Chapter 250: The Diamond Is Fake

At charity auctions, even for valuable items, the starting prices wouldn’t be set too high.
This necklace was so valuable that everyone scrambled to bid on it and rushed to raise their number plates, and the price became higher and higher.
Ada arrogantly raised her head high and smiled triumphantly.
This necklace had been donated by her.
Her heart was almost bleeding when she decided to donate it, but for Phoebe, she was willing to do it.
Phoebe covered her mouth and smiled. “Mom, look at them. How silly!”
If nothing else, this time, she and her mother should be able to get the honorary certificate, and their names would be recorded in the school’s history!
Becky almost destroyed her reputation, but now she would earn it back.
In the end, the necklace was sold for 600,000 dollars.
The next exhibit, the Cullinan diamond, was 3106 carats, approximately the size of a man’s fist, exuding a brilliant blue light.
This diamond… was gorgeous!
Everyone gasped in shock, admiring the huge diamond, and couldn’t look away.
Derek’s eyes almost popped out. He was the first to hold up his number plate.
He wanted to give this to Mr. Walker!
At this moment, Claire stretched out her hand and pressed down his number plate.
Derek asked in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
“This is a fake.” Claire narrowed her eyes and stared at the diamond in the glass cabinet.
Although her voice was low, she was still heard by Joe’s mother next to her.
She stood up abruptly and yelled. “What do you mean, girl? How dare you say that my diamond is fake?!”
Because of her son, Joe, she was disgusted with Claire, and now her words also irritated her.
Her roar, like a sudden clap of thunder, attracted the attention of everyone present.
Everyone stood up and gathered around.
“What happened?”
“She said that the diamond is fake!”
“She knows nothing. She just talked nonsense here!”
Joe hurriedly tugged at his mother’s clothes. “Mom, Claire didn’t mean to offend you. Sit down quickly.”
Her mother shouted angrily. “Why are you trying to defend her? I’m your mother!”
Claire didn’t say anything and looked indifferent. She just didn’t want to watch Derek wasting money and was not interested in meddling in others’ business.
But Joe’s mother didn’t want to let her off. She shoved Claire hard from behind, cursing. “Speak! Look at me and tell me whether you have ever seen a diamond? How dare you claim that it’s fake?!”
Claire frowned, still leaning on the chair, and tilted her head slightly. Her sharp gaze swept at Joe’s mother and she spoke unhurriedly and coldly. “There are only two Cullinan diamonds in the world, one is 1582 carats and the other is 3106 carats. Depending on the size, yours should be 3106 carats. I’ve seen the real one. The crack pattern inside is different from this one. Therefore, it can be judged that this one is fake.”
Joe’s mother laughed out loud. “Are you kidding me?! This Cullinan diamond was only exhibited once in the Moon Museum of Shuo Kingdom. There isn’t a picture of this diamond on the Internet. And you, a little girl from the country, said you’ve seen this diamond? Don’t tell me, you have been to the Moon Museum!”
Everyone burst into laughter and cast a mocking and contemptuous look at Claire.
Phoebe said mockingly, “Why did Claire cause trouble again? So many people are watching!”
Ada looked impatient.
This girl disgraced the Smiths yet again!
Claire raised her eyebrows.. “Yes, I have.”
