Brandon smiled . “ Indeed . It’s not bad at all . ”
Upon finishing his words , he asked again , “ Aren’t you busy with your painting ? Why are you here ? ”
“ Well , I didn’t want you to think that I wasn’t a good host , so I came over to take a look . ”
“ Go take care of your stuff ; don’t disturb me while I watch the match . ”
However , Harry stayed .
When the Shaws and Lockets heard Brandon and Harry praise Wynn , smiles spread across their faces .
A lot of people there knew Wynn , and many felt both envious and jealous of her .
After all , Wynn had the looks and the credentials . And now , thanks to her chess skills , she caught the attention of Harry and Brandon .
Besides , Wynn’s charm had earned Trevor’s affection , helping both the Shaws and Lockets rise effortlessly in
status .
What parent wouldn’t want a daughter like that ?
With envy , someone remarked to the Lockets and Shaws , “ What a fantastic daughter and granddaughter you have .
“ Exactly ! ” the others agreed , then asked , “ How did you manage to raise such an impressive child ? Madam Locket , Mrs. Locket , we’re all friends – care to share any advice ? ”
Soon , a few of the prominent ladies gathered around the Lockets and Shaws .
The praise and admiration for Wynn made Ruby proud as well .
She glanced over at Celeste , smiling as she whispered to Lillan , “ She’s clearly out of Wynn’s league , huh ? ” Lilian’s expression darkened , as though she was bothered by the comparison between her daughter and Celeste .
Erin and Harvey heard what Ruby had just said as well .
Then , they both looked at Celeste .
Wynn truly outshone Celeste in every regard .
They shifted their gazes back onto Wynn , looking so tender and affectionate .
Just then , Wynn stood up . She turned to Brandon and said , “ Sorry , I lost . ”
With a kind smile , Brandon remarked , “ Losing doesn’t matter . You’ve done well . Not everyone is like that young man from the Flemings , after all . Besides , it’s not often you meet someone who’s both scholarly and skilled at chess , like you .
Hearing his compliments , Wynn grinned . “ You’re too kind , Mr. Keller Senior . ”
Brandon asked , “ Do you want another go ? ”
Wynn shook her head . “ One attempt is enough . Let’s give someone else a chance . ”
Hence , Brandon asked again , “ Does anyone else want to try ? ”

Beck glanced over to Trevor , only to catch him holding a chess piece , staring at him .
Just then , Celeste stepped forward . She looked at Trevor and asked , “ Care to play a match with me ? ”
Trevor paused for a second , staring at her .
Surprised , Beck turned his gaze away and looked at Celeste
He couldn’t believe that Celeste would take the initiative to challenge Trevor to a game of chess in this situation .
Beck wasn’t the only one surprised ; the Lockets and Shaws , particularly Wynn , were even more astonished because she had never expected her to do so .
She figured that with Celeste’s personality , she’d never openly ask to play chess with Trevor in front of everyone .
Yet , she did .
The Shaws and Lockets all furrowed their brows .
Lennox said , “ I should’ve warned her earlier , had I known she was going to do this . ”
