The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 162

He knew she was quick, but he never expected her to be this quick.

David had always been unbeatable at video games. No one had ever given him a real challenge—until Ella showed up. She was matching him move for move, and honestly, he hadn’t seen it coming.

Cedric was starting to panic. “Come on, David, you can’t let Ella take you down. Focus, seriously. If you lose this round, I’m dropping from Legend all the way down to Bronze. I can’t handle that kind of heartbreak.”

Just as he finished complaining, Aiden walked into the room. “Sir, there’s a call from the old house…”

Did something happen at the family estate?

David’s attention slipped for just a second. Then, GAME OVER flashed on the screen.

David’s hands froze on the controller. He’d lost.

In that brief moment of distraction, Ella’s character had landed the final blow, knocking him flat on the ground. He’d actually lost. To Ella.

He’d planned on teaching her a lesson, maybe make her beg for mercy. Instead…

A loud, dramatic wail came from Cedric. He stared at his account like he couldn’t believe it. “David, you actually lost? Oh my god, I’m Bronze now. This can’t be happening…”

It had taken him three years to reach Legend rank, but apparently all it took to lose it was one Ella.

Why did it have to be her?

Cedric clutched his chest, looking devastated.

David just sat there in disbelief for a moment. He had actually lost to Ella. He couldn’t help but let out a quiet laugh, pressing his tongue against the inside of his cheek, trying to hide how amused he was. She really did keep surprising him.

He looked up at Aiden. “So, what happened with Grandma?”
