"I’ve had the fortune to see pendants of slightly lesser quality than this before, and they were worth millions. It’s such a pity this pendant is smashed ..."
The elder’s exclamation drew amazed glances towards the shards of the pendant from many present.
Old Master Jacobs, Nathan Jacobs, and even the other four members of the Quinn Family frowned at the pendant fragments.
"Grandpa Kensington, he’s just my uncle’s assistant. How could he afford a pendant worth millions?"
Nathan said, casting a cold glance at Kyle Keaton, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain.
"..." July Quinn thought, Nathan Jacobs is just a sour chicken!
Amanda Ford, upon hearing the elder’s words, had initially hoped to save face.
But Nathan’s words immediately brought her back to reality.
"Yes, this is just a glass imitation they’ve picked up from who knows where. There’s no need for you to worry, sir." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn noⅴelfire.net
Her voice was full of embarrassment and disgruntlement.
If she had known July Quinn and this assistant son-in-law would make such a joke, she wouldn’t have let them appear today.
But at this moment, the elder took out a magnifying glass and carefully examined the pendant fragments a few times.
"No, this is genuine. I’ve been studying jadeite for decades, there’s no way I could be mistaken."
Nathan immediately frowned, "Grandpa Kensington, are your eyes getting blurry with age?"
Just as he finished speaking, Old Master Jacobs reprimanded coldly.
"Nathan! The older you get, the less well-mannered you become. Your grandpa Kensington is a nationally recognized jadeite appraisal master. If he says it’s genuine, how could it be fake?"
In fact, many people present, including the members of the Quinn Family, didn’t know Chester Kensington’s identity until Old Master Jacobs spoke.
After his words, everyone looked at Chester Kensington with much more respect.
They also looked at Kyle Keaton with more surprise.
The four members of the Quinn Family and Nathan also looked at Kyle Keaton, but their gaze was filled with confusion.
"Keaton, is this pendant really some glass type imperial green?"
Amanda Ford, having the advantage of standing close to July Quinn and Kyle Keaton, quietly asked.
Having just heard Old Master Jacobs’ words, Amanda was now almost certain that the pendant was genuine.
In that instant, she regretted it a bit.
If she hadn’t smashed the pendant earlier, the Quinn Family would now look extremely gracious gifting such an expensive token.
"Yes, bought it at Empire Mall, over sixty million."
Kyle Keaton replied seemingly without much thought.
Amanda Ford felt heartbroken: "I really didn’t know this was genuine, I..."
But July Quinn didn’t even glance at her, only raising an eyebrow towards Nathan.
"Sour chicken, if we’re talking about seating based on the value of gifts just now, where does a gift worth over sixty million place us? Above your head?"
Some around couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
Others began quietly discussing.
"July Quinn really has a sharp tongue."
"Being able to casually gift a jadeite pendant worth over sixty million, he might be more than just an assistant, right?"
"Who told Master Jacobs to look down on others? It’s only right that he gets a lesson."
Nathan, who was being taught a lesson: "..."
His expression could be compared to a foul-smelling drain.
The words from July Quinn and others were like loud slaps across his face.
"Miss Quinn, Mr. Keaton, I appreciate your gesture."
Perhaps feeling that all his dignity was lost thanks to Nathan, Old Master Jacobs politely asked his friends to collect the jade fragments and then moved to a corner to chat with his old friends.
However, Old Master Jacobs probably didn’t expect that as soon as he left, Nathan would immediately ask people to leave.
"You don’t have an invitation, so even if you present a gift, you have no right to stay here."
He didn’t want to ponder why an assistant could casually gift something worth millions; he just wanted to quickly expel Kyle Keaton.
But at this moment, July Quinn blocked in front of Kyle Keaton, retrieving an invitation from her bag and tossing it in front of Nathan.
"Isn’t it usually that one invitation allows a guest? Isn’t it enough that I have an invitation?"
Nathan felt uncomfortable, not just because of the rude toss by July Quinn, but also because of her shielding of Kyle Keaton.
His heart felt like it was pricked by needles, painful yet without wounds to show.
Therefore, he didn’t even glance at the invitation tossed before him, brutally declaring, "The invitation is made by me, and the rules are set by me. If I say your invitation doesn’t qualify for a guest, then it doesn’t!"
To this end, he even called security, "Get him out of the hall for me!"
"How dare you!" July Quinn was on the verge of bursting and ready to fight.
But Kyle Keaton wrapped an arm around July Quinn’s shoulders, signaling her to calm down before he looked at Nathan.
"If having an invitation means staying, then I also just happen to have one..."
