Ronald looked at Jase and remarked. "I have to say, the Chavez family must have done a lot of good deeds in their past life. Jeremiah is such a great kid, and without your support, he's made it to where he is now. And now he's found such an excellent wife! These days, all anyone can talk about in the Betrico courtyard is your granddaughter-in-law. Even my youngest son can't stop bringing it up-I'm about to get calluses in my ears from hearing it!"
Walter set down his coffee cup. "My granddaughter is the same. Your granddaughter-in-law has become her idol. She even joined some online fan club-it's all the rage! I suggested bringing her over, but she insisted that idols need distance and mystery, so she just won't come. I really can't understand what the younger generation is thinking. But your granddaughter-in-law is truly impressive. I watched the match from start to finish; her chess skills are extraordinary!"
Walter, who had studied chess for a lifetime, considered himself a skilled player. He had learned a lot from Yvette and Robin's match. 'Yvette is so young yet has such talent, especially her mindset. It's rare at her age!
Jase waved his hand, looking indifferent. "That kid was just playing around. Who knew she'd win?"
Walter and Ronald couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes. This guy thinks he's fat and gets all puffed up... Seriously... Does he even know what 'just playing around' means? If that dead Robin heard this, he'd probably be furious!"
Ronald nodded, saying, "I heard your granddaughter-in-law is also participating in fencing. Didn't Jeremiah sign up for it? Why was she switched out at the last minute? I wanted to ask you about that." There had been a lot of rumors about this in the past few days, but not many people knew Yvette had competed in fencing. Only a few were aware.
Jase took a sip of coffee, and his expression darkened a bit; the atmosphere around him chilled slightly.
Ronald and Walter exchanged glances and knew something had happened. Otherwise, the competition wouldn't have changed participants; that wasn't the Chavez family style.
Jase explained. "Kaiden had the Steel Serpents kidnap Aurora to ensure a win, and he specifically called for Jeremiah, which is why Yvette had to step in at the last minute."
Walter and Ronald were slightly surprised. They hadn't expected such a thing to happen. 'What a despicable way for Ybaulla to handle a match-truly disgusting!
Ronald spat angrily and stood up, fuming. "Those Ybaulla people dare to act so recklessly in Clusia! Has Jeremiah caught them? We can't let them off the hook. They must know that Clusia cannot be defeated by tricks, and it's definitely not a place they can just bully!" Seeing his agitation, Walter quickly got up to calm him down. "Calm down! You need your heart! Didn't Kaiden die yesterday? How could Jeremiah let go of someone who harmed his mother?"
Ronald froze at the mention of Kaiden. 'How could I forget that Kaiden was found dead in the hotel? No doubt Jeremiah did it-good job!' Ronald took a sip of coffee to steady himself and said, "Jeremiah's approach is always clean and decisive-good job." The three of them didn't need to hold back; Ronald bluntly pointed out that Jeremiah had killed Kaiden.
Jase looked at the two and shook his head. "It wasn't Jeremiah; it was my granddaughter-in-law."
In the next moment, Ronald's coffee cup slipped from his hand and crashed to the floor, but he didn't even notice. Walter's cup didn't fall, but he stared blankly at Jase, both of them gasping in shock. They truly hadn't expected it to be Yvette's doing. 'No wonder Jeremiah is so fierce-he found a wife just as tough. She kills without hesitation; you can see that temper runs in the family.'
At the door, James had just walked in and heard Jase say Yvette killed Kaiden; he stood frozen in place. The three were turned away from him, completely unaware of his arrival, Eventually, it was James who moved first; he shouted, "What did you say? You said Yvette killed Kaiden?"

Ronald and Walter exchanged glances. "Oh no, this old guy is about to throw a fit again."
Jase frowned and asked, "Why do you keep showing up out of nowhere every day?"

James sat right next to Jase and stared at him. "You said Yvette killed Kaiden-was she hurt? I thought Jeremiah seemed capable, but why did he let a little girl do the killing?" After a moment, he looked Jase over and said ungraciously. "I thought Jeremiah was better than you-looks good but can't handle crucial moments?"
Jase's face flushed with embarrassment. "This old fool says whatever comes to his mind. At this age, does he even know what shame is?' Jase shot back. "Owens, who are you saying can't handle it?"
Seeing the two of them going at it, Ronald realized he needed to intervene or they'd end up in a full-blown fight. A couple of years ago, they had a petty squabble over something trivial, and they both threw away their dignity and canes, fighting like women, and ended up with bruised faces, hiding from everyone for days.
James rolled up his sleeves, showing he wasn't backing down. "I'm talking about you! The Chavez family is well-off; why let a little girl do the dirty work? What if she gets hurt?"
Jase felt more and more uncomfortable with his attitude. 'What does my granddaughter-in-law's injury have to do with this old guy? Why is he so riled up? It's utterly ridiculous.' Jase was getting angry; he tossed his cane aside. 'If I don't teach this old man a lesson today, he won't know why the flowers are so red.
James and Jase locked eyes and, relying on their years of understanding, started hurling insults at each other.
Jase said, "I'm handsome, and I've been good-looking since I was young. If you're jealous, just admit it. Don't twist it into something about my granddaughter-in-law!"
James went for a sneak attack, landing a punch on Jase's chest with some force. After he hit him, he jumped back a couple of steps, keeping a wary eye on Jase in case he retaliated. With hands on his hips, James said, "So what if you're handsome? You're just an old face; no matter how good-looking, it's all wrinkles!"
After the sneak attack, Jase looked up at James. 'This old man is just like he was when he was young-when he couldn't argue, he'd always resort to sneak attacks. Jase took two steps forward and, while talking, caught James off guard and kicked him in the leg, making him grimace in pain. "You think you're the only one who knows how to sneak attack? I can do it too! And don't think just because you've been feeling down lately that I'll go easy on you. Today, I'm going to teach you a real lesson!"
