Chapter 3802
'Master Joe?' Everyone became excited at the mention of the famous appraiser's name. He would know for sure
whether the jade fan was the real deal. The owner quickly went to get him.
Soon, he came back with a salt-and-pepper-haired old man, who looked to be about 60 years old. He was dressed
in an ash-white robe and looked to be in good spirits.
The crowd became even more excited when they saw the old man.
"It's Master Joe!"
"We'll know once and for all whether the jade fan is real!"
Darryl remained standing leisurely where he was. He knew Simon Joe very well as they

Simon.
"Master Joe, this is the jade fan I told you about. Can you please check whether that was
made during the Song Dynasty? That customer there had paid two million for it, so I want
to make sure that all his doubts are dispelled," the owner said as he passed the jade fan to
Simon.
Simon nodded and repeatedly turned the jade fan over.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "You must have been careless when receiving this fan.
This is a perfect counterfeit. The colors in the veins are made by distressing the jade.
Brilliantly done, but a fake nonetheless. You should refund the money."
He patted the owner on the shoulder. The owner was struck speechless, while the
onlookers were in an uproar.
"So the jade fan is really a fake!"
"I can't believe a shop as big as this would have a fake!"
"Wow, Гт definitely out of my depth here. The jade fan seems real, no matter how I look at
it!"
Skylar was speechless too, and his face darkened. 'Sh*t! I thought he said that because he
had no money, but he was right after all!'
He stared at Darryl vehemently. His plan had backfired, and he ended up making a fool out of himself. He could
not accept that!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe owner quickly refunded his money and apologized. "I'm so sorry, sir. I should have been more careful when
checking that jade fan. It's a good thing that Master Joe was here, otherwise, my shop's reputation would never
recover from that blunder."
Skylar ignored him. He wished he could strangle the owner. It was all his fault for selling a fake that he was
humiliated in front of Debra and the onlookers.
"You have no one to blame but yourself. Why pretend you know anything about antiques? Even if you train for
ten years, you still wouldn't compare to Mister Darryl," Jewel said to Skylar. Then she turned to look at Darryl with
awe.
Debra simply smiled.
Skylar's face flushed and then paled. He was beyond angry but could not vent it out.
