    Chapter 197 Know Thyself And Know Thy Enemies,A Beauty with Multiple Masks


    Her friends were so shocked that they shut up immediately. They had never heard Kelsea scream with


    such a high-pitched voice before. Nevertheless, they were all good friends and quickly understood her


    feelings after they saw the look in her eye. Kelsea was obviously jealous. When the fact dawned upon


    them, all of them smiled wryly. No longer able to praise Arielle’s beauty, they changed their tack


    instead. “Arielle has no reason to feel smug.


    Once the chess tournament is over, she will be asked to leave.” “Exactly! Kelsea, we won’t be able to


    see that irritatingdy anymore. Thinking about it makes me miss her already.” “Tsk-tsk. If she meets


    Kelsea in the first round, she is finished. Kelsea’s chess mentor is Mr. Jewell, the founder of Haut


    Monde. Arielle would be trashed by Kelsea in just a couple of moves.” “That goes without saying. Given


    the participants today, only Mr. Nightshire, who wasst year’s champion, is good enough to take on


    Kelsea. Therefore,paring Arielle to Kelsea is by itself an insult to her.”


    After hearing their words, Kelsea’s gloomy expression turned into a smile. Every year during the Haut


    Monde, her goal was to beat Vinson at chess so that she could impress him. Unfortunately, she would


    never get the chance to face him because she would be defeated by Everett Eakins first. After a whole


    year of hard training, she was confident of beating Everett so that she could finally face Vinson. With


    that, Kelsea began to calm herself down.

    She knew that she shouldn’t lose her focus because of Arielle. After all, Arielle was just a distraction


    while her real rival was Everett. Holding that thought, Kelsea made an excuse to leave the group. After


    that, she found a quiet ce on the balcony and discreetly watched the videos of Everett’stest


    games. After all, “Know thyself and know thy enemies” was the secret to victory.


    Meanwhile, as Vinson introduced Arielle to other guests who were elites in their own fields, one famous


    detective caught her attention. She made an effort to obtain his contact and nned to get in touch


    after the banquet. Soon, the chess tournament began. The opponents in the first round were decided


    by a draw. Coincidentally, Arielle’s first opponent was one of Kelsea’s friends from earlier. However,


    anyone who attended the Haut Monde was an elite in their own right.


    It had nothing to do with them being socialites. When Vinson saw the draw she picked, he couldn’t help


    but feel worried. “If you don’t feel confident, I can have a word with the organizer.” “It’s fine.” Arielle


    remained exceptionally calm as she tightened her grip on the lot. When Vinson saw the expression on


    her face, he didn’t remonstrate further. After wishing her good luck, he headed to his allocated


    chessboard. By the time Arielle found hers, Kelsea’s friend was already seated at the board. Her name


    was Zany Zane.


    The moment she saw Arielle, she sneered, “Oh, why does it have to be you, Arielle. Do I need to go


    through the basic rules with you?” The moment Zany spoke, the person on the board next to them


    turned around in shock. He couldn’t believe that there was someone present who didn’t know the rules


    of chess. How did she get in here?


    Looking at her face, they surmised that Arielle must have attended the event because of her looks. Mr.


    Nightshire shouldn’t have brought someone who doesn’t know chess to the banquet. Wouldn’t he just


    disgrace himself? Arielle ignored what everyone else thought. Instead, she calmly made eye contact


    with Zany and tried to hold back a smile. “Thank you for your offer. I appreciate it.”
