Chapter 336 However- Andrew began .

Just then , Christina cut in excitedly .

While everyone was nervous , Mr.

Cooper remained completely 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 nothing compared 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 clainted , 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 claims but found none .

She thought bitterly , He really beat Mr.

Kelce .

As fellow Bridgefields residents , weve embarrassed ourselves .

Aspen felt like Andrew had just slapped 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 , completely out of options .noveldrama

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 flaws , 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 clasped his hands behind his back , his expression calm but laced 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 even lanelt 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 .
