"Why are the surveillance cameras so conveniently broken right now?" Diana had suddenly come to her realization and roared angrily at Edna. "I think you're doing this on purpose, right?
"You deliberately turned off the surveillance cameras and got a fake snuff box to frame us with. I don't think you would have a real 18th-century rococo snuff box!"
18th-century rococo antiques were priceless. The only few real ones left in Havaria were kept in the museums, while the others were all in the possession of private collectors. Even if the antique shop was so fortunate to get a hold of a real one, they would surely keep it carefully till a suitable buyer comes before showing it to them.
It would never be placed carelessly on the aisles in such obvious places like this.
"We never sell dupes here in our antique shop. You gotta think before you speak because we can sue you for defamation. If that happens, you'll have to pay for the snuff box cover and meet us in court!"
Edna glared coldly at Diana and was unphased at all regarding what Diana had said.
"You little—" Just as Diana was about to continue defending Harold, Yolanda suddenly interrupted her. "This 18th-century rococo snuff box is authentic."
"Look here, even your daughter said that it's authentic. What else do you have to say for yourself?" Edna and the rest of the shop employees were more smug after hearing what Yolanda said.
"This is another fool. She's choosing to help outsiders instead," they thought.
"Shut up, Yolanda! Since when did you learn how to value antiques? If you don't know anything, keep your mouth shut!
"What qualifications do you have to claim that this snuff box is real?" Diana heard what Yolanda had said and nearly passed out in rage.
She had really delivered a grim reaper as a daughter! Yolanda only knew how to siphon her life and soul one ridiculous fight at a time! Yolanda would either sabotage her family by partnering with external forces to humiliate them or side with outsiders instead of her family every time it mattered.
