Chapter 760

Nathalie returned to Stewart Estate, still stewing with frustration.

Lincoln and Dominick were in the living room, locked in a tense game of chess. Dominick was down to just a king, a bishop, and a pawn, yet he remained upbeat. "Uncle Howard, my king's got plenty of escape routes. You won't pin me down that easily. How about we call it a draw and pick up tomorrow?"

Lincoln looked up as Nathalie walked in, losing interest in the game. He pushed the board aside, saying, "I'm done for today."

Ford, who had been quietly watching, couldn't help but tease Dominick. "What a blowout."

Dominick fired back, "Uncle Howard's a genius mathematician with brains to spare. Losing to him is no disgrace. Why don't you give it a shot tomorrow? You'll think twice about those remarks after you lose."

Lincoln approached Nathalie with fatherly concern. "Vivian, where've you been all day?"

Nathalie paused briefly, choosing to leave Nathan out of it. She casually said, "I went to visit an old friend in prison."
