Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 222

Upon hearing Cara assert so definitively that the jewel was a fake, Ashley turned to look at her. Ashley turned to look at her.

Meeting Cara’s smile, Ashley also smiled faintly, “Is that so? I think it’s genuine.”

Cara continued to smile gently, “Ashley, this jewel really is a fake.”

Bryce and Haton exchanged glances and wondered, ‘Cara sounds so certain. Does she have solid proof?”

The online viewers of the livestream, seeing the disagreement between the two, almost unanimously sided with Cara without a second thought.

[Although I don’t understand much about this, I’m following Cara’s lead!]

[Cara hasn’t been wrong since the start. If she says the jewel is fake, then it’s almost certainly fake. Why is Ashley stubbornly insisting it’s real?]

[See? Once Ashley stops copying Cara’s answers, she knows nothing!]

At this point, the show’s host glanced at the card in hand, which indicated the jewel’s authenticity, verified by professionals arranged by the show.

After reading the experts’ verdict and hearing the differing responses from Ashley and Cara, the host looked at Ashley in utter astonishment. The host glanced at Ashley in great surprise.

The host thought in disbelief, ‘The experts’ evaluation matches Ashl claim! The jewel is authentic! Ashley…has got it right this time? Did s just guess correctly?’

The

host’s first instinct was that Ashley had guessed, then turned to Car lifting the microphone to ask, “Cara, how did you determine this jewel is a fake?”

Looking at Ashley and speaking slowly as if teaching a student, Cara explained to Ashley, “In ancient times, subjects had to avoid using the king’s name. However, this jewel has ‘CL’ engraved in the upper right corner. If it belonged to Jean Schlumberger, his king at the time was Charles Lancaster the Third. To avoid using the king’s name, Jean would never have carved ‘CL’ on it.”

After a pause, Cara added, “A jewel with the king’s name is undoubtedly a fake.”

As she explained, the show’s camera zoomed in on the jewel, clearly showing the engraved “CL” in the upper right corner for the livestream audience to see.

After hearing Cara’s explanation, the host turned to Charlie and asked, “Mr. Ramos, what do you think?”

Charlie, usually calm and collected, showed evident admiration. “Indeed, Cara is right. A jewel with the king’s name must be a fake.”
