Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 180

“Hah.” Seeing how calm Winnie appeared, Yolanda commented with disdain, “You seem pretty confident!”

“Is that so?” Winnie was indeed confident.

In fact, she was even more confident when she said that.

From Yolanda’s point of view, however, she felt like Winnie was taunting her.

Her eyes narrowed. “Then do you know overconfidence is actually just arrogance? “

Winnie was still smiling nonchalantly. “Arrogance doesn’t exist in my dictionary.”

That pissed Yolanda off so much that she laughed in disbelief. “You’re so full of yourself!”

“Am I?” Winnie cocked an eyebrow. “Isn’t it more appropriate to say I’m full of myself if I challenge you in the field in which you excel at?”

“Preposterous! You wouldn’t dare challenge me like that.” An expression of pride was visible on Yolanda’s face. “If this news gets out, people will say I’m bullying you!”

Winnie’s tone remained calm. “Since you want to have a competition with me in an open manner, I don’t think you’ll bully me. So, tell me what it’s going to be. I’m good with anything.”

Yolanda furrowed her eyebrows. This woman sure is arrogant!

“To make things fair, we’ll let a third party decide what we should compete on!” she suggested.

“Sure! I can agree with that.” Winnie promptly turned to Sebastian. “How about we let Old Mr. Xander decide that?”

The old man glanced at his own granddaughter and then at Winnie.

In reality, he didn’t really want to use that method to decide if he should take Winnie in as a disciple. However, he understood that youngsters were fiercely competitive, and since things had turned out that way, he decided to go along with it.

“I know Yolanda pretty well, so I think I’ll be subconsciously biased if I do that. How about this? I’ll let my monkey randomly decide what the competition will be about to prevent any perceived unfairness.”

“Sounds good to me.” Winnie nodded. This sounds interesting and challenging.

Yolanda nodded in agreement, too.

“Very well.” Sebastian explained, “I’ll let the monkey pick three random items from the building. Then, we’ll come up with topics based on those items. The competition will conclude when someone achieves three wins. If a topic is unfamiliar to either of you, I’ll give you two some time to prepare. You’ll learn and compete on the spot. Any disagreements?”

“No!” the women exclaimed in unison.

Hearing that, Sebastian nodded, turned around, and called for the monkey.

Monkeys were intelligent animals with developed brains. After the years of training the Xander family gave the monkey, it was able to understand human speech, more or less.

Sebastian only needed to tell the monkey what to do a single time before it went into the house and grabbed something.

Soon, it revealed the first item, which was two chess pieces.

The pieces were respectively the white and black king pieces. Before the competition even started, the rivalry between the women was already quite intense.

Sebastian took the pieces and turned to the women. “So, the first round will be chess. Do you two have any objections to that?”

“Nope!” Yolanda spoke first as she gazed at Winnie. “If you’re afraid of embarrassing yourself, there’s still time for you to quit.”

The old man frowned. In the end, it wasn’t a truly fair competition because anything the monkey took out of the house would be something he was interested in.

And if he liked something, he would teach his descendants at least a little bit of it. He knew Yolanda’s chess skills were pretty good, but he wasn’t sure if Winnie knew how to play.

There wasn’t a hint of fear in Winnie’s voice when she answered, “I’m fine with it, too! It’s rare for me to lose.”

“Hah!” Yolanda couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Your head is so far up your butt that it went all the back to its original position!”
