Chapter 145 An Imitation Watch
“Whoa! Listen to his bragging! I’ve never heard of anyone having a coughing fit after drinking cheap
wine!”
“Why are you acting all high and mighty when you’re merely an ex-convict? You’ve probably never even
drank Sauvignon Blanc!”
“I really can’t stand listening to him anymore! It’s hurting my ears!”
When the crowd heard Jared’s comment, they all went into an uproar.
Michelle snickered disdainfully before saying to Hilda, “Look at your boyfriend, Hilda! What a weirdo!
Never mind if he’s poor, but he’s acting as though he’s rich!”
Hilda ignored her though she, too, didn’t quite understand what was going on with Jared that day.
“Jared, if my eyes serve me right, you drive a Ford, right? These few bottles of wine might even be
enough to buy your car. Why are you still keeping up the charade?” Lincoln questioned with a smirk.
It wasn’t until after hearing his remark did the others notice a Ford car key at Jared’s waistband.

I can drive Tommy’s Bentley anytime. Besides, the entire Templar Regiment is mine, let alone a car!
Pfft!
Lincoln had just taken a sip of water when he spurted it out after hearing that.
“Hahaha! In all my years, I’ve never seen someone so calm and unruffled while blowing his own trumpet.
You’re something else! You’ve got a Bentley? I bet you’ve never even seen one, have you?”
Lincoln doubled over in laughter, laughing so hard that he was snorting.
Everyone else guffawed as well, convulsing with laughter. Some even laughed so hard that tears trickled
out of their eyes.
“I’m nothing compared to you. I’ve never seen someone who can still be so calm and unruffled, even
feigning generosity by offering to treat everyone to a meal after swindling a woman!” Jared countered
with a cold chuckle.
The smile on Lincoln’s face vanished at once, to be replaced by a grim expression the instant he heard
that.
“What are you talking about? I don’t get it!” he demanded, his eyes narrowing into slits.
“You’re well aware of what I’m talking about. After all, you know better than me whether you swindled
anyone!”
Jared likewise stared him in the eye without giving him any quarter.
Their gazes locked, and the atmosphere in the private room turned tense.
“What a load of crap! Lincoln’s watch alone costs a few hundred thousand! How could he possibly
swindle anyone?” Michelle bellowed at Jared.
In her eyes, Lincoln was an ideal man with talent and wealth. Thus, it made no sense that such a wealthy
person would con someone else.
“Exactly! I’m afraid you can’t afford his watch even if you were to clean out your savings! Stop slandering
him!” Yvonne seconded.
It was evident that no one believed Jared’s claim that Lincoln would swindle someone.

“What’s so great when it’s just an imitation watch?” Jared snorted.
Ever since he stepped into the room, he had realized that the watch was fake. He only needed to release
some spiritual energy to know whether it was genuine.
An imitation watch?
Everyone swung their gazes at Lincoln. Even Hilda, who had been comforting Yolanda, couldn’t help
glancing at the gold watch on the man’s wrist.
A flash of panic flickered across Lincoln’s face. He then went ballistic and snarled, “Nonsense! I got this
watch from Sumanthova! Have you ever seen a gold watch? How dare you insist that it’s an imitation?”
“Jared, it’s fine if you envy Lincoln, but how could you say that his watch is an imitation? It’s just worth a
few hundred grand, isn’t it? He has plenty of money, so why would he wear something fake? He drives a
Mercedes-Benz S-class. Don’t tell me you’re going to say that his car is also a knock-off?” Michelle
challenged Jared.
“Considering his status, how could he possibly wear an imitation watch?”
“I’d heard that he’s loaded back when we were studying. As such, he can’t possibly wear a knock-off!”
“I pity you, but you should also work hard to make something of yourself! You can’t simply say that
someone else is wearing an imitation just because you don’t have it! What kind of mentality is that?”
Following Michelle’s remark, everyone started condemning Jared.
