Chapter - 239

Lacey gave a slight tug on Zeke’s shirt. “Zeke, there’s no need to identify these pieces of jewellery. I’m happy as long as they’re gifts from you.”

Zeke curled his lips into a smile and said, “Lacey, I’m telling you, they’re real. I can’t let it slide if someone mistakes the authentic jewellery I gave you for fake jewellery. Appraiser, are you sure you’re not going to assess the jewellery?”

The jewellery appraiser grew impatient. “I just appraised that necklace! It’s made out of placer gold! I’m going to call security if you refuse to leave.”

Zeke frowned and picked the necklace out. “You mean this?’

“That’s right.”

“I’m sorry, but this isn’t mine.”

“I remember now!” Emily exclaimed. “I bought that myself! This is probably the most expensive thing in there. The others are fakes nobody wants.”

“Are you sure about that?” Zeke asked the appraiser.

“Seriously! Give it a rest!” the appraiser scolded. “Fine! I’ll appraise them for you!”

The appraiser then randomly grabbed a piece and took a glance at it. He then threw it back on the table. “It’s a fake product!”

Emily let out a loud laugh.

“I really hope you get to keep your job,” Zeke smiled and pulled his phone out.

After the call got through, Zeke scolded, “Tasha? Your appraiser just told me the Emperor’s Heart pendant you gave me is fake… Yeah, I’m at the Oakheart store right now.”

Zeke then hung up on the call. The appraiser and the sale representatives looked at each other before bursting out in laughter.

“Wait! Are you serious? Did you just call our boss, Ms. Hensen?”

“A beggar like you? This is a humiliation to her!”

“The Emperor’s Heart? There are only ten of them out there, and they all belong to royalty!”

“Only an idiot would believe you have the real thing.”

Even Emily joined them. “A down-and-out like you having the Emperor’s Heart? What a joke!”

“This guy here really think of us as idiots!”

“If this is the real Emperor’s Heart, I’ll swallow it!”

“We’ll see about that.” Zeke returned a smile.

A few minutes had passed after the phone call when sudden footsteps could be heard by everyone running down the stairs accompanied by an elegantly-dressed young woman.

That woman was the manager of the store, Veronica Bennett.

“Ms. Bennett,” greeted the appraiser and sale representatives.

Veronica walked straight up to the appraiser and slapped him without any warning. “You useless thing! How dare you insult Ms. Hensen’s friend? She just called and scolded me!”

Everyone was shocked by what they had just heard. The manager claimed that the appraiser had just insulted the friend of the Royal Jewelry’s owner.

The only one who just got insulted was the normal-looking young man, which also meant that he had really just called Tasha Hensen.

“What’s going on here, Ms. Bennett,” the appraiser asked in a low voice. “Which one is Ms. Hensen’s friend?”

Veronica shot him an angry stare. “I’ll deal with you later.”

The manager then turned around and laid her eyes on Zeke and his companions. “I’m sorry, but which one of you is Mr. Williams?”

“That would be me.” Zeke raised his hand.
