My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 1984

The camera turned toward a figure while the host continued. “This is the champion of this year’s tournament. She

is a young chess player who is only twenty-five years old. She is a rookie in chess, and her name is Ellen Reiss. A

round of applause for Miss Reiss.”

Pfft! Connor spat out his tea as he stared at Ellen intently, watching her take the trophy. He never expected that

Ellen, whom he had been searching for, would be standing on the stage as a chess champion.

Looking at her, Connor was beyond frustrated. After all, there was no use in finding her now when Selena would be

getting out of jail. Her life was ruined, and this case would forever taint her.

At this moment, Olivia entered the house. Seeing Connor staring at the TV with a surprised look, she asked, “What

are you. looking at? Come and see the clothes I bought for Lena. When she comes home, she can wear the new

clothes.”

“Come and look at this girl, Oli,” said Connor as he pointed toward the TV screen. Olivia wasn’t a fan of watching

celebrities. When she heard Connor’s words and saw that he was pointing at the TV screen, she subconsciously

looked over.

In the meantime, Ellen’s face was on the screen. The cameraman took a close-up of her, making her look event

prettier on screen.

“This… Is this Ellen?” Olivia was dumbfounded. Why is she on TV and being awarded? As she thought, she

exclaimed, “What is she being awarded?” Olivia couldn’t believe that Ellen had. become an outstanding woman and

was on TV. Moreover, she was awarded on national TV.

“It is the national chess championship.” Connor sighed. Never would he have thought that things would turn out this

way. He used to think. that Ellen couldn’t do anything and was just an ordinary girl. However, he didn’t expect her to

be talented after one and a half years had passed.

“S-She must have bribed them! There is no way she can become a chess champion! If not, her opponent must

have thrown the game. Thus, what is so special about an award that can be obtained by bribing?” Olivia uttered in

disdain.

Hearing her words, Connor recalled that she was with Jared. Maybe the Presgrave Family had given her some

benefits. They let her become a chess champion so she will have a better future. Perhaps Oli is right.

“This b*tch! How dare she live a great life and stand on the stage with spotlights on her when. she let Lena be in

prison for a year! She is ruthless!” Olivia was convinced that the lady was a nobody who couldn’t achieve anything.

Then, she refused to look at the TV anymore and went to do the laundry. However, Connor sat back and hit replay,

rewinding the stream. When he saw Ellen’s first match, he sat down and observed the process. Connor was a chess

lover himself, and he would always play chess by the park.

When he finished watching Ellen’s first match, he was shocked. Then, he quickly forwarded the stream to the last

round. As he watched the game, he knew what Olivia said was wrong. Ellen didn’t win the match by bribing. In fact,

she won fair and square.

At that moment, the host mentioned Ellen’s mentor-Brook. He was the world champion who had defeated most of

the top-tier players. However, he stopped competing after a tragedy happened to his family, followed by

depression.

It’s quite a surprise that he is Ellen’s mentor. No wonder Ellen is skillful, he thought. When Olivia entered the room

and saw Connor was still looking at Ellen, she was angry. “Why are you still watching? What is there to look at?”

Hearing her words, Connor turned off the TV. At the same time, he didn’t tell Olivia that Ellen had won the

championship with her own skill. After all, he didn’t want his wife to be even angrier. At this moment, his phone

rang. When he took out his phone and saw who the caller was, he galloped to the balcony and answered it.
