Chapter 192: Charlotte’s Levels
He really couldn’t figure it out.
The moment those words came out, the others were awakened as well.
That’s right.
The famous Scarlet Jade, even old Mr. Foster couldn’t get for it, so how could Charlotte be so virtuous as to get her hands on it?
Could there be something suspicious about it?
you sure that what you gave Grandpa is the real Scarlet Jade chess set?”
At that moment, Cecilia, who had already wiped away her tears, suddenly spoke up and questioned her.
Just now, Charlotte had destroyed her credibility, so she couldn’t wait to destroy Charlotte’s name as well.
If this Scarlet Jade chess set was a fake, it would be hilarious.
In this case, Charlotte and she would just be the same and no one could talk bad about the other.
“That’s right,” Calvin said immediately, his eyes staring at Charlotte in an unfriendly manner. “Tell us clearly, how did you get this Scarlet Jade? It wouldn’t really be a fake to fool Grandpa, would it?”
“This is real… It can’t be fake!”
Unexpectedly, old Mr. Foster immediately spoke up and refuted Calvin and Cecilia.
“Do you think I won’t be able to tell if it is fake or not?” The old master looked at them with cold eyes, his tone conveying a slight sternness. “It’s not like
I’m an old fool.”
“I’m just surprised that Charlotte was only able to get the Scarlet Jade chess set… You guys have evil intentions and steal other people’s things… Don’t think that Charlotte is like that, too.”
The old man was speaking for Charlotte, so to speak.
By the way, he also humiliated Cecilia.
When she heard this, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face turned green for a moment, then white, incomparably wonderful.
“Grandpa.” At this moment Charlotte called to the old man in a low voice, her face still tinted with a few smiles, looking bright and charming. “To tell the truth, I can play chess too. There’s nothing I’m good at, but chess happens to be considered my strength,”
If Arnold were present and heard Charlotte say these words, he would definitely choke on his own saliva.
What did she mean by “nothing I’m good at“?
How dare she say that?
“You can play chess, too?” The old master said, and an excited look could not help but cross his face.
Charlotte nodded. “Yes. And I was lucky enough to play against Mr. Jade before, and he saw that I had good talent, so he gave me this chess set.”
This was the speech Charlotte had thought of a long time earlier.
If she suddenly took out the world’s most precious Scarlet Jade chess set, it was bound to cause offense.
Therefore, she had already thought about the causes and consequences in her mind.
“You’ve met Mr. Jade?!”
Old Mr. Foster suddenly stood up, and his eyes couldn’t help but widen.

There was both surprise and joy in his expression, as well as a faint hint of envy.
“You little girl, you are so lucky.” The old master then sighed and said somewhat helplessly, “I, uh, tried very hard to see Mr. Jade before, but I just couldn’t see… him.”
Charlotte sniffed and pursed her lips with an unnatural expression.
It looked like she was sorry for the old man before…
“I was indeed lucky.”
She nodded and said somewhat shyly.
Come, join me for a game of chess!” The old master’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he waved at her with his eyes fluttering. “Since your chess skills have
ady been confirmed by Mr. Jade… it means that you must not be bad at playing. Come, let’s play a game.”
“Let’s see how good you really are!”
On a whim, the old master immediately went to the back of the dining table.
Everyone was taken by surprise.
The dinner hadn’t even been eaten yet, and the old master wanted to play chess first?
“Grandfather, why don’t we eat first?” Yohan was silent for a moment and finally spoke up weakly, advising old Mr. Foster.
“Let them play, don’t spoil Grandpa’s fun.” Sophia, however, disagreed with Yohan’s opinion. She lowered her eyebrows and said with a slight smile, “Today is Grandpa’s birthday. He can do whatever he wants.”
After saying that, she raised her eyes to look at old Mr. Foster. “Grandpa, I want to watch you play chess.”
As she spoke, Charlotte and the old man had already gone to the resting place by the dining table.
Soon the servants brought in chess boards and placed them on the center table.
“We’ll use these Scarlet Jade pieces to play against each other. How about that?”
Charlotte nodded, “Okay.”
The old master immediately took out the jade chess pieces. He held the black pieces while Charlotte held the white pieces.
Everyone else, including Max in his wheelchair, came around them and began to watch.
There was only one person still sitting motionless at the dining table.
That person was none other than Jonathan.
His head was bowed, but his eyes were already closed.
Under the influence of alcohol, he had long since fallen asleep without moving.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him not to say a single word at the dinner table right now.
Of course, at that moment, no one was paying attention to Jonathan, who had already fallen asleep.
Everyone’s attention had been focused on the two chess players for a long time.
Some people were holding their breath, some were indifferent and silent, while others were in a state of watching a good show-
Cecilia and Calvin, for example.
They wanted to see if Charlotte really knew how to play chess that well.
At the table, the game between old Mr. Foster and Charlotte had already begun.
In the beginning, the old man attacked hard.
Chapter 192: Charlotte’s Levels
Every move seemed to cut into Charlotte’s vital point.
She played relaxed.
She resisted for a while, but in the end, she was devoured by the old master and lost.
The first game.
Charlotte lost.
Cecilia and Calvin couldn’t help but smile gleefully as they saw her lose so ugly.
“This is the chess skill that Mr. Jade recognized? Haha, it’s nothing more than the ordinary.” Calvin snorted coldly, his tone mocking with disdain.
