Chapter 218
From then on, Wynn started paying more attention to Celeste’s moves.
When she saw Celeste resolve the tricky situation Trevor had set up for her in a way she hadn’t anticipated, she felt a sense of unease.
Hearing Brandon’s praise, her heart sank even lower.
Celeste was fully absorbed in the game, blocking out everything around her.
She was holding her ground for now. However, she knew that winning was almost out of reach.
Thus, she paused for a second, looking at Trevor,
Trevor made another move.
And Celeste halted her movements.
Harry chuckled. “This is incredible. I never imagined I’d witness such an amazing game here, especially played by two young ones. Well done!”
Brandon was frustrated since he broke his concentration. “Shush, shush!”
Harry was at a loss for words.
After a few minutes, Celeste made her move, subtly shifting the game back to her advantage.
Two minutes later, Trevor countered with a move.
Then, Celeste set the chess piece down and said, “I lost.”
A few moves could still be made, but the result was already clear.
It was pointless to keep on playing,
With that, she stood up and was ready to leave. Immediately, Trevor asked, “How about a rematch?
After a brief hesitation, Celeste sat back down.
Harry smiled as he commented, “She looks so calm and collected, but here she is, challenging Trevor to a game in
a situation like this. She probably doesn’t get to play with someone like him very often, so she doesn’t want to miss this opportunity, does she?”
He was speaking to Matthias, who also picked up on it.
Hence Matthias nodded in reply.
Harry spoke again. “I bet you can’t beat her.”
Despite Matthias being another prodigy in their social circle, second only to Trevor, he agreed.
Matthias replied bluntly, “Yeah, I can’t.”
Before this, Celeste had always been playing chess with Zachary.
Though she hadn’t won a single game, Zachary’s reactions and comments showed that Celeste was already a formidable player.
And she was so young.

Zachary, on the other hand, had never lost a game since his teenage years.
Not many, regardless of age or gender, could earn such praise from Zachary.
Clearly, Celeste was quite skilled at playing chess.
During their conversation, Celeste and Trevor had already tidied up the chessboard.
He asked, “Would you like to go first?”
“No, you go ahead.”
She lost several pieces to him earlier, and she was eager to discover her limits.
Just as Harry guessed, she hadn’t played chess in a while. Aside from Zachary, she hadn’t come across a tough opponent in ages.
She really didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
To her, Trevor was just a mere chess opponent now, nothing else.
She wouldn’t shy away from playing with him just because he was Trevor.
Upon hearing her, Trevor didn’t insist and took the first move this time.
They kept playing in silence, not exchanging a word.
For some reason, Harry and Brandon both sensed an unspoken connection between the two while watching the game. It felt like they had known each other for a long time
