In the private room, there was absolute silence, and everyone looked at him.
Rory trembled a few times. He wanted to cry.
"Impossible! You must be wrong! How could it be blue and white porcelain from Ming Dynasty with this color?" In a hurry, Rory's mind was in a mess and he pointed the spear at Cal.
Cal's face immediately turned serious when he heard this. "Rory, are you questioning my ability or my character?"
Rory felt Cal's unhappiness, and he realized that he had said something wrong. However, it was impossible for him to kneel down, kowtow and call Tom a hundred times grandpa!
Therefore, he would rather offend Cal than betray his dignity.
That must be a joke to make him knelt down for Tom. He would rather die if so.
So he snorted heavily and said, "I can't tell. As everyone knows, Tom is just the uxorialocal son-in-law of the Scotts and a poor boy from the countryside. For so many years, he couldn't even find a job. He would only stay at the Scotts to rely on his wife and do housework every day. Someone like him would receive the valuable Ming Dynasty's blue and white porcelain, which is absolutely impossible!"
He sounded reasonable, but now, no one believed him, because the person who made the judgement was Cal, famous for his integrity and excellent expertise in the antique field. How could such a person lie?
This time, Phoebe looked at Rory's stubborn look and felt sick.
Even James and Elizabeth's impression of him had dropped to the bottom. Rory was rich, but he was not a man of virtue.
Tom had expected this kind of situation long ago, and he was not surprised at all. "Rory, are you cheating? Remember, you just wrote it down. Do you want me to read it?"
Rory's face showed a ferocious expression. He violently snatched the paper from Tom's hand and tore it into pieces. "What did you say? Where is the chit?"
Tom was not angry. He sneered. "Admit it or not, Rory, you're such a piece of trash."
Rory's face was very bad. He wanted to struggle, but when he saw Phoebe's disgust and disdain, he felt extremely sad.
Even James and Elizabeth looked down on him now.
He was even more in a twisted mood. He glared at Tom and said, "It's not over!"
Then he turned around and ran away. He was in an embarrassing state. When he ran to the door, he bumped into the waiter who came in with the soup. Half a pot of boiled soup spilled on him, making him jump like a monkey and scream miserably.
Seeing this, Tom finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After Rory left dejectedly, Elizabeth showed the expression of a money-grubber. She walked over and greedily touch the blue and white porcelain. "Wow, this is the blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty worth tens of millions. That's great! It's mine from now on!"
Phoebe couldn't stand it any longer. She came over and pulled Elizabeth. "Mom, what are you talking about? It belongs to Tom. When did it become yours?"
Elizabeth looked back at Phoebe and said, "Tom's is mine. Without me, he couldn't have all these today? Everything he owns is mine! I'm going to be rich. This is a real antique! We've been poor for so long, and we're finally going to be rich."
Cal coughed. Elizabeth's thick skin made him uncomfortable.
James was also very thrilled. The real blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty was of great value! If it was in his study, he would be proud. When he released the news, numerous people could pay him a visit.
