Chapter 195


    Vinson added, “But, you don’t have to worry as have made some arrangements. As you are my guest


    and not a member of the Haut Monde, you don’t have to participate in the chess tournament.” However,


    Arielle was stunned.


    Hans Jewell?My student, Hans?


    Arielle had a talent for chess. During an international tournament, ‘she had beaten Hans before.


    Ever since then, Hans pestered her to be his teacher until she had no choice but to take him in as her


    student.


    So, it seems Hans is a renowned chess yer in this country What a coincidence. However, a few


    years have passed since then, I wonder if his skills have improved.

    Lifting her gaze, Arielle requested, “In that case, can I trouble you to let the organizers know that


    I want to participate in the chess tournament too? The round-robin format sounds exciting.” When


    Vinson saw the sparkle in Arielle’s eye, he raised his eyebrow in surprise. “Do you know how to y


    chess


    “A little bit.”


    Vinson fell silent.


    During the acupuncture session and explosion incident, Arielle used the words “a little“ too.


    Therefore, he would be a fool to believe Arielle when she used the words “a little” ever again.


    “Fine. Since you’re keen to y, I’ll let them know. Go ahead and have some hors d’oeuvres while you


    wait for me here. Just don’t stray

    away.


    “Alright.” Arielle’ let out a mesmerizing smile, causing Vinson’s heart to race.

    He assumed that he had a high level of selfrestraint. But, when it came to Arielle, he just couldn’t keep


    himself in check.


    “It’s better not to look at her so often.


    Averting his gaze, Vinson went off at once.


    The moment he’left, many other guests approached Arielle to greet her. “In a very short time, her hands


    were full of name cards.


    Meanwhile she nced at the chairman of Noah Group and realized that he was an elderly man. Silent


    the entire time, he didn’t greet anyone at all Anyone who approached him would be quickly


    dispatched after a quick exchange of pleasantries. That was the reason why Vinson didn’t introduce


    her to him.


    Instead of taking the initiative to meet him, she might as well wait for him toe over.’


    INWES However, she just wasn’t sure how skillful he was at chess and whether she was good enough


    to attract his attention.


    Just when Arielle was feeling conflicted, a few morous-looking socialites approached her with


    champagne sses in their hands.


    The leader among them, who was wearing a striking yellow gown, was the first to greet her, “Ms.


    Moore, it’s been a while. Do you still remember me?”


    Looking at her, Arielle couldn’t recall who she was


    After apologizing cordially, she asked, “I have just returned to Jadeborough and don’t know many


    people. May I know who you may be?” Thedy thrust her chin proudly into the air to reveal a ne


    filled with Swarovski diamonds.


    She borated, “My name is Kelsea Morgan and Carter is my cousin. We met at Shandie’s birthday


    party before this.”


    Arielle had a sudden realization.


    Since she is Carter’s cousin, I suppose she is a


    friend?


    Just when Arielle smiled, she heard Kelsea sneer. “It seems clothes do make the man. Thest time I


    saw you at the Southall residence, you smelled terrible, just like a beggar. But today, your beautiful


    outfit makes a world of difference. However, I still wonder if you have taken a proper bath? After staying


    in the vige for so many years, had the stench gotten into your blood too?”


    Her snide remarks wiped the smile off Arielle’s face.
