The Three Little Guardian Angels novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Maisie took a glance at Willow, put down the pearl necklace in her hand, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. “I didn’t order this batch of mock-ups, so I won’t take this fall.” 

Willow came over and grabbed Maisie’s hand. “Zee, you should tell the truth. After all, Vaenna is still your father’s company. You mustn’t destroy your father’s efforts, right?”

“I’m telling the truth.” Maisie kept a straight face while pulling her hand away, took the pearl bracelet, and walked to the lady. “Madam, you’ve bought fake jewelry from Vaenna, and I know you’re not in the mood. After all, you’ve paid for it with your money, and that means something.

“But don’t worry, I can’t allow Vaenna’s reputation to be dragged through the mud because of some fakes. I promise that not only will your money be refunded, but you can also bring a genuine product back after I’ve gotten to the bottom of this incident.”

The lady was stunned. It was only natural for her to accept this arrangement willingly as she would be able to get her money and beloved jewelry back.

“That’s fine by me, but tell me now, what’s the matter with this counterfeit? We only want to get a statement from you today.”

Maisie walked to the staff of the purchasing department. “I did tell you that you’ll be held responsible if something wrong were to happen to this batch of material when I handed over the purchase order to you, right?”

The clerk of the purchasing department was dumbfounded and lowered her head. “But the materials are indeed ordered according to your order slip.”

“Yes, Zee, the purchasing department just ordered according to the order that you handed to them, so how can you blame them for when something has gone wrong?”

“Otherwise, should I blame you?” Maisie raised her gaze.

Willow choked, and her expression obviously changed.

Nolan frowned and stared at her with his indifferent gaze. He knew deep down that Vaenna was a company that Maisie’s mother had founded, and it should be impossible for her to fool around with the company’s reputation.

Maisie showed the raw material order slip in front of everybody. “Anyone who knows a thing or two about jewelry knows about the company Jade Mountain Co., the supplier that I wrote on the order slip. All the rough stones of the fine diamonds and jade used by half of Bassburgh’s jewelry companies come from Jade Mountain Co..”

Several guests nodded and discussed. “The ores from Jade Mountain Co. are indeed top-notch. The gemstones and diamonds that they produce are worth tens of millions.”

“Yeah, the raw stones of Jade Mountain Co. can’t be fake.”

Maisie picked up the pearl bracelet. “The pearls on this bracelet are made of pearl powder and crystal. As we all know, crystal is worth very little in the market. Its price is not as high as gold, silver, and diamond, and its quality can be categorized into high and low.

“Premium and natural crystals are only worth approximately $400–600 per ounce, while the price of top-quality crystals is approximately a little over $200 per ounce.”

The lady did some math with her fingers and asked all of a sudden, “Then is the crystal in my pearl bracelet worth the money?”

“It’s of course worthless. They’re just ordinary crystals.” Maisie smiled and looked back at the employee of the purchasing department. “You’ve been working in a jewelry company for so many years, and you don’t even know the gemstones of Jade Mountain Co.?”
