Chapter 119

The next day, Thomas Dunn himself came to pick Nathan up. He went along with him to meet Harvey Babcock and to discuss the amount of compensation.

But before Nathan and Thomas reached the auction house, they received a call from Colin.

Colin reported, “Sir, the experts left out some details last night. Even though the porcelain shard itself is authentic, they also detected signs of polishing.”

“What does that mean?” frowned Nathan.

“It means that the porcelain vase was already broken even before excavation, and not smashed recently,” explained Colin.

“So what you’re saying is, someone found a piece of broken porcelain, polished its edges, then mixed it in with other fake shards to con my father-in-law?”

“Yes, sir. It appears that Mr. Smith is the target of a scam,” confirmed Colin.

Nathan narrowed his eyes, “Alright. I understand.”

Nathan hung up the call and uttered coldly, “Bloody low lives! How dare they try to con my father-in-law?”
