C4 Limited Edition

Sporting an Armani suit, a Patek Philippe watch, Fendi loafers, and Cadior sunglasses, Camden exuded the unmistakable aura of "old money" success.

He took the watch and carefully examined it.

"This must be a genuine Patek Philippe watch. Did you buy it, Gemma?"

"I didn't buy it. It was bought by Dagny's husband."

When Gemma heard that it might be real, her expression turned ugly.

"Camden, did you seriously look at it?"

She refused to believe that a piece of trash like Eustace could afford such a precious watch.

Camden nodded again and said, "It is true. The Patek Philippe watch has a serial number on it. The most direct way to distinguish the real from the fake is to call the local specialty store."

In fact, Gemma had already seen that the watch was real, but she was still a little bit hopeful.

She hoped that the watch was fake so that she could prove that Eustace was a piece of trash.

Otherwise, what she said to Dagny earlier was simply slapping her own face and destroying the happiness of others.

"That's impossible. Even if the watch is real, Eustace wouldn't be able to afford it. Dagny, didn't you say that you gave him your allowance every month? Do you think he can afford a watch worth more than a hundred thousand?"

"This..."

Dagny was a little confused. She didn't know why Eustace would suddenly be able to afford such a precious watch.

Gemma's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed at Eustace and said, "I know. You didn't steal this watch, did you? You will be sentenced to jail for stealing such a precious watch. Don't drag Dagny into this."

Dagny looked at Eustace nervously. If the watch was really stolen, then she would be too disappointed.

Eustace frowned slightly and said, "There is an invoice and receipt in the gift box. Didn't you see it? There are attendants in the specialty store and surveillance cameras. How could I steal the watch from under their noses? Am I some kind of master thief?"

Gemma took out the receipt and invoice and looked at it. She snorted and said, "The receipt and invoice might be fake. Who knows if you prepared it in advance?"

Eustace added, "The receipt has the contact number of the special store. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask."

"Do you think I don't dare to call?"

Gemma believed that Eustace couldn't afford a Patek Philippe watch. She thought that Eustace was just bluffing.

She dialed the number on the receipt and the phone was connected very quickly.

She purposely turned on the speaker to let Dagny hear the truth.

"Hello, this is the Patek Philippe watch store. I am the store manager, Aida. May I ask what can I do for you?"

Gemma glanced at Eustace and asked, "Hello, I have a watch from your store here. I want to check if this watch is authentic."

"Okay, lady. There is a serial number on the back of the watch. Please tell me."

Gemma told her the serial number. After a while, Aida replied, "Madam, this watch is indeed from our store. It was bought by a customer this afternoon."

Gemma's expression changed. She asked, "What is the name of the person who bought the watch?"

Aida couldn't help but mutter in her heart. The watch was in her hands, so how could she not know who bought it?

Could it be that she was the one who picked up the watch?

When she thought about the Infinity Card in Eustace's hand, she was secretly excited.

While Eustace's affluence meant he probably didn't care much about the watch, helping him retrieve it would be doing him a favor and give her a chance to reconnect with him. Who knows what else might come of it?

"Madam, I'm sorry. The customer's name is private. We have no right to tell anyone. If the watch was picked up by you, please return it to the store. We will contact the owner and give you a certain amount of gratitude."

Eustace could not help but ask, "Is the person who bought the watch called Eustace?"

Aida was stunned. She had already secretly memorized Eustace's name and phone number. Naturally, she remembered it clearly.

"Do you know Mr. Eustace?"

Dagny was stunned. Although the other party was asking her a question, it confirmed that the watch was bought by Eustace.

She hung up the phone and stuffed the watch into Dagny's hands.

"Eustace, I didn't know you could afford such an extravagant watch. Where did you get the money for that? I hope you didn't touch the down payment Dagny's been saving for your house?"

Dagny looked at Eustace in shock. Eustace knew her bank card number and password.

Other than this possibility, she couldn't think of how Eustace could have so much money to buy a watch.

Eustace was a little unhappy that people were doubting him again and again.

"You're not my wife. I don't need to explain to you, right? Daphne, don't worry. I didn't touch your money. I bought the watch myself. I'll explain it to you when we get home."

"Okay!"

Dagny nodded. She chose to believe in Eustace. After all, he was the man who had shared a bed with her for three years.

If she had not taken a fancy to Eustace's character, she would not have married him under the pressure of her family.

Camden saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He smiled and said, "Haha, it seems to be a misunderstanding. We're all friends, so don't take it to heart. Gemma, it's getting late. Let's go eat?"

Daphne looked at Camden and immediately recovered from the blow she had just received.

Even if Eustace bought a Patek Philippe watch, so what?

Could he compare to his boyfriend?

One was a stay-at-home dad, the other a successful executive who had just returned from studying abroad. One could only afford to shop at thrift stores, while the other was dripping in designer labels.

Compared to each other, they were like chalk and cheese – one on cloud nine, the other down in the dumps.

"Dagny, do you want to come with us? Camden booked a table at Riverbend Retreat tonight. Eustace has never brought you to such a high-end restaurant to eat, right?"

Dagny didn't want Eustace to suffer any more injustice, nor did she want to ruin her relationship with Gemma, so she shook her head.

"We're not going. The movie we're going to watch is about to start."

Eustace smiled and said, "Riverbend Retreat? Isn't this the hotel that our future brother-in-law opened? Since it's practically run by family, we should definitely go over and show our support."

"Future brother-in-law?"

Gemma was stunned for a moment and looked at Dagny with a puzzled expression.

Dagny explained, "Eztli's boyfriend is the son of the owner of Riverbend Retreat. His name is Arno. They just went to our house to see my parents today."

Gemma's expression could not help but be a little awkward. She originally wanted to use the opportunity to ridicule Eustace and regain her face.

Unexpectedly, the hotel she was going to was actually owned by her future brother-in-law.

If she went there, she would lose even more face.

For a moment, she was at a loss.

Dagny helped her out of the dilemma. "Gemma, go on your date. Eustace and I won't be your third wheel."

Dagny pulled Eustace and was about to leave. Eustace stopped and asked, "Camden, right? Your watch is not bad. I want to ask, did you buy it in the specialty store?"

Camden straightened his back and smiled. "My watch is a limited edition. You can't buy it here."

Eustace smiled and revealed his white teeth.

"Really? I suggest you take it to the specialty store to authenticate it. I think you might have been tricked."

Camden's expression changed, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

Gemma said angrily, "Eustace, what are you talking about? Have you seen such a precious watch before? How dare you pretend to be an expert?"
