The Vengeful Son-in-law -
Chapter 107
In the private room, there was absolute silence, and everyone looked at him.
Rory trembled a few times. He wanted to cry.
"Impossible! You must be wrong! How could it be blue and white porcelain from Ming Dynasty withthis color?” In a hurry, Rory's mind was in a mess and he pointed the spear at Cal.
Cal's face immediately turned serious when he heard this. "Rory, are you questioning my ability ormy character?”
Rory felt Cal's unhappiness, and he realized that he had said something wrong. However, it wasimpossible for him to kneel down, kowtow and call Tom a hundred times grandpa!
Therefore, he would rather offend Cal than betray his dignity.
That must be a joke to make him knelt down for Tom. He would rather die if so.
So he snorted heavily and said, "I can't tell. As everyone knows, Tom is just the uxorialocal son-in-law of the Scotts and a poor boy from the countryside. For so many years, he couldn't even replace ajob. He would only stay at the Scotts to rely on his wife and do housework every day. Someone likehim would receive the valuable Ming Dynasty's blue and white porcelain, which is absolutelyimpossible!"
He sounded reasonable, but now, no one believed him, because the person who made thejudgement was Cal, famous for his integrity and excellent expertise in the antique field. How couldsuch a person lie?
This time, Phoebe looked at Rory's stubborn look and felt sick.
Even James and Elizabeth's impression of him had dropped to the bottom. Rory was rich, but he wasnot a man of virtue.
Tom had expected this kind of situation long ago, and he was not surprised at all. “Rory, are youcheating? Remember, you just wrote it down. Do you want me to read it?"
Rory's face showed a ferocious expression. He violently snatched the paper from Tom's hand andtore it into pieces. "What did you say? Where is the chit?"
Tom was not angry. He sneered. "Admit it or not, Rory, you're such a piece of trash.”
Rory's face was very bad. He wanted to struggle, but when he saw Phoebe’s disgust and disdain, hefelt extremely sad.
Even James and Elizabeth looked down on him now.
He was even more in a twisted mood. He glared at Tom and said, "It's not over!"
Then he turned around and ran away. He was in an embarrassing state. When he ran to the door, hebumped into the waiter who came in with the soup. Half a pot of boiled soup spilled on him,making him jump like a monkey and scream miserably.
Seeing this, Tom finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After Rory left dejectedly, Elizabeth showed the expression of a money-grubber. She walked overand greedily touch the blue and white porcelain. "Wow, this is the blue and white porcelain from theMing Dynasty worth tens of millions. That's great! It's mine from now on!"
Phoebe couldn't stand it any longer. She came over and pulled Elizabeth. "Mom, what are youtalking about? It belongs to Tom. When did it become yours?"
Elizabeth looked back at Phoebe and said, "Tom's is mine. Without me, he couldn't have all thesetoday? Everything he owns is mine! I'm going to be rich. This is a real antique! We've been poor forso long, and we're finally going to be rich.”
Cal coughed. Elizabeth's thick skin made him uncomfortable.
James was also very thrilled. The real blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty was of greatvalue! If it was in his study, he would be proud. When he released the news, numerous people couldpay him a visit.
"Mr. Hall, how much do you think this blue and white porcelain can cost?" Elizabeth asked with lightin her eyes.
Cal said, "This is the blue and white porcelain of the early Ming Dynasty. The forging skill isextremely exquisite. Look at this pattern and material. It should be used in the palace. Its value islimitless!"
Elizabeth's eyes brightened even more. "Isn't that going to sell for a lot of money?"
Phoebe was also curious. She thought to herself that now the Scotts company was facing difficulties.If this antique could be sold at a high price, it could also help the family get through the difficulties.In this way, maybe there was no need to ask for funding
Cal didn't like Elizabeth's idea of using money to measure the value of antiques, but out ofprofessional ethics, he replied, "This kind of blue and white porcelain can sell for at least 25 milliondollars.”
"What?!"
Elizabeth's eyes widened and his breathing quickened!
Phoebe was equally stunned.
Tom was also stunned. He knew that this blue and white porcelain was genuine, but he didn't expectit to be so valuable. Forrest actually gave up so much money in order to please him? Was he thatscary?
In fact, Tom really misunderstood Forrest. He got this blue and white porcelain from a fanatic femalefan. It happened that fan's family was in the tomb raiding business. It was easy to get theseantiques, so they didn't know that this blue and white porcelain, including Forrest. Otherwise, hewould not have given it to Tom. It was 25 million!
"I AM BEING RICH, hahaha..."
Elizabeth immediately laughed.
Cal said directly that he would pay 28 million dollars for this blue and white porcelain.
Of course, he said this to Tom. After all, this blue and white porcelain belonged to Tom.
Elizabeth was unhappy on the spot. She said, "Mr. Hall, you're mistaken. If you want to buy this blueand white porcelain, you should also ask me! Why do you ask Tom?"
Seeing that Tom didn’t say anything, Cal had no choice but to ask Elizabeth once again. Elizabethfloated on air. Twenty-eight million dollars. How heavy would it be if it was cash?
She was an expert in haggling. Seeing Cal bid 28 million so readily, she naturally knew that therewas still room to raise the price and directly said 30 million.
Cal hesitated for a moment and agreed.
James didn't want to sell it. He wanted to show off in his study. Unfortunately, he had no voice inthis family and was rejected by Elizabeth
Elizabeth was extremely excited and said, "Deal. Thirty million is fine. You can transfer it to my cardimmediately. This blue and white porcelain is yours!"
Cal said, "Thirty million is a little too much. I can't afford so much money at the moment. Give metwo days. I'll transfer it to you."
"Well, you have to hurry up, or I'll sell it to someone else!" Elizabeth said proudly with blue andwhite porcelain in his arms.
"Okay!" Cal nodded.
Elizabeth held the blue and white porcelain in her arms and was extremely excited. It was as if shewas holding her own treasure. Without asking Tom's opinion, she took it directly.
However, at this moment, she suddenly had an itch under her armpit. She subconsciously reachedout to scratch it, but unexpectedly, she was still holding blue and white porcelain in her hand. Witha bang, she threw it directly on the ground and it was broken.
