Chapter 22 If Lowell High School Misses the Championship Because of Hedy
Hedy was a little upset.
The cake was taken halfway, so she was far away from Preston when she slept.
There was a gap between them, like a young couple who had quarreled.
On the other side, Preston leaned against the bedside while reading, and occasionally glanced at Hedy out of the corner of his eye with a faint smile.
It was the first time he’d seen Hedy sulking.
It might sound a bit inconsiderate, but she was indeed much cuter than when she was expressionless.
Early the next morning, Hedy slowly sat up straight with dark circles under her eyes.
She had been too far away from Preston last night, and she couldn’t smell the soothing fragrance, so she hadn’t slept very well.
She rubbed the back of her neck and walked out of the bedroom.
“Good morning, Ms. Ellis. Childe King ordered before he left that if you want to eat cake, there is chilled tiramisu in the refrigerator.” The maid followed Hedy with a big smile on her face.
Childe King had made it with his own hands last night!
Hedy paused.
She was instantly refreshed

After eating the tiramisu, Iledy drove to Lowell High School.
When she got out of the car, the door of the red car in front just happened to open, and two familiar people got off.
One was Ronin, the chess mentor at Lowell High School, and the other
was the dessert shop proprietress whom she had met yesterday.
The proprietress supported Ronin to get out of the car, “Dad, be careful.”
Ronin was her father.
After Ronin, who was on crutches, got out of the car, the proprietress also noticed Hedy.
“It’s you, the beautiful girl who bought the cake yesterday!” The proprietress’s eyes lit up, “What a coincidence. Why are you here?”
For someone who liked good looks, the existence of Hedy was a bunch of sparkling rare treasures!
“She is a student of Lowell High School, and she is also the one who will participate in the inter-school league.” Ronin glanced at Hedy and walked into the school on crutches.
“So you are my dad’s student. With his indifferent temperament, he must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?” The proprietress smiled awkwardly, “Do you like dessert? You can come to my shop after school. You can eat whatever you want! It’s on the house.”
Her words attracted Hedy.
But she shouldn’t accept free lunches.
no
She thought about it, and found a way to get the best of both worlds, “I remember there was a recruitment notice posted in front of your shop. I

happen to want to earn some pocket money.”
“Well, you can come to my shop to work part-time after school.” The proprietress held out her hand, “My name is Grace Wilson.”
“Hedy.” Hedy shook her hand.
One day class was over soon.
In the evening, before Hedy left school, there came Kelly’s voice from the radio,
“Hedy from Class 7, Grade 3, come to the principal’s office.”
What did Kelly ask to see her?
Hedy frowned slightly and walked towards the principal’s office.
In the corridor outside the principal’s office, more than a dozen students were standing, all of whom were about to represent Lowell High School in the inter-school league.
Seeing Hedy, they all showed contempt and snorted coldly.
In the principal’s office, Gloria spoke loudly, “Principal Thomas, we’ve found out that Hedy did not pass the exam in the Chess Association.
“In addition, she hadn’t come to the chess room to report for two consecutive days, and even derogated the chess records that we’ve trained so hard on as ‘this little thing
“We’re all very angry, but it’s a trivial matter. The important thing is the reputation of the school.
“Are we going to send a novice to play on the day of the league?
“If this is the case, other schools will laugh at us and say that our

Lowell High School has no talents, and we can’t even get together a team of 20 people!”
A hint of calculation flashed in Gloria’s eyes.
Hedy, aren’t you trying to play hard to get and seduce Oliver?
I will directly unite with other students and kick you out of the participating team. I’ll wait and see what else you can do!
“Who told you that if one hasn’t passed the test, it means he can’t play chess?” Hedy walked into the principal’s office with a cold expression.
When she was playing against the world’s number one chess player, Gloria wasn’t around!
“Since you know how to play chess, do you dare to play a game with me?!” Gloria snorted and stared at Hedy.
She must expose Hedy’s lie!
“Play chess with me?” Hedy’s eyes flashed sarcasm, “Who do you think you are?”
Gloria was in no position to play chess with her.
“You!” Gloria’s face was livid!
“Okay.” Kelly put her hands on the table and asked Hedy, “Choose someone you think is worthy to play chess with and show me.”
He had agreed with Hedy to represent Lowell High School because of Hedy’s outstanding performance in the school.
Not only had she gotten full marks in her monthly exams, but she had also taught the worst Class 7 until they became the top one.

His friend Preston also spoke highly of Hedy.
.
So when he heard Hedy say that she was going to participate in the inter-school chess league, he had assumed that Hedy could play chess and played it well.
It turned out that Hedy didn’t even take the exam, so he needed to call Hedy to confirm.
If Hedy didn’t know how to play chess, he wouldn’t let her participate in the league.
Lowell High School was a school for all.
The honor of Lowell High School belonged to all.
He couldn’t ignore it.
“No, she can play chess.” Ronin came in with crutches, and his gray hair was swaying with his steps.
“When she came to the chess room yesterday, I was playing chess.
“She looked at the chessboard for three seconds and then set her sights on the ‘chariot’ position, making sure that this move was the best.
“I had thought about this move for a full twenty minutes, but it only took her three seconds.
“How could such a person be a novice?”
He was sure that Hedy was a genius who was good at chess.
No student in the entire Lowell High School was better than her!
“With just one look, you confirmed that Hedy knows chess? Wasn’t it too careless?” Gloria widened her eyes, feeling that it was outrageous.

“If something goes wrong, or the championship is missed because of Hedy, who will be responsible?”
“I will!” Ronin stared at Gloria and said, “If Lowell High School misses the championship because of Hedy, I will take the blame and. resign. Are you satisfied?”
Ronin had been more or less a famous figure in the chess world. Iis sharp gaze overwhelmed Gloria, making her take a step back in embarrassment!
“Since Ronin has said so, now I announce that Hedy will continue to compete.” Kelly made the final decision.
Gloria could only bring the students back in frustration.
Standing at the door of the principal’s office, Hedy said to Ronin calmly, “I will win the championship.”
She hadn’t expected that Ronin would speak up for her and bet his
career.
“Of course, you will.” Ronin left without saying a word.
Once upon a time, he had been confident as Hedy.
At the dessert shop, Hedy changed into the outfit Grace prepared for her, and walked out of the dressing room with a frown, “Grace, do I have to wear these ‘work clothes”?”
“Of course, my dessert shop has a theme rotation. This week’s theme is the maid!”
Grace placed the standing signboard and looked up at Hedy with amazement in her eyes.
This picture was amazing!

Hedy was wearing a black and white maid pleated skirt, a white scrunchie on her head, and a white lace apron around her waist.
The belt of the apron was long, and a big bow was tied behind her. She looked really cute!
The girl wearing the maid outfit had a cold and alienated face, pulling up her sleeves, unaccustomed to it, but it somehow formed a contrast with the outfit.
She looked even cuter! Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Hedy pulled her sleeves and looked at the dessert on the counter.
She had to suppress herself.
In the conference hall of the Salesforce Building, the heads of various departments looked at each other in surprise, wondering why the handsome and noble Childe King suddenly shut up and looked out the window in a daze.
“Preston…”
“Shut up. Don’t you know that Childe King is thinking about how to quickly conquer foreign markets?”
