His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 1070

Dumbstruck, Hans' and Everett's eyes widened dramatically. Unbridled joy lit their faces at the sight of Arielle.

“My dear mentor!”

“Grandmaster!”

The two men yelled simultaneously, their tones colored with reverence.

The corner of Arielle's lips twitched involuntarily, but she held her tongue.

I can't believe that Susanne's mentor is my apprentice'. Does that mean that Susanne is my grand-disciple? What in the world is going on?

Arielle's head throbbed. She fervently wished that the ground would open up and swallow her whole.

Susanne, on the other hand, was thoroughly perplexed when she heard Hans refer to Arielle as his mentor.

She stepped forward to block Hans, who was about to rush toward Arielle. “Mr. Jewell, w-what did you just call her?” she stuttered.

“My mentor, of course.”

“No, no, it's all a misunderstanding,” Arielle interjected quickly. “We played chess together some time ago, and I won a game using a sly trick. Mr. Jewell was just teasing me.”

She shot Hans a look as she spoke.

However, the meaning behind her glare went over Hans' head as he attempted to reiterate that Arielle was indeed his mentor.

Fortunately, Everett was far more perceptive. He caught on quickly and leaned over to whisper in Hans' ear.

Hans'jaw dropped open, his gaze darting between Arielle and Susanne as he finally grasped the situation.

“She's right. We made a bet back then that whoever won that game of chess would be known as the 'mentor,' but it's all just fun and games.” He chuckled awkwardly.
