Chapter 444 Introduce Her to Miguel

After observing how the game of chess was, Veronica started to provide counsel while seated next to Elizabeth. She easily won the first round under her cooperation with Elizabeth.

Smugly, she peered at Matthew and suggested, “It is so boring playing it this way. How about we turn it up a notch by sticking papers?”

“Haha! That is true. It will be boring without a bet!” Elizabeth agreed as she chuckled.

When Matthew saw Veronica’s triumphant expression because she won a game, a flash of light suddenly appeared in his eyes. “Sure. We will do as you say.”

He then turned to the servant at the side and instructed them to bring a few pieces of paper and a bowl of water, to which the servant nodded and quickly went to do so.

After they brought the requested items, Matthew tore off a strip of paper, dipped it in water, and plastered it to his chin.

However, Veronica was the one who lost during the second round.

Not only that…

She lost eight consecutive rounds after that.

By the time Miguel had rushed over, he couldn’t help laughing when he saw how Veronica’s face was covered in paper strips in the living room.

“What are you guys playing? Looks interesting,” he smilingly commented while walking toward them to join in on the fun.

Matthew continued to study the chessboard before he proceeded to move his Rook and King.

Veronica’s King had nowhere to move to this time, which resulted in her loss yet again.

Upset, she frowned and demanded, “No! Let’s have another round!”

For some reason, she was like a gambler who refused to admit defeat, and was unhappy about losing to Matthew.

“You are a sore loser, aren’t you?” Matthee provoked her with a smile on his face, his eyebrows raised.
