134 Counterfeit Antiques

Celeste glanced at Leo as if implying something. In fact, the Campbell family’s matter had something to do with the two of them. They had always been using the real treasures in the Campbell family’s collection to replicate them. Moreover, the replicated treasures were almost so real that they were undoubtedly created by Leo.

There was a rule in this line of work: Ancient items could be imitated but not be exactly the same. The more ancient an item was, the more it couldn’t be imitated. Therefore, Leo would also follow the rules.

Everyone watched as Sharon heated the jade with fire and polished off a layer of gray crystal on the vase. She then sprayed alcohol on the cloth before carefully wiping the glass vase clean.

Initially, everyone was amazed at the simplicity and value of this thing. They didn’t expect it to completely change now.

Louis and May gasped. What is going on?

Zachary stared at Fred with a dark expression. “Didn’t you say that this thing must be real? Why is it like this now?”

Fred’s forehead twitched. Perhaps it was because too many things had happened recently, but he didn’t know what to do and hence misjudged the situation.

“Not only that, but this vase was also deliberately made. As long as we take a closer look, we will realize that although the manufacturing technology of this vase is very advanced, it follows the rules of cultural relic manufacturing very well.” Sharon remembered that Watson had done the same thing when he repaired the bowl that day-he deliberately smoothed the symmetrical part of the bowl.

“How is that possible? I remember that Celeste is an expert in antiques. She has handled many good items!”

“Forget it! What would a woman know? I think she was deceived too.”

“But why did I hear that she bought this treasure at the Campbell family’s Lazarus Trading Company? It also cost a lot of money back then.”

“Could it be because of that matter... I heard that there was a problem at May’s house recently. Many things that were bought became counterfeits, and the real goods flowed into the underground market!”

May’s ears were very sharp. When she heard this, she immediately sneered. “Do you not have anything else to say? What has the Campbell family got to do with you? When did it become your turn to interrupt?”

Although they were all telling the truth, May was unwilling to accept this. In her eyes, this was merely a coincidence. How could our family do such a thing?

“I think May should know what’s going on. There shouldn’t be many people who can come into contact with antiques like the Campbell family. Why did Celeste just happen to buy counterfeit goods?” Sharon glanced at Leo as she spoke. This man has been wearing gloves since he entered, and judging by May’s attitude toward him, it is obvious that this person’s status is very special.

Louis instantly knew what was going on. He said angrily to Sharon, “You b*tch! What nonsense are you talking about here? You have to know that this is New York. If you speak nonsense, we’ll chase you out immediately. This is a treasure our guest brought over. How can it be fake?”

“That’s right! This vase was indeed sold by our family. As everyone knows, it’s impossible for our family to have a fake.” May also fiercely glared at Sharon, feeling that she was lying.

“Do you think it’s okay if you don’t say anything? This place is New York, not Michigan, where you can do whatever you want. You might end up dying here. If you dare to lie, you have to be prepared. If you’re exposed, you’ll end up in a very miserable state.” Sharon’s tone was consoling. She had noticed Celeste and Leo’s eye contact more than once.

Paul seemed to understand something. Sharon had defeated the other party psychologically, so he said with a straight face, “Our family is a famous one in New York, so it’s a little too much to be fooled by these people. Moreover, this time... Fred, I didn’t expect you to be wrong. Everyone was deceived this time. If you didn’t teach us a lesson, there would be a lot of people chasing after you because of your reputation.”

Celeste was shocked by this sentence. Why would the Brown family speak up for Sharon? Given the Brown family’s status in the antique world... If I really anger them, it will be hard for me to leave New York.

Celeste spoke with a trembling voice, looking at Paul and Fred nervously. “This, this... Don’t look at me; I don’t know anything. Don’t go overboard. I’m just a businesswoman, so it’s impossible for me to fake it.”
