Hans frowned as he found himself an opponent . Sean was definitely great with the
ladies . He had the looks, he was willing to spend, and he was good at sweet talk .
Porter realized the difference between the two and was disheartened . "I chose the
wrong opponent, right?"
Hans reassured him, saying, "It doesn't matter . I have an advice for you . Believe me,
the most precious gifts are all about finding the right one and not about how expensive it
is . But whoever this kid is, he is really rich!"
Li Du frowned as well . He looked closely at the jewelry in Sean's hand and felt that
something was not quite right .
Up until now, his mine in Lightning Ridge occasionally produced black opals . All of them
had to go through him before being sent to Harry Winston Inc .
Therefore, he was very familiar with opals . Like with diamonds, he could tell at first
glance .
The gems in Sean's hand were very beautiful, but the colors were too bright for the
natural beauty of an opal .
The true nature of an opal was more refined than kitsch . His gems were beautiful but
the colors were rather dull . These, on the other hand, were like the fake ones he'd seen
before .
This made him think of what Sean had said earlier . He said, "This jewelry is so beautiful,
man . How much did you pay for it?"
"It's not convenient for me to tell you that," Sean gave him a look .
A young man next to them said, "The internal price cannot be made public, dude .
You've asked a silly question . "
Li Du smiled . "Maybe, but I think it is necessary to ask this question because this guy
here may have been cheated . "
"Cheated?" someone next to him echoed . "What do you mean?"
Li Du released the little bug to turn the time back to when this set of jewelry was made .
He saw the entire process of manufacturing the necklace and earrings . He also saw the
transaction process .
These were fakes!
The opals were not even spliced from real gems but were artificial to begin with . Hence,
the chatoyance of the opals was so disappointing .
Li Du pointed at the opals angrily . "You bought fakes . This set was not produced by
Harry Winston Inc . "
The youngsters were stunned when they heard this .
Sean looked at him in shock . "What did you say? Nonsense, what are you talking
about? This is the Love of Ink I bought through my relatives . Of course they are
authentic!"
Li Du shook his head . "No, they are definitely fake . "
Sean became a little angry and glared at him . "Hah, you are so certain! As if you have
seen any Love of Ink series jewelry . Come on, you tell me, how is this a fake?"
Without waiting for Li Du to say another word, he went to the table and picked up a
magazine in English with the bold title 'LUXURIES' . This was the world's top luxury
magazine .
Sean flipped the pages and pointed to a picture . "Look, all of you! 'LUXURIES' has an
introduction to the Love of Ink series . Look here, here's the set I bought . "
There was a beautiful photograph on the fine copperplate paper, along with information
about this set of jewelry . The necklace and earrings Sean had taken out were right
there .
Li Du took the magazine and studied it . The first page of the magazine featured a high-
resolution photo of Cole Winston . In the photo, he was smiling as he sat on a desk chair
with an office background behind him .
Once he saw this photo, he had a simple way to prove the origin of the jewelry .
He looked at Sean with an unamused smile and said, "You know all about the
authenticity of this jewelry, don't you? I mean, you don't want to make things too ugly,
right?"
Li Du had already given Sean an opportunity to say he was cheated . In fact, he was not .
From the time when the little bug reversed the time, Li Du knew the truth . Sean had
gone to a small workshop and bought this jewelry set .
The first reason why Li Du wanted to expose him was that Sean was not quite polite
and actually insulted Chinese porcelain earlier . The second reason was that Li Du
believed one should never, ever deceive others with his belongings . If this incident was
exposed, it could have caused Harry Winston, Inc . to be at fault .
In addition, Sean had obviously entered into a rivalry with Porter, who was also pursuing
Ariana .
As far as he knew, Porter was genuinely interested in Ariana, whereas Sean was a
playboy who used fake jewelry to deceive girls . He was definitely a love swindler .
No matter how he looked into this matter, he could not remain indifferent .
Although Sean was nervous, he still said with apparent confidence, "What are you
talking about? Don't cause trouble . Who are you? Who brought you here?"
Seeing that he did not dare to own the truth, Li Du saw no reason to help Sean out of
this embarrassing situation . He took out his cell phone and called Cole .
As he was on the phone, he held the magazine up, showing the man in the picture to
the public, "This is Cole Winston, president of the Harry Winston, Inc . , as you can
obviously see . "
Cole answered the phone . "Hello, Li, what's the matter?"
"Nothing much . Can I bother you for a few minutes?"
"Not a problem . "
"Cool, let's change to a video call . " Li Du switched the mode .
At once, Cole Winston's face appeared on the screen with the same office background .
Li Du showed his phone screen to everyone . "I assume I don't have to introduce this
gentleman . This is Mr . Cole Winston . "
Cole's face, appearance and the office background on the phone screen were almost
identical to the magazine picture . Nobody could doubt the truth .
Cole looked blank as he did not understand why Li Du video-called him and showed him
to a bunch of young people .
However, he recovered quickly . He smiled, greeted the young people and gave a brief
introduction about himself .
Actually seeing the president of a large company with a market value of more than one
billion dollars appear on the phone screen shook the young people . Sean was shocked
and stunned for a moment, too .
Li Du took the jewels out of his hand and showed them to Cole . He asked, "Do you
recognize this set of jewelry?"
The Love of Ink series was the highlight of Harry Winston, Inc . this year . Cole looked at
it attentively . Harry Winston, Inc . worked hard towards a turn-around with the aid of this
set of jewelry .
He was shocked when he saw the jewelry . "What is going on? How come do you have
these? This set of jewelry should be in the showcase in Paris, and it has not been sold
yet . "
Hearing this, Sean was evidently embarrassed and the young people knew what was
going on .
Li Du said, "Yes, they should still be in the showcase, but I saw them in Miami . Some
people say that his relatives have taken this from the group, so as a shareholder in
Harry Winston, Inc . , I want to ask you what is going on . "
As he spoke, he turned his head to Sean .
Sean realized that the situation was bad, and made to sneak away as fast as he could .
"Well, I am having a bad stomach ache . I have to go to the bathroom first . We'll talk
later…"
