The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 278 Brittany's Plan

"Emily, what are you implying? Your husband is a big boss, handling major city projects? What are you talking about? Don’t think I don’t know he’s just a small team leader with a bit of clout at City Hall who’s got a contract to patch up a public restroom wall," Brittany retorted.

Being from the same city, how could Brittany be unaware of Emily's real situation?

Once the truth was out, Emily was, of course, livid. "So what if he repairs public restrooms? Public restroom projects are also significant works, costing millions to build. A single restroom remodeling contract can earn him tens of millions. Yes, my husband repairs public restrooms, correct. But he's capable of presenting a grandpa with a centuries-old vase worth a million dollars as a birthday gift! And what about your boyfriend? What does he do? Is he in the business of selling fake liquor? Otherwise, why would he bring two bottles of fake liquor as a birthday gift?"

Brittany knew Daniel's bottles weren't valuable, but she was also certain that Mason's vase was a fake.

So, she decided to use Daniel to expose Mason's pretense. Pointing at the vase, she asked, "Country boy, this is a vase from five hundred years ago, supposedly used by Chinese emperors, and valued at one million dollars?"

"If that's true and each piece is indeed a million dollars, I'll take however many you have without haggling. Even if it's not an emperor's personal item, any offical Chinese vase from five hundred years ago would be worth at least five million each. If it was used by a Chinese emperor, it would be
