My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 495

As Natasha chatted with the foreign guest, she deliberately pulled Sophia closer as she shared the history and the exquisite details of this watch with her. She knew that Sophia was clueless when it came to things like this!

“This watch was released twenty years ago. At that time, there were only ten pieces in the world. Due to the exclusiveness, the watches were very valuable but so far, there are only two of them left. Collectors around the world go crazy over it. Look at the exquisite workmanship, Sophia. This was handmade by the famous master Justin—”

Silently, Sophia watched as Natasha happily chatted with the guest. When Sophia did not speak, Natasha pulled her over and insisted she stayed and joined in on their conversation.

Of course, Natasha did not actually want Sophia to join in. In fact, her intentions were just to make sure Sophia felt inferior and clueless, as well as embarrass her in front of the foreign guest. Not only did Sophia not want to join in their conversation, she couldn’t join in even if she wanted to. However, Natasha would not let her go and was determined to embarrass Sophia today.

Sophia—who was still being tugged by Natasha—felt she would be considered impolite if she left when the guest was still enthusiastically discussing watches. If she were to admit that she was clueless about watches, that would have been an insult to her status as a student representative. As the outstanding student representative of Bayside University, how could she not know anything about famous watches?

Even the school leader noticed that Natasha was deliberately causing trouble for Sophia, hence Quinton hurriedly approached them to smooth things over and joined in on the conversation. “Oh—this watch? I remember when it first released and how sensational it was back then. It’s too bad that there are only two of them left. This is indeed a iconic watch in the history of watches.”

Nonetheless, Natasha was not having it. She insisted Sophia join in on their conversation. “Sophia, didn’t you say you really liked this watch? Why don’t you look happy now that you’ve seen it?

Glancing at Natasha who was desperately trying to embarrass her, Sophia finally spoke, “No, because I know the third piece still exists.”

“The third piece?” Instantly, the guest was taken aback. He repeated her words incredulously, “The third piece still exists?” Back then, when he bought this watch from the auction house, it was extremely precious and was priced as such because there were only two of them left in the world. Yet, Sophia was telling him now that there was a third one?

Upon hearing that, Quinton was startled as well. Is there really a third piece?

Nodding, Sophia confirmed. “Yes, there is indeed a third piece.”

“Where’s the third piece?” the guest hurriedly questioned.

Glancing at Natasha, Sophia’s lips curled upward. “The second piece belongs to Miss Natasha’s father and the third piece belongs to her husband, Mr. Taylor Murray!”

Dumbfounded, Natasha glared at Sophia as she struggled to react. Meanwhile, the foreign guest furrowed his eyebrows. As he gave Natasha a strange look, he suspiciously repeated, “The third piece belongs to Mr. Murray?”

That meant Natasha had seen all three pieces of the watch, so why did she confidently state that there were only two left?

Upon verifying Michael Fletcher’s watch, the guest excitedly turned to Natasha. “Do you have any pictures of your father’s watch?”

All at once, Natasha was disgruntled. However, she had no choice but to force a smile and continue to cover up her lies. “Coincidentally, I don’t have any photos of it. I’ll be sure to show them to you once I find it later.”

Unexpectedly, the guest believed her. “Yes, of course. When I bought this watch, the seller had sworn this was one of the only two that was left; the other eight were confirmed to be destroyed. I could take the evidence and demand an apology from him. This is such an insult to the watch!”

In their circle, this was equivalent to illicitly exaggerating the value. It was an utter disgrace to the community of watch collectors! If there were three pieces left, the value of the watch would be vastly different compared to if there were only two left.

Back then, the seller swore that there were only two pieces. If the guest had any verification of the third piece, he could prove that the seller was lying! Not only would he want an apology from the seller, he wanted compensation too.

Instantly, Natasha felt uneasy and started to break out in a cold sweat as she realized she had gotten herself into big trouble. If she could get her hands on any proof that the third piece existed, then she would have offended a watch collector who would definitely confront her about it. On the other hand, if she could not provide any proof of the third piece, her lie would be exposed on the spot.

How was she going to get herself out of this?
