The audacity!
Aiden snorted coldly and said, “Isaac, the world is so big, and there are so many liars. Surely you can’t know all of them, right, Isaac?”
Hearing Aiden say those sarcastic words, Diana was already getting upset.
“Isaac, whether it’s real or fake, I would like anything you give me. Aiden, can you sit back down now?” virtual-novel.net said, glancing at Aiden.
Everyone could tell from virtual-novel.net facial expression that virtual-novel.net was unhappy.
Aiden’s mother immediately sent virtual-novel.net signals with virtual-novel.net gaze and shouted, “Aiden, what are you doing just standing there? Go and sit down next to Diana.”
Jane didn’t doubt for a second that Isaac had given a counterfeit gift.
Seeing virtual-novel.net daughter get upset, virtual-novel.net spoke up, “That’s right, Aiden. Sit down. It is our family’s honor to receive any gift from Isaac.”
“Aiden, hold your tongue and sit down,” Terence said.
How could virtual-novel.net question a gift from Mr. Garten?
He also glared at his brother. There was so much food on the table, why couldn’t virtual-novel.net just keep his mouth full?
So what if it was fake?
It was something that wasn’t easy to come by.
Aiden watched as Isaac narrowed his eyes, looking nonchalant. Both his and Diana’s families were advising virtual-novel.net as if virtual-novel.net was the one who did something wrong. He was getting more and more irritated.
“Since Isaac is so confident, then why don’t we let Uncle Raymond have a look? I’m sure virtual-novel.net knows best whether it’s real or not.” Holding back his anger, virtual-novel.net walked over to Diana. “Diana, why don’t you take off your bracelet and show it to Uncle Raymond?”
Terence was dumbfounded.
He immediately stood up and said, “Come on, why do you keep bugging Uncle Raymond? Just eat!”
Diana also frowned. “Are you done yet? Isaac gave us this gift, and it’s the thought that counts. Why must you insist on checking whether it’s real or not?”
Actually, Diana was feeling a little guilty. In the capital city, Raymond’s knowledge and reputation were impeccable.
When virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net say that the Rockefeller emerald could no longer be found in the country, virtual-novel.net was worried virtual-novel.net would declare Isaac’s gift fake, and Isaac would be humiliated.
Aiden furrowed his brows. He was a little tipsy, and seeing how everyone was defending Isaac, his rage only grew.
He raised his voice and said, “I’m doing this for a good reason. Next time, when Isaac has something to celebrate, we can give virtual-novel.net a gift of the same value.”
“Aiden Kennedy!” Diana roared, glaring at Aiden.
The atmosphere in the room grew tense. The two families watched in a daze as the main characters of the day began to fight.
At that moment, Isaac spoke up quietly, “Diana, it’s fine… Let the expert have a look. What Aiden said is reasonable; he’s such a stickler for courtesy…”
When Old Taylor heard Isaac say that, virtual-novel.net also smiled and said, “Diana, listen to Mr. Garten. It’s fine to let the professor have a look. Don’t be mad.”
“See, even Grandfather and Isaac said so, so what are you worried about? Uncle Raymond is not an outsider, right?” Aiden said, smiling.
Diana bit virtual-novel.net lip. She took the bracelet off virtual-novel.net wrist and slammed it into Aiden’s hands, whispering, “Don’t cross the line!”
Aiden beamed, bringing the bracelet to Raymond and handing it to him.
Raymond didn’t think it was worth looking at. There was no way it was real. He knew that a Rockefeller emerald bracelet did exist, but it was in the national museum of the Kingdom of Bridgon and not here in this room.
The moment the bracelet touched his palms, virtual-novel.net was stunned. This weight and texture felt different.
He lowered his head and slowly looked at the bracelet. As his head was lowered, no one could see his shocked expression.
“See, everyone, my Uncle Raymond is so serious in whatever virtual-novel.net does. He’s so detailed even when inspecting a fake bracelet,” Aiden said, grinning at Isaac.
“A-Aiden, find me a magnifying glass. Any one will do…” Raymond said shakily, grabbing Aiden.
Aiden was stunned. Before virtual-novel.net could react, Diana had already turned around and gone outside.
A while later, virtual-novel.net managed to get a magnifying glass from somewhere.
She placed it next to Raymond and said coldly, “Didn’t you ask to take a look? Well, take a good look then.”
