Chapter 542 Narrowly Beating
CEO's Mysterious Fiancee
âYou havenât said last time, who did you give the set of jade chess pieces I gave you!â
This sentence was like a bomb that exploded in the crowd.
Everyone was so shocked that they couldnât speak. It sounded like Carroll had a close relationship with Paigeâ¦
Could it be that the jade chess set Carroll was talking about was the same one whose sky-high price had so shocked home and abroad last time?
It was said that the chess pieces were very rare. Those with gaps, uneven color, cracks, too small pieces, etc. couldnât be selected as polishing materialsâ¦
It took three years just for the selection of materials.
Next, it took another three years to make these 361 chess pieces, all of which were handmade, each worth 30 thousand dollars.
After it was made, it attracted countless chess collectors to compete, and finally, it was bought by Carroll at a price of 28.8 million dollars, and it was regarded as a treasureâ¦
But what he meant seemed to be that after he gave this set of sky-high chess to Paige, Paige gave it away to someone else?!
How dared Paige?!
That was the chess sent by Carroll!!
Not to mention priceless, even this kind of affection shouldnât be spoiled like this!
She was so ungrateful!!
Paige smiled and asked with great interest, âCarroll, youâre now here to blame me?â
That set of chess pieces was what Carroll lost to her when she competed with Carroll!
That was her winnings.
Then it was hers, and she had the right to decide whether she kept it or send it away.
âThat set of chess pieces is my favorite. I donât care. You have to play a game of chess with me today!â
Carroll threatened her.
âHere?â Paige raised her eyes and looked around. There were already a lot of people watching, which could be described as flocked.
Carroll beamed with joy, âRight here!!â
After finally catching her, of course, he had to enjoy the fun first!
Alas, at his height, it was too difficult to find someone who was evenly matched to play chessâ¦
âAre you sure?â Paige smiled playfully.
Last time he lost the chess game, there were only a few housekeepers watching, but this time there were so many students present. What if he still lostâ¦
He was not afraid of losing face??
âVery sure!â Carroll was full of confidence this time, and lowered his voice and whispered in Paigeâs ear, âI have practiced at home a lot in the past few months!!â
Just to carry out his vengeance and win her once.
Paige thought it was funny, âThenâ¦what are you betting this time?â
âNo betting. No bettingâ¦â Carroll waved his hands repeatedly and said, âI have nothing to do, just play.â
He could not bear to lose any more of his treasures to her, lest she should give them to someone else soon afterâ¦
Then he would surely have a heart attack.
At this time, the expressions of the people around him could no longer be described as shockâ¦
A well-known chess master, Carroll, actually came to the backstage of the University of Chicago in person, and wanted Paige to play a game of chess with him??
How good was Paige at chess??
Although she won Kailyn in the competition just now, it was not enough to let Carroll think highly of her.
On the other hand, Kailyn clenched her fists even more, unable to believe it.
Why?!
Why were Malachi and Carroll so optimistic about Paige and respecting her like thisâ¦
The point was, this girl was raised in the Tate family since she was a child, so how could she get in touch with such a big man as Carroll!!
Kailyn was a little annoyed, because even her teacher Lane didnât have the chance to see Carroll anytime, let alone a little girl like Paigeâ¦
Carroll asked the vice-principal Deven to get the chess pieces. Then he sat down, and began to compete with Paige.
The contest between the strong made people dumbfounded. Just at the beginning, the two were evenly matched, which was very interesting.
This was chess!
That was what made it interesting!
Carroll enjoyed it and was very happy.
And Paigeâs manner was not indifferent, as it had been with Kailyn just now, but interested and significant, as if she were playing chess with an old friend. She looked at the lovely Carroll with a lot of leisure and interest.
âTeehee, take you one!â Carroll was so glad that he could take a piece of her, it was better than taking a hundred from anyone else!
Paige couldnât help laughing. He was amused after only one piece, and it showed how long he had been without a winâ¦
Everyone thought that Paige would be defeated, but as time passed, the two were still tied, with equal strengthâ¦
Where did this Paige learn fromâ¦
To be able to confront Carroll for such a long timeâ¦
Was she human?
The people from University of Illinois at Chicago were stunned at this moment. No.1 scholar could become the opponent of Carroll!
They had been playing chess for half an hour, and still there was no winner. The two captured the same number of pieces!
How on earth did she do it?
Carroll was secretly happy, âTeehee, I havenât practiced for nothing in the past few months, and I can even tie with her!â
âYouâve been so busy recently that you donât care about playing chess anymore. Look, how long has it been since you practicedâ¦â
According to her level, she could beat him in at least half an hour.
But nowâ¦
Just as Carroll was complacent, he was taken by Paige three pieces. His eyes widened all of a sudden, âYou, you, youâ¦â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Carroll stared at the chessboard, and suddenly realized that though he was very secretive, she found a place to sneak in!
Next, he devoted 100% of his energyâ¦
And the other side.
Gideon Jonathan, the chairman of the University of Illinois at Chicago Student Union, looked at the time and was a little worried.
It stood to reason that those people brought by Paige should have finished the competition, but after so long, they hadnât come to show their facesâ¦
Could it be that the people she led were wiped out and suffered a sensational defeat, so she stayed there to comfort a group of crying people??
Thinking of this, he sent Paige a Line message asking, âAre you done with your work? Do you need any help?â
Leana hugged Bessâs arm nervously, âWhy isnât Paige here yet? Iâm a little nervousâ¦â
âMe tooâ¦. â
It would be their turn soon. Paige said that before their competition, she would come to see them in person and cheer them on.
But now, Paige didnât reply to their Line, nor answered the phone. It couldnât be over there, they had suffered a sensational defeat, right??
âThis, this, thisâ¦â At this time, Carroll saw his pieces being taken by Paige again, and his eyes were eager.
Although Paige didnât practice at home during this time, she understood what Carroll was thinking, and knew what kind of defense he would set upâ¦
So she deliberately let Carroll think that he had successfully defended. Then, she made a surprise attack from the other way, went directly to the place where he was not defending, and took his pieces.
Carroll couldnât be more regretful. He shouldnât have taken that step just now!!
After another half an hour, Paige narrowly won by one piece.
Everyone in the audience was shocked, but they didnât dare to applaud, for fear of hurting Carrollâs self-
esteemâ¦
Actually lost to Paige??
Carroll was about to say it was wonderful, when suddenly a girl stepped out and questioned it.
