Chapter 341 Make a Call
It was said Carroll loved chess a lot….
When he bought the chess at a high price, he also spent a lot of money on an exquisite box to store the chess!
How could Paige have the chess? Was it the real deal?
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Paige placed the gift box in front of Rosa with both hands and smiled faintly, “I wanted to bring the chess to you next time, but I didn’t expect such an episode to happen. I want to take this opportunity to give it to you, Rosa. I wonder if you like it.”
Rosa didn’t expect Paige to think that. She had long wanted to give the chess to Rosa…
She smiled and asked Killian to open it for her. Inside was more translucent and beautiful chess and chessboard…
“How can…” Ashlyn was shocked. “How can there be two identical sets of chess…”
It seemed the color and workmanship of Paige’s chess were as good as Adrianna’s. Now the fake looked so real?
Diana couldn’t believe her eyes. She couldn’t find any flaws in Paige’s chess.
Scott’s face looked sour. He did not expect Paige’s chess to look so authentic….
“I bought this chess from the granddaughter of a collector. It can’t be fake! Where did you get this?”
Paige looked up and said casually, “Carroll doesn’t have a granddaughter.”
When that was said, everyone was shocked! Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
It was well known Carroll had a granddaughter, but Carroll kept it secret, so few people had seen his grandchildren…
“You were cheated,” Paige said confidently.
“Nonsense! I have friended Mr. Schultz on Line! I can also see her Instagram posts! There are many photos of her and Mr. Schultz!”
Some photos were taken in Carrow’s yard. If she hadn’t been his granddaughter, how could she have been in Carroll’s house in pajamas and taken pictures with him?
“Oh, then I am sure she isn’t Mr. Schultz’s granddaughter. You must have been cheated.”
Hearing Paige say that, Adrianna became furious. “Do you know Mr. Schultz? How do you know if he has a granddaughter? You haven’t answered where you bought your chess! If you lie today, not only will you ruin the friendship between the Stowe family and the Hart family, but you will also ruin. Mr. Schultz’s reputation!”
After all, she said Carroll did not have a granddaughter!
“Mr. Schultz gave me the chess.”
When Paige said that, everyone was shocked!
No!
Impossible!
Carroll loved chess so much. How could he give his beloved treasure to a little girl?
His granddaughter had to pester him for more than three months to get the chess.
Scott laughed out loud, apparently taking Paige’s words as a joke!
He knew Carroll was a strange old man with a bad temper. How could he value a little girl and even give her his beloved collection….
It was simply a big joke!
Paige’s lie sounded *****!
Adrianna also laughed, “Ms. Lusk, your lie is laughable… You said you knew Mr. Schultz and got the chess from him. Do you have evidence?”
“Oh, I have friended him on Line.”
“Girl, let me tell you. I know Carroll, and I know his voice… He doesn’t friend strangers on Line…”
Scott was amused and said.
Scott had been rejected by Carroll mercilessly…
At that time, Scott had wanted to buy the chess and sweetened Carroll up, but Carroll had refused.
Could Paige make Carroll give her the chess for free?
Hilarious.
Paige took out her mobile phone and made a call.
After a while, the call connected.
“Paige, did I see it wrong, or did you tap it wrong? You actually called me! How strange…
Carroll’s voice sounded, and everyone was stupefied.
When Killian and Rosa heard that, they immediately confirmed it was Carroll’s voice. They instantly felt they would emerge victorious.
Scott’s expression changed. It was indeed Carroll’s voice and tone. It must be him!
But, how could this be possible…
Carroll sounded like he really knew this girl!
Who exactly was this girl?
Why was she valued by Carroll?
“Mr. Schultz, are you resting? Did I disturb you?” Paige remembered he usually rested early.
“Hey, save it. Even if I am lying in a coffin, I will immediately get up when you call me! How about it?
When will you play chess with me?”
There was a lot of new information. Paige also knew how to play chess.
From the sound of it, she seemed to have played chess with Carroll before…
Could it be she was great at playing chess?
“I will come another day.” Paige cut to the chase. “I heard you had a granddaughter today. It’s nothing. I am just curious.”.
“What granddaughter? Why don’t I know about it? Oh, I know… You must have heard the rumors and thought I have a new granddaughter. Impossible! I only think of you as my granddaughter. How about it? Have you changed your mind? There are many girls who want to be my granddaughter. You can’t miss this great opportunity!”
Paige did not expect him to talk about it again and changed the topic, “Let’s talk about this later. Do you still remember the jade chess?”
“I do. Didn’t I give it to you! Do you want to return it to me? I know you are a considerate and lovely girl…”
“You think too much.” Paige interrupted his fantasy, “I want to tell you I gave it away.”
“What? What? I love that chess! I gave it to you because I adore you…”
“Are you sure you adore me?”
Hearing Paige’s question, Carroll stuttered again, “Yes, I do…”
Because everyone could hear the call, Paige did not expose him but said, “Okay, I have my answers. If there is nothing else, I will hang up.”
“Hey, hey, hey, you haven’t told me when you will come…” Before Carroll could finish his words,
Paige ended the call.
Everyone was stupefied!
Scott didn’t expect Paige really knew Carroll, and Carroll admitted he gave her the chess…
Adrianna’s face turned even sourer!
If Paige had the real deal, what was the chess Adrianna had bought with 30 million dollars?
“No, impossible…” Adrianna shook her head in disbelief.
“Adrianna, have you been cheated…” Diana quickly said, “Haven’t you friended Mr. Schultz’s granddaughter on Line? Hurry up and call her to ask what happened…”
“Since Paige has friended Mr. Schultz on Line, she can ask him to confront his so-called granddaughter,” Ashlyn said.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Adrianna.
Adrianna was extremely embarrassed. She took out her phone and was just about to send a voice. call to the so-called granddaughter when Adrianna suddenly realized she had been blacklisted!
Noticing Adrianna’s expression was sour, Diana quickly asked what happened and learned
Adrianna was blacklisted…
The truth was revealed!
Adrianna was cheated of money. After the swindler received the money, she blacklisted
Adrianna…
“So, she was cheated of money…”
Rosa looked at Paige with a loving gaze. “I didn’t expect you to even know Mr. Schultz… When Killian wanted to buy the chess from him, he refused… It seems he thinks highly of you…”
Needless to say, Paige’s chess skills must be superb!
