Chapter 225 I Came Only Because Of Mr Cross


    Publicly apologize on television?


    Sylvie''s conscience started pricking on her.


    Nathan raised his eyebrow. "Why? You''re afraid because you know you''re at fault?”


    Sylvie firmly believed that Penny''s ne was fake, and so she hissed through gritted teeth, "What


    do I have to feel guilty about? Let''s do this if you wanted it so much! Everyone here can be a witness.

    So, how''re you going to prove her ne is real?"


    Nathan turned to look at Sean. "Grandpa, you''re the most knowledgeable here. ording to you,


    who''s the most esteemed jewelry appraiser in Channing?"


    Sean gave it a thought before answering, "Of course it''s the boss of Perpetual Love, River


    Chambein. He''s a well-known jeweler in Channing, and a very respected jewelry appraiser too."


    "The ne ''Evermore'' has always been the hallmark of Perpetual Love,” Nathan nodded. "In that


    case, let''s invite River


    Chambein over and have him determine the authenticity of these nes."


    Nathan gave Colin Dunne a call.


    Not long after, Colin arrived with the esteemed jewelry appraiser, River Chambein.


    When River saw Nathan, he trembled as he greeted him reverently. "Good evening Mr. Cross and Mrs.


    Cross."


    Nathan personally removed the pink diamond ne from Penny''s neck and handed it over to River.


    "Mr. Chambein, thank you foring. Someone has been using my wife of wearing an imitation.


    I would like it if you could determine its authenticity for us right here."


    River quickly got to work and put on his white gloves and sses, then studied the ne


    meticulously.


    Finally, he raised his head and in a somber voice, he said, "Mr. Cross and Mrs. Cross. I will swear on


    my life, this ''Evermore'' ne is genuine. It''s estimated cost is at least a hundred million.”


    River''s deration elicited gasps from the crowd.


    Sylvie herself felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her whole body shake and her face was


    drained of all color. "No! That''s impossible!”


    River was highly unimpressed with Sylvie''s insistence. "Are you questioning my expertise?"


    Nathan gave a small smile. "Mr.


    Chambein, Ms. Larson also owns a pink diamond ne like ''Evermore,'' and she insists hers is


    genuine too. Why don''t you have a look at hers too so we can finallyy this to rest."


    River nced at the ne around Sylvie''s neck. "Hers is an imitation and a cheap one too. The


    supposed diamonds are merely man-made spinel. I can swear that in my name and reputation."


    This time, everyone looked at Sylvie Larson in awe.


    She already had a reputation for enjoying men''spanies. And now, she was caught ndering


    Penny while she herself was wearing a fake ne. Her attitude was truly atrocious and the crowd


    disdained her for her ill behavior.


    Nathan looked at the quivering Sylvie. "Clearly, the one that has been making up lies and spreading


    ridiculous rumors is you. I want to see you apologizing on TV tonight. Now, you get out of here."


    When Sylvie arrived at the mansion earlier, she walked-in elegantly with her head held high. But now,


    everyone could see how embarrassed she was as she ran out with her entourage in humiliation.


    "Ms. Larson! Ms. Larson...”


    Sean Smith was feeling both frantic and angry about Sylvie''s leaving. He hollered at Nathan and


    Penny, "How could you chase her off?"


    "Now we''re never going to be able to work with the Larsons. Look at what you people have done!”


    Nathan gave Sean a cold look. "Since you''re not genuine about celebrating Penny''s birthday, then I see


    no reason for her birthday feast to be held here.


    He then turned his attention to the guests. "Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a change of ns.


    My wife''s birthday dinner will be held at Cloud Pce. We would be honored if everyone could join us


    there and continue the celebrations. Thank you."


    And just like that, Nathan, Penny, and her family took off.


    Some of the guests wanted to be respectful to Penny and so they followed them over to Cloud Pce.


    While some were more concerned with appeasing Sean Smith, so they didn''t go.


    Sean didn''t expect things to blow up this way. The worst thing was, the Smiths hadn''t had any luck with


    the Larsons but ended up getting on their bad side.


    Rage and indignation overcame him as he let off a slew of swear words, cursing


    Nathan and Penny and the rest of her family members.


    Right then, Mayor Russell Crow led a group of city officials into the house.


    Sean was pleasantly surprised and quickly led his family to wee them. "Mr. Mayor, to what do we


    owe the pleasure?"


    Russell smiled. "I came to wish Mrs. Cross a happy birthday and to have a drink with her. Where are


    Mr. and Mrs. Cross?"


    Sean and his family gave each other awkward nces as they were all hesitant to speak up.


    Russell furrowed his brows, and soon he realized what had transpired earlier.


    He gave Sean and his family an icy stare, then turned around as he led the group of city officials out


    the door.


    Sean ran forward to stop him. "Mr. Mayor, we''ve already prepared a feast. Would you like something to


    eat before you leave?"


    "I came here only because of Mr. and Mrs. Cross. Why would I stay here when they''re not even here?"


    Russell snorted.


    Sean and his family were speechless.
