667 Jewelry Appraiser
When Sabrina and Penelope heard Charles's words, they were stunned on the spot. Their faces were filled with disbelief. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Because both of them felt that this garnet bracelet was just a fake and not worth much.
However, in Charles's mouth, it had become a priceless Phoenix Bracelet.
"Charles, do you mean that this garnet bracelet is very valuable?" Penelope could not help but hesitate for a moment before asking Charles softly.
"Yes. If I'm not wrong, this bracelet is definitely very expensive—the Phoenix Bracelet is made from unique red gem in the world. This garnet bracelet is a part of the Phoenix Gem. Although its price is not as terrifying as the Phoenix Gem itself, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford…"
Charles said expressionlessly.
"Charles, am I joking with us? Connor is a poor boy. How could he have the money to give Sabrina such an expensive gift?" Penelope asked with a doubtful tone.
"That's right, Connor shouldn't have that much money!" Sabrina added.
"I think your dad must have made a mistake. This is definitely a fake. It's not a Phoenix Bracelet at all. If it's really a Phoenix Bracelet, then why didn't Connor react at all when Sabrina's friends laughed at him at that time? He didn't stand up and refute their words either…"
Penelope had witnessed what had happened in the living room back then and said all this with certainty.
"Well, after all, Dad has never seen a Phoenix Bracelet before. It's normal for him to make a mistake!" Sabrina nodded in agreement.
However, Charles did not think that he had made a mistake. He said with certainty, "I've seen a necklace made of Phoenix Gem before. There's no way I could be wrong…"
"But Dad, I know Connor's family situation very well. He doesn't have so much money to buy such an expensive gift for me…" Sabrina said softly after a moment of hesitation.
"Now is not the time to discuss whether Connor has the money to buy this garnet bracelet. Instead, we have to figure out what's going on with this garnet bracelet and whether it's a real Phoenix Bracelet!" Charles took out his phone as he spoke and continued, "I know a very famous jewelry appraisal expert in Porthampton. I'll ask him to come over and appraise it now..."
"Yes, get someone to appraise it!" Penelope hurriedly nodded. At this moment, she did not believe that the garnet bracelet that Connor gave Sabrina was a Phoenix Bracelet. How could a poor kid who was still studying have so much money?
Charles hesitated for a moment before picking up his phone and making a call. He then briefly explained the purpose of his call.
Because of Charles's identity, the other party naturally did not dare to refuse.
About half an hour later, a white-haired old man arrived at Sabrina's house.
When Charles saw the old man, he quickly went up to him warmly and said with a smile, "Mr. Daniels, I'm really sorry for asking you to come over so late at night…"
"It's fine, Mr. Ziegler. I have nothing to do at home, so I came out for a walk…"
Mr. Daniels replied with a smile.
"Mr. Daniels, please come in!" Charles made an inviting gesture to Mr. Daniels.
Mr. Daniels walked up to Sabrina and exchanged some pleasantries with her.
"Mr. Daniels, I just want you to help me see if this garnet bracelet is really a Phoenix Bracelet!" Charles picked up the garnet bracelet that Connor had given to Sabrina and respectfully handed it to Mr. Daniels.
Mr. Daniels was a highly respected gem appraisal master in Porthampton. He was very knowledgeable in appraising jewelry. Therefore, his appraisal of the bracelet would carry a high level of credibility.
If even Mr. Daniels said that this garnet bracelet was the real Phoenix Bracelet, then there would be no problem. However, if he felt that it was fake, then there would be no room left for doubt in everyone's minds!
After Mr. Daniels took the garnet bracelet, he looked at it very carefully. Then, he turned to Charles and said, "Mr. Ziegler, this garnet bracelet is the real Phoenix Bracelet..."
"You identified it so quickly?" After Penelope heard Mr. Daniels's words, a trace of shock flashed across her eyes.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, appraising gemstones usually took a long time. But at this moment. Mr. Daniels was sure that this garnet bracelet was the real item in such a short time. It was indeed unbelievable.
"..."
Mr. Daniels could not help but turn his head and look at Penelope indifferently in the face of Penelope's doubt. Then, he said softly, "Madam Ziegler, I've already appraised this garnet bracelet once before, so I'm very sure that this bracelet is made from the Phoenix Gem…"
"You've already appraised it once?" When everyone heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Mr. Daniels, are you saying that you've already appraised this garnet bracelet?" Charles asked Mr. Daniels in shock.
"That's right. A few days ago, the people from the Grand Hotel invited me and a few other experts to help them appraise a batch of jewelry. Among them was this Phoenix Bracelet. At that time, I appraised it with many gemstone experts and confirmed that this garnet bracelet was a Phoenix Bracelet…"
Mr. Daniels said confidently.
When everyone heard Mr. Daniels's words, they finally realized that the garnet bracelet that Connor had given Sabrina was a real Phoenix Bracelet. However, what they did not understand was that since this garnet bracelet belonged to the Grand Hotel, why did Connor have it?
Could it be that Connor stole this garnet bracelet from the Grand Hotel?
Charles's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he whispered to Mr. Daniels, "Mr. Daniels, do you know who the owner of this garnet bracelet is?" "I heard that this garnet bracelet was auctioned off to Miss Madison Phillips for 80 million that night, but I don't know why it appeared in your hands, Mr. Ziegler…"
Mr. Daniels replied indifferently.
After hearing Mr. Daniels's words, Charles could not help but take a deep breath. At this moment, he was certain that this garnet bracelet was stolen from Madison Phillips by Connor.
However, he didn't answer Mr. Daniels's question. Instead, he changed the topic and exchanged a few pleasantries with Mr. Daniels to brush off the matter.
Half an hour later, Charles sent Mr. Daniels out of the villa and returned home with an ugly expression.
Both Charles and Penelope had ugly expressions on their faces. Both of them thought that Connor had stolen this garnet bracelet from Madison Phillips!
