Chapter 251: The Diamond Was Stolen
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“She actually said that she had been there. What a joke!”
There was shrill ridicule from all around.
“Bulls.h.i.+t, how could you say such a stupid thing?” Joe’s mother snorted coldly and said arrogantly, “If you are willing to apologize, I can forgive you.”
Claire gave a lazy smile and her voice was a bit unruly. “I said nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?”
Finally unable to bear it, Ada stood up and scolded her angrily. “Claire! I know that you know nothing about diamonds. Come on, apologize to Mrs. Haber!”
Claire ignored her, took out her cell phone from her pocket, and dialed a number.
No one knew what she was doing, only to see that she walked to the corner and said something. Then, she walked towards the gla.s.s cabinet, and raised her cell phone towards everyone.
“This is a 3D dynamic picture of that Cullinan Diamond. You can compare it yourself.”
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around.
Claire put the phone close to the diamond and tapped the picture on the screen with her slender finger. “Here, it’s different.”
Everyone narrowed their eyes, stared carefully, and observed the image and the diamond back and forth.
Suddenly, as if discovering something, everyone stared at the diamond with their eyes wide open.
“Yes! Here… it’s different here!”
Cullinan Diamond was best known for its delicate cracks, which gave it a sense of fragility.
The people who made this fake diamond had tried their best to copy the real diamond, but there was still a part that they missed.
That tiny crack was only five millimeters long, and when it extended downward, it had a slight curvature, while the fake diamond was completely vertical without any curvature.
If one didn’t observe it carefully, he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two.
Everyone looked at Claire incredulously.
“How could she see the difference at such a long distance?”
“Her eyes are too sharp!”
“Has she really been to the Moon Museum? How could it be possible…”
Joe’s mother suddenly rushed over, pointed at Claire, and roared. “There is no photo of the Cullinan Diamond on the Internet. Where did you get this photo from? You must have forged it, right?!”
Claire glanced at her coldly. “The photo was sent by the curator of the Moon Museum.”
Joe’s mother laughed. “Nonsense! How can you know the curator?”
“Stop arguing. The most important thing now is to figure out whether this diamond is true or not. I know a jewelry appraiser. Let me ask him to come and appraise it?” a lady suggested in the crowd.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Soon, the jewelry appraiser came over.
He took out the diamond carefully. He observed and measured it with various tools.
After examining for half an hour, he finally came to a conclusion.
“This diamond is indeed a fake. The crack pattern is different, and the material is not diamond.”
His words were exactly the same as Claire’s.
This time, everyone cast doubtful glances at Joe’s mother.
“Is she trying to trick us with a fake diamond?”
“Oh my G.o.d, this is a charity auction. How can she donate a fake?!”
“I didn’t know she’s this kind of a person!”
Joe’s mother’s face was pale, her legs were soft, and she staggered for two steps, shaking her head vigorously. “It’s impossible… it can’t be fake. I personally flew to the Shuo Kingdom and bought it from the Moon Museum. How could it be fake?!”
In the hubbub, Claire’s indifferent voice sounded.
“If you are sure that what you donated is a real diamond, then someone must have stolen it and put a fake one here.”
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a look of astonishment.
“Stolen?!” Joe’s mother looked at Claire with a look for help. “Who stole it? How did he steal it?!”
