Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Cedrick’s words represented authority, and there was not a soul that would doubt Mason Group’s jewelry appraiser.

The organizer, Jones, beamed. “That’s great! It’s wonderful that you’re willing to help, Mister Mason…” He hastily commanded his men to set up the projector so that everyone could see the appraising process and proof of who was right. Catelyn waited quietly for the appraiser to get online. Soon, the appraiser’s face appeared before the enormous screen in the middle of the hall.

Lori took off her heels and carefully wiped away the wine on them, before taking them toward the camera smugly. “Kind sir, please inspect these for me to see how much they’re worth. Someone dares to accuse me of wearing fake diamonds! I have to set her straight!”

On the screen, an awkward expression appeared on the appraiser’s face as soon as he saw the heels. He even seemed hesitant to make his comment.

Queenie got closer and said, “Go on, then. Are these real or not?”

The appraiser remained silent and looked to Cedrick for instruction. He was an employee under Mason Group, so it was natural that he would obey his boss’ command.

With one hand in his pocket, Cedrick said, “Go ahead.”

With Cedrick’s permission, the appraiser no longer hesitated and said in contempt, “Master Cedrick, excuse me for being blunt. The craftsmanship of the heels isn’t bad, but the diamonds

“These are just mid-range cubic zirconia, which means they’re man-made diamonds. The selling price of these is quite cheap and usually ranges within a hundred. Their color will fade within days once exposed to water.”

The guests did not dare to doubt the appraiser Cedrick had found and gaped at the results. “Within a hundred? Gods, so those are fake!”

“She’s supposed to be Missus Mason. What makes her think she can ask for a million as compensation when she can’t even tell real diamonds from fake ones?”
