Chapter 148 Cedrick’s words represented authority, and there was not a soul that would doubt Mason

Group’s jewelry appraiser.

The organizer, Jones, beamed. “That’s great! It’s wonderful that you’re willing to help, Mister Mason…”

He hastily commanded his men to set up the projector so that everyone could see the appraising

process and proof of who was right. Catelyn waited quietly for the appraiser to get online. Soon, the

appraiser’s face appeared before the enormous screen in the middle of the hall.

Lori took off her heels and carefully wiped away the wine on them, before taking them toward the camera

smugly. “Kind sir, please inspect these for me to see how much they’re worth. Someone dares to accuse

me of wearing fake diamonds! I have to set her straight!”

On the screen, an awkward expression appeared on the appraiser’s face as soon as he saw the heels.

He even seemed hesitant to make his comment.

Queenie got closer and said, “Go on, then. Are these real or not?”

The appraiser remained silent and looked to Cedrick for instruction. He was an employee under Mason

Group, so it was natural that he would obey his boss’ command.

With one hand in his pocket, Cedrick said, “Go ahead.”

With Cedrick’s permission, the appraiser no longer hesitated and said in contempt, “Master Cedrick,

excuse me for being blunt. The craftsmanship of the heels isn’t bad, but the diamonds

“These are just mid-range cubic zirconia, which means they’re man-made diamonds. The selling price of

these is quite cheap and usually ranges within a hundred. Their color will fade within days once exposed

to water.”

The guests did not dare to doubt the appraiser Cedrick had found and gaped at the results. “Within a

hundred? Gods, so those are fake!”

“She’s supposed to be Missus Mason. What makes her think she can ask for a million as compensation

when she can’t even tell real diamonds from fake ones?”

“This is clearly a scam!”

“Didn’t you hear her? She said that she got it from her future daughter-in-law. I guess she’s just another

idiot who got fooled! Hahaha!”

“It’s too bad that she was fooled, but how could she be so relentless? She was acting like a shrew who

tried to get Catelyn to pay her, and instead ended up embarrassing herself.”

“It’s degrading to think that I even talked to her just now.” “No way, I need to stay away from her. Ugh.”

“Aren’t you impressed by Catelyn, though? She was great with piano and dancing, and we now

know that she can even tell if diamonds are real with just one look!” “That’s what a lady should be like…”

Suddenly, the heels did not feel as precious to Lori as they did before. They, instead, made her a

laughingstock. All the guests stared at Lori and Louella with interest and amusement.

Lori’s face was as pale as a ghost, but she still could not believe it and started shaking her head

frantically.

“No, that’s not possible. All of you are plotting together! How could these be fake? Catelyn Clark, how

much did you pay this appraiser?”

“Missus Mason, it’s about time this fiasco comes to an end, don’t you think?” Edwin interrupted her and

sneered evilly. “Catelyn has been with me ever since she came out of the bathroom, so how could she

have locked you inside? I’m suspecting that you simply dislike my date and are trying to defame her.” “It’s

not like that, Mister Atherton! Let me explain…” Rendered speechless, Lori looked away and avoided

Edwin’s eyes guiltily. She turned to Jamie pleadingly, but Jamie felt that his pride was completely

destroyed and thus looked away, ignoring her in frustration. He had warned her not to speak so much,

and now, she had embarrassed all of them!

Seeing that no one would speak for her, she apologized carelessly with resignation and tried to run away.
