Chapter 203

Bob knew about Philip’s relationship with Russell, and he knew that they were not that close. Naturally, his impression of Philip

went back to how it was before. Philip and Russell just happened to know each other at a gallery.

That piece of trash was not worth mentioning at all. It was not just Bob waiting for Russell’s appraisal, the rest of the group was

also anticipating the result. Russell did not decline. He opened the box, and at the first glance, he was attracted by the jade

ornamental thumb ring. This… This jade ornamental thumb ring was definitely made from jade of the highest grade!

Judging from the craftsmanship and the level of polishing, this ring was not made recently but from the pre-Qing dynasty. Russell

took out his magnifying glass from his pocket and started looking at it up close. With this gesture, everyone in the hall was being

kept in surprise. What was going on? Was Philip’s jade ornamental thumb ring a genuine piece of antique?

Eric felt his heart sink. However, he got rid of this thought. It was just a piece of jade. How could it

possibly be an antique? “How is it, Mr. Field?

Do you see anything?” Bob asked with a grin. He was super nervous. He had not felt this way for so

many years. He did not know why he was so nervous for no reason. Bob could even predict what

Russell would say next.

Judging from Russell’s expression, Bob could tell this ornamental thumb ring was not made from any

normal jade. “This… This is a jade ornamental thumb ring from the Qing dynasty! It might even belong

to Emperor Qianlong!” Russel said excitedly all of a sudden. He was emotional. He even started to

breathe heavily. If it belonged to Emperor Qianlong, it must be extremely valuable! He had not seen

anything like that for so many years!

Russell remembered that he had bid for a piece of calligraphy that once belonged to Emperor Qianlong

in Capital City. It was sold at 30 million bucks. The value of this jade ornamental thumb ring was

definitely more than 30 million bucks. It must be a valuable treasure! “Qing Dynasty…

Emperor Qianlong?” Bob was stunned. His eyes were wide as he stared at the jade ornamental thumb

ring in Russell’s hand. In an instant, everyone in the hall was beyond shocked. Even the ones who did

not know anything about antiques like Martha knew that it was something extremely valuable when she

heard it once belonged to Emperor Qianlong from the Qing Dynasty. Eric’s face fell. Did that useless

bum really give the old master something valuable? Where did he get the money? “Charlie, is that thing

valuable?” Martha poked Charles and asked. If this was back then, Martha would do anything to take

back that thumb ring. Philip was such a spendthrift. There were so many things in the world to give and

yet he gave something that once belonged to Emperor Qianlong. Charles’ face was red.

He wanted so badly to pounce over and take a look. He said excitedly,

“Valuable! It’s extremely valuable! Two years ago, a piece of calligraphy from Emperor Qianlong was sold for 30 million bucks.”

“What? 30

million?” Martha yelled out from excitement. In an instant, everyone’s attention was on Martha. She covered her mouth and

smiled awkwardly.

However, Martha was hurling abuses at Philip in her heart. What a damn piece of trash! What a spendthrift! 30 million! However,

in the next second, Russell shook his head and said, “Old Master Yates, I think this ring costs more than 30 million bucks.” More

than 30 million? This news was making waves in the room. Bob was breathing heavily. His face was red as he stared at that

thumb ring. He smiled in satisfaction and said, “Why don’t you give us an estimate for this, Mr. Field?” After pondering for a while,

Russell lifted a finger and said solemnly, “At least 100 million.” 100 million? Thud!

When Martha heard that, she passed out on the spot. She fell backward and landed on the floor. Thankfully, Charles was agile

enough. He helped Martha to one side quickly. He pressed down on her philtrum and fed her water before she regained

consciousness. Martha was limp all over. Her hands were trembling uncontrollably as she murmured resentfully, “Philip, oh,

Philip, you spendthrift! Where did you get that thumb ring? It’s worth 100 million and you just gave it out like that.” Martha was

seething. She stared at the ring and wanted so badly to swallow it. If Philip had not given it to her father, it would have been hers!

100 million! My gosh! No way, she had to get it back!
