From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor ( Yves Jimmy) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Hearing Corrie’s words, everyone fell silent.

Even Flora’s expression froze.

Leonard was an unemployed young man who had just been released from prison. How could he afford an emerald bracelet worth more than ten thousand dollars?

Then there was another possibility: it was a fake bracelet made of resin or gla**.

Corrie sneered and said weirdly, “Leonard, don’t blame me for talking too much. I just have doubts.”

Kenia gave Leonard an angry look.

She thought Leonard could send Flora something cheaper if he couldn’t afford emeralds. She couldn’t tolerate him deceiving them with a fake one.

Willie even snorted coldly.

He already thought Leonard had a moral problem, and now he even looked down on Leonard.

Only Flora felt sorry for Leonard. So what if he bought a fake one? It was a token of his blessing.

She knew Leonard couldn’t afford a real emerald bracelet. It was his thoughts that counted.

Seeing Leonard being ridiculed by so many people, Flora felt uncomfortable.

She blamed herself for insisting on inviting Leonard to her birthday even though she knew he was poor. She regretted not giving him some money.

Only Wilder thought the emerald gifted by Leonard was real.

After all, based on what Leonard had done at the Clouds Club, it was normal for him to give a real emerald.

But he wished Leonard would be embarra**ed and misunderstood. He would not rescue Leonard.

However, Leonard, the person involved, said evenly with a calm look, “Of course, it’s real. How could I give my aunt something fake? It’s a translucent emerald bracelet. I specially selected it for Aunt for her birthday.”

Everyone showed different expressions at his words.

Willie said with a cold face, “Stop trying to deny it. Just admit it if you make a mistake. It’s forgivable. But you’re so stubborn. That’s totally inappropriate.”

With these words, Willie picked up the two bracelets on the table.

“Look at Corrie’s bracelet. It’s full of floc. This is what a real emerald should look like.

“Although I’m no expert on emeralds, I have common sense.

“But look at your bracelet. It’s so transparent. It’s obviously gla**. What else do you have to say?

“It’s okay to be poor, but you can’t lie. You have to be upright.” He scolded.

“Yeah, Leonard. You can tell me if you can’t afford a gift. I can lend you some money. How could you lie?” Wilder fanned the flame.

Kenia turned her head aside, obviously extremely disappointed in Leonard.

But Leonard looked at Willie calmly and said, “There are only two possibilities for the lack of structured floccule in the emerald. One is that it’s made of gla**, and the other is that it’s of extremely high quality.

“Uncle, how can you conclude that it is fake? What if it has better quality than Corrie’s?”

“You are really stubborn!”

Willie was furious.

“Forget it. If you say it’s emerald, let’s say it is. Anyway, I won’t let Flora wear it. What if there are some chemicals in it that are harmful to the body?”

Willie sat down with an angry face.

Corrie picked up her bracelet carefully.

“This bracelet costs me four thousand dollars. Flora, you can wear it in a while.”

Jarrett got the better of Willie in business, so Willie didn’t care to put on any airs. He forced a smile and said, “Of course, you’re welcome. It’s all because of Flora’s nephew.”

At this time, Corrie couldn’t wait to hold Jarrett’s hand.

“Jarrett, you came just in time. Come on and tell everyone if it’s a real emerald bracelet.”

She picked up Leonard’s bracelet and showed it to Jarrett.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but cast a glance at Leonard with a complacent look.

“Kiddo, aren’t you stubborn? Just wait and see how embarra**ed you will be,” Corrie thought excitedly.

Willie nodded and said, “Yeah, Jarrett. Come on and check it out.”

“Okay.”

Jarrett nodded with a smile, a little eager to try.

He liked emeralds and gemstones and had learned about them from experts. So, he was almost a professional.

Now that he had the opportunity to show himself, he was glad.

“Let me see.”

As Jarrett said, he took the bracelet.

When he held the bracelet up to the sunlight, his expression gradually became serious.
