<h4>Chapter 655: Seriously?</h4>


    Alexis looked at the beautiful set of emerald jewelry with fondness and joy written all over her face. She then removed the diamond ne, bracelets, and earrings she was wearing before excitedly putting on the emerald jewelry Lucas had given her.


    But it wasn’t very convenient for her to put on the ne herself, so she looked at Lucas with great anticipation and asked, “Lucas, can you help me put this ne on?”


    Slightly stunned to hear this, Lucas smiled and said, “Of course.”


    He had always treated Alexis as his sister and didn’t harbor any other intentions, so he naturally didn’t pretentiously decline.


    He picked up the exquisite emerald ne, ced it across Alexis’s slender and fair neck, and quickly fastened both ends of the ne.


    Alexis turned around and smiled at Lucas radiantly.


    Upon seeing this scene, Nate gritted his teeth, filled with jealousy.


    Donning the full set of emerald jewelry and the ombré-colored starry dress that already made her look like a fairy in the first ce, Alexis exuded an ethereal aura. As green light glimmered with every movement of hers, she looked even more like an angel that had descended on the world.


    “Wow! Alexis is really pretty today!”


    “She’s simply like a fairy and a celestial princess! We all seem so tacky next to her. I’m so envious!”


    “I’ve decided that I must get an identical set of emerald jewelry. The jewelry goes so well with the dress!”


    …


    Many women looked at Alexis enviously.


    With her outfit and jewelry, Alexis was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the hall!


    Lena looked at Alexis, who became even more beautiful and ethereal after putting on the emerald jewelry. Her eyes were full of envy when she saw the emerald jewelry on her wrists, ears, and neck.


    At this moment, she was extremely jealous of Alexis for receiving such a beautiful set of jewelry from Lucas and getting to hold his hand in front of everyone with the identity of his girlfriend.


    Despite knowing that it was just an act, she was green with envy!


    “I remember someone saying that he would get on his knees and lick Mr. Gray’s shoes if Mr. Gray’s gift for Miss Cole was more expensive, right?” Connor suddenly said with a grin while looking at Das.


    Hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered the good show that was about to begin and immediately rubbed their hands eagerly.


    Das was particrly arrogant and condescending to everyone just because he was close to Nate. He often criticized others and thus ended up offending plenty of people. But most of them chose not to hold it against him on the Walkers’ ount.


    Since Das was the one who had proposed the bet, many guests present seemed to be gloating and waiting to see what this arrogantpdog would do.


    “Das, you are a wealthy scion after all. Are you really going to get on your knees and lick someone else’s shoe? That’s really shocking!”


    “Hahaha, this is definitely a rare scene thates once in a blue moon. I must take a video of this for remembrance!”


    “Hehe, you’re too malicious! But I like it. I’m also going to record a video of what our noble Mr. Watson looks like when licking someone else’s shoe!”


    …


    When Das heard the taunts around him, his face immediately flushed red.


    Lucas said with a smile, “Like I told you before, since you like to lick shoes, I’ll fulfill your wishes. Das Watson, please!”


    He cooperatively put one leg forward, raised his foot, and swung his toes in front of Das.


    Das’s face flushed as red as a tomato. He felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation!


    He said through clenched teeth, “Do you think you won?”


    Lucas smiled. “I’m sure you’ve heard the cost of the gifts just now. Do you think a million dors is more than 1.4 million dors?”


    “Hmph, who knows where you got those fake emeralds to pass off as a 1.4-million jewelry set from the Heavenly Pavilion. Do you take all of us for fools?”


    Das insisted that Lucas bought a counterfeit emerald jewelry set and even rebuked loudly, “If you can really afford such an expensive gift, why would you dress so shabbily and drive such a lousy car? Hmph! I’m right. Pretending is your forte, and you’re an out-and-out swindler!”


    “Huh? That jewelry set is fake?”


    “That can’t be. It has high transparency, which is impossible for fakes to replicate.”


    “Yeah! The jewelry looks gorgeous on Miss Cole. How can it be a counterfeit?”


    “Miss Cole is from a top-tier family, and she has seen all sorts of fine things since she was a child. Moreover, the Coles run an antique and treasures business. If Lucas really gave her a bunch of counterfeits, how could she fail to identify it? Besides, how could she possibly wear a bunch of fakes on her body?”


    “Psht, Das Watson must be deliberately ndering Lucas because he’s a sore loser!”


    “Haha, that must be the case. But Das Watson, you’re the one who lost the bet, and you have to lick Lucas’s shoes. Are you going back on your word?”


    …


    For some time, the air was full ofmotion and mockery.


    Alexis was now donning the set of emerald jewelry that Lucas gave her, so it was obviously genuine.


    Das was just trying toy a trap for Lucas, but he didn’t expect to end up harming himself instead.


    With a look of annoyance, Das wanted to continue arguing, but Keh interjected from the side.


    “Das Watson, Mr. Gray personally picked out this set of emerald jewelry in the Heavenly Pavilion. As the proprietor of the Heavenly Pavilion, I can guarantee that it’s definitely not counterfeit. If you insist on iming that the jewelry is counterfeit, you’re no longer just using Mr. Gray but using our Heavenly Pavilion of selling counterfeit products. Is that what you mean?”


    He red at Das hostilely with a mirthless smile.


    At this moment, many people suddenly came to the realization that the Parkers were the owners of the Heavenly Pavilion.


    Keh was the one who vouched for Lucas, and he was clearly on good terms with him too. How could Lucas possibly give Alexis a set of counterfeit emerald jewelry?


    The truth was now clear, and it was that the emerald jewelry set Lucas gave Alexis was more expensive than the diamond ring Nate gave her.


    Das and Nate both lost the betpletely.


    In that case, what they said about the loser having to lick the shoes of the winner…
