Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476

“Don't you dare tell me that you've seen the emerald seal because that will be a joke! This is a national appraising event with plenty of experts here. An inexperienced junior like you shouldn't be boasting about your meager skills here. Take a step back now and stop speaking nonsense.”

Bailey found the situation amusing.

And he calls himself an experienced specialist. How funny.

They could have been fine if they had admitted that they were unable to discern whether the seal was the real deal or not.

Their insistence was going to backfire terribly if someone were to prove that the current seal they had was a replica.

The crowd around them was noisy as they bombarded Bailey with ill comments.

However, Bailey kept a faint smile on her face and rested her head on Artemis' shoulders before saying to Raiden, “See what I mean? They don't believe me and are certain that this is real. Why don't you go along with their words and pretend that this is the real one?”

Raiden could hear the discontent in her tone.

Indeed, he was at fault for this. He knew that putting her in the spotlight would pressure her tremendously, but he still did it.

It was nothing unusual for her to be furious to be on the receiving end of everyone's doubts and mockery after that.

“I'm sorry to have pushed you into this, but this is the only thing I can do. I can't just sit back on watch as the real emerald seal disappear while the national museum receives a fake one.”

Bailey waved him off.

She understood the difficult spot Raiden was in. It would be challenging to correct the mistake if they did not reveal the truth instantly.

Bailey only had a foul tone because she was pregnant, and pregnant women tended to be quicker to become angry than others.

With a bellow, Raiden stopped the others from talking. He then uttered, “I'm sure no one wants the real red emerald to continue getting passed around strangers' hands while we keep a fake one in our museum, right?”

A short and sweet speech that dispirited the angry people.

Raiden continued, “There must be a reason for people to voice their doubts. Don't worry. I'll reinvestigate this matter. We'd rather spend more time looking into this than let the real red emerald slip by us.”

Lina gritted her teeth, a touch of anxiety flashing past Lina's heart.

She thought no one would dare to question the legitimacy of the red emerald in public.

Yet, it seemed like Bailey was fearless with the way she instantly said that the seal was fake.

Why is she so skillful? It was the same for Beauty's Tears, too. No one realized it was a fake but Bailey. If the real deal had not still been in the auction back then, she would have been exposed. Ha. Bailey Jefferson. She's truly my personal harbinger of doom.

With things having come to this, Lina had no choice but to steel herself and keep fighting against Bailey.

“All right. I'll give Mr. Fletcher three days to look into this. If you still have no evidence that this is a fake antique three days later, I'll have to resort to legal measures.”
