Chapter 253
Joseph winced, dropping that fake small bronze statue and making a beeline for the exit, desperate to scrub and disinfect his hands.
The appraisers nearby didn’t bat an eye since they’ve handled such things before.
“Yeah, I’ve heard my master spill the beans before. Burying fake bronze statues in an outhouse pit is a tricky way to fake authenticity.”
“Look, the rust on these two bronze statues is suspicious. None of it’s natural. They’re definitely knockoffs!”
“I mentioned earlier. The engravings could be bogus too. I’m on the same page. Ms. Ramos. I also think these small bronze statues are phony.”
The skeptical young appraiser shot Ashley a stare, staying mum with heavy breaths and turning red-faced.
Noah turned to Tobby who was baffled, saying, “The bronze statues you’ve got are fake. We can’t put them up for sale.”
Tobby, gritting his teeth, argued, “How could they be fake?”
But StarGavel Auctions was the go-to, the real deal in the auction house game. That was why Tobby came here.
Noah grinned, subtly probing. “If you’re not buying it, get someone else to take a look. Also, where’d you snag the bronze statues?”
Tobby avoided the question, growling in frustration, “Hold on. I’ve got another bronze statue here. I’ll bring it over for you to check out.”
Ashley, a bit surprised, thought, ‘Another one?’
After that announcement, Tobby dashed out.
Noah looked at Ashley, respectfully asking, “Mind waiting a bit, Ms. Ramos?”
Ashley replied, “Sure.”
After about half an hour, Joseph finally came back after washing his hands. Each hand was disinfected at least a hundred times, judging by the
red skin.
“Ashley…” Joseph said, eyes moist. ‘Oh, I am grimy. My hands are not
