Chapter 4511
Simon was shivering with rage. It was his first time enduring such humiliation since he came to Golden Sands.
He gritted his teeth, still holding his phone.
"I didn't break the statue! Why should I give you any money? Why should I take responsibility?"
"That's right! What right do you have to push the blame on my father without the cops' report?" Gabriel exclaimed.
"Besides, where's proof that the statue actually costs 1.5 million dollars?"
"Maybe it's a fake!"
Simon was so agitated, he started jumping up and down.
"That's right! The statue's a fake!"
Harvey pinched the shards on the ground. "
The statue's real. No doubt about that."
Everyone froze. They looked at Harvey, puzzled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was clearly on Simon's side, yet he was speaking up for Esther.
'What's going on here?"
'Is that man getting betrayed?'
Esther looked at Harvey, and smiled.
Simon was boiling with anger. "What are you saying, you b*stard?"
"Stop spouting nonsense if you don't know anything here, Harvey! I'll get Mother to slap you to death if you keep
doing this!"
Gabriel exclaimed, pointing at Harvey's nose.
"The statue's pure porcelain. It would only be made in ancient times."
"Its style shows that as well."
"Look at the patterns of the mold and the wooden fish here..."
"There are replicas of the same style at later times, but not many would notice such small details."
"Judging from the quality of the porcelain, we can basically confirm my deduction."
"1.5 million dollars for this isn't expensive at all. Rather, it's quite a reasonable price."
Harvey calmly said his piece.
Esther smiled.
"That's right," she said. "You're quite impressive."
"You got everything about the statue right."
"We bought the statue abroad with seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars."
"It's only natural to include the handling fees and travel expenses."
"The price won't change, even if we take this to court."
"The Empire Hall will never cheat its customers."
"That's why, Mr. Zimmer. Since your dear son-in-law has already testified the statue's authenticity...".
"You should hand us the money already."
"You're quite a prominent figure in the city's upper social circle, anyway."
"How are you supposed to survive in the future if you can't pay up for the damages?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEsther grinned mockingly after she said that.
She loved fooling country bumpkins and foreigners who pretended to know everything.
'They think they're part of the circle, but they're just lambs to the slaughter at the end of the day!
"B*stard!"
"You damn b*stard!"
Simon wanted to trample all over Harvey.
"You traitorous b*stard!" he screamed.
"How dare you do this to me!"
"I'm disappointed in you!"
"I was blind to stand up for you before!"
Simon was about to go insane; in his eyes, Harvey wasn't just disrespecting him- Harvey wanted him to die.
'I have to pay that much?!'
'Lilian will kill him for this!"
"This damn b*stard!'
