Chapter 129

Zachary smiled with arrogance in his eyes. “As long as the treasure you take out is really as you say and that it’s really worth a small sum like the Roman vase, our family won’t care!”

When Sharon heard this, she couldn’t help but sneer. Hearing his words, I thought that he had earned tens of millions for the Harris family.

The woman looked at everyone present and took out a glass box. There was a… Portland vase inside?

“How is this possible?”

“Are we mistaken? Isn’t this object at the British Museum?”

“There are so many vases. Who knows if it might be one of them?”

Everyone discussed and examined the ancient Roman vase with a white design on the dark blue glass window. Many people had replicated this vase in the Victorian era. Who knew if the one in front of them was real or fake.

Sharon suddenly remembered that she had seen this kind of stimulation in Watson’s notes. The reason why the Portland Vase was valuable was that its manufacturing method was a kind of ‘gem relief glass.’

This method was very powerful because it actually used the skill of carving gems to add dark glassware that hadn’t cooled down into the white, melted glass liquid. This way, it could form a light-color exterior. After taking out and removing the excess parts of the white glass layer on the surface, it would naturally show the thick color. This was also the reason for the shallow carved decorative patterns on the vase.

A greedy look appeared in Madam Harris’s eyes. If this thing belongs to the

Harris family… I had used Nicole’s birthday as an excuse today because of this.

If I had asked them directly, they might not have given it to me. But if it is

Nicole’s birthday present… He would definitely be embarrassed to disagree.

“Fred, what do you think of this?” Zachary looked at Fred and asked. I know that something unhappy has happened between Fred and Sharon previously. I’ve asked around but didn’t manage to find out the details. However, the main reason I brought Fred here today is that what Sharon takes out must be trash. By then, letting him judge will be akin to taking revenge for the two of us.

Fred rubbed his chin and nodded. “That’s right. This should be a vase that was left behind during the Roman Empire.”

“What do you think then, Paul?” May couldn’t help but provoke Paul.

Ignoring May, Paul looked at Sharon and asked seriously, “Miss Sharon, do you think this thing is real or fake?”

Sharon glanced at it and thought for a while before saying, “If I’m not wrong, this should be fake.”

“Sharon, who gave you the guts to spout nonsense in front of everyone?! If you continue spouting nonsense, get lost quickly!” Zachary stood up, his tone angry.

June also glared at her daughter-in-law. VVhydid she stand up at this time? Is she trying to embarrass our family?

“Haha, didn’t you say that she doesn’t know anything? Why are you looking for her?” May glanced at the old gentleman sitting on the chair. “Shall we get started?”

Unexpectedly, the woman who took out the vase shook her head. She looked at May unhappily. “I say, Miss May, are you joking with me? Can this thing be touched just because you want to? If it breaks, can you buy it?”

May’S expression also became ugly.

Just as she was about to speak, that old man gestured for her to calm down. Then, he said, “I’m sorry. We were too much.”

“Uncle!”

Finally, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man known as Leo stood up. He went to the person holding the vase and observed it seriously. After a long time, he nodded. “This item has a high visual value and is very skillfully made. It fits the Roman eras craftsmanship. I think it should be real.”

Everyone was in an uproar.

Nicole glanced at Madam Harris and quickly stood up. “Thank you for the birthday present Auntie gave me. I like it very much!”

When the woman called Celeste heard this, her expression changed. Didn’t they say we are here to appraise treasures? How could a junior ask for a birthday gift!?

Zachary laughed loudly and said, “As expected Fred and Leo are people with good judgment. They aren’t like some trashy people. They can’t even appraise the treasure, yet they’re still putting on airs here!”

“Haha! After all, what would a little girl know?” When Zachary sa looked at June as if telling her to make clear her identity and status at home.
