Chapter 1019

Alma recounted the day's events in a nutshell, not forgetting to add a few sarcastic remarks.

"Mom, do you think Arabella’s lost her marbles? She's got such a great opportunity in front of her, and

she doesn't know how to appreciate it. Either she's really sick in the head, or she's just putting on airs,

dangling Mr. Eugene like a carrot, thinking she's something special."

Maybe she really thought she's a gem. That's why she liked to put on that aloof, disdainful demeanor.

"Bloody fool.” Beverly poured herself another cup of coffee and took a slow sip before asking, "With so

many people present, why do you think Mr.

Eugene deliberately brought up the subject of succession?"

“What else could it be? He just wants everyone to know that Arabella has him as a strong backing, so

they can't offend her easily!" Alma was even more exasperated at that point. She couldn't understand

why Mr. Eugene had set his sights on Arabella.

Beverly spoke with a refined air, "No, his real goal is only one, and that is to put indirect pressure on

Arabella. He was certain Arabella wouldn't embarrass him by refusing in front of everyone, so he

deliberately brought it up."

But what he didn't expect was that Arabella didn't talk about succession or refusal. She just sidetracked

the conversation.

Beverly thought, that girl was quite interesting, facing such an olive branch and dealing with it in such a

manner.

"She's not stupid. Either she has too many olive branches to handle, or she doesn't need anyone else's

help."

In Beverly's opinion, Arabella was a person who kept her cards close to her chest. She had previously

warned her daughter not to mess with Arabella unnecessarily.

With her daughter's level of sophistication, she was no match for Arabella.

Like today's situation, her other strong backing, Mr. Eugene was revealed in front of everyone.

How many more were there that haven't come out?

No one knew.

"But Mom, I don't understand why did Mr. Eugene choose her?"

Alma thought she had some talent for playing chess. Her previous teachers all praised her as intelligent

and capable, a person with great potential. They said that she could definitely make a name for herself

in the chess world in the future.

If she had received guidance from Mr. Eugene when she was younger, she might not be any worse

than Arabella now!

“Sometimes, timing, location, and people are all important factors.” Beverly still insisted, "Come back,

let's try again tonight."

Such a good opportunity was in front of them, and they couldn't just give up knowing the difficulties.

Arabella hasn't given Mr. Eugene a definite answer yet, Mr. Eugene could still be looking for better

candidates.

Nothing was set in stone yet.

Alma didn't necessarily have to be better than Arabella, but if she was indeed talented and diligent, why

would Mr. Eugene refuse her?

Even if she couldn't become his favorite student, having guidance from Mr.

Eugene would still be much better than guidance from anyone else.

After hearing her mother's words, Alma also thought it made sense, "I'll go back right away."

When she passed the backstage, she happened to see Serena, surrounded by a group of friends,

being the center of attention.

Serena was in a great mood initially, but when she received a WhatsApp message from Martha,

learning that David had given the concert tickets to Arabella, she almost dropped her phone.

[I just found out, too. The lady wanted a ticket for her best friend's daughter.

She called David, and David said he had given them away. When she asked who to, it turns out it was

Arabella.]

“Serena, you look so pale. Do you want to go to the infirmary?"

“Are you okay? Your smile looks forced. If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself."

“Shall I take you to the infirmary?"
