Chapter 840: 840. Mysterious confidence

"Since Professor Grant is unwilling, I’ll just get a friend to help."

Cam Green was very good at passing the buck while maintaining a helpless facade.

What do you mean Professor Grant is unwilling to help? Clearly, it’s because your entire family doesn’t trust him, right?

Professor Grant and Master Clark frowned upon hearing what Cam Green said and remained silent, clearly annoyed.

In front of everyone, Cam Green called a friend who taught in the Archaeology Department of Capital University and was a renowned domestic expert in artifact appraisal.

After explaining the situation over the phone, the person on the other end didn’t refuse and accepted the task right then and there.

After hanging up, Cam Green looked towards Master Clark and Professor Grant, who seemed unsuspecting, feigned ignorance of their expressions, and offered a casual smile, saying,

"I’ve asked Jeny Chapman to come over. Please wait a bit, he’ll be here soon."

Jeny Chapman was the head of the Archaeology Department at Capital University, having been involved in several large-scale royal tomb archeological appraisals.

The antiques appraised and auctioned by him had never been misjudged.

Therefore, when people heard that Cam Green had invited Jeny Chapman to do the appraisal, no one was skeptical.

However, Elly Campbell, who had been firmly accused by Sophia Green of smashing her inkstone, merely smiled nonchalantly and said,

"Since Professor Chapman has been invited, then whatever result he comes up with, Miss Green won’t have any more objections, right?"

Sophia Green looked at Elly Campbell’s composed demeanor and then at George Parker’s face, visibly upset yet nonchalant, and began to feel a bit uneasy.

But at this point, if she were to go back on her word and refuse the authentication, wouldn’t that make her seem guilty?

Besides, she had acquired that inkstone from the black market. While it’s a place for shady deals, the likelihood of it being genuine was higher.

It’s precisely because it was genuine that it couldn’t be sold openly, to avoid breaking the law.

With this in mind, Sophia Green was still convinced that what she had bought was authentic.

Thinking this way, she straightened her back, gave Elly Campbell a cold smirk, and said,

"Of course, Professor Chapman was personally invited by my father. With so many eyes watching here, I’m not afraid of you pulling any tricks."

The tone of condescension in her voice caused those present to frown.

Although she was clearly addressing Elly Campbell, it was obvious that the real meaning of her words implied that Master Clark and Professor Grant might be biased towards Elly Campbell.

This young Miss Green really didn’t know how to conduct herself. Was it really appropriate to talk like this at someone else’s birthday feast?

Master Clark’s complexion darkened further. What was supposed to be a pleasant birthday feast had become rather awkward, thanks to this father and daughter.

A flicker of cold light passed through Elly Campbell’s eyes before she smiled and said, "That would be best."

Saying this, she turned towards George Parker and added, "Young Master Parker, to give everyone even more confidence in Professor Chapman’s ability to appraise and judge antiques, while he appraises this inkstone, could you perhaps lend us a few treasures for Professor Chapman to appraise as well?"

There was no doubt about Jeny Chapman’s skill here. By making this request, Elly Campbell seemingly aimed to gain trust from others, but in fact, she was closing off any escape route for Sophia Green and Cam Green.

Otherwise, once Jeny Chapman arrived and declared the inkstone fake, this shameless father and daughter might try to find some disgraceful way out.

For instance, claiming that Jeny Chapman was mistaken.
