Chapter 145


    “Whoa! Listen to his bragging! I’ve never heard of anyone having a coughing fit after drinking cheap


    wine!”


    “Why are you acting all high and mighty when you’re merely an ex-convict? You’ve probably never


    even drank Sauvignon nc!”


    “I really can’t stand listening to him anymore! It’s hurting my ears!”


    When the crowd heard Kai’sment, they all went into an uproar.


    Michelle snickered disdainfully before saying to Hilda, “Look at your boyfriend, Hilda! What a weirdo!


    Never mind if he’s poor, but he’s acting as though he’s rich!”


    Hilda ignored her though she, too, didn’t quite understand what was going on with Kai that day.


    “Kai, if my eyes serve me right, you drive a Ford, right? These few bottles of wine might even be


    enough to buy your car. Why are you still keeping up the charade?” Lincoln questioned with a smirk.


    It wasn’t until after hearing his remark did the others notice a Ford car key at Kai’s waistband.


    “I’m just supportive of local products. I’ve got a Bentley, but I don’t like to drive it,” Kai rified mildly.


    I can drive Tommy’s Bentley anytime. Besides, the entire Temr Regiment is mine, let alone a car!


    Pfft!


    Lincoln had just taken a sip of water when he spurted it out after hearing that.


    “Hahaha! In all my years, I’ve never seen someone so calm and unruffled while blowing his own


    trumpet. You’re something else! You’ve got a Bentley? I bet you’ve never even seen one, have you?”


    Lincoln doubled over inughter,ughing so hard that he was snorting.


    Everyone else guffawed as well, convulsing withughter. Some evenughed so hard that tears


    trickled out of their eyes.


    “I’m nothingpared to you. I’ve never seen someone who can still be so calm and unruffled, even


    feigning generosity by offering to treat everyone to a meal after swindling a woman!” Kai countered with


    a cold chuckle.


    The smile on Lincoln’s face vanished at once, to be reced by a grim expression the instant he heard


    that.


    “What are you talking about? I don’t get it!” he demanded, his eyes narrowing into slits.


    “You’re well aware of what I’m talking about. After all, you know better than me whether you swindled


    anyone!”


    Kai likewise stared him in the eye without giving him any quarter.


    Their gazes locked, and the atmosphere in the private room turned tense.


    “What a load of crap! Lincoln’s watch alone costs a few hundred thousand! How could he possibly


    swindle anyone?” Michelle bellowed at Kai.


    In her eyes, Lincoln was an ideal man with talent and wealth. Thus, it made no sense that such a


    wealthy person would con someone else.


    “Exactly! I’m afraid you can’t afford his watch even if you were to clean out your savings! Stop


    ndering him!” Yvonne seconded.


    It was evident that no one believed Kai’s im that Lincoln would swindle someone.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “What’s so great when it’s just an imitation watch?” Kai snorted.


    Ever since he stepped into the room, he had realized that the watch was fake. He only needed to


    release some spiritual energy to know whether it was genuine.


    An imitation watch?


    Everyone swung their gazes at Lincoln. Even Hilda, who had beenforting Ynda, couldn’t help


    ncing at the gold watch on the man’s wrist.


    A sh of panic flickered across Lincoln’s face. He then went ballistic and snarled, “Nonsense! I got this


    watch from Sumanthova! Have you ever seen a gold watch? How dare you insist that it’s an imitation?”


    “Kai, it’s fine if you envy Lincoln, but how could you say that his watch is an imitation? It’s just worth a


    few hundred grand, isn’t it? He has plenty of money, so why would he wear something fake? He drives


    a Mercedes-Benz S-ss. Don’t tell me you’re going to say that his car is also a knock-off?” Michelle


    challenged Kai.


    “Considering his status, how could he possibly wear an imitation watch?”


    “I’d heard that he’s loaded back when we were studying. As such, he can’t possibly wear a knock-off!”


    “I pity you, but you should also work hard to make something of yourself! You can’t simply say that


    someone else is wearing an imitation just because you don’t have it! What kind of mentality is that?”


    Following Michelle’s remark, everyone started condemning Kai.
