Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

The Imitation “We are talking about Vincent Geoffrey, the renowned jade carving master.

You must be thinking of someone else,” Bill butted in and glared at Maria.

He didn‘t want to believe that someone like Maria would actually know such a famous figure.

In his opinion, Maria was just bluffing.

Before teaching her a lesson, he did find it necessary to introduce the background of the master whose masterpiece she stole.

“Vincent Geoffrey is a famous artist worldwide.

When it comes to the jade carving, he is second to none.

Six months ago, he donated four small jade carvings of identical design at a charity auction.

And yes, Vivian‘s Jadee is one of them.” Then, Bill picked up a magnifying glass on the tea table and continued, “If you look closely at its bottom side, there should be a micro–carved serial number ‘Y0088‘… What?” Bill almost jumped in surprise when he saw what was carved on it.

The four jade carvings that Vincent himself donated for the auction had the following serial numbers engraved in them: Y0006, Y0008, Y0066, and Y0088.

In order not to damage the overall beauty of the sophisticated jade carvings, these numbers were carefully engraved at the bottom using a piece of high–end micro–carving equipment.

It was so small that it could only be seen with the use of a magnifying glass.

However, the moment Bill subjected Maria‘s jade piece under the magnifying glass, the serial number that appeared was different from what Jadee originally had.

In fact, it was different from every jade piece that Vincent had donated in the auction.
