Employing Every Means
Jonathan cast a glance at Rose. Their eyes locked, and a vivid image of the sexy sleepwear in the closet flashed across Rose's mind, causing a slight flush to her cheeks.
"Why is he here?" she inquired.
"Ms. Shaffer, the appraisal expert was brought here by Sir, and he has entrusted the jewelry to him," Sherlyn whispered to her.
Rose was taken aback. Why would the jewelry be handed over to him? According to the planned flow, there should have been some minor chaos later on, allowing William to switch the jewelry. Then, everything would be untraceable. However, at this moment, Rose was beginning to feel uncertain. After both sides had positioned their respective appraisal experts, the woman opened the safe.
As the expert had already appraised half of the contents of the safe, the expected chaos had not yet erupted. Rose looked at William, wanting to ask him what was happening.
However, he paid no attention to her and instead fixed his gaze unwaveringly on her star escort husband. "Cough..."
Rose wanted to catch William's attention with the cough. Suddenly, the appraisal expert brought by the woman whispered something in her ear, Her expression changed dramatically.
"How is this possible? Take another look! These items are fake!" she exclaimed.
The appraisal expert did consider saying they were fake. However, the materials used for these jewels were even more genuine than the real thing.
Furthermore, the appraisal expert Rose had brought seemed somewhat like a Jewelry Appraisal Master from a certain jewelry appraisal program. "Madam..."
The other appraisal expert wanted to say something, but Jonathan gave a signal to his appraisal expert. Halney Yogesh immediately approached the other expert and took an exquisite necklace from his hand. "Make way, it's my turn now," he said confidently.
The other expert was overwhelmed by his presence. He took a step back, too stunned to say another word. Halney carefully examined the jewelry sets and quickly drew a conclusion.
"Who said these were fake? These are as authentic as can be, Mr. Fin
He recalled the instructions from Jonathan to not address him as "Mr. Finch".
Hence, he immediately corrected himself, "Sir, would you like an appraisal certificate?"
His eyes were filled with reverence as he asked.
Issuing an appraisal certificate involved a series of procedures, but with Halney's status, those
procedures could be completed within a matter of minutes.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"Let the certificates be issued jointly by the two experts to avoid any future disputes, Jonathan hinted.
Halney immediately understood his intention. He then stared sternly at the other expert. The other expert had already recognized him and confirmed that he was the Jewelry Appraisal Master. "Let's issue them," he mumbled with a trembling voice.
He had no choice if he wanted to stay in this line of work. However, the woman was furious.
She slapped the expert's face as she exclaimed, "What kind of rubbish are you? Are you colluding with them to deceive me? I said these items are fake, so they must be fake!"
She then waved her hand, and her bodyguards immediately surrounded Rose and her group.
She smirked at Rose as she said, "Young lady, I don't know what trick you've played, but to leave this room, you'll have to repay the one billion."
She now appeared as if she were an aggressor. Rose had encountered ruffians before, but she had never dealt with robbers. She believed that as long as the items were genuine, everything would be settled. However, she hadn't expected that the other party had come specifically for the money and was willing to employ any means necessary to get it.
As she was momentarily stunned, the woman signaled one of her bodyguards. The towering man quickly approached Rose and aimed a powerful punch at her forehead.
"Ah..."
Sherlyn was almost in tears. However, Rose was still somewhat distracted from a moment ago and she reacted a beat too late. She was about to be struck in the head when she instinctively closed her eyes. However, the expected pain never arrived. She could feel a large palm securing her head. With a loud smack and the thump of something heavy hitting the ground, a painful cry echoed throughout the room. Rose regained her senses to find her head cradled by a large hand, her face pressed against a familiar chest. The man's distinctive scent surrounded her. It was her star escort husband.
Her heart skipped a beat. In a daze, she suddenly heard a loud noise as the door to the reception room was kicked open. In the next moment, a group of uniformed police officers stormed in.
