After hearing Sabrina’s words, everyone turned their attention to Trisha.
Trisha’s family was in the gem business, and her grandfather had taught her about gems since she was young.
Therefore, Trisha was very knowledgeable in appraising gemstones. Moreover, Trisha also studied gemstone appraisal in university.
Sabrina initially did not want to give the garnet bracelet to Trisha because she was worried that if Trisha said that it was fake, Connor would definitely be very embarrassed.
At this moment, Sabrina did not believe that the garnet bracelet was real. After all, she knew Connor’s situation very well.
She felt that Connor would never have the money to buy a real garnet bracelet for her.
A few minutes later, Trisha slowly put down the garnet bracelet in her hand. Then, she turned her head and winked at Sheldon, revealing a smug smile.
The reason why Trisha had taken the initiative to help Sabrina appraise the garnet bracelet was all because of Sheldon.
Sheldon wanted to know who Connor was. If this garnet bracelet was expensive, it meant that Connor’s identity was not simple.
However, if this garnet bracelet was fake, it meant that Connor was a poor loser. After all, if Connor was really rich, he would not have given Sabrina something cheap.
“Trisha, is this garnet bracelet real?”
Sadie asked Trisha.
Trisha smiled faintly and said to Sadie expressionlessly, “It’s not easy for me to tell whether this thing is real or not…”
“What does this mean?”
Sabrina’s eyes flashed with a trace of doubt as she asked with a puzzled expression.
“Because this garnet bracelet is not some a jade. It’s merely imitation jade…”
Trisha said coldly.
When everyone heard Trisha’s words, their eyes widened in shock.
“What is imitation jade?”
Sabrina blinked her big watery eyes and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Imitation jade is also called artificial jade. It has the appearance and luster of a natural jade. Although the material density of imitation jade is similar to that of natural jade, its hardness and anti-aging performance are very poor. If it were someone who didn’t know anything about jades, he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. However, if it were us professionals, we would be able to tell what’s going on at a glance. It’s like antique forgery…”
Trisha looked at everyone and explained softly.
“Forgery?”
When Yara heard this, a smug smile appeared on her face. This was the result that Yara wanted to see.
“That means this bracelet is fake, right?”
“Yes, you can also see it that way. After all, this garnet bracelet is not real jade at all. It is just a replica. It is used to fool those who do not understand jade…” Trisha said expressionlessly.
When everyone heard Trisha’s words, they were all stunned.
They didn’t think that the garnet bracelet that Connor had given Sabrina was a high-quality imitation.
“Then, how much is this fake worth?”
Yara asked with a smile.
“Imitation jade isn’t very valuable. It’s no different from the jewelry you buy from roadside stalls. Basically, you can buy something much better than this one for one to two hundred dollars…”
Trisha threw Connor’s garnet bracelet onto the table and said with a disdainful expression.
“It’s actually fake?”
When everyone heard Trisha’s words, they were all dumbfounded. Their mouths were wide open, and they were extremely shocked.
Connor was also stunned, a trace of confusion flashing across his eyes.
After all, he did not know what was going on with this garnet bracelet.
Connor did not know how to explain after what Trisha said.
“This person is really shameless. He actually bought a fake for Sabrina…”
“Connor, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. You bought a fake bracelet and gave it to Sabrina just like that. How embarrassing.”
“That’s right. If you don’t have money, then don’t pretend. Just be honest and say that you don’t have money to buy a gift.”
“People like you are really disgusting. I’ve never seen anyone more disgusting than you!”
When everyone found out that the garnet bracelet that Connor gave Sabrina was fake, they all stepped forward to criticize Connor.
Connor stood there helplessly and explained with a pale expression, “This garnet bracelet was given to me by someone else. I did not know that it was fake…”
“What do you mean by someone gave it to you? Do you think we’re fools? You spent a few dollars on a fake bracelet, and now you’re actually looking for excuses?”
Yara naturally wouldn’t let go of such a good opportunity. She widened her foxlike eyes and shouted excitedly.
“Since you don’t have money, don’t pretend to be a rich guy. Don’t you feel ashamed that things have turned out this way?”
Sadie crossed her arms and said coldly to Connor.
For a moment, it seemed as if everyone had stepped forward to criticize Connor.
To these people, Connor was simply a big liar!
“What are you all doing? This is my birthday present. I’ve not said anything, yet you guys are throwing comments left and right.”
Sabrina could not stand it anymore. She frowned and shouted at the crowd.
“Sabrina, why are you still speaking up for Connor? Look at what he’s done!” Yara pouted and shouted.
“What has he done? So what if this garnet bracelet is fake? Connor didn’t say that this garnet bracelet is real. This is just a birthday present from him. No matter what birthday present it is, it’s a token of his appreciation. You don’t have to react in such a way…”
Sabrina widened her big watery eyes and shouted.
Everyone turned to look at Sabrina when they heard that.
They did not expect Sabrina to still speak up for Connor at a time like this.
Laila was the only one with a puzzled expression on her face because she already knew Connor’s true identity.
She felt that with Connor’s status, even if it was a real garnet bracelet, it should not mean anything to him. There was no need for Connor to buy a fake garnet bracelet for Sabrina!
“Trisha, are you sure it’s fake?”
Laila hesitated for a moment before asking Trisha softly.
Trisha turned her head and glanced at Laila, saying softly, “Laila, you know that I’ve been learning how to appraise gemstones from my grandfather. How could I make a mistake? If I can’t even distinguish between a real garnet bracelet and an imitation jade, then wouldn’t all my years of learning be in vain…”
“But…”
Laila opened her mouth to speak, but she did not want to reveal Connor’s identity in front of so many people.
However, if she did not reveal Connor’s true identity, then this matter could not be explained away..
