Chapter 11: The Fake

"Stop talking nonsense. You want to sue me? Bring out the evidence!" Kocsis Jean's expression was indescribably ferocious. She looked at Fabricio with resentful eyes and gritted her teeth and said, "But if you don't have evidence... I will never be done with you!!!" This scream attracted the attention of many people, and people waiting in line in the office hall subconsciously stopped to see what happened. Police officer Larenzo Gilbert frowned and was about to say something to disperse, but at this moment Fabricio said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I will not only produce evidence, I will also convince you." As he spoke, he picked up the bag of broken jade bracelets, flashed them in front of everyone, and said lightly, "You said this green jade is high-quality good, right?" Larenzo was afraid that Kocsis would quarrel with Fabricio again, so he rushed to answer, "I bought it today. There are invoices and certificates inside. I also called in to verify the quality according to the contact number above. It is genuine. It is indeed not question." "Hmph! How about that? Are you still..." Fabricio was too speechless to talk to her. Instead, he turned to the police directly. He said with a solemn expression, "Did you contact them by video? Has the other party seen anything?" "Not really." Larenzo frowned and said hesitantly, "Why? You suspect that the other party just got a real certificate and invoice, but the bracelet is fake? Isn't that unnecessary?" It was not his fault for questioning. First of all, Jarell Lee was very well-dressed and looked like he was not short of money. Secondly, they were boyfriend and girlfriend, could Jarell pull off such a scam? Kocsis was completely furious with a cold face. She simply faced the police, too, and said angrily, "Hey, what nonsense are you talking to him about? Since he can't bring out the evidence, then just deal with him for libel." Jarell Lee even put on a serious face and said with great dissatisfaction, "Also, have you checked his criminal record since I asked you to? This man may be a wanted criminal. What do you mean by letting him arguing here for such a long time?" Fabricio narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not because you have a ghost in your heart, right? Maybe." Speaking of this, Fabricio deliberately showed an expression of sudden realization and said, "If people know that the jade bracelet your boyfriend gave you is a fake... haha..." "Ridiculous!" Kocsis yelled, "Do you think Jarell is like you? My Jarell is the director of the purchasing department of Accord Group, with a monthly salary of over ten thousand dollars. Do you think someone like him would buy fakes as you do?" "Then why don't you dare to let me finish my sentence!" "Okay, okay." Kocsis's pretty face was completely distorted by anger then. She gritted her teeth and said, "You want to say something, right? Okay, I'll let you finish your words. You say it! Say it!" Jarell’s face clouded. He wanted to say something, but in a flash, he thought, this man is an orphan without a father and a mother. Does he know what jade is and and how to distinguish its quality? Hum, if he wants to say it, let him say it. As soon as he thought of this, he didn't speak again, but looked at Fabricio with a sneer. The latter gave him a strange smile, then showed them the bag in his hand again, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Do you know why I said it is a fake? Because it is not jade at all, but synthetic jade." "Huh?" Kocsis laughed exaggeratedly upon hearing this, "Synthetic jade? You said it was synthetic? Do you have any evidence?" After a while, the onlookers roughly figured out what was going on here, and they couldn't help but start whispering. "Synthetic jade? Really?" "I don't think so. Even if it's synthetic jade, how can he recognize it?" "In my opinion, he probably dropped someone else's jade bracelet and didn't want to pay for it, so he said that on purpose. Didn't the police already say that this is a confirmed authentic item? It was valued at seven thousand dollars." "Wow, so valuable? Tsk, tsk, then this young man is getting himself a big trouble." "You don't say! They just bought it. It should be compensated for the original price!" Kocsis heard all the crowd's comments and couldn't help but feel more and more arrogant. She raised her chin high and said coldly and dictatorially, "What else do you want to say?" Fabricio didn't take it seriously at all. He just shook his head and said calmly, "There's a lot I want to say." Feeling disinclined to continue talking nonsense to Kocsis, Fabricio simply opened the bag and took out a larger piece of broken bracelet. His eyes were cold and he said, "You said this is a bracelet with five points of water, but do you know that this so-called five points of water means?” The onlookers were all stunned when they heard this, and were a little confused for a moment. Five points of water? What the hell is that? Of course, Kocsis didn't know, but she still crossed her arms and said with a sarcastic smile, "What? You don't want to tell me, you know that, right?" Fabricio lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "The so-called 'water' refers to the transparency of jade. There are only four levels in total, so the full name of the five-point water you just mentioned should be called seed water." "And the fifth grade is a fine bean seed, which is considered to be of poorer quality among jadeite." "Nonsense!" Kocsis said angrily, "I have been in a relationship with you for three years, how can I not know what kind of person you are? You know nothing about Jade!" Unfortunately, there was no need for Fabricio to answer. Someone around him had already finished Google and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's true." "Moisture of jade are divided into head water and planting water. If it is head water, it refers to transparency. If it is planting water, it is jade seed..." "Five points...it's really a fine bean seed." "Hey, this kind of jade bracelet seems to only cost two or three hundred at most. How can it be worth seven thousand?" "You can't really be a liar, right?" Kocsis almost exploded on the spot, and couldn't help shouting madly, "Don't listen to him, he doesn't understand jade at all, he is talking nonsense. I bought this bracelet in Vintech, how can it be fake?" "Hmm……" The crowd of onlookers became suspicious again. Fabricio still didn't care about this and continued to smile, "I said, don't rush to defend yourself. If you have anything to say, wait until I finish speaking." After speaking, he raised the piece of broken jade, raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "This bracelet is completely transparent. It doesn't even need to be illuminated by strong light. As long as it is held in your palm, you can see your palm prints. Do you know what this means?" "That means that if it's real jade, it's the transparent kind, and it's a very exceptional-quality." "Plus this emerald green color without any impurities, haha..." With a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, Fabricio mocked, "Imperial green glass jade bracelet... It starts with tens of thousands of dollars, but you bought it from an authentic shopping mall for fifty thousand dollars? Are you sure that you aren't daydreaming about it?" "Wha...what!?" "Imperial green glass species?" "Ten thousand?" Everyone was startled at what they heard, and then picked up their phones and started Google without hesitation, even police officer Larenzo was no exception. During this process, no one noticed that Jarell Lee's face suddenly turned pale. No way! Then...that person who sells fake goods had deceived me? I… I just wanted to get one that looked like it cost tens of thousands, but he, he got me a replica that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands? The next moment, someone exclaimed, "It's true, it's really the imperial green glass species. Why does this bracelet look so similar to the one in the picture online?" "Yes, yes, it is emerald green all over, pure and transparent, and it looks like there are almost no impurities. The two really look the same." "It can't be the real imperial green glass jade, can it?" As soon as someone said this, many people looked at the one as if he were an idiot. One of them showed people his mobile phone and said faintly, "The real thing is at least tens of thousands, seven thousand dollars? Picked up in the mall? Are you a fool?" On the other side, there was a "pop" sound. It was Kocsis's cell phone slipping to the ground. The next moment, she screamed suddenly, strangled Jarell's neck with her jumping feet, and shouted excitedly, "Jarell, you bastard, tell me, is this bracelet real or fake???"
