Chapter 608
Mr. Eugene was totally nuts about chess.
He paid a hefty price for this chess set and even splurged on a fancy box to store it in!
How did this box end up in Arabella’s hands? Could it be the real deal inside?
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Arabella handed the gift box to Shirley, smiling, “I planned to bring you this chess set next time but didn’t expect this twist. So, I’m gifting it to you now. Hope you like it.”
Arabella’s gesture took aback Shirley. She had planned to gift her this chess set all along.
Her face lit up with joy, and she asked Phillip to open it. The chess set and board inside were even more uniform and beautiful.
“How can this be?” Jessamyn said, surprised, “How can there be two identical chess sets?”
Arabella’s chess set, in terms of color and workmanship, was no less than Enid’s. Were fakes nowadays really this convincing?
Suri also couldn’t believe her eyes. In this chess set of Arabella’s, there wasn’t a single flaw.
Mr. Winters also looked a bit off. He didn’t expect the chess set in Arabella’s hands to be this convincing.
“My chess set was bought from the granddaughter of the previous–collector, and there’s no way it’s fake! Where did you get yours?”
Arabella looked up, her eyes clear, and said lightly, “Mr. Eugene doesn’t have a granddaughter.”
This claim took everyone by surprise!
Everyone knew that Mr. Eugene had a granddaughter, but he was very private, so hardly anyone had seen her.
Arabella insisted, “You’ve been duped.”
Enid clenched her fists, “You’re talking nonsense! I have the contact of Mr. Eugene’s granddaughter! I can see her on Facebook! There are lots of pictures of her with Mr. Eugene!
Some pictures were even taken in Mr. Eugene’s yard. If she wasn’t his granddaughter, how could she appear in his house in her pajamas, taking affectionate pictures with him?!
“The person you know is definitely not Mr. Eugene’s granddaughter. You’ve been fooled.”
Hearing Arabella say this, Enid got even more furious, “Do you know Mr. Eugene? How do you know he doesn’t have a granddaughter? You still haven’t answered where you got your chess set from! If you’re lying today, not only do you ruin the friendship between the McMillian family and the Winters family, but you also tarnish Mr. Eugene’s reputation!”
After all, she claimed that Mr. Eugene didn’t have a granddaughter!
“My chess set was given to me by Mr. Eugene.”
Once Arabella said this, the room went silent with shock!
No! Impossible!!
Mr. Eugene loved chess. How could he give away his beloved treasure to a little girl?
Even his granddaughter had to work hard for over three months to get this chess set.
Mr. Winters was the first to laugh, clearly thinking that Arabella was joking!
Didn’t he know Mr. Eugene’s temper? He was a grumpy old man, and it was impossible for him to favor a little girl and give away his cherished collection.
This was a colossal joke!
This girl’s lies were getting more and more absurd!
Enid also laughed, “Ms. Bella, your ability to concoct lies is truly commendable. You say you know Mr. Eugene and that he gave your chess set? Do you have any proof?”
“I have his contact.”
Mr. Winters found it even funnier after hearing this, “Ms. Bella, let me tell you, I know Mr. Eugene, and I recognize his voice. He doesn’t just give out his contact to anyone.”
He had been ruthlessly denied when he wanted Mr. Eugene’s contact.
He had tried to buy that chess set before, and no matter how much he tried to please, Mr. Eugene simply would disagree!
And this girl managed to get Mr. Eugene to give it to her willingly?
What a Joke!
Arabella took out her phone and dialed a number.
