Aspens face flushed with frustration and rage.
She never expected to find herself being targeted instead.
Worse still, it seemed they were serious about throwing her out.
She glared at Kingsley and spat, Fine, Kingsley, youve got some guts.
But this appraisal event isnt over yet.
I’ll show you what real expertise looks like and prove what it means to be a true master of antiques! Aspen was not someone who took losses lying down.
As the pride of the Snees family in Bridgefields, she had grown up surrounded by praise and adoration.
Here in Jayrodale, she was determined to make a name for herself, and she would not back down not even against Kingsley.
Meanwhile, in the commotion, Orion tried to sneak away, but someone landed a sharp kick on his backside, sending him tumbling forward into the center of the crowd
Kingsley smirked and asked, Whats this? Youve finally made up your mind to kneel before me ? Orions face burned crimson as he roared, Who kicked me? Show yourself, or I’ll skin alive! No one responded, but the crowd had closed in around him, leaving him no escape.
Get down on your knees! Bow your head! You made a bet, now keep your word! you The shouts and demands echoed around hint, and Orions expression turned from fury to fear.
He realized with dread that there was no way out The crowd was too large, and no one was on his side. Swallowing his pride, he finally croaked, You win … I was wrong! His voice was shaky with suppressed rage as he bowed his head to Kingsley, his fists clenched tight with humiliation.
Finally, he dropped to his knees and admitted his loss.
The crowd erupted in laughter, their jeers filling the air
Orion Kelce, the once untouchable figure from Bridgefields, had been utterly humiliated.
His name, once feared and respected, was now a laughingstock.
Kingsley raised his hand and said mockingly, Good, you can get up now.
But remember this next time you’re out in the world, don’t act so high and mighty.
Otherwise, I might have to teach you another lesson
Francesca burst into laughter, unable to hold it in Kingsley, you’re so bad! Oh, this is too good!
Orion staggered to his feet, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Kingsley as he roared, Kingsley, you insolent brat! This isnt over between us ! Kingsley barked, How dare you use that tone with me! Do you have a death wish? Covering his face in luumiliation, Orlon, supported by his followers, scrambled toward the exit of the antiques fair
He did not want to stay even a second longer, fleeing down the bustling street with his pride in shambles
Hannah hesitated and turned to Aspen.
Aspen, no matter what, Mr. Kelce is still one of the most prominent figures from Bridgefields.
Are you really not going to check on him after such a humiliating defeat? Aspens tone was icy.
Check on him? Not a chance.
It doesnt matter.
Mr. Kelces fury will be something Kingsley absolutely can’t handle.
Just wait Mr. Kelce will definitely come back to settle the score, and Kingsleys the one whos in real trouble now. Hannah frowned
She could not help but feel that Kingsley had gone too far.
Winning was one thing, but forcing someone as esteemed as Orion to kneel and bow was excessive. Actions like that did not resolve anything.
They only bred resentment and invited retaliation.
Aspen sneered
Hannah, don’t be fooled by Kingsleys arrogance
Soon enough, hell learn what it means to pay the price for his recklessness.
Hannahs eyes widened in surprise.
Aspen, don’t tell me you’re planning to challenge Kingsley in antique appraisal again? Aspen smirked confidently.
Whats the fun in that? The real excitement is about to begin anyway.
The upcoming portion of this event is where the true masters shine, where only those with vision and courage can play.
Meanwhile, on Kingsleys side, the Jayrodale experts escorted him to a seat of honor with the utmost respect.
Cedric jumped at the chance to claim connections.
Mr. Baldwin and I go way back.
If any of you want to work with him, you can count on me to make the introductions.
Instantly, the other experts began flocking to Cedric .
Dr. Aicker, you know Mr. Baldwin ? Thats incredible! Please, speak highly of me to him! Dr. Aicker, you’re one of us in Jayrodales antiques circle.
don’t keep this connection to yourself! Dr. Aicker, were practically family.
Next time I want to visit Master Baldwin, I’ll be counting on.
you to set it up! Cedrics face lit up with pride as he happily accepted their praises
Riding the wave of Kingsleys triumph, Cedric found himself basking in newfound admiration from the antiques community.
E Francesca crossed her arms, pouting.
Grandpa, stop dragging Kingsley into your messes ! Cedric chuckled and said, How is it a mess? With my relationship with Dr. Baldwin, this is all perfectly natural.
Francesca stomped her foot in frustration, though her annoyance was tinged with amusement.
Elsie chimed in with a smile.
Ms. Aicker, try to understand.
Dr. Aicker has always been passionate about antiques but never really fit into the community.
Thanks to Mr. Baldwin, hes finally earned his place and a bit of respect.
Francesca paused, her frustration softening
She had to admit it made sense.
Orion had deceived her grandfather before, and as a renowned doctor In Jayrodale, the humiliation had stung deeply.
With Kingsley backing him up and restoring his dignity, Cedrics elation was understandable.
She turned to Kingsley with a warm smile.
Kingsley, you’re truly a jack of all trades, arent you? On behalf of my grandpa, thank you for stepping in and helping him
Francesca felt a genuine sense of respect and admiration toward Kingsley.
His brilliance in medicine was unmatched, and his skill in martial arts seemed bottomless.
Even in the rarefied world of antiques and collectibles, he had demonstrated expertise far beyond anyones expectations
She could not help but wonder in awe how on earth he managed to master it all.
Kingsley smiled.
don’t mention it.
I didnt do much for Dr. Aicker anyway.
That relic just seemed to have a natural connection with him.
Elsie stood quietly to the side, observing Kingsley with subtle interest.
Her thoughts churned as she wondered to herself, Could a man like this truly exist? Someone so composed, charming, and effortlessly skilled in everything he does? From his demeanor and words to his charisma and even his looks, Kingsley checked every box for Elsie.
She had to admit he had a magnetic pull on her, yet she felt a pang of disappointment.
No matter she did, her charm did not catch his attention at all
Just then, a staff member whispered something in Elsies ear, and she hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
Mr. Baldwin, the Jayrodale Antiques Association would like to invite you to join as a member.
Are you interested? Kingsley instinctively wanted to decline.
He was never one to care about club memberships, VIP titles, or committee positions.
Those labels might impress others, but they held no appeal for him, as he preferred to keep to himself.
Before he could turn it down, Francesca interjected with a cheerful laugh.
Thats a great honor! Ive heard that being part of the antiques association earns you much respect. Kingsley, this is perfect for you, especially at your age.
Thank you so much, Ms. Santana! Elsies face lit up.
Then its settled ! I’ll speak to the association president and let them know Mr. Baldwin is officially joining our association.
With both women looking so pleased, Kingsley felt it would be rude to dampen their excitement, so he held back his objections.
He let out a small sigh, resigned to going along with their enthusiasm for now.
After a short break, Elsie announced, Mr. Baldwin, were about to start the highlight of the antiques festival.
Kingsley raised an eyebrow, intrigued
I thought the event was already lively enough.
Whats this highlight you’re talking about? Elsie gave him a sly smile and whispered, The most thrilling part of the festival is stone gambling
Its a tradition where fortunes are made or lost on the gamble of what lies.
