Regina looked equally shocked but said with pride, "She was just being modest." Winston was dumbfounded. "I just played against Xavier and lost within eight moves! Ella hasn't lost yet. Am I the joke here?" he said. "What else could it be?" Regina nearly burst into laughter. "Ella is doing this for you! Are you blaming her now?"
