Dumped Then Claimed By A Billionaire (Nerissa and Owen) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137

Sue said this, her voice dripping with pride.

She was a retired Go player.

In the Go community, no one could touch her, except for N.

‘Who does Nerissa Jamison think she is, anyway?’ Sue thought to herself with a sneer.

‘She’s just some clueless kid,’ Sue sneered to herself.

‘Does she even know how to play Go?

‘She isn’t even qualified to set up her own board.

‘She actually thinks she can beat me?

‘That’s just wishful thinking!’

Nerissa fixed her gaze on Sue, her expression almost unreadable. She spoke with a cool indifference, tossing

“You’re right, Ms. Sullivan. Once you make a move, there’s no turning back. The Ocean Star is your

‘s treasure, isn’t it? Are you really willing to put something that valuable on the line and risk losing it to

Sue couldn’t help herself, she let out a snort and burst into laughter.

“Hahaha-”

Her laughter rang out, loud and unrestrained.

She honestly couldn’t hold it back anymore.

Sue just couldn’t wrap her head around where Nerissa’s confidence was coming from.

‘What a joke,’ Sue scoffed inwardly.

Sue went on, “Don’t worry, Ariel. When I say something, I mean it. I’m not some two-faced backstabber who goes back on her word! And I hope you won’t turn out to be one either!”

With that, Sue kept on laughing.

And she wasn’t the only one.

Everyone in the crowd was smirking and snickering.

“Guess this is the end for the Sullivan family!”

“Who gave Nerissa the nerve to act all high and mighty in front of Sue?”

I’I

“Has Mrs. Sullivan ever thought about swapping out her heir?”

“Nerissa can’t hold a candle to Miss Bailey!”

“I’m starting to wonder if Mrs. Sullivan chose the wrong heir! Nerissa is no Ariel, that’s for sure!”

Listening to all the mocking laughter and gossip, Anna felt a rush of superiority. She glanced up at Nerissa, her gaze pure malice.

‘Just wait!’ Anna thought, a sneer curling on her lips.

‘After tonight, that little tramp’s reputation in Kindowen will be trashed for good.

‘As for me, I would be the Sullivan family’s one and only heir from now on.

Losing the Ocean Star might look like just losing the Berenson family’s treasure, but really, it would be a slap in the face for both the Berenson and Sullivan families.

By then, Nerissa would lose everyone’s favor.

The more Anna thought about it, the more hyped she got.

‘Figures,’ Anna scoffed to herself, her lips curling in a sneer.

‘That country bumpkin really is hopeless, not a single brain cell in her head. Luna barely had to prod her, and she jumped right in.’

‘Look at her, acting like she’s all that!’

Luna hadn’t expected the family reunion to get this wild. She couldn’t help but sigh, “Who would’ve thought Luna would accidentally do us such a huge favor.”

“It wasn’t just luck,” Anna shot back.

“Anna, what are you talking about?” Luna turned to her daughter, confusion written all over her face.

Anna went on, “Everything’s going exactly as I planned.”

Luna’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Wait, Anna, you mean… you set all this up?”

“That’s right,” Anna nodded. “Mom, I told you, Nerissa’s just a country bumpkin. She isn’t even worth a pinky of mine!”

If Anna wanted Nerissa gone by midnight, Nerissa wouldn’t even make it to dawn.

Luna was floored. “Anna, how did you pull this off? Luna’s not someone you can just manipulate!”

Sue was the third daughter of the Fisher Family, one of the few smart ones in her family. Back in the day, she was a legend in the Go world, and after retiring, she helped the Liu Group out of plenty of tough spots.

She was a real force to be reckoned with.

Luna never would’ve imagined that someone as sharp as her would one day end up being her daughter’s

weapon.

‘My daughter is just too good!’ Luna thought, bursting with pride.

For a moment, Luna was absolutely beaming.

Anna smirked, lowering her voice. “Mom, if you really pay attention, you’ll see everyone has a weakness. I just nailed Sue’s soft spot, and that’s how I got her to do exactly what I wanted.”

Not only did she get Sue to do her dirty work, but Sue was actually grateful to her for it.

After all, she was the one who tipped Sue off about why Van was in such a bad mood.

Luna beamed. “The student really does surpass the master! Anna, you’re incredible!” At this rate, Kindowen and Minttown will both be yours for the taking.

Anna tugged Luna down beside her, her tone gentle. “Mom, all we have to do now is sit back and watch the drama unfold.”

Luna nodded, settling into her seat next to Anna.

Meanwhile.

The event staff had already set up the Go board.

Nerissa and Sue sat down face-to-face, cameras zoomed in on the board. The live feed was up on the big screen, so everyone in the hall could watch the match play out in real time.

That way, everyone could watch every move as it happened.

Black always moves first in Go.

Whoever

goes first gets

the advantage.

The first move gives you

the upper hand.

After the stone draw, Sue ended up with the black stones.

She looked at Nerissa. “Nerissa, even though I’ve got black, I’ll give you the first move.”

Letting Nerissa go first was nothing to Sue, even if she gave her ten moves, she was sure she could beat her easily.

“No need. Let’s stick to the rules,” Nerissa replied calmly. “I don’t like taking advantage, and I have no interest in winning without earning it.”

‘Winning without real skill, huh? How noble. Sue sneered to herself.

Sue’s lips twisted into a mocking grin. She’d never seen anyone as shameless as Nerissa, about to get wrecked, but still running her mouth.

“Does Nerissa really think she can win?”

“Hahaha! This is hilarious!”

“I’ve never seen anyone this full of themselves.”

Sue was lost for words for a moment.

Sue snorted dismissively. “Fine, then I won’t hold back!”

With that, Sue placed her first stone on the board.

As soon as everyone saw where Sue put her stone on the big screen, the whole hall erupted in whispers and gossip.

“She went for tengen! Sue’s first move is right at the center point, looks like she’s about to wipe the floor with Nerissa!”

“Wow! No wonder she’s a pro, even after two years off, she’s still on a whole other level.”

In Go, opening at tengen is a bold provocation.

It’s basically saying you don’t respect your opponent one bit.

Anyone could see what was going on.

Sue clearly didn’t take Nerissa seriously at all.

After all, she was a pro Go player, she really did have the skills to back it up.

But Nerissa didn’t flinch at Luna’s provocation. With her slender, graceful fingers, she picked up a white stone and placed it right on the star point.

‘The star point?’ everyone thought, stunned.

‘She actually went for the star point!’

Everyone knew the first rule of Go was to grab the corners, then the edges.

Nerissa dropped her stone right on the star point, not a corner, not an edge, just smack in the middle of nowhere.

Clearly, she had no clue how to play Go.
