Soon after, the other party picked up the call.

"Bella, am | seeing things, or did you dial the wrong number? | can't believe you're calling me. That's a rare treat.” Mr. Eugene's voice echoed from the other end of the phone, leaving everyone in shock.

Phillip and Shirley, recognizing the voice instantly as Mr. Eugene's, felt like they had the gin the bag.

Even Mr. Winters' face changed color. This was definitely Mr. Eugene's voice. There was no way he could mistake the accent, the tone! But how could this be? It sounded as if Mr. Eugene actually knew this girl! Who exactly was this girl that Mr. Eugene so highly regarded her? "Mr. Eugene, have you gone to bed yet? | hope I'm not disturbing you?" Arabella remembered he usually retired early.

"Well, you're being quite formal now. Forget about sleeping. Even if | was lying in a coffin, I'd get up if you called! When are we going to have another chess match?" The implications of this were massive. Arabella played chess, too? From the sound of it, she had even played chess with Mr. Eugene.

Could it be that she was a chess whiz? "I'll cover sother day.” As Arabella said this, she went straight to the point, "I heard you have a granddaughter. Just asking." "What granddaughter? | wasn't aware. Ah, | get it. You must have heard srumors and thought | had recognized someone else as my granddaughter. That's impossible! | only want to recognize you as my granddaughter. What do you say? Have you changed your mind? Many want to be my granddaughter, if you miss out this time, there won't be another chance!" Arabella hadn't expected him to bring this up again, so she changed the subject, "We'll talk about that later. Do you remember the golden chess set?" "I do. Didn't | give it to you? Do you want to give it back to me? | knew you were a gentle and sweet girl..." "You're overthinking it." Arabella cut off his daydream, "I'm calling to tell you | gave it away." "What? You silly girl, that chess set was my treasure. | gave it to you because | love you." "Are you sure it's because you love me?" Caught off guard by Arabella's question, Mr. Eugene stammered, "Well, there's definitely a part of it because | love you." Since everyone was listening to the call, Arabella didn't expose him but said, "Alright, that's all | wanted to tell you. I'm hanging up now." "Wait, you haven't said when you'll cnext." Before Mr. Eugene could finish, Arabella had hung up the phone.

Everyone was amazed! Mr. Winters hadn't expected this girl to actually know Mr. Eugene, and Mr. Eugene himself admitted that he had given her the chess set. And Enid's face turned even more sour! If the one in Arabella's possession was the real one, then what the hell did she spend a whopping twenty million dollars on? "No, this can't be." Enid shook her head, unable to accept the reality.

"Enid, were you deceived?" Suri tried to comfort her, "Don't you have the contact information of Mr. Eugene's granddaughter? Call her quickly and ask what's going on." "Since Bella has Mr. Eugene's contact, if necessary, she can also help Mr. Eugene communicate with the ‘granddaughter’.

Jessamyn also suggested.

All eyes were on Enid.

Feeling embarrassed, Enid took out her phone, ready to call the granddaughter,’ only to find out she'd been blocked! Seeing Enid's face turning extremely sour, Suri anxiously asked what had happened and found out she'd been blocked.

The truth was as clear as day! Enid was swindled, and after the swindler received the money, she was blocked.

"After all that fuss, it turned out she's been swindled.” Shirley looked at Arabella lovingly, "I can't believe you even have a connection with Mr. Eugene. When Grandpa Phillip tried to buy the chess set from him, he even turned down Grandpa Philip. It's clear he values you greatly." Without a doubt, Arabella must be a chess prodigy!
