Divorce Time 232

Chapter 232

Thorne set his glass of water down and said politely, "The pleasure is all mine to have a chess match with you, Quintin."

Thorne walked over and took a seat across from Quintin. "Please, Quintin, guide me through this game," he added. Vesta and Granger, along with the others, gathered around to watch the game unfold.

Charlene and Stewart joined too, positioning themselves behind Quintin.

Now, Vesta and Granger were both familiar with chess.

Seeing Charlene so absorbed in the game, Granger approached. "Do you play chess?" he asked Charlene.

"A little," Charlene replied modestly.

Stewart, standing nearby, muttered under his breath, "A little? More like a ton."

But he said nothing more, perhaps because he wasn't too familiar with her.

At first, both Quintin and Thorne's strategies were quite nebulous.

Gradually, though, as they got a feel for each other's style, Quintin leaned towards an aggressive strategy. Thorne, on the other hand, focused on thwarting Quintin's attacks while carving out new paths for himself.

At a glance, it seemed like Thorne was struggling.
