Why did I lose to Audrey? How can she play chess better than I?&#8217; Just now, she had gladly taken Audrey&#8217;s challenge and had the confidence to beat the pants off Audrey so that she could win Madisyn&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<p>What she did not expect was that Audrey&#8217;s chess skills were so damn good. It was a slap in her face.<\/p>\n<p>How hateful Audrey was!<\/p>\n<p>Previously, when Madisyn and Brisa were playing chess, Brisa gave in to Madisyn on purpose. However, Audrey defeated Madisyn even faster.<\/p>\n<p>After losing one round, Madisyn was unconvinced. So they played another round of chess. However, Madisyn lost again.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee chuckled. &#8220;Madisyn, I&#8217;ve told you that Elliana is a strong chess player. What do you think? You always said that she was a bad chess player in the past. Now she can defeat you. She must have been improving her chess in the past years, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was stunned by Kylee&#8217;s words.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey, in particular, said awkwardly, &#8220;Of course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kylee also saw the strange expressions of the others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s wrong? Why do you all wear strange expressions on your face? Did I say something wrong?&#8221; Kylee looked at everyone in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey coughed and said, &#8220;Grandma, there is something on your face.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey reached out and removed a leaf from Kylee&#8217;s temples as if she was performing a magic trick.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, look at this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kylee smiled when she saw the leaf.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee took the leaves and said, &#8220;It&#8217;s just a leaf. Look at how shocked you are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The others agreed and exchanged glances. They didn&#8217;t dare to mention anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Coincidentally, the servant came over and said that the dinner was ready. Everyone moved to the dining room.<\/p>\n<p>Over the dinner table, the atmosphere was very harmonious.<\/p>\n<p>Kylee kept picking food for Audrey. She always had a smile on her face when she looked at Audrey. She doted on Audrey. Even Bryson never received such treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing how Kylee doted on Audrey, the dissatisfaction in Caroline&#8217;s eyes deepened.<\/p>\n<p>Elliana was supposed to receive her grandma&#8217;s love like this, but Audrey had snatched away everything that belonged to her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the more Kylee doted on Audrey, the angrier Caroline became.<\/p>\n<p>Brisa wasn&#8217;t happy at watching how Kylee doted on Audrey either.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why Audrey had received Kylee&#8217;s favor was only because of Elliana. Audrey was nothing more than an impostor.<\/p>\n<p>How could such a woman be the Young Madam of the Cordova family?<\/p>\n<p>Kylee was so stupid to spoil such an impostor.<\/p>\n<p>Brisa thought viciously.<\/p>\n<p>Would Kylee still love Audrey so much if she knew that Audrey was an impostor and kept lying to her all the time?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Kylee would not!<\/p>\n<p>However, unless it were necessary, Brisa would not blow the whistle. After all, Kylee was Bryson&#8217;s biological grandmother. She wanted her support to be with Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>However, if Audrey didn&#8217;t split up with Bryson, she would have no other choice but to Kylee.<\/p>\n<p>Over the meal, Madisyn admired Audrey even more, and Caroline also disliked Audrey even more.<\/p>\n<p>After dinner, Brisa got up and said goodbye. &#8220;Mr. Cordova, Mrs. Cordova, thank you so much for having me over! I&#8217;ve to go now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Brisa smiled awkwardly. &#8220;I&#8217;m leaving now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then, she walked away from the villa angrily.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey stayed in the guest room that she had used before. This time, it was different because Bryson&#8217;s parents were in the Cordova Mansion.<\/p>\n<p>She tossed and turned for quite a while.<\/p>\n<p>She suddenly felt thirsty, but finding the cup beside the bed was empty.<\/p>\n<p>She had to go downstairs to fetch some water in the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>The lights in the living hall on the first floor went out.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey proficiently walked into the kitchen in darkness.<\/p>\n<p>After filling a cup of water, Audrey turned around and was about to return to her room.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, she saw Caroline standing outside the kitchen door.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline was in her home wear and looked a little sleepy.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as Audrey turned around, their gazes met.<\/p>\n<p>When Caroline saw Audrey, her expression changed.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled and looked at Caroline. She looked at the teacup in Caroline&#8217;s hand and said, &#8220;Mrs. Cordova, do you want to drink some water? Let me help you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey reached out and tried to fetch Caroline&#8217;s teacup as she spoke.<\/p>\n<p>Caroline coldly moved her hand away. &#8220;You are not qualified to pour me a cup of tea!&#8221;lightnoveldaily.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3727","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
