Chapter 147


    Chapter 147 How could Catelyn possiblypensate for such expensive heels, though?


    Everyone held their breaths in anticipation. Lori extended her hand to Catelyn and said, “I’ve apologized.


    Seeing that you’re still junior to me, I won’t make this any more difficult than it is for you. Just write me a


    check worth a million.”

    “A million?” Catelyn chuckled. “Missus Mason, your heels can’t be worth over three thousand, yet you’re


    trying to scam a million out of me? How could you even think of this?”


    Very often than not, the most expensive parts of this type of shoe were the gem and diamonds on it,


    along with the brand and design. “Three thousand? You’re just saying this because you don’t want to pay


    me back, right? This pair of heels is worth one million! Go ask Loue if you don’t believe me.” Lori’s


    features twitched in rage as she pointed at Loue. The others turned their attention to Loue following


    the direction Lori was pointing at. Loue was not used to the attention, but she nheless maintained


    her smile as she stepped out. “Miss rk, I bought this pair of heels that she’s wearing right now in an


    auction a few days back with one million and forty thousand.” She paused and took out her phone to find


    a photo she took. “Here’s the proof of purchase, and you can go check with the auction organizer. “You


    don’t have to stall, Catelyn. If you can’t afford it, I believe that Missus Mason won’t force you to


    compensate.” The confident smile on Catelyn’s face remained as she spoke, “Please take a closer look,


    Miss Atherton. Real, natural diamonds are formed under pressure, so it’s extremely rare that they’d end


    up with no w at all. There will be faint marks, and the color tends to be slightly yellowish, whereas fake


    diamonds are usually manufactured, hence their perfect shape, wless and bright in color, but they’re


    not as hard as real diamonds and are more vulnerable to oxidation inparison.”


    She then pointed her slim finger at the heels Lori was wearing. The crowd gasped as they stared intently


    at Lori’s heels, desperately trying to see for themselves if there was any w in the diamonds. It would be


    hrious if those turned out to be fake diamonds.


    “…” Lori’s toes curled. She took two steps back subconsciously at how professional Catelyn sounded,


    but soon, she straightened her back once again. “As if! Loue got me these heels, so how could they be


    fake? It’s worth a million, and you’re just trying to get away from paying that much!”


    Loue was thedy of the Atherton family, so how could she not know the difference between real and


    fake diamonds? Catelyn had not been in contact with the elitemunity for such a long time that she


    had to

    be bluffing, and Lori was not about to believe her lies.


    Catelyn did not yield to Lori’s stubbornness. “If you don’t believe me, you can call a professional jeweler


    to check right now. Let them take a look and see if those diamonds on your heels are real or fake ones.”


    Excluding the price of the diamonds, the heels themselves were worth a few hundred at best, and


    Catelyn felt that she was already generous enough to offer them 3000 dors. Lori stood proudly, cing


    her hands on her hips, and said, “Very well, let’s call someone! You’re just a girl who used to be ady of


    a now-bankrupt family, so why try to pretend like you’re a professional jeweler?” Lori turned and told


    Queenie to make the call, while Loue remained quiet. She did not know much about diamonds, but the


    diamonds on Lori’s heels seemed blindingly bright and not at all fake.


    L’s face, however, slowly began to pale. She had studied jewelry design and was in charge of


    Chandier Jewelry. She did not inspect the shoes as they were meant for Lori, but with what Catelyn had


    said, she took a closer look and realized that something was off, but it was already toote.


    “There’s no need,” the cold voice of a man echoed in the hall. Cedrick stepped out as he stared sharply


    at Lori before dering majestically, “I happen to own a jewelry firm as well, and I’ve contacted the


    jewelry appraiser. He’ll inspect the diamonds right now.”
