The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 79

Cedric’s eyes lit up. “What kind of competition?”

Ella knew exactly how much Cedric loved gaming. “Let’s play a game. Just you and me. Winner takes all.”

Cedric looked at her like she was joking. “Seriously? Ella, you want to play against me? I’m basically a legend. You think some small-town girl can actually beat me?”

Ella just gave him a confident smile. “Only one way to find out.”

Cedric grabbed his phone. “Alright, let’s do this. Get ready to be amazed.”

Ella pulled out her phone too, and they jumped into a game.

In the middle of it, Cedric’s character started spinning through the air with a giant sword, showing off. “Ella, this is the end for you!”

But before he could even finish taunting, “GAME OVER” flashed across his screen.

It was done.

Cedric shot up out of his seat, totally stunned. While he’d been busy showing off, Ella’s character had swooped down from above, her axe glowing gold as she finished him off in one clean hit.

He lost.

He couldn’t believe it.

He was supposed to be the expert, the king of this game.

He stared at Ella, still in shock. “Wait… You actually beat me?”

Ella just gave a little smirk. “You lost, Mr. Grimm.”

She put her phone away, walked over to Fiona, and peeled the tape off her mouth. “Fiona, are you okay?”

Fiona brushed the dust off herself. “I’m fine, Ella.”
