Chapter 336 However- Andrew began .


    Just then , Christina cut in excitedly .


    While everyone was nervous , Mr.


    Cooper remainedpletely calm ! Thats how you knew both bowls were fake .


    He would have been panicking about their safety if they were real .


    Exactly .


    Andrew nodded with approval .


    Christina felt conflicted .


    She was smart enough to run Jayrodale as CEO , but she would never have thought of such a brilliantly simple method .


    It seemed that her intelligence was nothingpared to Andrews .


    The crowd erupted in amazement as the mystery was solved .


    Incredible ! He used psychology to authenticate antiques .


    Mr.


    Lloyd , youre truly the best ! Another expert inted , This is pure genius ! Ive been authenticating pieces for 20 years , but todays lesson has shown me Ive still got more to learn! Theres no doubt that Mr.


    Kelce has lost ! Aspen desperately searched for another angle to refute Andrews ims but found none .


    She thought bitterly , He really beat Mr.


    Kelce .


    As fellow Bridgefields residents , weve embarrassed ourselves .


    Aspen felt like Andrew had just pped her hard across the face .


    She bit her lip , standing silently on the edge of the crowd , unable to say a word .


    Her gaze flickered to Orion , and the sight of him made her heart sink he was clearly furious but she did not dare to show it , pacing anxiously like a cornered animal ,pletely out of options .


    Mr.


    Kelce , Im sorry , Aspen thought to herself with a faint sense of pity .


    But even I cant help you now .


    Without realizing it , she edged further away from the crowd , unwilling to get involved .


    Mr.


    Kelce , you lost .


    Francescas voice rang out loud and clear , filled with malice .


    And since you lost , shouldnt you follow through on what you promised ? Isnt it time to kneel before him ? Francesca was not about to let Orion off the hook .


    She loathed the man , and this was her chance for payback .


    Her words immediately turned the crowds attention to him , their eyes brimming with expectation and disdain .


    The message was obvious : kneel and admit his ws , or the hundreds of collectors and dealers gathered here would not let him walk away unscathed .


    Orion gritted his teeth .


    Fine , Ill admit it I underestimated you .


    But to kneel and apologize ? Do you even realize what it would mean if someone like me , Orion Kelce , bowed down to you ? Could you even handle it ?  Chapter 330 Andrew sped his hands behind his back , his expression calm butced with a mocking smile .


    Mr.


    Kelce , thats such a strange thing to say .


    Why wouldnt I be able to handle it ? Having a renowned figure like you admitting his mistakes and kneeling before me sounds great , doesnt it ? His smile widened as he added , Honestly , Id be thrilled ! Orions face turned red with rage , and his voice thundered , You insolent brat ! Do you really intend to humiliate me to the very end ? He had not evennelt yet , and this arrogant kid was already acting like he was the elder in charge .


    Orion had spent his entire life towering over others , receiving their bows and gratitude as they called him respectfully .


    Never not once had he been forced to kmeel before someone .


    To him , this was not just a loss ; it was the ultimate insult .


    And it was utterly unbearable .
