Chapter 1389
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
âDonât listen to Nigelâs nonsense, Uncle Damian! This is a piece of valuable FourâColored Jadeite, not some counterfeit stone like what he claims,â Leon explained.
âFourâColored Jadeite?â
âThis jadeite statue does indeed have four different colorsâcould this indeed be the FourâColored Jadeite that represents happiness, wealth, and longevity?â
The audience was all shocked to hear this, exchanging glances of uncertainty and doubt.
Although any jadeite that possessed more than three colors was hard to come by, because the Fourâ
Colored Jadeite had such a meaningful symbolism to it, many of the rich and powerful heard a thing or two about this remarkable stone!
However, since they were not professional jewelers after all, none of them could tell whether the jadeite statue before them was indeed the priceless FourâColored Jadeite or just a cheap dupe!
âWhat nonsense is this? Any priceless jadeite that has three or more colors would be made into small accessories, and Iâve never once heard of such a humongous FourâColored Jadeite! Even if you wanted to lie your way out of this, Leon, youâd better get your story straight first!â Nigel said, sneering.
He was certain that the gift Leon brought was just a cheap counterfeit, and no matter what Leon said, he refused to believe that this was the legendary FourâColored Jadeite!
âYes, Master Nigel is correct! This jadeite statue is so big, it doesnât seem to be made out of the valuable Four -Colored Jadeite!â the audience agreed with Nigelâs statement and all thought that Leon was lying!
âLeon isnât lying! I can vouch for himâthis jadeite is indeed the FourâColored Jadeite!â Penny stepped forward all of a sudden.
âVouch for him? how are you going to do that?â Nigel froze, then glanced at Penny. Patrick and the audience all turned to gaze at Penny with puzzled looks.
âGrandpa, Leon gambled for this stone a few days ago at the Westwoodsâ storeâAndy and I were there, and we saw everything. It turned out that the stone was indeed a rare FourâColored Jadeite, and I swear that this isnât a counterfeit product at all,â Penny declared confidently.
âWhat?â
âHowâs this possible?â Nigel and the rest were stunned to hear this. They all thought Leon was lying, and never once did they think that the jadeite statue Leon was gifting Patrick would turn out to be a piece of priceless treasure!
Even Patrick and Damian were stunned by this.
âPenny, are you telling the truth?â Damian asked.
âYes, nothing but the truth! Not only that, but when Leon got his hands on this FourâColored Jadeite, some jeweler tried to buy it for fortyâthree million dollars, but Leon turned down his offer so that he could sculpt it into this statue as Grandpaâs birthday present,â Penny explained, nodding.
