As per tradition, in restaurants during winter, it's customary to pour a cup of hot water for each guest before the food arrives.
Though Gonzalez City is coastal, it becomes quite cold as the Chinese New Year approaches.
But the cup of hot water in front of Lewis Leocadia was now undrinkable.
Because floating on it was a "gold ring."
"Lewis, the gold from abroad is different from the local one. If this were domestic gold, it would have sunk by now. Your foreign gold ring floating like this, now that's really something!"
Knox Ridge gave a thumbs up while wearing a serious face, mocking Lewis Leocadia.
Everyone was no fool, the moment the ring floated, everyone knew it was fake, and even coated in plastic paint.
Back at the airport, Lewis Leocadia had shamelessly shown off, giving Knox Ridge and her family a piece of his mind.
Now it was Knox Ridge's turn to mock them.
"People really shouldn't be too vain, don't you think so, Lewis?"
