"Okay! This is what you said!" Lachlan smirked and reached out his hand to Jude. "Give it here, I'll show you! A fake gemstone will naturally break when squeezed!"
Jude snorted disdainfully and handed the gemstone necklace from the platinum jewelry box to Lachlan with confidence.
The people around them joined in with cheers, especially some materialistic girls who saw Jude's luxury car keys and name-brand watch. They stood on Jude's side even though he looked unattractive.
"Squeeze it! If you can't break it, then you're a loser!"
"You can't afford one yourself, so don't call others fake!"
"He didn't expect that he would dare let him squeeze it."
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Sky-eye Carney? Isn't that the appraisal master Sky-eye Carney?"
Everyone turned their heads towards a sixty-year-old man who was leading an eight or nine-year-old boy into the restaurant.
Some recognized Sky-eye Carney immediately and exclaimed excitedly, "It really is Master Carney!"
"Is Sky-eye Carney taking his grandson out for fun? How coincidental!"
"Sky-eye Carney is an appraisal expert. Let him identify this blue sapphire necklace."
Many also recognized Sky-eye because he had recently started broadcasting on a short video platform which greatly increased his exposure rate.
"Sky-eye Carney?"
Jude was about to hand over the blue sapphire necklace to Lachlan but noticed that everyone's attention had shifted towards Sky-eye. His eyes lit up as he remembered hearing about this appraisal master before.
He sneered at Lachlan and said, "You're not worthy of touching this necklace! Since there's an expert present, let him appraise it for me!"
With that said, Jude held up the blue sapphire necklace and shouted loudly at Sky-eye, "Sky-eye Caney over here! I am Iylonio Smith family's Jude. Could you please help me out by giving your professional opinion?"
Upon hearing his name being called by Jude, Sky-eye turned around in surprise before walking over slowly while muttering under his breath, "Mr. Willis…"
After Sky-eye arrived, he first looked at Lachlan and asked. But at this moment, Lachlan gave him a glance and shook his head lightly, pointing to Jude instead.
The expert appraiser immediately caught on and turned to look at Jude with a very impressive demeanor. "Young man, what can I do for you?"
"Sky-eye, I heard that you are a big shot in the appraisal industry. I have a blue diamond necklace here that I would like you to take a look at! Some people say that this blue diamond is fake. Please authenticate it!"
Jude handed over the sapphire necklace arrogantly.
"Yes, Master Carney please take a look!"
"This blue diamond is obviously top-notch quality. How could it be fake?"
"You need to prove it..."
"Everyone is watching!"
Onlookers were all saying one thing or another.
Kiera glanced over at Lachlan and secretly worried about him being humiliated in public.
She was speechless towards Lachlan's actions; she thought he should just be her shield without causing trouble.
As for Jude sending her gifts or provoking Lachlan with his words, she didn't care either way since she wasn't going to accept them anyway.
Kiera also felt that the quality of this blue sapphire was extremely good; she liked it just by looking at it so there was no way it could be fake!
