The Vengeful Son-in-law
Chapter 102

Tom smiled. He did not panic at all and spoke calmly.

"I have to say, this fake is really well made. The material, texture, cracks all look quite similar to the real one. It's really hard to tell the difference unless you are a professional. I believe that's what you count on. You are sure that my father-in-law and mother-in-law can not tell the difference, so you sent it confidently.” Tom said with a smile. His words were full of confidence and his usual cowardice was nowhere to be seen, which made James and Elizabeth dazed and felt that Tom was not the one they had been familiar with.

Tom continued to speak. He began to talk about the blue and white porcelain, using various technical terms. At this moment, he seemed to be a professional antique expert, and his words seemed very trustworthy.

As he continued, James gradually became awkward. Although he was not an antique expert, he also knew some common sense about blue and white porcelain antiques. Naturally, he could tell that Tom was not lying.

"So, I dare to assert that this so-called blue and white porcelain made in Ming Dynasty is a fake!" Tom finally said loudly.

Elizabeth's face turned pale in an instant. "Really? Is it really a fake!"

Her heart ached so much that her face stiffened.

Phoebe was also stunned. She looked at Tom in astonishment and wondered when did Tom manage to identify antiques.

Rory looked extremely awkward because what Tom said was the weakness of his fake blue and white porcelain!

But soon, he smiled and was glad that he had a plan B. He had expected that this trash, Tom, would jump out and cause trouble, so he arranged for an antique expert to pretend to bump into him!

He winked at the bodyguard. The bodyguard understood and sent the message he had edited in advance. Not long after, three men in their thirties passed by the door. One of them looked into the box and saw the blue and white porcelain on the dining table, pretending to be quite shocked, "Oh my God! Is it real? This must be the best antique blue and white porcelain!"

His words attracted everyone in the room.

Then he walked in quickly. First, he exchanged a quick look with Rory. Then, he said excitedly, "Good stuff, good stuff Who owns this blue and white porcelain?”

When he said this, his voice trembled, and it was clear that he was very excited, which made people realize that this blue and white porcelain must be real!

James and Elizabeth exchanged a look, and their desperate faces regained luster.

"And you are?" James asked.

The man immediately straightened up, coughed softly, and said, "I'm Benicio from the QK Antique.” When James heard this, he immediately stood in awe and exclaimed, "What? Are you Mr. Bennett?" Benicio smiled smugly and said, "You have heard of me?"

James said flatteringly, "Yes! Of course, I do! Anyone who is in the antique business in H City must have known Mr. Bennett."

Indeed, James didn't know much about antiques, but he knew a lot about the famous people in this circle. As for Benicio, he was famous in the antique circle and had identified many antiques. For someone like James who loved collecting antiques, Benicio was undoubtedly a star. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The reason why Benicio was so famous was not only because of his own ability but also because of his master. Across the whole H Country, he would still be the best of the best, namely Mr. Hall, Cal! When Benicio heard James's flattery, he was even more proud. Unconsciously, he put on some more airs. He smiled at James and said, "I'm flattered. Fame is nothing, just like a floating cloud in the sky."

"How hilarious!" Tom couldn't hold back his laughter. This Benicio was an excellent actor. He was just too superficial and too unorthodox. For starters, he and Rory would act together and deliberately deceive people. It could be seen that this Benicio was fishing for fame, and Tom naturally would not have any respect for such kind of people.

However, when Benicio heard his snicker, he was very unhappy and asked, "What are you laughing at?”

Tom shook his head and said, "Nothing."

James immediately kicked Tom and said to Benicio, "Mr. Bennett, please don't be angry. Did you just say that this blue and white porcelain is an antique?”

"That's right.” Benicio responded, "Mr. Scott, this blue and white porcelain is an antique from the Ming Dynasty! Judging by its material, color, completeness, it must be highly valuable! Mr. Scott, I wonder if you are willing to part with this treasure and transfer this blue and white porcelain to me?"

When James heard this, he took a deep breath, and his despair was gone completely!

Was this really Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain?

Elizabeth couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Bennett, are you sure? Just as my son-in-law said, this is a fake. It's only worth tens of thousands.”

Benicio was so angry that he lengthened his voice, "Nonsense! This is an absolute Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain. Who is your son-in-law? He actually said it was a fake? Isn't this a joke! Forgive me for being rude. Which one is your son-in-law? I want to hear how he recognize it as a fake!"

His words were loud, full of anger and authority.

Elizabeth was not angry. Instead, she smiled happily. That was great. This meant it was real and very valuable!

"Tom, you ignorant trash, you almost fooled me over. Apologize to Rory now!" Elizabeth slapped the back of Tom's head and scolded angrily.

Rory said with a cold face, "No need to apologize so soon, Tom. What you just said was quite a speech. You insist that this is fake. It doesn't matter if you insult my reputation, but you have questioned my respect for my uncle and aunt, and my loyalty to Phoebe! I can't put up with this Today, you'd better give me a good explanation in this matter. Otherwise, I'll sue you!"

Looking at him like this, Tom could not help but sigh in his heart. Rory was really a good actor. He acted so well that it was a pity for him not to work in the entertainment industry.

James and Elizabeth were immediately influenced by him, and their accusations against Tom were even more excessive. They almost pressed Tom's head down and made him kowtow to Rory to apologize.

Phoebe looked at Tom with hope in her eyes.

Even if what Tom said just now was right, he was still a nobody in the antique business. However, Benicio was a serious antique expert, with a good reputation and authority. It was easy for them to decide who was more convincing.

In this regard, Tom frowned, and he was a little anxious. The current situation was not good for him. Fortunately, at this moment, a group of people passed by the door and heard Benicio's voice. They looked into the box and asked, "Ah Benicio, it's you? When did you come back to H City? Why didn't you tell me?"

When Benicio heard this voice, he immediately shuddered. He looked back automatically and called out respectfully, "Master!"

Tom and the others looked towards the door and immediately saw an old man in his sixties standing at the door.

When James saw this old man, he was shocked and his pupils shrank. Then he showed an excited and adoring expression and blurted out, "Are you Mr. Hall?!"
