The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 434

Chapter 434 Checkmate in Silence

Finished

Stanley had played chess his whole life. He wasn’t quite at a national level, but he was close–about the level of a top amateur player.

For many years, he hadn’t met a real opponent, unless it was a professional.

But against Scarlett, he was sweating.

As the game went on, the board turned strange. The moves felt off, almost unreal.

Then he lost.

And he lost fast.

After the first game, Stanley looked at Scarlett. His expression was a little dazed.

“Again,” he said.

Scarlett smiled gently. “Sure.”

They started the second game.

This time, Stanley lost even faster.

He looked more confused than before. He couldn’t help but glance at Scarlett again.

She smiled. “I haven’t

into it. Want to keep much lately, so I was a bit rusty. But after two games, I’m starting to get back

“Let’s keep going,” Stanley said. What else could he say?

Will stood nearby, staring in shock.

Turns out, he had worried for nothing.

Well, not exactly. Now he was worried for Stanley.

What if this crushed his confidence?

After that, there were no surprises. Stanley kept losing. Every single game.

But the more he lost, the more determined he became.

They played for over an hour.

He didn’t win a single game.

By the end, Stanley’s face had turned pale.

Finally, Will quickly stepped in. “Lunch is ready. The chef has finished cooking.”

He was afraid that if they kept playing, Stanley might actually lose his mind.

Stanley knew it too. There was no way he could win.

He just wasn’t as good.

“Let’s stop here. We’ll eat first.”

Scarlett smiled. “Sounds good.”

Once they sat at the table, Stanley let out a sigh. “I’m just not good enough,” he said.

Then he asked curiously, “Scarlett, your chess is no joke. You’re at an international level, right?”

Chess rankings go from amateur to professional, then national, and finally international. Each level has it own tiers.

Stanley himself was barely at the top national amateur level.

But Scarlett had completely outplayed him. He didn’t even have a chance to fight back.

He had never seen games like that before. They felt strange.

Scarlett said, “I’ve never taken any official tests.”

She meant she hadn’t tested in this life.

In her past life, she had been a professional player. Not just good, she was the best. A world champion.

So Stanley’s loss wasn’t unfair at all.

Stanley had nothing more to say.

He already knew someone as talented as Scarlett, with such amazing medical skills, couldn’t be weak in other areas.

Just like Ferris. He never stuck with anything for long. But he was so smart that even a few minutes of learning put him far ahead of others.

The two of them ate lunch and chatted.

Stanley’s private chef was truly impressive as the food was excellent.

Scarlett enjoyed the meal.

After lunch, she went home.

Life returned to normal. She moved between the lab, the Jenkin villa, and home.

Time passed quickly. Before she knew it, school was about to start.

Scarlett had stayed out of the public eye for almost two months while working in the lab.

Her fans online were starting to worry. She hadn’t been streaming, and her life had become very simple- just moving between three places every day.

No chance encounters. No updates.

Her popularity had dropped a little.

Now that school was starting, she had to show up for the opening ceremony.
