The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 279 Purchase from Auctiq

Brittany knew Emily was lying, and she felt compelled to expose and humiliate her. So she coldly said, "Emily, just because you say the vase is five hundred years old doesn't make it so. You'll need to provide evidence to convince anyone to buy that story. If you can't, then that vase is nothing but a fake, worth at most a hundred dollars. Using a cheap knockoff to impersonate a million-dollar antique as a gift... Emily, good for you. Deceiving your own family like this—I wonder if you have a conscience."

Brittany's words left Emily speechless. While Emily struggled to think of a response, Mason stepped forward with what he claimed was evidence.

"I've got proof, right here!" Mason presented a receipt, slapping it down on the table. "This vase was purchased from Auctiq. This is an invoice from them. As you know, Auctiq is the largest and most prestigious antique store in New York. Every antique there is a luxury item, top-grade, and worth a fortune. This vase may not be much compared to Auctiq's other items, but it's definitely a genuine antique."

"Auctiq? Are you talking about the Auctiq owned by Nicholas?" Brittany inquired.

"Of course! There's only one Auctiq in New York, and that's Nicholas's Auctiq!"

Mason was unaware that Brittany knew Nicholas, let alone that Daniel was Nicholas's master. Thus, he felt confident enough to lie so brazenly with a fake receipt in hand. After all, neither of them could contact Nicholas, nor could anyone present ethere reach someone of his stature. Hence, he thought the fake receipt would be enough to prove the vase's antiquity and value.

Brittany picked up the receipt and instantly recognized it as a counterfeit, mercilessly exposing Mason's lie.

Emily immediately flared up in anger. "On what basis do you say the receipt is fake? It's issued by Nicholas himself; how could it be fake? You do know that Auctiq is the biggest antique store in New York. Could they really issue a fake receipt? What kind of joke is this?"
