Chapter 323 Aspen smiled sweetly and said, Mr.


    Kelce, back in Bridgefields, youre considered a legend in the antique world, always sharp with your words.


    She nced around dramatically.


    I see that even here in Jayrodale, youve kept your genuine style.


    I must say, I admire your consistency.


    Orions face lit up with pride


    Ah, finally, someone who gets me ! So many think Im just showing off or looking down on others, but why would I need to pretend at my level? Like you said, this is just who I am straightforward and honest.


    I never sugarcoat my words.


    Aspens gaze shifted over the crowd beforending on Andrew, her smile turning icy.


    Mr.


    Kelce, we Bridgefields folk like to let our skills and logic speak for themselves.


    However, som people here just cant seem to respect us, no matter what.


    Orion smirked.


    Oh ? And whos bold enough to disrespect us? Aspen pointed directly at Andrew. Its him, Mr.


    Kelce.


    His names Andrew Lloyd


    Ever since I arrived in Jayrodale, he hasnt missed a chance to belittle me.


    Orion immediately turned his attention to Andrew, his look filled with disdain


    He mocked, I thought you were talking about someone important, but its just a young pup.


    What I deal with is art, history, and fine collectibles.


    A kid like this probably cant even tell a teapot from a soupdle.


    No need to point him out and embarrass yourself, my dear.


    Several of Orions followers burst intoughter.


    Exactly! Mr.


    Kelce is a celebrated collector and a giant in the field.


    This kid? Hes nothing.


    Mr.


    Kelce came to grace this appraisal event, not to entertain amateurs.


    Why bother with a nobody? If this kid crossed Ms.


    Stevens, just let us know and well teach him a lesson.


    But talking ues and sophistication? Dont waste Mr.


    Kelces time its beneath him.


    Francescas face turned beet red with anger.


    Ms.


    Stevens, you think you can throw your weight around here in Jayrodale just because youre from Bridgefields? Aspen chuckled lightly, her demeanor calm.


    Ms.


    Aicker, theres no need to get so worked up.


    I simply cant stand people who dont know the first thing about antiques showing up here.


    Its pathetic that he doesnt notice hespletely out of ce.


    Elsie frowned, visibly displeased.


    Ms.


    Stevens, Mr.


    Lloyd is a guest of the event organizers.


    Dont you think your words are going too far? Feigning hurt, Aspen gave an exaggerated bow.


    If I upset you, Ms.


    Santana, I apologize.


    But I dont think I said anything untrue.


    Antique appraisal and collecting are refined, academic pursuits


    If someone unqualifiedes to watch from the sidelines, fine but strutting into the appraisal center ? Its unbearable.


    Chapter 323 Orionughed heartily.


    Aspen, your sharp tongue is as lively as ever, and I like it


    For those whock talent, theres no need to waste pleasantries. Keep them at arms length.


    Christina, who had been quiet this entire time, sighed to herself


    This was a high stakes appraisal event, and Andrew could have stayed on the sidelines, but no he had to insert himself into the middle of the storm


    Did he not realize who attended events like this? They were either people with wealth to spare, hunting for rare pieces to add to their collections, or seasoned experts at the top of their game.
