‘Paige, I want to compete with you. If you know nothing about chess, you can choose any other one.’ Having said this, Kailyn said with confidence, ‘I’m all good at piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting.’
After all, she was a daughter of a wealthy family. There were many opportunities for her to learn talents. Many of those around her secretly envied her sparkling appearance. Who would not dream of being born into wealth and learning talents that would be the envy of others?
“Just chess.” Paige reluctantly said, ’One minute.”
Kailyn was secretly happy, and asked someone to borrow a set of chess, and graciously let Paige play first.
‘No, I’ll let you take three steps first.”
What??
Paige’s move made Kailyn feel humiliated. She smiled and said, “How can I do it? The competition is all about fairness and justice. Besides, it was I who asked for the contest. Of course, you should play the first move.”
Paige wasn’t in the mood to talk much, so she took one step first.
Kailyn thought that Paige couldn’t find anything to say back to her, and she felt even more proud, but she didn’t smile for a few seconds before seeing the situation getting more and more tense…
It was clearly a situation that couldn’t be simpler, but under Paige’s handling with ease, she was always in a disadvantaged position, and the chess pieces were always eaten by Paige…
In less than a minute, the outcome was already clear. Many people who came to join in the fun had just stood still when they saw that the time was up and the outcome had been decided.
Paige won. She still looked indifferent, as if winning or losing was just a trivial matter in her eyes.
But Kailyn was sitting in front of the chessboard, stunned as if she had suffered from a lightning strike. She thought that she could maintain her leading position for at least a minute, but now, seeing the miserable scene on the chessboard, she felt ashamed and couldn’t say a word.
How come…
How could Paige be so good at chess…
Not only was she good at the violin, but even at chess…
As soon as Paige got up, she heard someone say, ’It’s Mr. Eve!”
Malachi appeared in the crowd at some point, and no one knew how long he had been watching. Many people’s eyes fell on him, and he smiled kindly, looked at Paige, and applauded appreciatively.
’Wonderful. It’s so wonderful. I didn’t expect you to know chess… Who’s your teacher?”
She was able to beat Kailyn in violin and chess.
Kailyn’s chess talent was no worse than violin…
Paige did not tell him it was Carroll, but asked softly, “Why are you here?”
Why was he here enjoying the fun? Shouldn’t he be one of the judges?
’I want to add you on Line.” Malachi smiled gracefully.
When he commented on Paige’s violin level just now, he once said that if one day she changed her mind, she was welcome to find him at the Violin Association at any time, or he would add her on Line after a while…
She didn’t expect him to mean it!
Seeing Paige leave the auditorium, he followed up!
Everyone was stunned by his move. It seemed that he really liked Paige, was very satisfied with Paige, and intended to accept her as his disciple.
In front of so many people, Paige didn’t want to embarrass him, so she took out her phone, opened the QR code, and handed it over.
After scanning her code, Malachi said with a smile, ’Done.”
Paige accepted his friend request. “I’m gonna lead another team to the competition. I gotta go.”
‘Okay.’ Malachi nodded, “Contact anytime.’
After he finished speaking, when he passed by Kailyn, he didn’t even look at her…
He originally thought that by pretending not to see her, it would make the conceited her feel better.
But Kailyn misunderstood his kindness, and became even more dissatisfied and jealous!
She felt that Mr. Eve didn’t take her seriously. In front of her, he treated Paige with kindness, while treating her as nothing…
All the people about were crowding around Paige.
’Paige, you are so good! Not only can you play the violin well, but you can also play chess so well!”
