Chapter 336 However- Andrew began.


    Just then, Christina cut in excitedly.


    While everyone was nervous, Mr.


    Cooper remainedpletely calm! Thats how you knew both bowls were fake.


    He would have been panicking about their safety if they were real.


    Exactly.


    Andrew nodded with approval.


    Christina felt conflicted


    She was smart enough to run Jayrodale as CEO, but she would never have thought of such a brilliantly simple method


    It seemed that her intelligence was nothingpared to Andrews.


    The crowd erupted in amazement as the mystery was solved.


    Incredible ! He used psychology to authenticate antiques.


    Mr.


    Lloyd, youre truly the best! Another expert inted, This is pure genius! Ive been authenticating pieces for 20 years, but todays lesson has shown me Ive still got more to learn! Theres no doubt that Mr.


    Kelce has lost! Aspen desperately searched for another angle to refute Andrews ims but found none. She thought bitterly, He really beat Mr.


    Kelce.


    As fellow Bridgefields residents, weve embarrassed ourselves.


    Aspen felt like Andrew had just pped her hard across the face.


    She bit her lip, standing silently on the edge of the crowd, unable to say a word


    Her gaze flickered to Orion, and the sight of him made her heart sink he was clearly furious but she did


    not dare to show it, pacing anxiously like a cornered animal,pletely out of options.


    Mr.


    Kelce, Im sorry, Aspen thought to herself with a faint sense of pity.


    But even I cant help you now


    Without realizing it, she edged further away from the crowd, unwilling to get involved.


    Mr.


    Kelce, you lost.


    Francescas voice rang out loud and clear, filled with malice.


    And since you lost, shouldnt you follow through on what you promised? Isnt it time to kneel before him? Francesca was not about to let Orion off the hook.


    She loathed the man, and this was her chance for payback.


    Her words immediately turned the crowds attention to him, their eyes brimming with expectation and disdain.


    The message was obvious: kneel and admit his ws, or the hundreds of collectors and dealers gathered here would not let him walk away unscathed.


    Orion gritted his teeth.


    Fine, Ill admit it I underestimated you.


    But to kneel and apologize? Do you even realize what it would mean if someone like me, Orion Kelce, bowed down to you? Could you even handle it?  Chapter 330 Andrew sped his hands behind his back, his expression calm butced with a mocking smile.


    Mr.


    Kelce, thats such a strange thing to say.


    Why wouldnt I be able to handle it? Having a renowned figure like you admitting his mistakes and kneeling before me sounds great, doesnt it? His smile widened as he added, Honestly, Id be thrilled! Orions face turned red with rage, and his voice thundered, You insolent brat! Do you really intend to humiliate me to the very end? He had not evennelt yet, and this arrogant kid was already acting like he was the elder in charge.


    Orion had spent his entire life towering over others, receiving their bows and gratitude as they called him respectfully


    Never not once had he been forced to kmeel before someone.


    To him, this was not just a loss; it was the ultimate insult.


    And it was utterly unbearable.
