Chapter 151
“You little bitch, you wouldn't call me senior before, but chose to do so right after my defeat.
Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?” Rebecca cursed inwardly, “Just you wait! I’m going to make you suffer.”
Rebecca maintained her gentle smile until the live stream ended.
Jack timed his entrance perfectly at the end of the broadcast, clapping his hands and announcing, “In honor of Rebecca's triumphant first day back, we're knocking off early! Dinner’s on me—we’re hitting up Joe's Crab Shack for some lobsters!”
Silence fell upon the room while everyone exchanged awkward glances.
Rebecca’s expression darkened terrifyingly.
Carey sidled up to Jack, tugging at his sleeve.
“What’s wrong?” Jack asked, puzzled. Weren’t early knock-offs and lobsters something to cheer about?
Carey whispered, “Ms. Morris lost.”
“What?” Jack was stunned. It hadn't even occurred to him that Rebecca could lose!
“You lost to Griffin?” Jack queried.
Carey nodded.
Jack's face was a picture of shock.
How could this be? Rebecca was so formidable; how could she possibly lose?
It took a moment for Jack to gather his thoughts before he approached Rebecca with concern. “Rebecca, are you feeling alright?”
Rebecca didn’t answer Jack directly but instead said, “I suspect Griffin was cheating.”
Rebecca had a system to help her! There was no way Griffin could outdo the system!
So, there was only one explanation - Griffin was cheating!
Yes! That had to be it!
Jack narrowed his eyes, “You might be onto something.” Although Griffin was a decent player, in Jack's mind, Rebecca was top tier! And Rebecca was a grandmaster—how could she possibly lose to a nobody?
If this wasn’t cheating, what was?
Rebecca continued, “Not just cheating, I think Griffin’s also a freak! Just like that Snow White from before, why else would she hide her face?”
Snow White was a well-known streamer.
Even more popular than Griffin, she never showed her face, claiming to be a beauty, maintaining an air of mystery.
Then one day, an accident with her camera revealed Snow White's face, and her fans discovered that not only was she far from beautiful, she was also a fifty-year-old woman!
The incident caused a sensation online.
Suddenly, the name Snow White was on everyone’s lips.
So, this Griffin, who also wouldn’t show her face, must be hideous too!
After all, the online world is all about looks. If Griffin was truly beautiful, why would she hide her face?
With this thought, the corners of Rebecca’s mouth curled slightly.
Griffin was ugly and a cheater! Once this news got out, what chance would Griffin have to recover?
Just the cheating scandal alone would be enough to bury her!
Nowadays, people have very firm values; cheating is unforgivable!
Little bitch. Daring to challenge Rebecca? Completely out of her depth!
Rebecca turned to Jack, “Jack, you know what to do now, right?”
Jack nodded, “Rebecca, you always think on your feet.”
The next day, Rebecca was live on time.
She looked a bit off, with red eyes, as if she hadn't slept well.
[Rebecca, did you have trouble sleeping?]
Rebecca responded with surprise, “Oh? You can tell? Am I looking that bad today?”
[Pretty bad! But still very beautiful!]
[The fairest of them all! Not like some court jester!]
Rebecca continued, “I’m not skilled enough at chess; I didn’t want to disappoint you all again, so I stayed up last night studying some chess strategies. Our ancestors were truly wise.”
[Rebecca’s so hardworking!] Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
[Rebecca, you didn’t lose yesterday. It was that cheating scoundrel!]
Rebecca, feigning confusion, said, “Cheating scoundrel? I wasn’t aware, what’s this about?”
[Griffin’s the cheater! And a total freak too!]
Rebecca replied, “You must be mistaken about her. She doesn’t seem like the type to cheat. I just lost once. Don’t worry; I can handle it. You don’t need to worry about me!”
