Super Mommy and Her Triplets

Chapter 497

Thereafter, she turned to the crowd and declared at the top of her voice, “Bailey is trying to pass off a fake as the real thing. What she's doing is unacceptable! What agenda is she harboring by doing this? Who gave her the gall? Bailey, you had better not go too far.

“Don't assume you're allowed to behave with impunity in Hallsbay just because of your achievements. The emerald seal is an important heritage of Chanaea and symbolizes the people's pride. There's no way we'll allow you to tamper with it. Bailey, you're heading to prison today. Don't think you can escape your fate by showing up with a lousy rock.”

Meanwhile, Bailey reached into the box in front of the cameras to retrieve the red emerald and fiddle with it.

Thereafter, Raiden and the museum curator emerged from backstage.

Raising her brows at Raiden, Bailey spoke with an indiscernible smile. “Mr. Fletcher, I have found you the emerald you've been looking for. However, everyone present doesn't seem to believe that it's real. I'll let you decide how you want to deal with this.”

Turning to the museum curator, Raiden asked in a deep voice, “What do you think?”

“Um...” The curator hesitated. “Mr. Fletcher, given that the experts have declared the earlier emerald as genuine, I find it hard to believe that Ms. Jefferson's emerald is the real one.”

As the son of one of the nation's leaders and someone who wielded significant power, no one dared to fool around in his presence.

If it weren't for the red emerald, the curator wouldn't even be worthy of standing in his presence.

“Mr. Fletcher, why don't you tell us what we should do? I-I do not have the courage to make a decision, as the consequences are beyond my pay grade.”
