Chapter 1991

Selena couldn’t stand losing to Ellen. She commented harsh words under the video, every one of them

was scolding Ellen. Then, she felt it wasn’t enough and snarled.

“Ellen, you b*tch! I will never forgive you.”

Her voice shocked the girls, and they all looked at her. One of the girls frowned and said, “She is

criticizing Ellen!”

Immediately, Selena smirked coldly and replied, “That’s right. I’m badmouthing the chess champion,

Ellen. She is a b*tch, yet you guys. admire her. This is just ridiculous.” “Are you crazy?!”

“Yeah. She must be crazy from being jealous. Let’s go.” When Selena heard their words, she glared at

them angrily, and the girls left. Ellen must have won the championship by bribing.

I need to find evidence of her cheating! Then, she will be thrown off the crown. I’m going to destroy her,

even if it means I will ruin my life, thought Selena as she gritted her teeth.

Then, she took out her phone and called Olivia. “Have you seen the news about Ellen,

Mom? It’s ridiculous that she is a chess champion,” Selena said with contempt.

“I know. Just ignore her and live our own lives,” replied Olivia. “I went to jail for over a year because of

her, Mom. Do you think I will let her get away with it?”

“What are you going to do, Lena?” Hearing Olivia’s words, Selena quickly reacted and said, “I’m not

going to do anything, Mom. I just hate her.”

“Don’t do anything stupid. You just got out of jail.” Olivia reminded her. After Selena promised to Olivia,

she searched for people connected to the chess tournament.

Then, she saw the judge who was in charge of Ellen’s match. She decided that she was going to

investigate to see whether Ellen had won fair and square.

On the other hand, after Ellen had finished the interview, she texted Jared. ‘Do you have any free time

tonight? I’ll treat you to dinner. She wanted to buy him dinner since she still felt guilty about her sudden

departure.

Just as she had sent the text, Jared immediately called her. Ellen was startled, but she soon answered

the call. “Hello.” “I’ll choose the place, Jared said.

Ellen was cool with it. No matter how expensive it would be, she decided to pay.

“Sure. Let’s meet up at 5.30PM.”

During the past year, she had managed her finances well, so she should be able to buy him a meal or

two at a fancy restaurant. “Sure. See you at 5.30PM, then.” Jared smiled on the other end of the

phone.

As Ellen returned to her room, she searched the gossip about her and Jared. When she saw the

articles, she was shocked. After all, their names were everywhere.

Looking at it, she wondered if the media had overdone it. She was embarrassed to see how they had

praised her. Initially, she didn’t want to be high profile, but as long as her name was bonded with Jared,

it would go viral.

Then, she returned to her room and got some calls from her friends. She was embarrassed. She didn’t

want to admit it, but gossip about her and Jared was everywhere. However, she couldn’t bring herself

to admit it since this was the first time they had met after one year of departure. She needed time to

sort it out!

When it was 5.30PM, there was a knock on Ellen’s door. She opened it and saw Jared standing there.

Since she was also ready, they entered Jared’s car and headed to the restaurant. Jared was curious

about her life. “Why did you go to Brownsville?”

“It’s the Home of Chess, which is also my mentor’s hometown.” “When did you learn to play chess?

You never told me about it.” “I started when I was seven.

At first, I was just watching the others playing. The person who first taught me was also my mentor.

Since Grandma loves to play poker, I would accompany her to the park. From preschool to high school,

I spent most of my time at the park.

After seeing it for such a long time, I just took an interest in it.” Ellen used to think of it as a hobby.

However, after encountering Brook, he encouraged her, which made her work hard for it and go to the

rank match.
