Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 537

"What?"

When Edwin saw the new window, his face contorted.

The new window showed that the boulder was just nothing but an ordinary boulder.

"Look at the sapphire. It's stuck on deliberately with super glue." Yolanda gave the windowed boulder back to Edwin and said, "Look carefully here. You can still see traces of it."

When Yolanda was done, there was an uproar.

In gemstone gambling, buyers could only lament their lack of luck when they made the wrong judgment.

However, if the shop was the one that had tampered with the boulders and sold them in place of regular boulders, this was a fraudulent act.

Yolanda looked at the boulder in Edwin's hand and knew that boulders like this couldn't possibly have contained gems. So, it would mean that the windowed portion had to be man-made.

"This is the type of boulder that would only be sold for a few thousand dollars in Mexayko. If it wasn't altered, no one would pay any attention to it at all."

There were a lot of gemstone gamblers who would spend a little more to get windowed boulders so they could have a larger chance and a stronger guarantee. But what they didn't know was that windowed boulders were the easiest to be tampered with.

"How dare you scam me?" Edwin was Caldwell Antiques' long-time customer. After he had retired, he had often come to Caldwell Antiques to gamble for gemstones.

He had never gotten a high-quality gem before this, and he thought it was due to his lack of experience. Now, from the looks of it, it was probably also closely related to the shop where he bought the boulders from.

"I frequent your shop, thinking shops of your size wouldn't lie. I had no idea that you were just as heartless." Edwin hurled the stone at Edna.

"Pay me back, or I'll sue you!"

Edna looked stormily at Yolanda.

Other than its size, the reason why Caldwell Antiques was so famous in Riverdale was because they had a good reputation, and their slogan was that they wouldn't lie to anyone from children to women to men. This enticed a lot of amateurs, who came to purchase from them.

Now that Yolanda had exposed them for tampering with the boulders, their reputation, which was already going down, went down even more.

There were still a number of bystanders who were paying customers in the store. When they found out that Caldwell Antiques tampered with their goods, they didn't care if the antiques they bought were real or dupes.

They were all screaming for those items to be returned, or they would go to relevant authorities to complain about them.

Suddenly, the cashier was swarmed with an angry mob trying to return all their purchases.
