Chapter 608 Mr. Eugene was totally nuts about chess.
He paid a hefty price for this chess set and even splurged on a fancy box to store it in!
How did this box end up in Arabellaâs hands? Could it be the real deal inside?
âSorry to keep you waiting.â
Arabella handed the gift box to Shirley, smiling, âI planned to bring you this chess set next time but didnât expect this twist. So, Iâm gifting it to you now. Hope you like it.â
Arabellaâs gesture took aback Shirley. She had planned to gift her this chess set all along.
Her face lit up with joy, and she asked Phillip to open it. The chess set and board inside were even more uniform and beautiful.
âHow can this be?â Jessamyn said, surprised, âHow can there be two identical chess sets?â
Arabellaâs chess set, in terms of color and workmanship, was no less than Enidâs. Were fakes nowadays really this convincing?
Suri also couldnât believe her eyes. In this chess set of Arabellaâs, there wasnât a single flaw.
Mr. Winters also looked a bit off. He didnât expect the chess set in Arabellaâs hands to be this convincing.
âMy chess set was bought from the granddaughter of the previousâcollector, and thereâs no way itâs fake! Where did you get yours?â
Arabella looked up, her eyes clear, and said lightly, âMr. Eugene doesnât have a granddaughter.â
This claim took everyone by surprise!
Everyone knew that Mr. Eugene had a granddaughter, but he was very private, so hardly anyone had seen her.
Arabella insisted, âYouâve been duped.â
Enid clenched her fists, âYouâre talking nonsense! I have the contact of Mr. Eugeneâs granddaughter! I can see her on Facebook!
There are lots of pictures of her with Mr. Eugene!
Some pictures were even taken in Mr. Eugeneâs yard. If she wasnât his granddaughter, how could she appear in his house in her pajamas, taking affectionate pictures with him?!
âThe person you know is definitely not Mr. Eugeneâs granddaughter. Youâve been fooled.â
Hearing Arabella say this, Enid got even more furious, âDo you know Mr. Eugene? How do you know he doesnât have a granddaughter? You still havenât answered where you got your chess set from! If youâre lying today, not only do you ruin the friendship between the McMillian family and the Winters family, but you also tarnish Mr. Eugeneâs reputation!â
After all, she claimed that Mr. Eugene didnât have a granddaughter!
âMy chess set was given to me by Mr. Eugene.â
Once Arabella said this, the room went silent with shock!
No! Impossible!!
Mr. Eugene loved chess. How could he give away his beloved treasure to a little girl?
Even his granddaughter had to work hard for over three months to get this chess set.
Mr. Winters was the first to laugh, clearly thinking that Arabella was joking!
Didnât he know Mr. Eugeneâs temper? He was a grumpy old man, and it was impossible for him to favor a little girl and give away his cherished collection.
This was a colossal joke!
This girlâs lies were getting more and more absurd!
Enid also laughed, âMs. Bella, your ability to concoct lies is truly commendable. You say you know Mr. Eugene and that he gave your chess set? Do you have any proof?â
âI have his contact.â
Mr. Winters found it even funnier after hearing this, âMs. Bella, let me tell you, I know Mr. Eugene, and I recognize his voice. He doesnât just give out his contact to anyone.â
He had been ruthlessly denied when he wanted Mr. Eugeneâs contact.
He had tried to buy that chess set before, and no matter how much he tried to please, Mr. Eugene simply would disagree!
And this girl managed to get Mr. Eugene to give it to her willingly?
What a Joke!
Arabella took out her phone and dialed a number.
