Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 232

Upon hearing Willow decisively say that it was a fake, Victoria turned her head and looked at her.

Meeting Willow's smile, Victoria also smiled and said, "Oh? I think it's authentic."

Willow still smiled gently, "Victoria, this ancient inkstone is a counterfeit."

Travis and Benoit exchanged glances. Willow's statement was so absolute; it seemed she was very confident.

The netizens in the live broadcast room saw the disagreement between the two and hardly had to think about it. Most of them sided with Willow.

[Although I don't understand, I'll follow Willow!]

[Willow hasn't been wrong once since earlier. If she says this inkstone is fake, it's probably fake. Why does Victoria still insist it's genuine?]

[See, once Victoria doesn't copy Willow's answer, she won't get anything right!]

At the scene of the show, the host glanced at the card in his hand, which marked the authenticity of this inkstone, which was the result of a professional identification by the program team in advance.

After reviewing the professional assessment results and hearing the conflicting answers from Victoria and Willow, the host looked surprisingly at Victoria.

The results of the professional appraisal were the same as what Victoria said! This inkstone was the real thing!

This time... Did Victoria actually get it right?

Was it just luck?

The host's initial reaction was that Victoria was lucky. Turning to Willow, he raised the microphone and asked, "Willow, how did you determine that this ancient inkstone is a counterfeit?"

Willow looked at Victoria, speaking slowly, like a teacher teaching a student, explaining to her,

"In ancient times, subjects had to avoid the emperor's name. However, the name 'George' is carved in the upper right corner of this inkstone. If this inkstone belonged to Lincoln Maverick, the emperor at that time was George V. It would be absolutely impossible to carve the character 'George' on the inkstone to avoid the emperor's name."

After a two-second pause, Willow said, "The inkstone has an emperor's name, so it must be a counterfeit."

Along with her explanation, the program team's camera shot a close-up of the ancient inkstone, clearly displaying the inscription "George" in the upper right corner, so that the audience in the live broadcast room could also see it."

After hearing Willow's words, the host looked at Peter and asked, "Teacher Montgomery, what do you think?"

Peter's character was calm and indifferent, but his eyes were filled with approving expression, "Indeed, Willow is correct. If an inkstone bears the emperor's name, it must be a counterfeit."

Hearing Peter's words, the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly heated up.

[I've heard of this rule! In ancient times, subjects had to avoid the emperor's name. Willow's reasoning makes sense!]

[Even Peter agrees with Willow's assessment. He's a professional artifact restoration expert; he wouldn't make a mistake. It's evident this inkstone is fake!]

[Wow, Willow is too amazing. She hasn't been wrong once from earlier until now!]

[Tsk, Victoria intentionally gave an answer opposite to Willow's, and she was wrong. Forget it, she should just copy Willow's answer. Let's not be too harsh on her!]

After hearing Peter's answer, the host took another look at Willow and asked, "Willow, are you sure this ancient inkstone is a counterfeit?"

Willow smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes."

The host looked at Victoria and said, "Victoria, you still think it's authentic."

Victoria replied, "Yeah."

Travis felt anxious, quietly tugging on Victoria's sleeve and lowering his voice, "I know you don't like the Montgomery family, but Peter is a professional in this matter. If he says this inkstone is fake, then it's probably fake..."

Victoria raised an eyebrow slightly, "No, it's the real thing."

Travis stared at her blankly and kept quiet.

Fine.

He knew that Victoria was stubborn.

But what could he do? Besides supporting her, what else could he do?

Benoit stared at Victoria with worried eyes.

It's so uncomfortable! He doesn't want his idol to be outdone by others!

Seeing Victoria persistently claiming it's genuine, the audience in the livestream felt helpless. Why is she so stubborn?

[Is she kidding? How can she still think it's genuine? Even Peter said it's fake, and earlier, Willow taught her so much, all in vain!]

Peter squinted his eyes and looked carefully, indeed noticing the subtle crack and the slightly different color near the engraved 'George.'

He, a professional restorer, had been careless and neglected it, but Victoria had noticed it carefully.

When did she understand these things?

Knowing so much about ancient inkstones?

Victoria continued, "The outer layer of sealing mud can be removed. This ancient inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones, the ancient inkstone, starting from the Victoria Dynasty. Only royal princes,contemporary literary giants, and wealthy merchants could own such an old pit of Ancient inkstone. Combined with the fact that this is an ancient inkstone used by Lincoln Maverick, it has very high cultural and historical value."

The host was surprised after hearing this, "Victoria, you're so right! Our program team had a professional appraise it before, and this is indeed one of the four famous inkstones!"

After listening to Victoria's unhurried explanation, the netizens were quiet for dozens of seconds before snapping back to reality and going crazy.

[Wow, Victoria actually got it right! It seems she wasn't just guessing?]

[Of course not! She spoke so logically and factually, just like the professionals. How could it be a guess? Could guessing achieve this effect?!]

[So, in the first few rounds, Victoria wasn't copying Willow's answers, but she did understand?]

[Especially when identifying the painting, she didn't even go over to look closely, just glanced a few times and recognized the authenticity. This level is even more impressive than Peter and Willow! Does Willow also know how to paint?]

[Hmph, I said earlier that Victoria figured it out herself. You laughed at me, but now who's the one laughing? The guy who bet on the live stream eating shit, don't back down!]

[Tsk, when Willow was explaining 'An inkstone bearing the emperor's name must be a fake,' it seemed like she was teaching Victoria like a teacher. So Victoria understands even better?...]

Willow clenched her fingers suddenly, looking at Victoria, and her mouth still carried a gentle smile. "Victoria, you know a lot, and everything you said is correct."

Victoria responded with a smile, "Just lucky."

Peter casually sized up Victoria, a trace of doubt in his eyes. When did she understand the assessment of cultural relics? And such deep understanding?

...

Three hours later, after the recording of the show ended, Victoria had just walked backstage when he received a call from Ralph.

Did they find out if Willow is the lost daughter of the Preston family?
