Chapter 323 Aspen smiled sweetly and said , Mr.


    Kelce , back in Bridgefields , youre considered a legend in the antique world , always sharp with your words .


    She nced around dramatically .


    I see that even here in Jayrodale , youve kept your genuine style .


    I must say , I admire your consistency .


    Orions face lit up with pride .


    Ah , finally , someone who gets me ! So many think Im just showing off or looking down on others , but why would I need to pretend at my level ? Like you said , this is just who I am straightforward and honest .


    I never sugarcoat my words .


    Aspens gaze shifted over the crowd beforending on Andrew , her smile turning icy .


    Mr.


    Kelce , we Bridgefields folk like to let our skills and logic speak for themselves .


    However , som people here just cant seem to respect us , no matter what .


    Orion smirked .


    Oh ? And whos bold enough to disrespect us ? Aspen pointed directly at Andrew .


    Its him , Mr.


    Kelce .


    His names Andrew Lloyd .


    Ever since I arrived in Jayrodale , he hasnt missed a chance to belittle me .


    Orion immediately turned his attention to Andrew , his look filled with disdain .


    He mocked , I thought you were talking about someone important , but its just a young pup .


    What I deal with is art , history , and fine collectibles .


    A kid like this probably cant even tell a teapot from a soupdle .


    No need to point him out and embarrass yourself , my dear .


    Several of Orions followers burst intoughter .


    Exactly ! Mr.


    Kelce is a celebrated collector and a giant in the field .


    This kid ? Hes nothing .


    Mr.


    Kelce came to grace this appraisal event , not to entertain amateurs .


    Why bother with a nobody ? If this kid crossed Ms.


    Stevens , just let us know and well teach him a lesson .


    But talking ues and sophistication ? Dont waste Mr.


    Kelces time its beneath him .


    Francescas face turned beet red with anger .


    Ms.


    Stevens , you think you can throw your weight around here in Jayrodale just because youre from Bridgefields ? Aspen chuckled lightly , her demeanor calm .


    Ms.


    Aicker , theres no need to get so worked up .


    I simply cant stand people who dont know the first thing about antiques showing up here .


    Its pathetic that he doesnt notice hespletely out of ce .


    Elsie frowned , visibly displeased .


    Ms.


    Stevens , Mr.


    Lloyd is a guest of the event organizers .


    Dont you think your words are going too far ? Feigning hurt , Aspen gave an exaggerated bow .


    If I upset you , Ms.


    Santana , I apologize .


    But I dont think I said anything untrue .


    Antique appraisal and collecting are refined , academic pursuits .


    If someone unqualifiedes to watch from the sidelines , fine but strutting into the appraisal center ? Its unbearable .


    Chapter 323 Orionughed heartily .


    Aspen , your sharp tongue is as lively as ever , and I like it .


    For those whock talent , theres no need to waste pleasantries .


    Keep them at arms length .


    Christina , who had been quiet this entire time , sighed to herself .


    This was a high stakes appraisal event , and Andrew could have stayed on the sidelines , but no he had to insert himself into the middle of the storm .


    Did he not realize who attended events like this ? They were either people with wealth to spare , hunting for rare pieces to add to their collections , or seasoned experts at the top of their game .
