Chapter 124 - 123: Show Off When the Time Calls for It
"Then tell us, what kind of watch do you have?" Sheldon Shawn looked at her coldly at this moment, not believing that South Grant could magick a watch out of thin air in such a short time.
"Rolex ROLEX-Submariner Series 116610LN Men’s Mechanical Watch." South Grant even mentioned the brand of the watch.
At this moment, Sheldon Shawn was taken aback because the brand South Grant mentioned was exactly the one she had placed in South Grant’s backpack.
"You’re lying, the Rolex ROLEX-Submariner Series 116610LN Men’s Mechanical Watch is clearly mine!" Sheldon Shawn said angrily.
"Who said only you can have it, and I can’t?" South Grant raised an eyebrow and looked at him sideways.
"Everyone at school knows that The Grant Family doesn’t value you. They’ve already cut off your allowance. The cheapest of those watches costs over sixty thousand. Where did you get the money to buy this watch?"
For most of these kids, over sixty thousand is not a lot, since they are the cream of the crop, and any outfit of theirs costs more than that.
But it was different for South Grant because many knew that South Grant wasn’t well-received in The Grant Family, and even his allowance had been stopped by The Grant Family.
This sixty-thousand-dollar watch wasn’t something South Grant could have easily gotten.
"Who said I bought it myself? It was given to me by someone else."
"Who gave it to you? What proof do you have?"
"My uncle gave it to me, you can ask him for the evidence."
Play dumb when it’s time to play dumb.
Act arrogant when it’s time to act arrogant.
Play dumb in front of Nathan Foster, act arrogant outside with Nathan Foster.
Perfect~
South Grant casually mentioned Nathan Foster. At this time, other students in the class still didn’t know who South Grant’s uncle was.
"Who’s your uncle?"
"Nathan Foster."
At this moment, South Grant slowly opened her lips and uttered Nathan Foster’s name.
These three words carry significant weight in Aethelgard, as most of the students’ families in the class come from military and political backgrounds and have heard of Nathan Foster.
Sheldon Shawn’s first reaction was that South Grant was lying.
"Impossible, I’ve never heard that Nathan Foster is your uncle."
South Grant was too lazy to argue about this. The watch issue wasn’t resolved yet.
As for whether Nathan Foster is her uncle or she’s his uncle, that would be a spectacle for another time.
"Never mind whether Nathan Foster is my uncle or I’m his uncle. What we need to clarify now is whose watch it is. You’ve already searched my backpack, so, to be fair, I should search yours."
Sheldon Shawn hadn’t taken anything from South Grant, so he wasn’t afraid of South Grant searching his backpack.
To prove his innocence, Sheldon Shawn took out his backpack and handed it to South Grant.
"If you don’t find anything, it proves you’re lying."
As he spoke, South Grant had already taken his backpack.
She then unzipped his backpack and reached inside, feeling around.
While Sheldon Shawn watched smugly and the other students gathered around for the show, South Grant slowly pulled out a watch from Sheldon Shawn’s backpack — the Rolex ROLEX-Submariner Series 116610LN Men’s Mechanical Watch she had mentioned earlier.
Sheldon Shawn’s eyes widened in disbelief, "How could it be in my backpack? It was clearly supposed to be in yours."
At this moment, the corners of South Grant’s lips curved slightly, "Yes, my watch was clearly supposed to be in my backpack. How did it end up in yours? You shouldn’t ask anyone else; you should ask yourself that question."
Sheldon Shawn finally realized that South Grant had used the situation to set a trap for him, waiting for him to fall right in.
