Chapter 540 Jean’s Confession

“A premium knock-off?” Toby repeated grimly, the air around him growing cold.

Tom’s lips twitched, and he was rendered speechless as he thought, A premium knock-off of the Ocean’s Heart? What a ridiculous lie!

Not knowing that Toby and Tom had already caught her in her lie, Jean thought she had them fooled. Nodding frantically, she said, “Yes, a premium knock-off. I specifically went to the mall to get it, and it cost me thousands!”

 

“Mom, do you seriously think the Ocean’s Heart would have a knock-off in the market?” Toby demanded as he stared at her impassively.

Upon hearing this, Jean felt the sirens going off in her head, and a wave of uneasiness crashed over her as she stammered, “W-What do you mean?”

“What I meant was that the Ocean’s Heart was auctioned off as soon as it was made, and no photos of it had ever been made public. The rest of the world only knew the Ocean’s Heart as an extremely valuable piece of jewelry, but they never saw what it looked like. As for that shop that you supposedly went to, why don’t you tell me where they came across the real Ocean’s Heart and thereafter produce a counterfeit like that?” he asked icily and pressed his lips into a thin line.

She blanched and began to stammer, “I-I…” She was at a loss for words, having reached the peak of embarrassment now that her bluff had been called.

Rubbing the space between his brows, he asked, “So, are you ready to tell me how the Ocean’s Heart came to be in your possession?”
