Chapter 338 Orion staggered to his feet , his bloodshot eyes ring at Andrew as he roared , Andrew , you insolent brat ! This isnt over between us ! Andrew barked , How dare you use that tone with me ! Do you have a death wish ? Covering his face in luumiliation , Orlon , supported by his followers , scrambled toward the exit of the antiques fair .
He did not want to stay even a second longer , fleeing down the bustling street with his pride in shambles .
Christina hesitated and turned to Aspen .
Aspen , no matter what , Mr.
Kelce is still one of the most prominent figures from Bridgefields .
Are you really not going to check on him after such a humiliating defeat ? Aspens tone was icy .
Check on him ? Not a chance .
It doesnt matter .
Mr.
Kelces fury will be something Andrew absolutely cant handle .
Just wait Mr .
Kelce will definitelye back to settle the score , and Andrews the one whos in real trouble now .
Christina frowned .
She could not help but feel that Andrew had gone too far .
Winning was one thing , but forcing someone as esteemed as Orion to kneel and bow was excessive .
Actions like that did not resolve anything .
They only bred resentment and invited retaliation .
Aspen sneered .
Christina , dont be fooled by Andrews arrogance .
Soon enough , hell learn what it means to pay the price for his recklessness .
Christinas eyes widened in surprise .
Aspen , dont tell me youre nning to challenge Andrew in antique appraisal again ? Aspen smirked confidently .
Whats the fun in that ? The real excitement is about to begin anyway .
The uing portion of this event is where the true masters shine , where only those with vision and courage can y .
Meanwhile , on Andrews side , the Jayrodale experts escorted him to a seat of honor with the utmost respect .
Cedric jumped at the chance to im connections .
Mr.
Lloyd and I go way back .
If any of you want to work with him , you can count on me to make the introductions .
Instantly , the other experts began flocking to Cedric .
Dr.
Aicker , you know Mr.
Lloyd ? Thats incredible ! Please , speak highly of me to him ! Dr.
Aicker , youre one of us in Jayrodales antiques circle .
Dont keep this connection to yourself ! Dr.
Aicker , were practically family .
Next time I want to visit Master Lloyd , Ill be counting on .
you to set it up ! Cedrics face lit up with pride as he happily epted their praises .
Riding the wave of Andrews triumph , Cedric found himself basking in newfound admiration from the antiquesmunity .
E Francesca crossed her arms , pouting .
Grandpa , stop dragging Andrew into your messes ! Cedric chuckled and said , How is it a mess ? With my rtionship with Dr.
Lloyd , this is all perfectly natural .
Francesca stomped her foot in frustration , though her annoyance was tinged with amusement .
Elsie chimed in with a smile .
Ms.
Aicker , try to understand .
Dr.
Aicker has always been passionate about antiques but never really fit into themunity .
Thanks to Mr.
Lloyd , hes finally earned his ce and a bit of respect .
Francesca paused , her frustration softening .
She had to admit it made sense .
Orion had deceived her grandfather before , and as a renowned doctor In Jayrodale , the humiliation had stung deeply .
With Andrew backing him up and restoring his dignity , Cedrics tion was understandable .
She turned to Andrew with a warm smile .
Andrew , youre truly a jack of all trades , arent you ? On behalf of my grandpa , thank you for stepping in and helping him .
Francesca felt a genuine sense of respect and admiration toward Andrew .
His brilliance in medicine was unmatched , and his skill in martial arts seemed bottomless .
Even in the rarefied world of antiques and collectibles , he had demonstrated expertise far beyond anyones expectations .
She could not help but wonder in awe how on earth he managed to master it all .
