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


    tournament. She is a young chess yer who is only twenty-five years old. She is a rookie in chess,


    and her name is Ellen Reiss. A round of apuse 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? Come and see the clothes I bought for Lena. When shees


    home, she can wear the new clothes.”


    “Come and 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 eximed, “What is she being awarded?” Olivia couldn’t believe that Ellen had. be an


    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.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    “S-She must have bribed them! There is no way she can be a 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 some benefits. They let her be a 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 thedy was a nobody who


    couldn’t achieve anything.


    Then, she refused to look at the TV anymore and went to do theundry. However, Connor sat back


    and hit rey, 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 y chess by the park.


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


    to thest 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 yers. However, he stoppedpeting 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 same time, 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.
