The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac)
Chapter 1093

Piper's eyes sparkled with amusement, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I'll make sure to shine."

"For the upcoming delegation from Welandia, we're planning to scout the city for the most skilled chess players to form a team. We'll host a friendly match to showcase Craneville's dedication to chess, and to foster cultural exchange and elevate the game's prominence." The Queen was very pleased with the plan, "Excellent, I'm entrusting this to you."

Piper grinned triumphantly. She had been looking forward to making a splash during the Welandia Chess Federation's visit to Craneville.

Brittany, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.

But Piper couldn't let it go, "Ms. Lynette, I've heard you grew up in Imperial City, you must have some knowledge about chess, right?" Suddenly, all eyes were on Brittany.

Eltham looked at Brittany with eager anticipation.

Brittany smiled gently, "I've never formally studied chess. I only played a few games with my elders. I'm no match for Ms. Walker, who has won championships."

That was exactly what Piper had been waiting to hear, "Ms. Lynette, if you're interested in chess, you're welcome to observe our chess club anytime."

"Thank you," Brittany responded, brushing off Piper's challenge.

Piper felt like she had punched a pillow - utterly unsatisfying.

As the dinner party progressed, Brittany excused herself early due to fatigue.

Eltham offered to escort her, but the Queen had other plans for him.

Upon leaving the estate, Brittany leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, her stomach in turmoil.

She discreetly took a sour candy from her bag, the intense flavor helping her suppress the urge to vomit.

The Lynette family waited outside and drove her home once she recovered.

Meanwhile, the Queen, Piper, and Eltham stood together.

"Piper, make sure to take the chess exchange seriously," the Queen instructed.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I'll prepare thoroughly," Piper confidently replied, undaunted by the prospect of facing a global champion from Welandia.

...

In Welandia, at a five-star hotel, a man with shoulder-length hair sipped his coffee leisurely behind a mask. Across him sat a handsome man, aloof and solitary.

"Mr. Salter, I apologize, but I must decline your offer," the aloof man said.

"I've already agreed to represent the Welandia Chess Association in the upcoming exchange match against Craneville."

He had no interest in teaching chess to Brittany, who was soon to marry into Craneville's royalty.

Isaac wasn't deterred, "Then, I'll see you in Craneville."

"Our offer still stands until you leave Craneville," Isaac said as he departed.

After finishing his coffee, the man returned to his suite.

Exiting the café, Nathan opened the car door for Isaac, "Mr. Salter, did Ulysses turn us down?"

"Yes, but keep an eye on the exchange match. Piper won't miss a chance to trouble Brittany."

Nathan admired Isaac's foresight, "Just heard that Ms. Walker is overseeing the exchange. She even challenged Brittany at the Queen's birthday party." "Understood."

Isaac settled into the car, closing his eyes to rest, "Let's head back to Craneville."
