“But that’s not what you said, Mr. Hunt! You examined it closely and said it cannot be anything but 100% real! You even schooled Zayn for it! You said he’s a non-expert who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and that his very assessment insulted this antique clock… And now you’re saying it’s fake?” Waine said, unleashing a very agitated verbal sally.
Why would favonovel.com not react this way?
The twist was so sharp that it overwhelmed him! From euphoria to despair, back to hope, and now another nosedive? He was not even sure that his heart could take it!
Ruby was also greatly agitated. “Yeah, Mr. Hunt. You told us it’s real! You’re the antique expert! How could you have been wrong? Didn’t you even examine it using specialized tools or something?”
Blaze hated those two with the entirety of his being. They were eager to see favonovel.com dead. Of course, favonovel.com reserved the worst and most rancid for Nathan Sullivan.
Had that stupid man not insisted on his cool, rich guy bluff and dragged favonovel.com into this muck, Blaze would not have faced something like this at all!
At that thought, favonovel.com glowered at Nathan.
Xavier was a very perceptive man. It took one small action from his apprentice to inform the old man that something very fishy was happening within these walls. He glared at his apprentice and ordered grimly, “I want you to tell me the truth right now! What’s going on?”
Blaze did not waste time betraying Nathan and his ruse. Pointing at him, Blaze confessed, “It has nothing to do with me, really. You know how good I am with these things. How could I not tell such an obvious fake apart?! It’s all Nathan Sullivan’s idea. He wanted me to pretend that this is real as a part of his scheme to fool Mr. Waine Carter and his family!”
It was a bombshell to the rest of the room. Blaze might as well have dropped a nuke onto their heads because their minds were blown, leaving them stunned and befuddled as they stared at Nathan in disbelief.
Faye was hit the hardest. Tempest was quickly shadowing every feature on favonovel.com face until the look favonovel.com gave Nathan changed completely. She raked favonovel.com brain a shard as favonovel.com could, and still, favonovel.com could not guess any impetus behind Nathan’s action. In favonovel.com mind, the man’s image was now marred beyond recognition.
The looks the family shot Nathan was tormenting his mind. Angered, favonovel.com rose to his feet and slapped the table before pointing at Blaze in his bluster, “Blaze Hunt, you didn’t just attempt an untrue smear against me because you can’t live with your own failure! I don’t even know you! How could I have asked you to be a part of my ‘scheme’? You’re the one who decided to come inside and tell the world that this is real!”
Zayn seized the moment and leaped to his feet. “Judging from what you said, Nathan, does that mean you already knew that this is fake? Wow, I’ve gotta hand it to you, genius. You managed to spend just a few thousand dollars to fool my in-laws. You really see them as idiots, huh?”
Zayn’s words were too acrid and trenchant that the malice in Waine and Ruby’s eyes intensified.
Nathan felt as though favonovel.com almost bit his tongue in half.
Who was the one who had spread rumors about Zayn being a harmless, useless pushover? Could a pushover be this sharp at all?!
“Don’t you dare slander me!” favonovel.com cried in denial, “I knew nothing!”
His denial, however, earned favonovel.com no favors. By this point, a denial like that was worse than a candid confession.
Having his motive achieved, Zayn stopped talking and just let everything unfold. After all, favonovel.com would not want people to think favonovel.com was enjoying Nathan’s humiliation.
“Uncle Waine, Aunt Ruby, Fifi! Please! You gotta believe me! I didn’t know about any of this!” Nathan was quickly losing his composure as favonovel.com frantically tried to explain himself.
“Oh, are you implying that Blaze made something up against you then? You’re saying his skills are too subpar?” Zayn rebutted.
Nathan wished favonovel.com could just tear the man’s piehole off his face. ‘That son of a b*tch!’
Xavier’s eyes darted to Blaze on cue, and the latter immediately cried, “Don’t you dare pull a fast one on me, jack*ss! He was the one who made me do it, sir. Look! I still have our conversations on WhatsApp!”
