Chapter 1502

The last time anything caused such a stir was when Mr. Albright unveiled his outrageously expensive

set of chess pieces at a high-society gathering. Rumor had it that just selecting the materials took three

years, and another three years were spent meticulously crafting the pieces by hand, each valued at a

whopping 20 thousand dollars.

And now, the owners of the world's two most extravagantly priced chess sets stood among them.

"Serena, why don't you show us your prized chess set?" Lindsay attempted to put Serena in the

spotlight. After all, the woman who had snatched away Serena's fiancé was right there; it was time to

overshadow her rival's prestige!

Serena forced a polite smile, tugging at the corner of her mouth, "That thing's massive; how could I

possibly carry it around with me all the time?"

"But you just showed me a photo on your phone, didn't you? Such a valuable chess set is a rare sight

for many. Come on, give us all a little treat and show it."

Lindsay meant no harm, but Serena inwardly cursed, wishing she could just rip Lindsay's mouth off.

"Did Queena really give you such an expensive gift?"

"Then you must be her favorite protege."

The crowd internally sighed with envy; it seemed they had no hope of becoming Queena's protege.

"Why not bring out the chess set for us to see?"

"I'd love to have a peek, too."

"I've only heard about its worth but never seen it in person."

"This would be the perfect chance for me to lay my eyes on it."

Serena maintained her smile, "My phone's about to die. If you guys really want to see it, I'll post it on

my social media later, and you can all take your time admiring it."

The crowd thought she was reluctant to share and were about to drop the subject.

Unexpectedly, Eugene had his set of costly chess pieces brought out and, in full view of everyone,

asked, "Serena, is this the set you were talking about?"

Everyone stared, one by one their faces registering shock.

How did Mr. Albright come to possess this chess set?

"I've seen this set before when it was with the collector Tobias. I saw it at his place, and after Queena

won the championship, Tobias gifted it to her!"

"Mr. Albright, wasn't this set given to Serena by Queena? How come it's in your possession?"

"Did Serena give it to you?"

"What on earth is going on here?"

Serena's face went deathly pale; she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. How could

this expensive chess set appear here?

"Ha, what a coincidence, this set was indeed a gift from Queena to me!"

Eugene's words sent shockwaves through the crowd, who instinctively turned to look at Serena.

Serena feigned composure, despite the panic flooding her inside.

"Queena knew of my love for chess and gifted it to me the very day she acquired it!"

The crowd was hit with another round of disbelief, their eyes darting back to Serena.

Where did Serena's supposed pricey chess set come from?

Was she lying?

She actually didn’t have a chess set, and Queena had never given her one; was she deceiving them?

Even Lindsay looked at Serena in confusion, wondering what the real story was.

There was only supposed to be one set of such valuable chess pieces, right?

"The set I have," Serena maintained her composed facade, trying to smile appropriately, and calmly

explained, "is different from this one. It was personally crafted by my mentor Queena. It's priceless to

me, so when I spoke of it to my friends, I referred to it as a 'priceless chess set', not the one you're

thinking of."

The guests had their moment of realization; it all made sense now.
