Goodbye, My Love

Cruz, that’s not true. Don’t believe her!”

Loraine let out an angry Laugh.

Indeed, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Both mother and daughter were stupid.

There was indisputable evidence online, but they were still trying to lie their way out of the situation.

“I have no reason to lie to you, Mrs. Cruz. If you don’t believe me, you can surf the internet. You will see Mrs. Bryant’s statement of apology on the official website of Bryant Group.”

Florence wasn’t a fan of getting news on the internet. But now that

Loraine made this statement, she believed her.

Laura was unsettled that everything had come to Light, so she tried to explain. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s just a misunderstanding! Mrs. Cruz, let me explain…”

Loraine was pissed, so she didn’t want to give Laura the chance to get away with this. She pointed at the antique clock on the table and asked, “Did you just say it was a misunderstanding? Was your fake gift also a misunderstanding?”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Marina’s face flushed. She pointed at Loraine and shouted, “Stop talking nonsense. What do you know about antiques? This clock is worth five million dollars! How dare you say it’s fake?”

“For your information, I have some knowledge about antiques.” Loraine flipped her hair back and flashed a proud smile. “It seems this bronze clock is modeled according to the French clocks made during the reign of King Louis XVI.”

The jaws of Laura and Marina dropped suddenly. They were shocked that

Loraine recognized the clock at a glance.

Folding her arms, Loraine continued, “It’s fake but it looks very similar to the real one. The rust on its surface makes it look so old.

Such rust takes at least seven hundred years to form. This was long before Louis XVI ascended the throne. It means the clock can only be a fake!”

Marina had no knowledge of antiques. Although she wanted to rebut

Loraine’s claim, she couldn’t because confusion set in.

“Bah! You must have made that up. How can you prove your silly claim?”

“Prove it?” Loraine raised her eyebrows. “Fine, you should ask someone to wipe the clock with saline water. Naturally formed rust on the surface can’t be wiped away. But the one on this clock will wipe away easily.”

Marina was still stubborn. She was annoyed that Loraine was getting more confident.

“No way! Water will damage the clock. I suspect that’s what you want to do, you sly woman!”
