Chapter 267 This Is a Fake, It Crumbles With Just a Pinch
In Kiera's eyes, whether it was her grandfather or cousin Henry, they had all given Lachlan faceseveral times. They even helped him out a few times! But this guy had been extremely disrespectfultowards the Ward family during their last encounter. How could Kiera not have any objectionstowards Lachlan? Especially since the Ward family had helped this jerk out several times before,leaving her feeling very unfair.
This time around, she seemed to have found an opportunity to make up for it by using Lachlan as ashield against the fat man. Jude Smith, also known as Mr. Smith the fat guy, saw Kiera walking withanother man and his eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment.
"Kiera, my family sent me here to take care of business in Kreanford so I thought I'd come visit yourGrandpa and you in Edoland too. Hehe..."
Jude chuckled.
"I'm doing fine; there's no need for you to go through any trouble on my account."
"Have you eaten yet? My boyfriend and I are taking two kids out for dinner so why don't we eattogether?" Kiera asked nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this suggestion from Kiera, Jude's gaze turned even darker with jealousy towardsLachlan.
"What did you say? Is he your boyfriend?" Jude pointed at Lachlan and asked incredulously.
"Yes! And my grandpa introduced us!" Kiera said while smiling sweetly at Lachlan as if she wereflirting with him.
Lachlan hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to play along by being her shield once sincehe felt guilty about what happened last time between him and the Ward family.
"Hello there! I'm Kiera's boyfriend - Lachlan!" He extended his hand towards Jude while introducinghimself politely
"Screw off! Who do you think you are?"
"Just because of that attitude of yours, you think that makes you worthy enough of being with Kiera? Kid, who is your father ? Speak up!!" Jude directly hit Lachlan's hand away, gritted his teeth whilecursing.
Hearing these words, Lachlan's expression turned cold immediately, "If I am not worthy enough,then how can a pig like yourself be qualified?"
"What did you say?! You dare insult me by calling me pig?"
Upon hearing these words, Jude got angry, his face shaking uncontrollably due to anger. Heshouted furiously, "Listen carefully kid, I am Jude Smith from the Smith family in Iylonio. If anyoneknows what is good for them, they will leave now. Otherwise even if we are in Kreanford, I can stillkill ya. Do ya believe me?"
Upon hearing this, Lachlan laughed out loud. "I don't believe you! Why don't you try and take medown?"
Jude heard this and glared at Lachlan for a moment. But he realized that he didn't bring anybodyguards with him today, and he seemed to have no fear of him. He ultimately decided not toresort to violence.
Despite his size, Jude wasn't good at fighting people, nor did he usually need to use his own handsin such situations as a wealthy young man. "Kid, I don't have time for you right now. Let's just see
what happens!" After snorting coldly at Lachlan's words, Jude decided not to confront him directlybut instead shifted his focus onto Kiera.
The next second, he pulled out an exquisitely crafted box and knelt down on one knee in front ofKiera after opening it up. The jewelry box was made with great attention to detail and even craftedfrom platinum! Inside the box lay a platinum necklace with a sparkling blue sapphire at its end thatshone like a dreamy light! Anyone who looked at it would feel as if they were being drawn into thegemstone itself.
Many women in the restaurant couldn't take their eyes off of this beautiful piece of jewelry.
"Kiera," said Jude affectionately while holding up the necklace towards her face, "This gemstonenecklace represents my feelings for you! I bought it during an auction in Akuth specifically for youwhen I came here. Please accept it..."
To be honest, given his appearance alone, playing such tricks like kneeling down on one knee wasreally cringe-worthy; however, many women present couldn't help but wish they were Kiera insteadbecause of how much attention this wealthy young man had attracted by giving away such anexquisite piece of jewelry.
"Wow! What a beautiful gemstone!"
"If someone proposed marriage using this gemstone necklace on me, then I would definitely sayyes!"
"Yes indeed! Even if there is no dowry involved, I would still marry him!"
"Get lost! This gemstone necklace is obviously worth quite some money so naturally there wouldn'tbe any dowry involved."
The diners inside the restaurant, especially women, spoke back-and-forth about what they sawbefore them; even Kiera herself was attracted by the beauty of this particular item momentarily.novelbin
However, she shook her head after considering everything, "Mr. Smith, please put it away. It's toovaluable. I can't accept something like that."
Hearing these words caused Jude's eyes flicker with disappointment, "Kiera, only someone asdivine as yourself could match up against something like 'the heart-of-the-sea' pendant… If youwon't accept, then all I can do is throw it away!"
A look of speechlessness crossed over Kiera's pretty face, "Then go ahead and throw it away!"
Jude's tone faltered as he looked at Kiera, who remained indifferent. He stood up with a hint ofannoyance and said, "Kiera, if we can be together, it would be good for you and your family!Whether or not the Ward family can return to Iylonio depends on you!"
Kiera's expression turned completely cold upon hearing this. "Mr. Smith, who I am with is my ownbusiness and has nothing to do with my family. You don't need to pressure me like this; it's useless."
"And besides, I already have someone I like. Thank you for your misguided love," she added as sheturned towards Lachlan with a smile that seemed to suggest she was deeply in love.
Jude gritted his teeth and pointed at Lachlan. "This guy? What do you see in him?"
He then provocatively looked at Lachlan and said, "Kid, have you seen this necklace? It cost mefive million euros from Akuth auction house. What about you? What have you given Kiera? Don't tellme that you're just a gold digger?"
Upon hearing Jude's words, Lachlan broke out into sweat thinking how accurate he was about himbeing a gold digger initially but eventually becoming more independent.
Lachlan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the necklace in Jude's hand before bursting intolaughter.
"Fatty, you're dressed up all stylishly, pretending to be some big shot from Iylonio. Just using a fakenecklace to deceive people, huh?"
Jude froze for a moment before gritting his teeth again saying, "What did you say? Fake?! Are youtrying to insult me because maybe deep down inside yourself you know that even if it's fake its stillworth more than what your poor ass could ever afford?"
Everyone else in the restaurant stared suspiciously and mockingly towards Lachlan after hearingJude's words.
"That's right! This guy can't afford anything so he tries belittling others!"
"What trash!"
"How could such a beautiful woman fall for him?"
"Anyone knows how valuable this gemstone necklace is!"
However, Lachlan remained calm despite everyone else's ridicule, "Of course it's fake! It wouldn'teven take much effort on my part since its so low quality compared real ones!"
Hearing this statement, Jude burst into laughter thinking that no one would believe such an absurdclaim, "What did you say?! You think that by crushing one blue sapphire stone will prove anything?"
"Come on then! If your really capable of doing so, then show us!"
"If you indeed crush it, I'll change my last name!"
The other people in the restaurant also let out a chorus of hisses. Who didn't know that diamondswere the hardest substance in the world? How could they be crushed by hand?
