Chapter 146

Chapter 146Chapter 146 – Yvonne shot Kai a glare and snapped, “You’re saying that the watch is a knock-off
without even looking at it! It’s glaringly obvious that you’re jealous! Are you feeling resentful that your
girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend is doing better than you?”
“I’m just stating the facts.” Kai flashed her a faint smile.
In response, Yvonne harrumphed. “Pah! This is plain jealousy! If it’s true, do come up with proof!”
Seeing so many people speaking up for him, Lincoln asserted with a frosty expression, “We’ve just
made each other’s acquaintance today, so why are you targeting me, Kai? If you don’t give me an
explanation for this matter, mark my words that I’m going to have you brought out of here on a
stretcher!”
However, Kai merely sneered, “Okay! You know better than anyone whether the watch is an imitation.
Since you want to be humiliated, don’t blame me for granting you your wish.”
While saying that, he stood up and ordered, “Give me your watch. I’ll pro
ve it to you all!”
Instead of giving the man his watch, Lincoln withdrew his hand and demanded warily, “How are you
planning to prove it? This watch of mine cost a few hundred thousand. Can you afford to replace it if
you were to damage it?”
He would never hand it over, for he knew that it was a knock-off. In truth, he was merely creating an
illusion of being a wealthy man.
“That’s simple. We’ll know whether it’s an imitation after smashing it to the ground,” Kai answered
nonchalantly.As long as the gold watch shattered, one could instantly tell whether it was the real deal. The
mechanisms in an authentic gold watch were made of gold, but a knock-off couldn’t possibly imitate
that as well.
“You want to shatter my watch? This watch cost a few hundred grand, Kai! Can y
ou afford to pay me back after ruining it?” Lincoln questioned guiltily upon hearing that.
He couldn’t allow the man to shatter the watch since it was an imitation, and that would be clear as day
once smashed.
“Exactly! Can you afford to pay for it?”
“You dare smash a watch worth a few hundred thousand? What kind of authentication method is this?”
“Don’t boast if you don’t have that capability! And here I thought that you really knew how to verify
whether it’s real!”
Everyone started criticizing Kai and heaping scorn on him.
Smiling, Kai stated, “There are still other methods to decipher whether it’s the real deal even without
smashing it. Gold is different from other metals, so the answer will be evident as long as we weigh the
watch and compare its weight with the figure stated on the official website.”
No matter how good an imitation was, the weight couldn’t be the same. After all, gold weighed
differently from other metals.
When the others heard that, they found it to be a feasible method as it also wouldn’t ruin the watch.“And I’m supposed to just do as you say?” A glimmer of panic flitted across Lincoln’s eyes. He would
never agree to weigh it, knowing that it would only prove the watch to be a knock-off.
“Kai, you’re jealous of Lincoln and claim that his watch is an imitation, but what if it’s not? There’s no
reason for him to listen to you just because of a baseless remark!” Michelle demanded with her eyes
fixed on Kai.
“If the watch is genuine, I’ll pay for this meal!” Kai declared confidently.
He had full confidence that the watch was a knock-off.
Hearing that, everyone turned to Lincoln. “Just let him weigh it, Lincoln. Since he dared make such a
bold statement, prove him wrong once and for all! Besides, we’ll also be getting a free meal out of it!”
By then, Lincoln was a smidge panicked, and cold sweat started beading on his forehead.
Never had he expected Kai to fixate on his watch.
“This watch requires a precise weighing instrument, but we don’t have it now. How do you want to
weigh it? Don’t tell me you can tell by just weighing it in your hand?” Lincoln questioned.
“All right, I’ll admit that you’re right in that we don’t have a weighing instrument now. However, do you
dare give your watch to me for a look? I’ll only take a look at it,” Kai drawled with a smirk.
“What are you planning to do? Are you going to smash it?” Lincoln asked warily.
“No, I definitely won’t do that. If I damage it even one bit, I’ll pay you back according to the original price
regardless of whether this watch of yours is genuine!”
novelbinKai shook his head. He didn’t need to smash the watch, and he was merely teasing the man when he
said he was going to shatter it to tell whether it was genuine.
