Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 329

GET IT NOW Chapter 329 Under everyones watchful eyes , Orions assistant brought two identical porcelain bowls forward .

They were pristine white with delicate blue patterns adorning their surfaces .

Elsies expression turned serious as she warned , Mr.

Lloyd , in authentication , the toughest challenge is the twin test .

Whats the twin test ? Andrew asked , which made Elsie sigh helplessly .

She could not understand how Andrew seemed to know nothing , yet had spotted that sacred relic earlier .

She quickly explained , The twin test is an authentication term .

It refers to two identical pieces -one authentic and one fake that are so similar , theyre impossible to tell apart with the naked eye .

These two bowls , for instance , appear identical .

Usually , wed rely on professional knowledge , experience , touch sensitivity , and specialized equipment but the competition rules prohibit using tools , so youll need another approach .

Orion extended his hand with a smirk .

You have five minutes to identify the authentic bowl .

Though I know that even with five hours or five months , you still couldnt tell which is real and which is fake .

After his taunt , Orions assistant brought him a chair , and he sat down with a leisurely air .

Andrew , luck doesnt stick around for fools forever , Aspen said with a mocking smile.

The twin test has stumped countless experts in the antique world .

Even though you know nothing losing to Mr.

Kelce here would at least be a respectable defeat ! The crowd turned their attention to Andrew .

Many believed the young man had finally met his match .

Orion , you shameless bastard , Cedric shouted angrily .

Even seasoned experts can be fooled by the twin test .

Isnt it unfair to challenge him with this ? Orion replied with a smug smile , A bets a bet .

In an authentication competition , anything goes .

Kid , if you cant handle it , just surrender now kneel before me Ill let you off easy .
