Chapter 147 How could Catelyn possibly compensate for such expensive heels, though? All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Everyone held their breaths in anticipation. Lori extended her hand to Catelyn and said, “I’ve apologized. Seeing that you’re still junior to me, I won’t make this any more difficult than it is for you. Just write me a check worth a million.”

“A million?” Catelyn chuckled. “Missus Mason, your heels can’t be worth over three thousand, yet you’re trying to scam a million out of me? How could you even think of this?”

Very often than not, the most expensive parts of this type of shoe were the gem and diamonds on it, along with the brand and design. “Three thousand? You’re just saying this because you don’t want to pay me back, right? This pair of heels is worth one million! Go ask Louella if you don’t believe me.” Lori’s features twitched in rage as she pointed at Louella. The others turned their attention to Louella following the direction Lori was pointing at. Louella was not used to the attention, but she nonetheless maintained her smile as she stepped out. “Miss Clark, I bought this pair of heels that she’s wearing right now in an auction a few days back with one million and forty thousand.” She paused and took out her phone to find a photo she took. “Here’s the proof of purchase, and you can go check with the auction organizer. “You don’t have to stall, Catelyn. If you can’t afford it, I believe that Missus Mason won’t force you to compensate.” The confident smile on Catelyn’s face remained as she spoke, “Please take a closer look, Miss Atherton. Real, natural diamonds are formed under pressure, so it’s extremely rare that they’d end up with no flaw at all. There will be faint marks, and the color tends to be slightly yellowish, whereas fake diamonds are usually manufactured, hence their perfect shape, flawless and bright in color, but they’re not as hard as real diamonds and are more vulnerable to oxidation in comparison.”

She then pointed her slim finger at the heels Lori was wearing. The crowd gasped as they stared intently at Lori’s heels, desperately trying to see for themselves if there was any flaw in the diamonds. It would be hilarious if those turned out to be fake diamonds.

“…” Lori’s toes curled. She took two steps back subconsciously at how professional Catelyn sounded, but soon, she straightened her back once again. “As if! Louella got me these heels, so how could they be fake? It’s worth a million, and you’re just trying to get away from paying that much!”

Louella was the lady of the Atherton family, so how could she not know the difference between real and fake diamonds? Catelyn had not been in contact with the elite community for such a long time that she had to

be bluffing, and Lori was not about to believe her lies.

Catelyn did not yield to Lori’s stubbornness. “If you don’t believe me, you can call a professional jeweler to check right now. Let them take a look and see if those diamonds on your heels are real or fake ones.” Excluding the price of the diamonds, the heels themselves were worth a few hundred at best, and Catelyn felt that she was already generous enough to offer them 3000 dollars. Lori stood proudly, placing her hands on her hips, and said, “Very well, let’s call someone! You’re just a girl who used to be a lady of a now-bankrupt family, so why try to pretend like you’re a professional jeweler?” Lori turned and told Queenie to make the call, while Louella remained quiet. She did not know much about diamonds, but the diamonds on Lori’s heels seemed blindingly bright and not at all fake.

Lola’s face, however, slowly began to pale. She had studied jewelry design and was in charge of Chandier Jewelry. She did not inspect the shoes as they were meant for Lori, but with what Catelyn had said, she took a closer look and realized that something was off, but it was already too late.

“There’s no need,” the cold voice of a man echoed in the hall. Cedrick stepped out as he stared sharply at Lori before declaring majestically, “I happen to own a jewelry firm as well, and I’ve contacted the jewelry appraiser. He’ll inspect the diamonds right now.”
