The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537 Shameless Kenneth

“Oh no!” Jefford exclaimed. “I’ve accidentally upset the board! There’s no way to know who’s in the lead now!”

Kenneth folded his palms on the handle of his cane and said nothing.

Natalie’s gaze darted between Kenneth and his butler and saw through their charade at once.

The wordless exchange between the adults went unnoticed by the children.

“You did that on purpose, Jefford!” Franklin yelled. “I saw you flip the board!”

“I saw it too! I saw it too!” Sophia cried, losing interest in the sweet cakes before her. “How could you do something this despicable, Jefford?”

The old butler blushed at being reprimanded by young children.

Clayton looked all serious. “Great-grandpa, did you have Jefford flip the board to avoid having to admit that you lost?”

Kenneth scowled. “He was the one who did it! What are you implicating?”

Xavian pursed his lips in disapproval. “If the board had not been flipped, Mommy would have been in the lead by six points.”

As Xavian’s proclamation rang out in the stunned silence, Kenneth found his mouth wide open with shock.

The boy is just an observer of the game he’s not a part of! How did he manage to keep track of the game so closely?

“It doesn’t really matter if the board had been upset,” Xavian continued with a shrug. “I remembered every move both of you made from the beginning. If you don’t believe me, I can recreate the board right before it fell.”

Kennth tugged at his mustache in awe. “Do you really remember the whole game, Xavian?”
