Chapter 606
"This chess set looks pretty good, huh? Especially the board, all shiny and golden. Can a fake really be
this good? I doubt it." Jessamyn clearly didn't believe Arabella's words.
Suri also tried to help the Winters family out, "Bella, did you see a picture of this chess set online, and
that's how you spotted the difference? You can't trust pictures on the internet, you know. The pixel
quality can distort the real thing."
They should always trust their own eyes. Only what they saw with their own eyes was real!
Romeo, supporting Arabella by her slender waist, said, "Jessamyn asked my fiancée for her opinion,
and she just told the truth. She didn't mean any offense. She's right; this chess set does look ordinary.
Can't we accept the truth these days? Do we have to flatter her?"
His words not only made the Winters family uncomfortable but also embarrassed Jessamyn and Suri.
"Romeo, do you think so too?" Enid bit her lip. Clearly, Romeo was defending this girl and even calling
her his fiancée, giving her a lot of credit!
What kind of tricks did this girl use?
"Find a new nickname." Romeo looked into Enid's eyes and said indifferently, "We've only met a few
times. We're not close. You're too familiar, and it can lead to misunderstandings."
Mr. Winters, seeing Romeo defend that girl time and time again, making his granddaughter
uncomfortable, finally spoke.
"Enid knew that Shirley loves chess. She went through a lot of trouble and pulled many strings to get
this. It's a token of her respect for Shirley. Now that it's being called a fake, it's understandable that
she's upset. The Winters family wouldn't deceive people with a fake, would we?"
Sitting at the head of the table, Shirley gave a graceful smile and said, "Whether this chess set is real
or fake, it's the thought that counts, Enid. But I can't accept such an expensive gift. You should take it
back."
After saying this, she closed the lid, and Brodie placed the gift on the table before Enid.
It was clear. She was expected to take it with her when she left.
"Bella, come over here." Shirley beckoned to Arabella.
Arabella was pulled to sit between her and Phillip. Shirley affectionately patted Arabella's hand, "I like
kids who tell it like it is. I've seen too many people with ulterior motives over the years. I prefer
someone like you!"
Her words made everyone else's faces even more uncomfortable.
"Young people should be like this. It reminds me that I had the same character when I was young."
Shirley said this and started laughing.
Sitting on the couch, Enid clearly wasn't convinced, "Grandma Shirley, Ms. Bella hasn't explained
what's fake about my chess set!"
If Arabella can't provide a specific reason today, she won't let it go!
Originally, Shirley had diverted the topic, but now Enid brought it up again, making the atmosphere
awkward similarly.
"Maybe Enid doesn't understand how this chess set could be fake. Did Ms. Bella make a mistake, or
does she not know how to tell the difference." Suri tried to help explain, "What Ms. Bella is questioning
is not just the chess set, but also Enid's respect for Shirley."
"You can question my things, but if you question my feelings for Shirley, that's not okay!" Enid clearly
wanted to vent, "Please, Ms. Bella, point out what's fake about this chess set!"
Mr. Winters pretended to be generous and laughed, "Young people these days love to make a fuss. Let
them sort it out. We adults can just sit back and enjoy the show. They're still young, still full of energy.
Come on, Phillip, Shirley, let's continue drinking our coffee."
He didn't stop his granddaughter but instead encouraged her to keep going. This was his extreme
indulgence toward her.
Phillip was a bit upset. If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Winters had once saved his son's life, he would
have asked them to leave. He wouldn’t let them stay here.
Just as Phillip was about to interject, Arabella spoke.
