CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: PASSING OFF INFERIOR GOODS AS SUPERIOR?

The man didn’t deliberately raise his volume, but his magnetic voice, like rocks colliding, stirred the heart and instantly captured everyone’s attention.

He stood against the light, his posture tall and straight, comparable to an international male model.

Under the interplay of light and shadow, a single profile was enough to throw the hearts of all the women present into disarray.

"This must be the prince charming from fairy tale books, crazily embellished with adjectives. He’s truly handsome."

"A stunner, captivating! It feels like those carefully crafted protagonists in novels finally have a face."

"Oh my, whose gentleman is this? I need all his information in five minutes."

"This gentleman is graceful and charming, unparalleled in elegance. If he’s not from a noble family in Westmarch, he must be from a wealthy family in Esteria."

Amidst the heated discussion, July Quinn turned around and met Kyle Keaton’s dark eyes.

"Why are you here?" She felt the little deer in her heart pounding wildly.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before, even when she was in love with Nathan Jacobs.

"If I didn’t come, would I just stand by and watch you being bullied?"

The man’s tone made the surrounding temperature drop sharply.

Before he came, he thought he might run into July Quinn and Nathan Jacobs exchanging flirtatious looks behind everyone’s backs.

But who would have thought he would witness July Quinn being humiliated by Nathan Jacobs and others joining forces?

In that instant, he was furious.

His Mrs. Keaton, even if only in name, should never be at the mercy of others.

"Husband..."

July Quinn felt the little deer in her heart crash unconscious.

However, Nathan Jacobs didn’t seem to give her a chance to dwell on where this feeling came from. He directly stepped forward and rudely took the gift box that Kyle Keaton had just handed over and opened it in front of everyone.

Inside was a jade pendant, with fine and transparent quality, and a pure, vibrant green color.

It was beautiful, but so flawless that it resembled glassware.

"Assistant Keaton, sending a glass imitation like this and passing it off as genuine is pointless."

Nathan Jacobs sneered.

This time, to appease the Old Master and get his help to return to The Jacobs Group, Nathan Jacobs also gifted a top-grade jade pendant as a birthday present.

That one was of slightly lower quality than Kyle Keaton’s but still cost over ten million.

If Kyle Keaton’s piece was real, its price would exceed twenty million.

In Nathan Jacobs’s eyes, Kyle Keaton was just a small assistant, and his entire fortune might not even amount to twenty million.

So, how could Kyle Keaton possibly spend twenty million on a gift at Old Master Jacobs’s birthday banquet?

Absurd!

The Quinn Family was initially dazzled by the jade pendant, but now, having it pointed out as a glass imitation by Nathan Jacobs, they felt ashamed and annoyed.

"July, quickly have him take it back." Amanda Ford was the first to speak up.

She valued face the most.

She didn’t want others to know that her daughter had only married an assistant; moreover, she didn’t want people to know that the assistant tried to use a glass imitation to pass off as genuine at the Jacobs’s, trying to fool them.

Charles Quinn also spoke up: "July, this is not the place for you to horse around. Hurry up and put it away, and go home first."

If they continued to cause a fuss here, then Nina Quinn and Nathan Jacobs’s engagement might not be finalized today.

Then, his dream of relying on the Jacobs Family to grow the Quinn Group would be shattered.

"July, why don’t you just keep the pendant? After all, Grandpa Jacobs probably won’t really hold it against you."

Nina Quinn actually felt a moment of doubt when she saw the jade pendant.

But Nathan Jacobs’s words made her think it could only be a glass imitation.

After all, Nathan Jacobs was born into one of the most prestigious families in Westmarch.

He must have seen countless high-end jewelry; how could he be mistaken?

At this point, Nathan Jacobs even stepped forward and directly stuffed the jade back into Kyle Keaton’s hand...
