The bald man couldn’t resist taking in a breath of cold air. He kept shaking his head. “How can this be? This is our family’s heirloom. You’re lying to me.”
“I didn’t lie to you…” Xavier York said.
The bald man looked thoroughly dumbfounded. “You… You should go up there and take a closer look… You haven’t taken a closer look. You really shouldn’t pass judgment so casually… ”
The bald man was feeling a great sense of remorse.
If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen to keep his mouth shut!
In that case, he would’ve still made a handsome profit!
Now, it had all gone down the drain.
The bald man had practically picked up a rock and dropped it on his feet.
Soon, the entire hall was filled with chatter.
“This is embarrassing… It turns out that Xyla was right…”
“I can’t believe that those of us who have been in the antique industry for decades lost to a young girl…”
“Thank goodness I didn’t bid for it… Otherwise, I would’ve lost a lot of money!”
When Xyla Quest heard what everyone said, she briefly looked at each of them without letting her gaze linger…
These were all familiar faces to her.
Earlier, these were the people who mocked her the loudest.
Xavier didn’t say anything. Instead, he slowly walked onto the stage…
When the bald man saw this, he also followed Xavier onto the stage.
“Please help by taking this out…” Xavier looked at the beautiful auctioneer and waved his hand.
The beautiful auctioneer instantly stepped forward with a smile and carefully retrieved the object. She then placed it in Xavier’s hands.
Xavier pointed at the edge of the encrustation mark. “Here… This edge looks very unnatural. If it’s been around for two hundred years, the natural process of encrustation would have left its trace… The tainted edge should look very natural…
“Take a closer look…” Xavier pointed at the edge of the encrustation mark and said.
He felt extremely remorseful on the inside!
Not only did he think that he could prove himself right, but he’d also be able to humiliate Xyla and make her pay for it…
However, to his surprise, he was the one who ended up being humiliated. He was also the one who had to pay up.
If he hadn’t spoken up, and this object’s auction proceeded, he’d at least be able to sell it for a high price of several million dollars.
Now, several million dollars had gone down the drain for him.
Wasn’t this a complete and utter loss?
Moreover, the most embarrassing part was that he even said he’d do a handstand here if this antique were fake!
He also had to give Xyla 100 million dollars!
Where would he find 100 million dollars to give to her?
The bald man truly felt that he was a fool…
