Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 839. Why bother taking on this trouble?

Chapter 839: 839. Why bother taking on this trouble?

Everyone looked at George Parker’s expression, then at Sophia Green’s fearlessness of the ignorant, and shook their heads with indescribable feelings in their hearts.

At this moment, Master Clark, who had been cold and silent, spoke up again.

"In that case, let’s get an appraisal expert," he said.

With that, Master Clark turned to Professor Grant, who had been silent all this time, and said:

"Old Brown, you’ve been studying these antiques, so take a look at the inkstone and see whether it’s real or fake."

The Old Master waved his hand tiredly. A perfectly good birthday banquet had been turned upside down by this family’s antics, truly vexing.

Professor Grant, due to his advanced age and not-so-good eyesight, and not one to maliciously speculate on a young girl’s intentions, had not suspected the authenticity of the broken inkstone.

Seeing it broken, he felt a deep sense of regret in his heart.

But now, hearing what George Parker had said, the possibility that the inkstone Sophia Green purchased was a fake became very likely.

He didn’t want to speculate that the girl intentionally bought a fake antique inkstone to satisfy her vanity, but rather guessed she had been cheated.

Now he just wanted to determine the authenticity of the inkstone. If it was fake, then it wouldn’t be so painful to see it broken.

Professor Grant nodded and was about to ask someone to bring a magnifying glass when he heard Sophia Green say:

"Grandfather Clark, it’s not that I don’t trust Professor Grant’s abilities, but this is your birthday banquet, and Mrs. Jones is your granddaughter. Please forgive my bluntness, but I don’t believe Professor Grant will be impartial."

"You..."

Now the Old Master felt even worse. It wasn’t enough to have disrupted his birthday banquet; now they were challenging the character of his old friend and himself.

"Ha! If that’s the case, then you find someone yourself," he said.

Professor Grant, who was suspected of being partial, also had fire in his belly.

After finishing his words, he turned to Cam Green with a serious expression and said, "Sanders, this is your daughter. Since she doesn’t trust this old man, you go find her an appraisal expert. If she trusts the one you find, she should be at ease, right?"

At this moment, Cam Green was also angered by his daughter’s disregard for the occasion and lack of respect in her words.

Even though what his daughter said was true, her direct confrontation with two respected elders, one of whom was the head of the Clark Family, was very improper.

Seeing the displeasure on Professor Grant’s face, Cam Green smiled appeasingly and said:

"Professor Grant, what are you talking about? Please do the appraisal."

Professor Grant waved his hand and still refused.

On one hand, although Cam Green gave him face by asking him to do the appraisal, his expression and tone clearly showed that, like his daughter, he didn’t really want him to.

After all, this was Old Adams’s birthday banquet, and they definitely felt he would favor Old Adams’s granddaughter and falsely declare a real piece as fake.

On the other hand, he saw that this young lady of the Green Clan behaved too frivolously, and the way the inkstone was broken was already quite suspicious.

Besides, someone as proud and wealthy as George Parker, why would he sell fake items and taint his own reputation?

Therefore, the possibility that Sophia Green’s inkstone was a fake was high, but if the statement came from him, Cam Green, Sophia Green, and others in the room who thought like Cam Green, would not be convinced by his judgment.

With that in mind, why would he want to trouble himself with this issue?

Seeing that Professor Grant was insistent, Cam Green quickly and very sensibly took advantage of the situation to back down, fearing that Professor Grant might change his mind.
