LittleNovelChapter 581: They approached the chessboard, inspecting the final arrangement of the pieces.
Sheri's face darkened, her confidence visibly crumbling.
Naomi's face turned as pale as a sheet, her body trembling uncontrollably. It took her a long moment to steady herself enough to speak. "No, this can't be! Khloe couldn't have won! There's still the painting! Lindy is a prodigy -everyone knows it! As long as her painting wins, then I haven't lost!" At that moment, Naomi latched onto Lindy as her last hope.

When her eyes landed on Lindy's oil painting, still in its final stages, the panic that had gripped her began to subside. Relief washed over her like a wave.

Sheri arrived just as Lindy was putting down her brush.
"This is perfection. It feels like you're standing right there. The sense of hope and renewal that the morning sun brings is overwhelming. Lindy, you're truly incredible-no wonder you're called a prodigy." Sheri smiled warmly as she commended Lindy's work.

His words were carefully chosen to please both sides, attempting to diffuse tension without offending anyone. But the Dayton family wasn't interested in fairness.
Naomi sneered at Eric's suggestion and snapped back, "A bet is a bet, and it must follow the terms we agreed upon. Khloe herself said earlier that she wouldn't accept a draw. So now that she's lost, why should we compromise? Khloe needs to pay the price she agreed to." At that, Khloe arched a brow, her tone sharp and unbothered. “You're all so eager to declare the winner before even looking at my painting? Jumping to conclusions already?" Naomi stiffened, her confidence faltering for a moment. "You're saying you painted something?" "I did."
