Numerous people stared at Maxwell with a mocking impression, but Maxwell's expression remained unchanged. Greta's delicate and pretty face showed her anger, which was too much that her face looked blushed. She stared at Maxwell with her beautiful eyes, biting her lips... She felt that the biggest mistake she made today was bringing Maxwell to the dinner!
Young Master Sandoval stared at Maxwell meaningfully, and slowly said, "Mr. Maxwell, you have never bought a diamond for Miss Greta, yet you stay so calm... Don't you know what a diamond is?"
Maxwell's eyes were slightly narrowed with anger... This so-called Young Master was mocking him for being ignorant by saying that he didn't even know what a diamond was!
Many people sneered. In their opinion, it was normal that Maxwell didn't know what a diamond was. Diamonds were something that belonged to rich people, not for some low-level class people who could only brag and show off.
"It is not the best diamond, why can't I keep calm?" Maxwell smiled lightly and responded immediately.
As soon as he said that, Young Master Sandoval’s expression got so cold and serious that even the vibe around got cold. Many people didn’t even dare to look at Young Master Sandoval.
Young Master Sandoval stared at Maxwell meaningfully. After a long time, he suddenly grinned. His smile was playful and meaningful, "Mr. Maxwell, if this is not the best diamond, what is the best diamond?"
Maxwell lowered his head and glanced at the crystal clear blood diamond, and slowly said, "Blood diamond? Shit, this is not a blood diamond!"
Huh!
After Maxwell said that, the whole banquet got silent. Everyone turned around staring at Maxwell, and their expressions became more and more contemptuous.
"Who the hell are you to say that!"
"This is the blood diamond that Young Master Sandoval bought from South Africa. It was famous all over the world three years ago. Do you mean that Young Master Sandoval fooled President Greta with a fake one?"
"He is obviously making trouble. Mr. Sandoval should call the security guard to blast him out."
Someone spoke with irony.
Greta immediately felt it wrong, she said to Maxwell, "The gift given by Young Master Sandoval cannot be fake for sure. Don't talk nonsense."
Young Master Sandoval laughed loudly, "Interesting...Interesting... I spent tens of billions of dollars just to get a smile our beautiful Greta. Unexpectedly, there are still people who are being ignorant today by saying it is fake. Mr. Maxwell...I have to admire your imagination."
Maxwell looked up. He said calmly as if he was talking about a normal fact, "The blood diamond at the auction in South Africa three years ago was genuine, but yours is fake."
"Mr. Maxwell, this blood diamond has been appraised by the institution." Young Master Sandoval reminded, looking at Maxwell contemptuously.
"After the rough diamonds are excavated, they may encounter colored diamonds. And the rare colored diamond may find together with another diamond that is not as pure as the original diamond. We call those two diamonds as mother-child diamonds." Maxwell slowly opened his mouth. Greta looked at Maxwell thinking: This guy talked about nonsense again. I almost believed him.
"How come I have never heard of mother-child diamonds? I have been working in jewelry industry for decades. I have never heard of the saying that there are mother-child diamonds." The boss of the jewelry company sneered. His tone was ironic. He wanted to show that Maxwell was lying.
"The idea of mother-child diamonds originated in South Africa. And several top jewelry masters overseas have mentioned mother-child diamonds in private before. As for why you don’t know... firstly, the chance of mother-child diamonds appearing is very small. Secondly, all the jewelry on you today add together is at most a million, which is not even enough for the value of a sub-diamond in a mother-child diamond. Do you deserve to know?" Maxwell glanced at the boss, which caused the boss tremble with a paled face.
Maxwell's glance was too harsh as if he could see through the boss’s mind, causing the boss an illusion that he couldn’t hide any secret in front of Maxwell.
"Interesting... continue." Young Master Sandoval smiled, looking at Maxwell with great interest.
"Long time ago, those jewelry masters had guessed that only a top-level diamond like blood diamonds would have a very small possibility of generating mother-child diamonds... and the biggest feature of mother-child diamonds is that both diamonds are extremely similar. The only difference is the sub-diamond is smaller and is not as pure as the other one." Maxwell continued, "This one looks like a sub-diamond. The diamond at the auction in South Africa was much larger than this one."
"Mr. Sandoval, you didn't go to the auction back then, did you? Your pricy diamond was probably changed by someone." Maxwell looked at Young Master Sandoval and asked.
Young Master Sandoval did not answer immediately but looked at Maxwell as if he wanted to remember vividly Maxwell’s appearance. Then he began to applaud, "Wonderful, your story is magnificent. I almost believed it. ."
Maxwell curled his lips and looked more serious, "I'm not joking."
"Mr. Maxwell, if I didn't go to the jewelry appraisal institution to appraise, I am afraid I would really believe what you said. However, the jewelry appraisal institution already gave me the certificate to prove this is the authentic blood diamond." Young Master Sandoval smiled lightly, but giving Maxwell an ironic expression, "Mr. Maxwell, it's a pity to be a driver with your eloquence."
Maxwell curled his lips and added seriously, "Whatever."
"Young Master Sandoval already has this blood diamond appraised. It must be authentic and real. He is just a driver who loves bragging and talking nonsense."
"He turns out to be President Greta's driver. Then what the hell is he doing here? Mother-child diamonds? I have seen countless diamonds, and I have never heard of such thing."
"He is just a liar. Maybe even President Greta has been fooled around by him."
The atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing. Maxwell didn't try to explain anything. He didn't know if Young Master Sandoval did the appraisal or not, but he did know that Young Master Sandoval wanted to embarrass him.
At this moment, Greta, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, began to say something to save Maxwell out of the embarrassment. She smiled lightly, holding her glass, and said, "Mr. Sandoval, It’s my first time here. Let’s cheer."
Greta’s face was originally beautiful and charming. When she smiled slightly, it was hard for any man to refuse her. Sandoval smiled. His wine glasses touched hers, and the awkward and tense atmosphere was quickly changed by Greta.
