DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 344
Chapter 344 Aspen smirked and said, Ms.
Santana, you sure are devoted to Mr.
Lloyd.
From the beginning, youve been protecting this so called expert at every turn.
Arent you worried that the rest of us collectors might feel a little neglected? Elsie responded calmly, Im not sure I understand what you mean, Ms.
Stevens.
Mr.
Lloyd is a distinguished guest of Radiant Group, and its my job to assist him.
Is there an issue with that? Aspen let out a disdainful laugh
For someone to earn such exceptional treatment from you, Ms.
Santana, they must be quite the expert.
So, Mr.
Lloyd, how about it? Are you brave enough to take me on ? Dont chicken out now after all your earlier bravado
All eyes turned to Andrew, their curiosity piqued.
His earlier confrontation with Orion had been impressive, earning hfin widespread admiration, but
gemstone cutting was an entirely different challenge.
, Someone encouraged, Mr.
Lloyd, your expertise in antiques is remarkable.
Surely you can hold your own in gemstone cutting, too.
Exactly! Win or lose, youre already a rising star in Jayrodales collectors circle.
Show them what youve got! another added.
However, a few older experts from the antique association, who were more cautious and well-meaning, tried to dissuade him.
Mr.
Lloyd, your reputation is hard earned.
Gemstone cutting is unpredictable, and gambling on it carries great risks.
We advise you to proceed with caution.
While some were eager to see a showdown, others genuinely wanted to protect Andrews burgeoning reputation.
Aspen, however, stood by, her smile growing colder by the second
She thought to herself that if Andrew backed out now, he would be branded a coward
However, if he took the bait and accepted her challenge, she would finally have her chance to humiliate him and settle past scores.
Either way, she saw herself winning.
Andrew chuckled lightly, his tone was casual yet firm.
Since Ms.
Stevens is so insistent and everyones clearly looking forward to it, refusing would indeed make me look like a coward
I suppose I have no choice but to play along.
Aspens smile froze for a moment as she processed his reply.
Was he really this fearless or just foolish? Christina shook her head in exasperation.
Andrew, cant you see shes goading you? This is exactly what she wants! Elsie, looking anxious, pleaded, Mr.
Lloyd, gemstone cutting is far too uncertain
Theres not need to engage with Aspen she clearly came prepared, and it wouldnt be a fair match, Andrew smiled reassuringly.
Dont worry
If anything, Im afraid it might not be fair for her.
Elsie stood stunned.
Did he really mean what hest sald? Could he truly be that confident? Francesca, torn between
excitement and concern chimed in, Andrew, if things go south, promise me well stop before its too late. Andrews eyes gleamed coldly as he replied, Id love to lose, but unfortunately, my skill wont allow it. Aspens voice rang out sharply, cutting through the murmurs.
