Chapter 340 I Have the Real One!
“The chess set looks exquisite and glossy, especially the chess board… There is no way counterfeit ones could look
like this…” Ashlyn obviously did not buy Paige’s story.
Diana sided with the Hart family as well. “Paige must have seen information about the chess set somewhere on the
Internet before, right? But just because Adrianna’s chess set doesn’t look exactly like the one Paige saw on the
Internet doesn’t mean Adrianna’s stuff is counterfeit. After all, screens can’t always present things the way they
exactly are…”
Only by seeing things with his or her own eyes could one believe these things were genuine.
Martin held Paige’s waist and defended Paige, “My fiancée only made a comment on it because.
Mrs. Higgins asked her to. Paige didn’t mean to offend anyone. And she is right about the chess set. It does look
rather ordinary. I wonder why is it that hard for people to speak the truth these days. Should we all say flattering
remarks?”
Martin’s words embarrassed not only the Hart family but also Ashlyn and Diana.
“Martin, even you think so?” Adrianna bit her lower lip, thinking, obviously, Martin is protecting
Paige. He even called her his fiancée. That means he cares about Paige a lot.
What did the girl do to make this happen?
“Please call me in a less affectionate way,” Martin looked into Adrianna’s eyes and said. indifferently. “We have only
met a few times. Technically, we’re just strangers. You calling me that. affectionately might make people mistaken
about our relationship.”
Martin defending Paige again and again had embarrassed Adrianna greatly. That made Scott want to interfere.
“Adrianna knows that Mrs. Stowe loves to play chess. Therefore, she spent a lot of effort asking around to buy it. All
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe wants is to show her kindness to Mrs. Stowe. But now the gift she prepared is regarded as a fake one. That’s
why she feels upset… But do you think the Hart family. would actually bring something fake here?”
Rosa Garcia, who was sitting at the head of the table, smiled elegantly, “Counterfeit or not, the chess board is not
supposed to be ours. It’s way too precious. But I do appreciate it that Adrianna treats me this kindly. Now please
take it back.”
After that, Rosa sorted out the packaging a bit and had Neil put it on the coffee table in front of Adrianna.
By doing this, Rosa meant to ask Adrianna to take it back when she left.
Paige, come here.” Rosa waved to Paige.
Then Rosa arranged for Paige to sit between her and Killian before patting the back of Paige’s hand affectionately
while saying, “I like kids who are straightforward, unlike those who always hint at something.”
Hearing that, everyone present looked rather embarrassed.
“Young people should all be like you. You remind me of what I was like when I was young. We two are actually much
alike…” Rosa smiled again.
“Mrs. Stowe, Ms. Paige hasn’t told me why the chess board is counterfeit yet!” Adrianna, who was sitting on the
sofa, said bitterly.
Adrianna thought, I have to make Paige give an explanation today!
Just like that, Adrianna once again brought up the topic, which Rosa was so close to distracting people from. There
was once again tension in the room.
“I think Adrianna is still puzzled as to the accusation against the chess set. She must be wondering could it be that
Ms. Paige is wrong or Ms. Paige doesn’t have an eye for this kind of stuff…” Diana tried to talk in Adrianna’s favor.
“The accusation that Ms. Paige made not only devalues the chess set but also Adrianna’s kindness to Mrs. Stowe…”
“Right. I don’t care how people appraise the stuff I bring along, but my good intention? I can’t stand it being
twisted.” Obviously, Adrianna was venting her anger now. “So, Ms. Paige. Please enlighten me about what is going
wrong with the chess set!!
Scott added, trying to laugh it off, “Kids nowadays like to make a fuss over small things, don’t they?
Well, I guess we’ll have to just let them do things their way and laugh it off as a joke. Now Mr.
Stowe and Mrs. Stowe, let’s drink our tea…”
Not intending to stop Adrianna, Scott sided with her like those lenient parents did instead.
Killian, a bit displeased, bit the bullet since Scott had saved the life of Killian’s son back then once.
Otherwise, Killian would have kicked them out of his house already.
But before Killian said anything, Paige spoke.
*Killian and Rosa, just enjoy your tea.” Paige handed Killian’s teacup to Killian and a glass of water to Rosa before
saying gently, “Since Ms. Hart insists, then I will do as she wishes.”
Noticing that Paige sounded righteous, Rosa smiled, “Well, then do whatever you want. We will not interfere.”
Hearing that, Adrianna got even happier. “Then Ms. Paige, we are all ears!”
Paige’s eyes rested on Adrianna, her tone neither overbearing nor servile. “The reason that I am sure that it is fake
is that I have the real one!”
Everyone was shocked all at once.
They thought, how bold she is, lying in front of all of us!
It’s not like we don’t know how precious the chess set is.
Carroll, the previous owner of the chess set, is just so difficult and arrogant. Even Mrs. Stowe would find it hard to
buy it at a high price from Carroll, not to mention Paige!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPaige is too young to be able to make Carroll resell the chess set to her.
“Do you know how much the chess set is worth?” Adrianna looked at Paige with obvious disdain.
Sizing up Paige, Adrianna thought, for a person without dressing any branded clothes like her, how is it possible that
she can afford it?
“There is no way the chess set is fake! Do you have any evidence? Show us your chess set if you really have it!”
At that moment, Paige’s phone vibrated. The call came at the right time!
“All right. I will bring it here now.” Paige got up and walked toward the door.
Her subordinate handed the priceless box to her and asked in confusion, “Boss, you want this thing so urgently just
to make the Stowe family happy! You have changed!”
The subordinate thought, what has Martin done to her? Paige is so money-oriented, and yet she is giving away such
a valuable thing…
What’s more, Paige asked me to deliver it here in ten minutes…
No one knows how I floored it just now!
“Cut the ****and get lost.” Paige took the chess set and walked back without a backward glance at him.
Left staring after her, the subordinate felt sad, thinking, how ruthless Paige is now! She doesn’t care about me
anymore. If it were before, she would have asked me if I was tired or thirsty. But now she should ask me to get
lost….
“Young people nowadays are all good liars, aren’t they?” In the living room, Scott smiled and shook his head,
apparently questioning Paige’s morality. There is no way Paige owns the real stuff…”
Scott thought, I can’t wait to see what “genuine” chess set she will show us later.
Get Horus
After a while, Paige came in with an exquisite box.
Killian, who was knowledgeable, knew right away that Paige had the genuine chess set the moment he saw the box.
At the sight of the box, Scott was stunned as well.
