Chapter 425: Chapter 425
The people around once again looked at the bracelet on Old Madam Lancaster’s wrist.
Someone who had attended that auction exclaimed repeatedly, "Now that you mention it, I recall this bracelet was auctioned for fifty million, a sky-high price, truly one-of-a-kind."
"It’s said to be a masterpiece, blessed by Master Yuanhui himself, and also crafted by the Master’s hands to fetch such a price. It seems it was bought by the Thatcher Family."
"Blessed by Master Yuanhui, wearing it on your wrist must have many benefits."
"It sounds much better than a Buddhist scripture, after all, you can wear it daily, and the jade can be nurturing." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
Heidi Leighton’s face turned as dark as if water could drip from it. She didn’t expect the birthday gift she sent to be overshadowed by Nina Sinclair, and now people even thought that the Buddhist scripture she gifted couldn’t compare to what Nina Sinclair sent!
But what did these people say just now?
They said this jade bracelet was bought by the Thatcher Family?
Why would someone like Nina Sinclair be involved with the Thatcher Family? Even if she bought it from them, where would she get fifty million to pay?
There must be something wrong!
Her eyes darkened, as she feigned confusion and asked, "Nina Sinclair, it turns out this jade bracelet is so valuable, fifty million is no small amount. I wonder where did you get the money? Someone just mentioned this bracelet was bought at auction by the Thatcher Family. Could it be you’re wearing a counterfeit?"
Nina Sinclair’s expression changed slightly.
She had spent her entire saving of fifteen thousand when buying it, and Joel Thatcher hadn’t mentioned anything. It seemed like it wasn’t supposed to be anything significant, that’s why she was so confident.
Who would have thought, a random jade bracelet from Joel Thatcher could be worth so much.
Even now, if she said the jade bracelet was bought for fifteen thousand from Joel Thatcher, no one would believe her!
Old Master Lancaster’s face turned instantly grave upon hearing Heidi Leighton’s words.
He suspected this woman wasn’t any good, daring to buy a counterfeit as a gift!
If someone hadn’t recognized this item, wouldn’t Moira be ridiculed when she wore it out in the future?
The esteemed Lancaster Family needs to wear a counterfeit?
Immediately, Old Master Lancaster directed an icy gaze at Nina Sinclair, his dissatisfaction reaching an apex.
Seeing Nina Sinclair remain silent, Heidi Leighton smirked, feeling her guess was right.
She sighed and gently advised, "Nina Sinclair, it would have been better to give something inexpensive. But now presenting this sort of thing, it really leaves one speechless."
Her words, although not angry or accusatory, still left Nina Sinclair humiliated.
Old Master Lancaster’s face grew darker the longer he listened.
He glanced at Old Madam Lancaster and gritted his teeth, saying, "Hurry and take off that bracelet, waiting for everyone to realize it’s a counterfeit! How embarrassing!"
Old Madam Lancaster looked at her bracelet with uncertainty.
When Nina Sinclair gifted it to her, she liked it very much, and after wearing it, she almost couldn’t bear to take it off.
Now being told to remove it, she felt reluctant. Could it really be a fake?
Old Madam Lancaster asked her dear friend, "Florence, can you take a look at this bracelet? Is it really a counterfeit?"
The old lady named Florence responded and put on her reading glasses.
She lifted Old Madam Lancaster’s wrist, squinted her eyes, studied it for a long time, and then muttered, "Moira, this... this is indeed an incredibly convincing imitation, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. I didn’t realize it earlier, but a fake is always a fake!"
