The Princess and the Paupers Novel Full Episode novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605 

They walked in with tons of gifts, only to find Romeo and the folks from the Winters family already there. They warmly greeted everyone. “Enid, you haven’t given your gift to Grandma Shirley yet.” Mr. Winters reminded with a smile. 

“How could I accept gifts from younger people? Besides, it’s not even my birthday.” Shirley waved her hand with a smile, refusing to accept. 

But Enid kept holding out the gift, “Grandma Shirley, just open it. I promise you’ll like it.” 

Jessamyn was a bit curious on the side, “Shirley, since she insists, why not just take a little peek?” 

“Yeah, let us see what it is, tool” Suri, who had always been on good terms with the Winters family, chimed in. 

Shirley thought to herself since she’s offered it, why not just open it? She could always give it back and not make the younger one lose face. 

With Grandpa Phillip’s help, she opened it to find a set of top–notch chess pieces and a shiny gold chessboard! 

“It’s a gold chess set!” 

“What a gem!” 

Jessamyn and Suri exclaimed, surprised by the young woman’s generosity. 

Even more surprising, how did she get her hands on it. 

Gold of this caliber was scarce, and only the purest and most evenly colored pieces were chosen for carving. 

It’s said that selecting the chess set’s materials took three years. 

It was followed by another three years to handcraft the 32 pieces. 

Each piece was worth $200,000!! 

More importantly, as soon as this chess set was released, it attracted countless collectors and was eventually brought by a famous man, Mr Eugene, for $18 million. 

No one else could buy it. 

Jessamyn couldn’t help but ask, “Enid, how did you manage to buy it?” 

Shirley was also amazed. She couldn’t believe that Enid managed to purchase the chess set from Mr. Eugene. 

Just then, Arabella returned, noticing two more guests in the living room. 

Jessamyn and Suri were also taken aback. They didn’t expect another girl to show up, especially one they’d never seen before! 

“Bella’s back,” Shirley introduced with a smile, “Let me introduce you to two more people. This is my grandson’s wife, Arabella.” 

What?! 

Jessamyn and Suri were even more astonished. Where did this girl come from, and how did she replace Serena as a member of the McMillian family? Her tactics were really something! 

And with Enid still here, they initially thought she had the best chance given Romeo’s lack of interest in Serena. 

Surprises never ceased. 

“Bella, this is Jessamyn, and this is Suri,” Shirley continued with a smile. 

Arabella nodded and smiled slightly, “Hello, Jessamyn, Suri.” 

“Hello.” Jessamyn noticed that Romeo had been holding her waist since Arabella came back. It seemed he really liked this girl. 

Suri even saw Romeo whisper something into Arabella’s ear, to which she softly replied. 

They looked like a couple in love! 

Who would have thought the McMillian family’s grandson’s wife would be replaced so suddenly. 

This girl’s maneuvers were simply astonishing. 

“Anyone who can become part of the McMillian family must have something extraordinary about them! Bella, come take a look at this chess set. What do you think of the craftsmanship? Is it pretty?” Jessamyn took this opportunity to probe the girl’s background. 

If she came from a wealthy family, she would definitely know the origin and value of this chess set. 

If she were from a poor background, she definitely wouldn’t. 

Arabella glanced at it and casually said, “It’s pretty ordinary, nothing special.” 

This statement was a blow to everyone. They were all stunned! 

She actually said that this priceless chess set was ordinary and nothing special?! 

She must come from a poor background! She’s clueless! 

Enid could hardly keep from laughing, “It seems you have no idea about the value of this chess set.” 

“This is the famous gold chess set, which a collector once bought for $18 million.” Jessamyn couldn’t help but explain, “Considering your age, you probably haven’t had much exposure to the world of chess.” 

“This is not the gold chess set.” Arabella stated calmly, “It’s not the one you’re talking about.” 

Once she said this, everyone was stunned. 

What did she say?? 

This was not the gold chess set?? 

How could that be!!! 

How could she be so sure?? 

“The gold chess set is beautifully made and evenly colored. Obviously, this one is a fake.” 

Mr. Winters was very embarrassed and glared at her angrily, “Nonsense!” 

If it weren’t for Phillip and Shirley’s presence, he’d be fuming!! 

She actually said in front of everyone that Enid’s gift was a fake. 

That’s just too much! 

Did she think she can say whatever she wanted just because she’s the future Mrs. McMillian? 

This matter was still not settled! Did she think too highly of herself?! 

Enid was pissed off hearing her say that, but she kept her calm, smiling as she asked, “So you can tell if it’s real or fake just by looking at it? What, are your eyes scanners or something?” 

Arabella looked up and said with conviction, “I can tell by listening that this isn’t genuine.” 

Enid laughed at that, “You’re something, you know that? This chess set doesn’t make a sound. How exactly are you listening to it? With your heart?” 

Jessamyn and Suri couldn’t help but join in the laughter. 

This little girl was trying to show off in front of Phillip and Shirley, but she’s going about it all wrong! 

She can tell if a chess set was genuine just by listening to it?! 

Let’s see her prove it to everyone then! 

“When I said ‘listen,’ I meant listening to you talk, not the chess set.” Arabella stared straight into Enid’s eyes and said, “Jessamyn asked me to appraise this chess set. I was just being honest. If you felt offended, it wasn’t intentional.” 

Enid had never encountered such an audacious girl before, “If you claim it’s fake, can you prove it?” 

Proof? 

She did have some. It would just take some time. 

“You say this chess set is a knockoff. May I ask, how did you come to that conclusion?” Enid challenged smugly, “Just by the color?”
