Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 104

“I’m concerned that this might be a fake,” Second Aunt, who was in the crowd, could not help but question. She raised her eyes and looked at Rachel Grey with a faint smile. “It’s understandable if this is a gift from Miss Cruise, but if it’s from Miss Grey, then I’m afraid… I feel there is a need to question it.”

The others murmured, “1.91 million dollars is not a small sum. I’m afraid Miss Grey has never seen so much money in her life, right?”

“In my opinion, this doesn’t need to be appraised at all. It’s definitely a fake!”

Other than the guests who did not know Rachel’s identity, all of the members of the Smith family were aware of Rachel’s identity.

She was just a country girl from a humble background. She was lucky enough to get into the University of Seaxas.

Otherwise, she would probably never have the chance to come to Seaxas in her life. She might even spend her whole life in the countryside.

The stunned Jane Smith finally came back to her senses and said disdainfully, “Do you think such antiques are easy to procure? It must be a fake!”

“Handing us fakes on this important occasion… She’s deliberately embarrassing us in front of outsiders!”

“If she doesn’t have money, so be it. Why is she being so pretentious? Now that she’s been exposed, I want to see what else she has to say!”

“As the saying goes, it is sincerity that matters most. No matter what, this is Miss Grey’s sincerity. I’m afraid Miss Grey is just inexperienced and isn’t aware of the shenanigans within the antique market, so

it’s reasonable for her to be deceived.”

Olivia Cruise was seemingly trying to help Rachel, but Olivia was, in fact, deepening the impression that Rachel had given Old Mr. Smith a “fake.”

The current Smith family was no longer the same as before. Although the Smith family could not compare to the four top families in Seaxas, it was still one of the richest families.

Wealthy families in similar positions not only pursued power, but also cared about their reputation.

Meanwhile, Rachel had publicly presented a fake at Old Mr. Smith’s 80th birthday banquet. It was undoubtedly a humiliation to both Old Mr. Smith and the Smith family.

Old Mr. Smith had invited rich and powerful families in Seaxas to his birthday banquet. If this matter was spread, how could the Smith family face others in the future? Even if Old Mr. Smith was biased toward Rachel, he couldn’t protect her now, right? Olivia’s eyes flashed with imperceptible mockery. Now, Rachel had offended the entire Smith family. She wanted to see how this bitch would escape from this predicament! The guests present had different views. Since they were not implicated, they only watched the show as a bystander. They only secretly glanced at Old Mr. Smith, who was sitting in the main seat.

Ever since the pocket watch had been called out as a “fake,” the old man had remained silent with a calm expression, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts.

After a long time, he said calmly, “Child, I appreciate your kindness. I like this very much.”

Old Mr. Smith’s attitude stunned everyone present.

Initially, they thought that Old Mr. Smith would chase Rachel out in a fit of anger, or he would not treat her as amiably as before. It was out of their expectations to see Old Mr. Smith not pursue the matter.

Rachel looked at the old man calmly. “It’s just something minor. What’s most important is that you like it.”

“So, are you going to keep putting up an act until the end?” Jane glanced at Rachel with ridicule in her eyes, the corners of her mouth revealing a sneer. “You’re still being stubborn at this point! Do you think we lack the know–how for discerning antiques?”

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, “Isn’t that simple? Just find someone to appraise it. If it’s authentic, we can prove this lady’s innocence. If it’s fake…” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“Miss Grey, if this is fake, you will have to smash the pocket watch, then kneel and apologize to Grandpa.”
