Genius Wife Is Naughty Again novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Shirley, who was beside them, snorted and looked at Janet in disdain. “I think that you are just jealous that your sister has been chosen by Hilbert, so you became mad due to embarrassment.”Janet raised her beguiling brows and cast her a glance, which caused the latter to be stunned. I think I’ve seen her with such a confident and arrogant gaze before. Therefore, Shirley’s gaze that was on Janet turned into one that had a hint of scrutiny.Seeing that this matter was escalating, Eddie immediately stepped forward and snatched the broken jade bracelet from Emily’s hands. He consoled, “Emily, you can come to my store to get another if you like it! Just throw the broken one away.”“But Uncle Eddie, the ice jade bracelets cost a few million.” Emily was flustered.How could I just let a few million go down the drain? Janet actually dares to openly offend me now by smashing my bracelet onto the floor—she will have the courage to do anything after this. If I don’t teach her a lesson today, she will be out of my control in the future.“Ha! Ice jade? You surely are good at lying,” Janet chuckled.“Shut up, you stupid girl!” All Eddie had in mind currently was to cover Janet’s mouth to stop her from talking.After he said that, Janet flipped her hair before turning around to leave.Upon seeing her indifferent yet irritating attitude, the crowd condemned her, “She thinks that she’s a professional in appraising jades.”“That’s right. Eddie has been in the jade business for decades. Of course he can tell what’s real and what’s fake. Plus, I don’t think a wealthy man like him would give a counterfeit jade bracelet to Emily.”“I agree. She’s just jealous.”Janet’s footsteps came to a halt when she heard them mocking her. She kindly reminded them, “You will know if it is the real deal by looking at the broken edge.”Grandma Jade immediately stepped forward and snatched the jade in Eddie’s hands.As a jewellery lover, she had collected a few large boxes of jade, so she could easily identify if one was fake. Though her eyesight was weak, she tried to squint to look at the bracelet before solemnly declaring, “The cut is bright and shiny.”When Emily heard the words ‘bright and shiny’, she had an even more pitiful look on her face as she uttered in a sobbing tone, “Janet, did you hear that? The cut is bright and shiny, which means the ice jade is real!”“Ha.” Janet chuckled.Her suspicion had been verified. Just now, when Emily flaunted the jade at her, she could tell from the color and shine of its surface that it was a fake. Her suspicion was further affirmed the moment she took the bracelet and smashed it onto the floor—an ice jade wouldn’t be as light as that. Lastly, Grandma Jade’s words then again proved that the jade, that was said to cost a million, was a fake. If it was real jade, the broken edges would be irregular—it would be impossible for the real deal to have a bright and shiny edge.Someone actually treasured such a low-quality item and had the courage to flaunt it in front of me. What a ridiculous and pitiful girl.Janet curled up the corner of her lips while her voice was terrifyingly cold. “A real jade will have irregular edges! The one that he gave is actually the complete opposite.” As she was speaking, she pointed at Eddie with her fair and slender hand.Right after she said that, the crowds’ gaze all fell on Eddie.Eddie’s pupils contracted as he stared at Janet with his eyes widened; he even had difficulty stringing his words into a sentence. “H-How did… you know?”Does she really know about jade appraisal? Even a professional appraiser needs to use equipment to identify if it’s real. How did she manage to identify it in barely a few minutes? Could it be that she was just making a wild guess?With a faint smile at the corner of her lips, Janet didn’t reply.Upon seeing Eddie’s response, Emily knew that there was a huge possibility that what Janet said was true. She was at a loss for words out of extreme embarrassment. “U-Uncle Eddie, why did you give me a fake bracelet?” I even flaunted it in front of Janet for a long time, but it turns out Janet already knows about it and intentionally humiliated me in public. This woman is too wicked. The more she thought about it, the darker her expression became.
