Female Novel
Chapter 331
“Then let’s hope that you have a really big appetite.”
Harvey York had an indifferent expression.
“This watch is fake, an imitation of the lowest level, extremely stupid that it is laughable. Anyonewith the least amount of common sense could’ve seen past this. An appraisal isn’t even required.”
“You are so hilariously ignorant!”
Luis Zarate could not help but point right at Harvey’s nose.
‘This con man has crossed the line! How dare he even spout these nonsense?’
Rosalie Naiswell looked at Harvey with a hint of disappointment.
‘Losing against a professional like Luis isn’t shameful, but Harvey’s attitude makes him look reallybad.’
Rosalie seemed a little suspicious. Why did Harvey give off a completely different vibe compared tobefore? Has she misjudged him?
Charles Zarate casually glanced at Harvey and smiled.
“It’s good to be competitive when you’re young. But sometimes, you’d have to admit when you havelost. There is no point in being a sore loser.”
Naturally, Charles was also sure that the antique watch was the real deal.
Cough cough.
Shane Naiswell cleared his throat as he looked deeply into Harvey and reminded him.
“Oh Harvey. If you really think that the antique watch is fake, you’d have to at least give a properexplanation.”
Harvey took a quick glance at Shane. That old fox had already known the answer but wouldn’t helpHarvey, instead he wanted Harvey to spell it out himself. Clearly, Shane was trying not to offendCharles.
‘What a bunch of nice people, these old foxes.’
Harvey sighed and said calmly, “Luis’ analysis was very thorough, and I have gained someknowledge from this as well. I did not know that there are so many different ways to deconstruct aRolex watch…”
After hearing what Harvey said, Luis could not help but let out a proud smile.
‘Looks like this con man is about to confess.’
“However,” Harvey kept talking as he rubbed on his eyebrow.
“There seems to be a tentative mistake. I’m sure everyone here can tell which watch model this is,correct?”
“Rolex’s Submariner, also known as the Water Ghost and this particular watch is the prototype forthe Water Ghost.”
Luis groaned. This was all basic knowledge, how could he not have known?
“So in which year was the first generation Water Ghost invented?”
“The year 1953…” Luis unconsciously uttered.
Luis immediately realized something as soon as he said that.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
The Water Ghost series was only available from the year 1953, but the “Tiffany” logo on the antiquewatch, according to what Luis had said himself, was a special deal during 1940 to 1943 in Americaby Tiffany shop branches.
The time difference between the watch and the logo were ten years apart. This was one of the mostcommon tentative mistakes, therefore the watch was clearly fake.
A shame that Luis was only factoring in the technicalities to the historical evolution of said antiquewatch for appraisal, but had forgotten about common sense.
“Two hundred dollars, tops.” Harvey spoke calmly.
“Master Naiswell, you have been duped if you bought the watch for anything more than thatamount.”
Shane’s eyes twitched and was rendered speechless. He had spent one thousand dollars for this,but if what the kid said was true then he was taken advantage of.
“How… How is this possible…”
Luis grabbed the so-called antique watch, refusing to believe Harvey’s deduction, and flipped to theback of the watch. His body started to tremble as soon as he saw the simple and crude core of thewatch.
‘A fake watch! As fake as it can be!’
The crucial point being that he had made a misjudgement about the said watch and lost to a conman.
Rosalie’s mouth slightly opened. Her astonished eyes stared intensely at Harvey while she wasblushing.
She doubted Harvey’s capabilities before, until Harvey had deduced whether the watch was fake ornot using the least amount of effort. This was not a talent that someone like Luis could have.
At that moment, Harvey and Luis’ rankings in her heart are set!
