Chapter 147


    “Fine. I don’t mind giving it to you for a look.” Lincoln was afraid that Kai would continue insisting that


    the watch was a knock-off if he refused to give it to him for a look, so he took it off and handed it to the


    man.


    Then, he asserted, “Many people are standing witness for me here! If you smash it, you’ve got to


    compensate me ording to the original price!”


    With that said, he was convinced that Kai wouldn’t dare smash it anymore. Without being weighed, it


    was also impossible to tell the authenticity of the gold watch. After all, it was a top-notch imitation, and


    only an expert appraiser could tell whether it was genuine at a single nce.


    He didn’t believe that Kai could discern that. Kai took the watch from him. After fiddling with it for a


    while, he handed it back to the man.

    “That’s it? You can tell whether it’s the real deal with just a look?” Lincoln regarded him with


    puzzlement written all over his face even as he took his watch back.


    “Yes, I only needed to take a single look.” Kai nodded firmly. “Hmph! How ridiculous!”


    Snorting, Lincoln slipped his watch back onto his wrist.


    Just as everyone was waiting for Kai toe up with the proof, Michelle abruptly shrieked, “Lincoln, q-


    quick, look at your watch!”


    Startled, Lincoln hastily swung his gaze to his watch, only to be wholly stumped. All the others were


    perplexed and shifted their gazes to the man’s watch as well. At a single look, they were all simrly


    floored. The gold watch on Lincoln’s hand had long since lost its golden luster earlier and had turned


    into a coppery color, making it all too clear that it was discoloring


    With that, they could all tell that it was unquestionably an imitation since authentic gold wouldn’t


    discolor. They all stared at Lincoln with a peculiar look in their eyes. The atmosphere also became


    exceedingly awkward.


    “That imitation watch is so inferior that my hand is all covered in gold powder!” Kai snagged a piece of


    wet tissue and wiped his hand, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. Lincoln’s expression turned


    exceedingly grim, bing as ck as thunder.


    Beside him, Michelle gaped at him in shock, at a loss for words. Lincoln, who had initially acted high


    and mighty with an arrogant aura, felt his face ming hotly right then.


    He didn’t even dare look anyone in the eye.


    “Lincoln, could it be that you were duped by that friend of yours? How could he get you a knock-off


    from Sumanthova?” someone couldn’t help asking.


    That reminded Lincoln of a possible excuse, and jubnce immediately inundated him. He lifted his


    head and snarled, “That damn fellow must have duped me! I spent a few hundred grand, yet he dared


    to buy me an imitation watch? I’ll definitely kill him when I catch him!”


    While saying that, he smashed the watch in his hand to the ground, shattering it into smithereens.


    However, the trust earlier was already gone from some of the people’s eyes as they looked at the man.


    After all, it was clear as day that he was using an imitation watch to show off.


    “That swindler is truly despicable! It’s just a three-hundred grand watch, no? Lincoln certainly won’t lie


    about that when he’s driving a car that costs over a million. Why would he still need to buy a knock-off


    to put on a show?” Michelle stood up beside Lincoln and defended him. Seizing that opportunity,


    Lincoln took out his car key and ced it on the table to unt his status.


    “Who knows whether he rented the car?” Kai chimed in with a sneer right then. In fact, many people


    there shared his sentiments.


    After all, Lincoln’s watch was an imitation, so there was a possibility that the Mercedes-Benz was also


    rented. Besides, a day’s fee didn’t cost that much.


    “Nonsense! How could it possibly be a rental? I’ve seen him driving it long before today, not just for


    tonight!” Michelle retorted.


    “The answer will be evident once he shows us the car ownership certificate,” Kai countered.


    As long as Lincoln produced the car ownership certificate, there would be no doubt about the name on


    it at a single nce. Michelle turned to Lincoln, seemingly wanting him to retrieve the car ownership


    certificate to shut Kai up.


    Seeing that, Lincoln hurriedly dered, “It’s too troublesome to go to the car and retrieve it. You just


    want to see whether I’ve got that capability, no? I’ll order a new watch online right away! I find myself


    feeling uneasy without a watch!”
