In the Lap of Luxury by Unsweetened Chestnuts Novel novel Chapter 314

"Ms. Lewis, what do you think?"

Grace could guess Max's intention, but she made herself clear. "Max, putting chess aside, you have to give me an explanation."

Max reset all the chess pieces. While rearranging the pieces, he spoke calmly, "Of course. Let's use this game to determine the winner.

"If you win, you can take Shane away, and I won't say another word. If you lose, we'll forget anything happened, and we can put this in the past."

The general idea was that the chess game was like a gamble.

Upon hearing Max's words, Shane's expression relaxed a bit. He knew Max was protecting him. After all, Max's chess skills were second to none in Pamore.

Grace had no chance of winning against him.

"So, Ms. Lewis, what do you say?"

Shane couldn't help but jest, knowing that if Grace agreed, she would undoubtedly lose.

Grace shook her head.

Max thought she was backing out. His expression darkened, but to his surprise, Grace added, "The stakes seem a bit too small for this gamble."

Max was very intrigued.

"What do you propose?"

Grace looked at him gravely and said, "How about we add more weight to the stakes? What do you think?

"I think you've been in power for quite some time. How about we change the player?"

Shane burst out, "Grace, what do you mean? How dare you suggest taking down Max? You would have to go through us!"

Grace ignored him and looked at Max.
