Chapter 268 Please Master, Take a Look
"Okay! This is what you said!" Lachlan smirked and reached out his hand to Jude. "Give it here, I'llshow you! A fake gemstone will naturally break when squeezed!"
Jude snorted disdainfully and handed the gemstone necklace from the platinum jewelry box toLachlan with confidence.
The people around them joined in with cheers, especially some materialistic girls who saw Jude'sluxury car keys and name-brand watch. They stood on Jude's side even though he lookedunattractive.
"Squeeze it! If you can't break it, then you're a loser!"
"You can't afford one yourself, so don't call others fake!"
"He didn't expect that he would dare let him squeeze it."
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Sky-eye Carney? Isn't that the appraisal master Sky-eye Carney?"
Everyone turned their heads towards a sixty-year-old man who was leading an eight or nine-year-old boy into the restaurant.
Some recognized Sky-eye Carney immediately and exclaimed excitedly, "It really is Master Carney!"
"Is Sky-eye Carney taking his grandson out for fun? How coincidental!"
"Sky-eye Carney is an appraisal expert. Let him identify this blue sapphire necklace."
Many also recognized Sky-eye because he had recently started broadcasting on a short videoplatform which greatly increased his exposure rate.
"Sky-eye Carney?"
Jude was about to hand over the blue sapphire necklace to Lachlan but noticed that everyone'sattention had shifted towards Sky-eye. His eyes lit up as he remembered hearing about thisappraisal master before.
He sneered at Lachlan and said, "You're not worthy of touching this necklace! Since there's anexpert present, let him appraise it for me!"
With that said, Jude held up the blue sapphire necklace and shouted loudly at Sky-eye, "Sky-eyeCaney over here! I am Iylonio Smith family's Jude. Could you please help me out by giving yourprofessional opinion?"
Upon hearing his name being called by Jude, Sky-eye turned around in surprise before walkingover slowly while muttering under his breath, "Mr. Willis…"
After Sky-eye arrived, he first looked at Lachlan and asked. But at this moment, Lachlan gave him aglance and shook his head lightly, pointing to Jude instead.
The expert appraiser immediately caught on and turned to look at Jude with a very impressivedemeanor. "Young man, what can I do for you?"
"Sky-eye, I heard that you are a big shot in the appraisal industry. I have a blue diamond necklacehere that I would like you to take a look at! Some people say that this blue diamond is fake. Pleaseauthenticate it!"
Jude handed over the sapphire necklace arrogantly.
"Yes, Master Carney please take a look!"
"This blue diamond is obviously top-notch quality. How could it be fake?"
"You need to prove it..."
"Everyone is watching!"
Onlookers were all saying one thing or another.
Kiera glanced over at Lachlan and secretly worried about him being humiliated in public.
She was speechless towards Lachlan's actions; she thought he should just be her shield withoutcausing trouble.
As for Jude sending her gifts or provoking Lachlan with his words, she didn't care either way sinceshe wasn't going to accept them anyway.
Kiera also felt that the quality of this blue sapphire was extremely good; she liked it just by lookingat it so there was no way it could be fake!
At this point Sky-eye exclaimed, "Oh?" as he examined the string of gems, "Let me see!"
He took several glances before saying "Hmm," then continued, "It looks pretty good! Who said thisgemstone is fake?"
"It's him!"
Upon hearing Sky-eye's words, Jude pointed at Lachlan, wearing a smirk on his face. Manyonlookers, both male and female, followed suit, directing their attention towards Lachlan withexpressions of schadenfreude.
Whether out of jealousy for Kiera, the goddess by Lachlan's side, or disdain for Lachlan, everyonewas eager to witness the unfolding drama.
"That's right! It's me! Sky-eye please make sure you're seeing clearly! Is this blue sapphire real ornot?"
Lachlan nodded, smiling at Sky-eye.
Sky-eye's eyes flickered a few times, realizing that this situation involved Lachlan and feeling a bitconflicted at the moment.
Last time in Anton's establishment, Lachlan had done him a favor, preserving Sky-eye's reputationin front of Anton. As an expert in the appraisal world, he frequently interacted with the circle's bigshots. In recent dealings with Monty, Sky-eye had mentioned Lachlan, and from the way Montyspoke, he could vaguely sense Monty's respect for Lachlan.
This made Sky-eye secretly amazed and even more felt that Lachlan was unfathomable!
After a fierce battle in his heart, he had already made up his mind.
Next, under everyone's gaze, Sky-eye carefully examined this sapphire and used severalidentification tools.
It seemed that he was really distinguishing between true and false!
"How about it Sky-eye? This sapphire of mine is worth five million euros that I bought from theAkuth auction house!"
"It couldn't be fake, right?" Jude asked confidently and proudly.
The onlookers also eagerly awaited the answer from this master appraiser.
In fact, to everyone present it seemed like a foregone conclusion: this sapphire must be real. Thatguy was just talking nonsense because he couldn't produce something as precious as this himselfso he deliberately belittled others instead.
However, in the next second only saw Sky-eye finally move his gaze away from the sapphire. Undereveryone's surprised eyesight, he slowly shook his head.
"Young man, nothing is impossible!"
"I'm sorry to tell you that this sapphire is actually fake! It is actually produced in southwest Priocia,just a blue crystal!"
"Not... a diamond..." Sky-eye said seriously and regretfully.
Wow...
As soon as these words fell, the scene erupted into an uproar.
Everyone was dumbfounded!novelbin
Including Kiera who showed surprise on her face.
What?
This sapphire turned out to be fake?
"How could it be possible? Look carefully! How could this blue gemstone possibly be fake?"
Jude stood there stunned for several seconds before shouting out loudly with anger andunwillingness written all over his face!
He simply couldn't accept such an appraisal result!!
