Chapter 1506

“The real chess set is now held firmly in Mr. Albright's hands. Queena said that she had never gifted

Serena with a chess set, let alone mentored her, so all the time it’s Serena who lied and made a fool of

us?” The room seemed to swell with disbelief. Could Serena, the daughter of the Collins family, have

woven such a deceitful tale?

The revelation was nothing short of a bombshell.

"Indeed, Queena is quite the craftswoman. She once made me a set," Eugene’s voice was laced with a

touch of pleasure.

The set had been a playful project for Queena at the time, but from the very first glance, Eugene had

coveted it for himself. Fortunately, the generous young lady had presented it to him on the spot.

That particular chess set, her maiden creation, was still treasured in the safe confines of his vault.

"Serena, say something." Lindsay pressed, her patience waning; what on earth was going on?

"Queena, is she really your protege or not?"

"Is there some feud between you two that led to this mess, or have you never actually taken her under

your wing? Is she lying?"

Everyone seemed to be looking to Arabella for the truth of the matter.

Before Arabella could respond, Jarvis chimed in with a sly smile, "Knowing Queena as I do, she's far

too busy to tutor anyone, let alone take on a protege."

The crowd was struck by yet another wave of astonishment. Mr. Jarvis' words implied that it was

indeed Serena who had been weaving lies all along. Queena had never had the time to guide her.

"A lady from a rich family, lying through her teeth."

"Is it really necessary to puff herself up like that?"

"I can't believe how vain she is."

"She didn't think Queena would be here to call her bluff. It's utterly laughable."

Alma, though shocked and surprised at Arabella being Queena, couldn't help but revel in Serena's

embarrassment. It seemed Serena's arrogance was finally being met with the slap of reality it so

deserved.

In the crowd, the renowned professional chess player Mona suddenly understood why Arabella had not

offered her an opportunity to learn, not taken her as a protege. She stood before Queena herself! How

could she, even with her credentials, hope to catch the eye of such a master?

The Chess Association's Secretary-General, Atwood, felt a burning sensation creep across his cheeks.

He had been oblivious to the young woman's true identity and had foolishly hoped to add her on

WhatsApp to bridge a connection.

The other guests who had been vying for Arabella's mentorship for their children now felt a sense of

embarrassment. Arabella was Queena, a name that stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Albright, who

had even hinted that Queena's skill surpassed his own.

How could such a distinguished master randomly take on a protege or casually provide guidance?

At that moment, Serena massaged her temples and said weakly, "I apologize. I'm feeling a bit unwell. I

must excuse myself."

As she attempted to leave, a couple of guests blocked her path.

"You spread rumors about being Queena's protege, and now that you're caught, you think you can just

walk away?"

"Your chess skills are so lacking, and you almost tarnished Queena's reputation. It's generous enough

that she hasn't held you accountable; don't you think you owe her an apology?"

"Not even a simple 'sorry'? It's hard to believe how the Collins family raised you."

"Do your parents even know about this?"

Serena's eyes flickered with concern at the mention of her parents, fearing the scandal might reach

them.

"I'm sorry."
