Chapter 192 

Lionel really couldn’t figure it out. 

Hearing Lionel’s words, others were also reminded. 

Exactly. 

Even Lionel couldn’t get the famous Scarlet Jade. How on earth did Oneida manage to get it? 

Could there be something hidden going on? 

“Are you sure that what you gave to Grandpa is the real Scarlet Jade Chess?” 

Just then, Bella, who had just dried her tears, suddenly spoke out and questioned Oneida. 

Oneida had just exposed Bella, so she was eager to humiliate Oneida. 

If the Scarlet Jade Chess turned out to be fake, things would really heat up. 

That way, Oneida and Bella would be regarded as the same kind of people, and Oneida would have no right to despine Bella 

“Exactly,” Claude immediately echoed, looking at Oneida with an unfriendly gaze. “Go ahead, explain how you got this Scarlet Jade. You didd 1 jour fool Grandpa with a fake, did you?” 

“This is real. It can’t be fake!” 

Lionel’s sudden refute stunned Claude and Bella. 

“Do you think I can’t tell if it’s real or fake?” Lionel said with a cool gaze, his tone slightly stern. “I’m not out of my wits” 

“I’m just wondering how Oneida managed to get Scarlet Jade Chess. You guys just can’t keep your hands clean. You stole something from others Don’t think Oneida would do the same,” said Lionel. 

He was actually standing up for Oneida. 

At the same time, Lionel humiliated Bella again. 

At these words, Bella frowned, and her face turned from livid to pale, a spectacle of emotions. 

“Grandpa.” At this moment, Oneida called out softly to Lionel, her face still tinged with a smile, looking bright and cheerful “Honestly, I play chess, too. I’m not particularly skilled in many things, but playing chess happens to be my forte.” 

If Simon were here, hearing Oneida say this, he’d definitely be shocked and object. 

What did Oneida mean by “not skilled in many things“? 

Could she actually say that with a straight face? 

“You play chess too?” Lionel asked, his face lighting up with excitement. 

Oneida nodded and replied, “Yes. And I had the fortune to play against Jade before. She saw my talent and gifted me the Scarlet Jade Chess.” 

This was an explanation Oneida had prepared in advance. 

Her sudden unveiling of the precious Scarlet Jade Chess was bound to stir controversy. 

So, she had already crafted the entire backstory in her mind. 

“Have you met Jade?” 

Lionel suddenly stood up with wide eyes. 

His expression was a mix of surprise, joy, and a hint of envy. 

“You lucky girl,” Lionel sighed and said, a bit helplessly. “I’ve tried so hard just to meet Jade, but never could… 

When Oneida heard this, she unnaturally pursed her lips.

It seemed that she had treated Lionel before. 

“I guess I was just lucky.” 

Oneida nodded, feeling guilty. 

“Come on, join me for a game of chess!” Lionel’s eyes suddenly lit up. He waved at Oneida excitedly and said, “Since Jade praised your chess skills, it must mean you’re quite the player. Let’s have a game. 

“Let me see what you’ve really got!” 

On a whim, Lionel headed towards the back of the dining table. 

Everyone was caught off guard. 

Dinner hadn’t even finished, and Lionel wanted to play chess first! 

“Grandpa, why don’t we have dinner first?” Jonas said after a moment of silence, trying to persuade Lionel 

“Let them play. Don’t dampen Grandpa’s spirits,” Karen, however, disagreed with Jonas‘ suggestion, smiling lightly. “Today’s Grandpa’s birthday, so he should do whatever he feels like.” 

With that, Karen looked up at Lionel and said, “Grandpa, I’ll watch you play.” 

Meanwhile, Oneida and Lionel had already moved to the sitting area beside the dining table. 

Soon, the servants brought out a chessboard and set it up on the table in the center. 

“Shall we play with this Scarlet Jade Chess?” 

Oneida nodded and replied, “Alright.” 

Lionel immediately took out the Scarlet Jade Chess, grabbing the black pieces while Oneida took the white. 

Others, including Jackson in his wheelchair, gathered around to watch. 

Only one person remained seated motionlessly next to the dining table. 

It was Roderick. 

He bowed his head, but his eyes 

were 

already shut. 

Under the influence of alcohol, Roderick had fallen asleep quietly. 

Otherwise, there’s no way Roderick would have remained silent at the dinner table. 

Of course, at this moment, no one was paying attention to Roderick who had already fallen asleep. 

They were already focused on the two players engaged in the coming chess game. 

Some were holding their breath in silence, some indifferent and quiet, and others appeared as though they were watching an exciting show unfold. 

Bella and Claude were in the latter group. 

They were curious to see if Oneida really knew how to play chess. 

The game between Lionel and Oneida had already kicked off at the table. 

From the start, Lionel launched an aggressive attack. 

Each of his moves seemed to target Oneida’s weaknesses. 

However, Oneida played with a calm and easy demeanor. 

She resisted stubbornly for a while, but in the end, she was outmaneuvered by Lionel. 

The first round ended. 

Oneida lost.

Seeing Oneida lose so miserably, both Bella and Claude couldn’t help but reveal gloating smiles. 

“Did Jade really praise your skills? Well, you’re just so–so,” Claude sneered disdainfully.
