My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Chapter 128

Sharon glanced at Madeline, not anticipating the latter to look as calm as ever. Where'd she get that confidence she mused before smiling. "You've come to the right place today, Mr. Perry. There appears to be a valuable sapphire here..." "Really?" Dillon serined curious. "But there's only one quite preeminent recently. Don't tell me there's another one?"

"The one and only-the Heart of Snow, was Sharon's revelation.

That colored Dillon surprised. The Heart of Snow" had been auctioned for 16 million dollars, and the bid was won by a mysterious big shot because, at that time, other tycoons showed reverence by not counter-bidding. From Dillon's perspective, "the Heart of Snow" could not possibly be in a place like where he was. He let out a gasp. "Is it really the Heart of Snow?"

"Maybe not, I guess, but I'm not sure. That's where you come in" Sharon glanced at Gavin and added, "After all, we all know how valuable the Heart of Snow' is. The chance of it appearing in Acocester is next to zero."

Her speech came to a momentary hiatus before she continued, "I don't mean to doubt this lad, but it's necessary to assume the worst, sometimes. We could even prevent somebody else from getting corned"

Dillon smiled, having gotten the hang of scenes like that, thus regaining composure at once. There must've been a disagreement over the authenticity of the gemstone, he mused.

However, Dillon had a prejudice that it was impossible for the Heart of Snow" to be there, so he was not that interested in appraising it. It would be a different story, though, if he were to appraise other gems,

Dillon shook his head and smiled helplessly. "Let's have a look, then. The Heart of Snow is pure and free from impurities. It's not difficult to tell. I once saw it right before my eyes, so I remember what it looked like. Rest assured. I won't make a mistake.

He had a habit of washing his hands before an appraisal. Hence, Charles got somebody to prepare hot water, clean towels, and sandalwood. Dillon washed and dried his hands before placing them over the sandalwood. Not until was he in tranquility did he begin appraising.

Interest piqued, Gavin whispered words to Madeline repeatedly, not bothered by the fact that his gem was about to be appraised as if things had nothing to do with him. He was calm because he reckoned the appraisal was redundant.

"Tsk. I sold you so, Maddie. Watching clowns making a fool of themselves is fun. No kidding, right?" mocked Gavin
