Chapter 1984

The camera turned toward a figure while the host continued. “This is the champion of this year’s tournament. She is a young chess

player who is only twenty-five years old. She is a rookie in chess, and her nis Ellen Reiss. A round of applause for Miss Reiss.”

Pfft!

Connor spat out his tea as he stared at Ellen intently, watching her take the trophy. He never expected that Ellen, whom he had

been searching for, would be standing on the stage as a chess champion.

Looking at her, Connor was beyond frustrated. After all, there was no use in finding her now when Selena would be getting out of

jail. Her life was ruined, and this case would forever taint her.

At this moment, Olivia entered the house. Seeing Connor staring at the TV with a surprised look, she asked, “What are you. looking

at? Cand see the clothes | bought for Lena. When she comes home, she can wear the new clothes.”

“Cand look at this girl, Oli,” said Connor as he pointed toward the TV screen.

Olivia wasn’t a fan of watching celebrities. When she heard Connor's words and saw that he was pointing at the TV screen, she

subconsciously looked over.

In the meantime, Ellen’s face was on the screen. The cameraman took a close-up of her, making her look event prettier on screen.

“This... Is this Ellen?” Olivia was dumbfounded. Why is she on TV and being awarded? As she thought, she exclaimed, “What is she

being awarded?” Olivia couldn't believe that Ellen had. becan outstanding woman and was on TV.

Moreover, she was awarded on national TV.

“It is the national chess championship.” Connor sighed. Never would he have thought that things would turn out this way. He used

to think. that Ellen couldn’t do anything and was just an ordinary girl. However, he didn’t expect her to be talented after one and a

half years had passed.

“S-She must have bribed them! There is no way she can beca chess champion! If not, her opponent must have thrown the

game. Thus, what is so special about an award that can be obtained by bribing?” Olivia uttered in disdain.

Hearing her words, Connor recalled that she was with Jared. Maybe the Presgrave Family had given her sbenefits. They let her

beca chess champion so she will have a better future. Perhaps Oli is right.

“This b*tch! How dare she live a great life and stand on the stage with spotlights on her when. she let Lena be in prison for a year!

She is ruthless!” Olivia was convinced that the lady was a nobody who couldn’t achieve anything.

Then, she refused to look at the TV anymore and went to do the laundry. However, Connor sat back and hit replay, rewinding the

stream. When he saw Ellen’s first match, he sat down and observed the process. Connor was a chess lover himself, and he would

always play chess by the park.

When he finished watching Ellen’s first match, he was shocked. Then, he quickly forwarded the stream to the last round. As he

watched the game, he knew what Olivia said was wrong. Ellen didn’t win the match by bribing. In fact, she won fair and square.

At that moment, the host mentioned Ellen’s mentor-Brook. He was the world champion who had defeated most of the top-tier

players. However, he stopped competing after a tragedy happened to his family, followed by depression.

It's quite a surprise that he is Ellen's mentor. No wonder Ellen is skillful, he thought.

When Olivia entered the room and saw Connor was still looking at Ellen, she was angry.

“Why are you still watching? What is there to look at?”

Hearing her words, Connor turned off the TV. At the stime, he didn’t tell Olivia that Ellen had won the championship with her

own skill. After all, he didn’t want his wife to be even angrier. At this moment, his phone rang. When he took out his phone and saw

who the caller was, he galloped to the balcony and answered it.
