Chapter 211 Fake
Desmond’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
However, he was brought up in a prominent family, so he refused to apologize to a loser.
Gritting his teeth, he sneered, “Ha! I don’t like owing favors. Tell me. What do you want from me?”
He rolled up his sleeves and showed Alex his arm. “Look, this is a vintage Patek Philippe watch got forone and a half million at an auction. Have you ever seen something this good?”
The watch on his hand sparkled in the sunlight. As the crowd took in the astonishingly intricateengravings adorning the watch’s 18k white gold case, their eyes widened in disbelief.
It seemed to be a genuine Patek Philippe model. No wonder it was worth over one million.
Vicks swallowed hard upon seeing the expensive watch. He blurted enviously, “Damn, that’s a rareitem!”
“Ha! Of course!” Desmond was pleased with the crowd’s reaction. He started putting on an arrogantfront as his fear disappeared in an instant.
“Is this watch enough?” He was about to remove the watch to give it to Alex.
Alex stared at the pretentious man and grinned. “You’re rich, huh? Your watch seems nice, but it’s sucha pity that it’s a fake.”
Desmond looked taken aback as he retaliated, “Nonsense! There’s no way my Patek’s a fake!”
“If you don’t believe me, just ask the other antique dealers around.”
Alex shrugged and continued, “Some people are rich but know nothing about antiques. If they insist onpretending, they might end up being deceived by their so–called friends.”

Fury overwhelmed Desmond when he realized Alex’s sarcastic words were directed at him. He angrily,“If my watch is genuine, you need to get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness. How’s that?”
“Sure,” Alex agreed casually. “I can’t believe you thought this fake Patek is real – it’s as if you’vemistaken glass for diamond.”
A red blush crept up Desmond’s cheeks upon hearing his insults. He turned to the crowd andcommanded, “Nolan, Leeroy. Help me appraise this watch.”
The antique dealers who he had just called exchanged glances, obviously torn.
If they agreed to appraise the watch, they would end up offending one or the other.
“Mr. Jones, we aren’t skilled enough to appraise your watch.”
Desmond retorted furiously, “I know what you’re capable of. Appraise my watch, now. It doesn’t matterif my watch turns out to be fake – I promise I wouldn’t come after you because of it. But don’t you daretry
to fool me, I’ll get someone else to appraise it later, and I won’t spare you if you dare to lie to me.”
“Mr. Jones, don’t get mad.”
The both of them immediately approached him, trembling in fear.

No one at Portabello Street dared to go against Desmond Jones, so the antique dealers had no choicebut to take his watch and appraise it.
After a few minutes, one of them replied in a trembling voice, “M–Mr. Jones, that man is right. Yourwatch…”
“Say it!” Desmond ordered.
The antique dealer hurriedly explained, “Your watch is a replica
At his words, Desmond turned ghastly pale before he flushed a bright red, as if someone had justslapped him forcefully.
He swallowed a few times, seconds away from exploding in anger.
The two antique dealers hurriedly retreated to the crowd in fear.novelbin
