CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 207: AREN’T YOU GOING TO KNEEL YET?

Wallace Thorne reached out and pulled Rachel Ross forward, saying: "Kneel to her!"

Rachel Ross hadn’t expected that after Wallace heard her reasoning, he would still make her kneel to Summer Monroe.

Her expression seemed to shatter, refusing to kneel with defiance.

"I won’t kneel! I only kneel to my parents and teachers, but I will definitely not kneel to her over a ridiculous game!"

Mr. Irving frowned disapprovingly, saying: "Master, I truly think there’s no need to kneel... Even if they had a prior agreement, kneeling is indeed excessive. I believe the fault lies with Miss Monroe, not the junior sister."

Rachel Ross glanced gratefully at Mr. Irving, trusting his words, as Mr. Irving was the teacher’s prized disciple.

However, what Rachel Ross didn’t expect was Wallace’s still displeased face as he said: "I told you to kneel! No, Irving, you kneel too!"

Rachel Ross and Mr. Irving widened their eyes in shock simultaneously.

Rachel Ross asked incomprehensibly: "Why? Master, it’s one thing for you to make me kneel, but why should the senior brother kneel too? What did he do wrong?"

Compared to Rachel’s emotional agitation, Mr. Irving calmed down.

He believed his teacher wasn’t unreasonable.

Indeed, in the next moment, Wallace spoke aloud: "Because she is my master, which makes her your grandmaster!"

The words "because she is my master, which makes her your grandmaster" left Rachel Ross petrified as if turned into stone.

She trembled, asking: "What did you say?"

Wallace reiterated: "Because she is your grandmaster, she is the one I apprenticed to in Rossary. That Rossary Strategy is precisely her creation."

The scene instantly plunged into a deathly silence.

Everyone had only heard of Wallace Thorne acknowledging a chess master abroad, never expecting his master to be so young and... beautiful.

Damian Knight also looked at Summer Monroe unexpectedly, but the admiration in his eyes outweighed the surprise.

Regarding Summer Monroe, he found it very difficult to be shocked again.

No matter what Summer does or her status, he would likely not be surprised.

Because this is the Summer Monroe he knows, flawless Summer Monroe.

Wallace cleared his throat and continued: "Rachel, you just said you only kneel to parents and teachers. Well, your grandmaster is right in front of you, yet you’re not kneeling?"

Rachel clenched her fists tightly, never having received such a big blow in her life.

The person she disliked and looked down upon the most turned out to be her grandmaster, how could she accept this?

However, beside her, the chess-loving, chess-respecting, and high-chess-skilled appreciating Mr. Irving directly knelt before Summer Monroe.

"Jayden Irving, pays respect to the grandmaster!"

Summer Monroe raised an eyebrow, truly starting to admire Jayden Irving.

A great man should indeed be like this.

"Stand up." Summer Monroe gently helped Jayden Irving up, her gaze turning to Rachel Ross, who was still standing.

Rachel stiffened when she received Summer Monroe’s gaze.

She felt the murmuring around her, saying she didn’t know to pay respect to the grandmaster, not as well-mannered as Jayden Irving.

She shamefully clenched her palms and closed her eyes, kneeling toward Summer Monroe.

However, before her knee touched the ground, a delicate hand supported her arms and pulled her back to her feet.

Rachel looked up to meet Summer Monroe’s eyes.

Summer Monroe’s mouth curved in a smile, but her gaze was cold.

Rachel felt as if her back was drenched with sweat in an instant.

She trembled with her lips asking: "What... what are you doing?"
