about to pop out of their sockets. How is this possible?

Arielle… has actually captured so many of my pieces. Rubbing her eyes, she couldn’t believe what was

going on. Nevertheless, the reality was exactly what she saw. Her queen had been captured, causing

her hands to tremble. Lifting her gaze at Zany, Arielle asked, “Are you moving?” Zany stared intently at

the board. This way?

Checkmate! That way? Checkmate! No matter what moves she made, her king would end up being

captured. Therefore, it was just a matter of time before she was defeated. Sweat began to break out of

Zany’s forehead. She couldn’t believe that she, an amateur chess player with outstanding results,



would lose to a country bumpkin. Knock… Knock… At that moment, she heard Arielle’s fingers tapping

on the table, as if to hurry her up.

What an insult! Unfortunately, there was no way for her to turn the game around. Closing her eyes with

a pale expression, Zany toppled her king… That was a sign that she had admitted defeat. Arielle stood

up and extended her hand to shake. However, Zany simply walked off in humiliation. Arielle grinned as

she watched Zany flee in disgrace. Sometimes, it’s better to ignore the taunts and insults of others. All I

need to do is to defeat them when it mattered.

Given that Zany had admitted defeat, Arielle won the round in a quick two minutes. The scorekeeper

noted down Arielle’s points on a scoreboard. The participants would be eliminated based on their

score. Given how low Zany’s score was from losing to Arielle, she would likely be asked to leave Haut

Monde. Meanwhile, Kelsea had just ended her game.

When she saw her opponent topple his king, she let out a triumphant smile before heading over to the

scoreboard. She wanted to see how many moves Zany defeated Arielle with. Perhaps…
she didn’t even need any? After all, Arielle doesn’t even know how to play. However, before she got far,

Kelsea ran into Zany whose face was pale in shock.

She was holding her bag and looked as if she was about to leave. Stunned, Kelsea stopped her and

asked, “Are you feeling okay? Where are you going?” Looking at Kelsea, Zany forced an awkward

smile, “Erm… yes. I… I’m not feeling well. I’m going off first as I need to see the doctor.”
