The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 54: The Appraisal
"Isn't it just an antique collection?" James asked indifferently. "No big deal.""You're such a country bumpkin," Patrick Moore sneered. "Boastful and impatient. Are you for real? Unbelievable!" He shook his head in resignation."So you are the legendary loser son-in-law from the Bailey family, huh?" A young man stood up and said sarcastically. I bet you are an expert for living off your wife, I would like you to teach me, the man laughed. But don't fool yourself by pretending to be an expert on antiques and appraisals.""Well said," another man in red sunglasses agreed. Stop talking nonsense in front of Mr. Zinolesky, for crying out loud. Your wife's reputation would go down the drain as well. You may end up without a provider," he scoffed."A loser like you with no money or status to speak has the nerve to talk about an antique appraisal. Get lost!" Another man spat at James.Before long, everyone started hurling rude remarks and disdainful comments at James Miller."Yes, I'm pennil
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 55: The Appraisal 2
"This Jade bangle should be an antique from the silk road. It was a gift from China to a Roman emperor. They originally came in a pair but one was accidentally broken by the treasure hunters who dug it up from some ruins. The only one left found its way onto the antique market and passed through quite a few hands before ending up here." "If I didn't recall wrongly, when the media mogul of HonorGrave, Benson weather's daughter got married last month, she wore this very Jade bangle." Henry said, "Mr. Zinolesky, may I remind you that Benson's weather daughter is Mr. Davis Grey's goddaughter. Do you think a leading authority on antiques like Mr. Davis Grey will give a fake jade bangle to his goddaughter as a wedding gift?" "As for this inkwell here," eyeing it disdainfully, James scoffed, "it's not exactly an antique, but neither is it fake. Someone had gone through a lot of trouble to patch up and repaint an old, almost completely broken inkwell. "The handiwork is not bad though. Mos
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 56: The Secrets
"Mr. Zinolesky, "What's the hurry?" James asked with a smile. Let's wait till Mr. Xavier comes before we decide on the authenticity of the items." "Mr. Xavier?" Kent snickered. "Who do you think you are? Why would Mr. Xavier come just for you?" "He wouldn't come because I asked, of course," admitted James. "However, did you know that Mr. Xavier is the chief appraiser of Life Long Collectible group?" "Elliot Forcados," James spoke to a man who had been standing quietly in a corner. "You're a traitor through and through indeed. Not only did you give away the Life Long group's auction reserve price, you even leaked the name list of all their appraiser." Henry only found out that all the Life Long group's appraisers had disappeared when he was on the way to the Full Moon Pavilion. As a last resort, left without any other choice, he called James. "Elliot, Elliot, you know that these appraisers are very important to the company. If anything happens to them, be it just a tiny scratch,
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 57: The Amphora
"At best, we are on a tie now," sneered Jenny. She was defiant and not convinced. She added, "You can only take the antique shop for Life Long Group if you win us.""James you look scared. I guess you can't afford loose, huh?"How could that be? It just so happens that Mr. Xavier is here too. He can act as our witness," replied James, putting a faint smile on his face.Despite that Xavier was the chief appraiser of Life Long Collectible, he was very trustworthy and reliable since he was the leading authority in the antique market of HonorGrave."Sure, I'm okay with it," said Kent while blinking his eyes. At that, he thought to himself, "Well, I guess Xavier would not have the nerve to favour Life Long Group in front of so many witnesses here!""Go to the stupid study and bring me the amphora," said Kent while waving his hands at the man."Yes, Kent," the man replied. Soon Kent men brought out the amphora and displayed it to everyone.It was obvious that Kent was trying to show off. "T
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 58: Is Kent's Amphora A Fake
James lifted his head slightly, and his gaze shifted to the amphora on the redwood table. A mocking smile appeared on his lips as he spoke."It's a fake!""A fake?" Hearing what he said Kent's heart sank. But soon enough, he flashed James a disdainful smile."What are you talking about, James Miller?" Benson bellowed in laughter. "Gosh, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year. A loser like you, who has never dealt with antiques, dare say that Kent amphora is a fake!""Then he added, "What gave you the courage and confidence to say something so wrong out loud?"Soon, everyone else chimed in to ridicule James as well."Right?" How could someone spew bullshit so confidently and dauntlessly? Kent is a famous collector. He practically grew up studying antiquities collected by his family.""He's an idiot who pretends to know it all, thinking that others are foolish enough to be tricked."Jenny pressed her lips together and smiled, saying, "The zinolesky family has been involved in the
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 59: 4.5 Million Dollars Gone Just Like That
Xavier picked up a piece of the broken amphora and felt it between his fingers. "James is right. This Amphora is a counterfeit said, Xavier.Kent's hands froze in mid-air when he heard Xavier. Kent turned to look at Xavier in shock."What did just say?" Asked Kent."How can this be a counterfeit?" Questioned Kent agitatedly.The room went quiet. The turn of events has left everybody in shock."Take a look at this," Xavier said as he pointed to the grooves inside of the amphora. "If the amphora is indeed from thousands of years ago, the grooves would not be so distinct and perfect," explained Xavier."With just a look, anyone can tell that this is just an imitation made by modern craft," Xavier added."What... This is impossible!" Kent snatched a piece of the broken amphora from Xavier and continued in disbelief, "My team of experts and I, had verified that it was genuine when I got this years ago."I'm ashamed," Xavier said as he shook his head and turned to look at James with much ad
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 60: Followed Ava
"Oh, it's you." Ava turned around to see James. Relieved, Ava said, "You scared me." "What are you scared of?" Holding his wife in his arms, James smiled into the twinkling light. "Scared just because of this? I never knew my wife was so timid." "Who... Who said I was scared?" Ava pretended to be angry and poked him. "Didn't I say not to pick me up?" James took the key from Ava's hand and said "I had nothing to do at home anyway, and besides, it's very late and I was worried about you driving home alone." Hearing his words, Ava was very touched. Ava and James got into the car and quickly drove out of the underground carpark. They chatted about Ava's work for that day. Although Ava was tired, it was clear that she found it very rewarding. Starting from the first street, James noticed two black Mercedes-Benz were trailing behind their car. James frowned slightly and stepped down harder on the accelerator, heading straight for Downvilla district. "What's wrong?" Ava, feeling th
The Useless Son In Law CHAPTER 61: Ava Is Injured
Elliot turned crazy and stepped on the pedal.However, the moment the car was about to hit James, he closed his eyes in fear.They thundered a mighty bang.Something got hit.When Elliot opened his eyes again, he didn't see James' body. There was only wreckage of several luxury cars."James... James..." Ava was shuddering as blood trickled down one corner of her forehead."Where is James?" Asked Benson as he crane his neck out of the window and cast a glance around. He resumed, "Was he bumped into the air...?No sooner had he finished his words, a figure unexpectedly appeared on his car roof.The figure grabbed his hand and swiftly gave Benson a few punches. Benson struggled for a while and soon lost consciousness.Elliot realized something bad was happening and became fully alert, rushing to start the car."Go to hell, James!" He stamped down at the accelerator. Little did he expect that James was on the roof of his car."Stop it, stop it, Elliot." Ava cried, worrying that James migh
