Alex smirked. “Do you believe me now? You spent one and a half million on a replica. You sure have a lot of money, huh?”

“I was mistaken that once,” Desmond announced, clenching his jaw. “It’s just one and a half million. That’s nothing to me. Even if my watch is fake, this vintage jade pendant is real!”

Desmond was certain this jade pendant was genuine as he had asked a jewelry appraiser to appraise it previously. It was an authentic Art Deco piece.

He shot Alex a disdainful look and popped his collar open. A jade pendant appeared in everyone’s sight. He removed the jade pendant from his neck. “This should be enough to repay your favor.”

He snorted and added, “This Art Deco piece has been blessed by the Divine Priest. It was a gift King Vincent received from his father on his eighteenth birthday. It’s worth at least three million! I always wear it so it can bring me good luck.”

Alex stared at an arrogant Desmond. How funny, he thought. He is not a horrible guy. He’s just a foolish rich brat.

“I don’t want this,” Alex snorted in reply. “I can’t believe you’re wearing a piece of cursed jewelry. How foolish of you.”

“What did you say? Nonsense!” Desmond was practically fuming by then.

Alex’s reply was curt. “It’s cursed. You’re lucky you haven’t died from wearing it.

Desmond’s face fell, but because of what had happened earlier, he didn’t know if Alex was telling the truth. Glaring at Alex, he demanded, “What proof do you have?”

“Look at the shape of the jade pendant carefully,” Alex answered icily. “When you bought it, didn’t you check what it was used for?”
