Chapter 1008 "Bella, | challenge you. If you're not good at chess, you can choose another talent,” Aima confidently proposed. "I can play the piano, chess, and even do painting and calligraphy." Alma, being the daughter of a wealthy family, had plenty of opportunities to hone her talents. Many around her secretly admired the shimmering aura she exuded. If they could, they'd love to have the simpressive background and talents and be the object of others' envy.

"Fine, chess it is” Bella reluctantly agreed. "One minute." Alma was secretly delighted. She borrowed a chess set and graciously allowed Bella to make the first move.

"No need, I'll give you a three-move advantage." What? Alma was insulted by Bella's offer. She smiled and said, "That wouldn't be fair, would it? Competition is about fairness. I'll call you sis. Respecting the elders is a traditional virtue in Solterra. So please, make the first move." Bella didn't want to waste her breath arguing, so she made the first move.

Alma thought Bella was speechless in the face of her wit and felt even more triumphant. However, her smile didn't last long as she watched the gprogress.

It was supposed to be a simple game, but Bella maneuvered with such ease, leaving Alma at a disadvantage. Her pieces were continuously captured by Bella.

In less than a minute, the outcwas clear. Many of the onlookers who had just arrived saw the end of the game, with Bella as the winner.

Bella maintained her indifferent demeanor, as if winning or losing was a trivial matter to her.

But Ama sat before the chessboard, thunderstruck. She had believed she could maintain a lead for at least a minute. But now, looking at the disastrous state of the board, she was filled with shand couldn't utter a word.

How could this be.

How could Bella's chess skills be so formidable? It was one thing for her to be good at violin, but to also crush her at chess.

As Bella stood up, someone exclaimed, "It's Professor Oswald!" Professor Oswald had somehow appeared amongst the crowd. No one knew how long he'd been standing there watching. His warm smile and approving applause were directed at Bella.

“Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. | had no idea you were also skilled at chess. Who did you learn from?" To win over Alma in both violin and chess was impressive.

Alma was equally talented in chess as she was in violin.

But instead of boasting about her mentor, Bella asked, "What brings you here,Professor Oswald?" Instead of judging the competition, what brought him backstage? “| wanted to add you on WhatsApp,’ Professor Oswald replied with agentlemanly smile.

He had mentioned, while commenting on Bella's violin performance, that ifshe ever changed her mind, she was welcto seek him out at the ViolinAssociation, or he could add her on WhatsApp.

He was serious! As soon as Bella left the audience area, he followed! Everyone was stunned by his actions. It was clear he was very fond of Bellaand satisfied with her performance. He intended to take her as his student.

In front of so many people, Bella didn't want to embarrass him. She took out her phone, opened her QR code, and handed it over.

After scanning her contact card, Professor Oswald said, "Added." After accepting his request, Bella commented, "I have another team to coach for the competition. | won't keep you, Professor." "Very well; Professor Oswald nodded, "Feel free to reach out anytime." As he walked past Alma, he didn’t spare her a glance.

He thought that by pretending not to see her, he could spare her the bruise on her ego.

But Alma misunderstood his good intentions and felt even more jealous and dissatisfied! She felt that Professor Oswald was ignoring her and repeatedly showing favor to Bella, treating her as invisible.

Everyone else was gathering around Bella.

“Bella, you're amazing! Not only are you good at violin, but your chess skills are also top-notch!"
