Rosell took the lead in showing off his work ID: "Everyone, I am Rosell, General Manager of Van Cleef & Arpels Asia Pacific. Miss Bai's necklace is the latest work of our Van Cleef & Arpels chief designer, Mr. Arthur. This necklace is handmade by Mr. Arthur and is the only one of its kind in the world."
Nie Siqi's hand holding the necklace trembled violently as she stared incredulously at the seemingly unremarkable necklace in her hand.
"How could such a simple necklace possibly be the work of the world-renowned master Arthur? It must be a lie."
Ross slowly opened the thin leather bag in his hand, revealing a certificate. The photo on the certificate was of the necklace that Bai Qianmo was wearing.
"The 'Simple' necklace is a late work by Mr. Arthur. It symbolizes a return to simplicity. Mr. Arthur simplified all the complicated designs to create this unique necklace. Although it looks simple, the diamonds in this necklace are made of rare yellow-brown crystals, making it very expensive."
Someone asked curiously, "How much is this necklace worth?"
Ross explained, "This necklace is Mr. Arthur's most satisfying work in his later years. In F country, many noble ladies came to buy it, but Mr. Arthur refused them all."
Han Yaxin sneered, "Even noble ladies in F country can't buy it, how could Bai Qianmo, a poor girl from the countryside, afford it? I think you're just a fake that Bai Qianmo got from somewhere, trying to fool us all. Bai Qianmo, you're really cunning. You even came up with this kind of method to cover up your crimes."
Lei Zi said, "Qianmo, I know you've always loved expensive jewelry. It's just that I can't afford to buy you something that's too expensive, but you... you can't deceive everyone with an ordinary necklace."
He didn't believe the necklace was really that expensive. As far as he knew, Bai Qianmo grew up in the countryside, how could she possibly afford such expensive jewelry?
This is just a trick she's using, so he absolutely mustn't lose his composure at this moment.
Bai Qianmo looked at Lei Zi indifferently, as if she could see through his thoughts at a glance.
"Officer, in order to verify Rosier's identity, could you please contact the Van Cleef & Arpels branch office?"
The lead officer also felt that this was the only way to prove Rosell's identity. His colleague found the phone number for the Van Cleef & Arpels branch and immediately called to confirm.
"May I ask what your general manager's name is?"
After not knowing what the other person said, the police officer glanced in Roselle's direction and said, "Okay, please contact him as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, the officer walked up to Ross and said, "Sir, please take out your cell phone."
Roselle remained calm and, as instructed by the officer, took her phone from the inside pocket of her suit jacket.
A moment later, the black phone suddenly vibrated.
The officer checked the caller ID and politely nodded to Roselle, "That's fine, thank you!"
"It has been confirmed that Mr. Rosier is indeed the general manager of Van Cleef Asia Pacific, and everything he said is true."
After the police officer finished speaking, everyone except Bai Qianmo and Luo Sier was shocked.
A reporter asked, "What is the current market value of this necklace?"
Mr. Arthur's necklaces have always been extremely expensive. Although this "Simple" necklace seems to have a simple design, the gemstone material required is a very rare yellow-brown diamond, so the price will probably not be low.
Rossel chuckled, “Mr. Arthur sold this necklace at a very friendly price, for a total of 4.8 million…”
Upon hearing the figure of 4.8 million, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the price wasn't as outrageous as I expected."
Rosell raised an eyebrow slyly: "It's $4.8 million, and it's being sold at half price."
The air suddenly froze, and everyone's face instantly showed astonishment.
US$4.8 million? That's nearly RMB 30 million?
The Bai family was undoubtedly the most shocked.
Bai Lao and Xu Hualan remained relatively calm, because Bai Qianmo had accidentally revealed her true identity before, and both Bai Lao and Xu Hualan knew that she was the famous painter Ye Bai.
So whatever commotion this girl makes now, they can still accept it calmly.
Bai Kangcheng and Xu Hualan were husband and wife. Although he returned late, Xu Hualan had discussed the recent events in the Bai family with him in detail, so he knew some of the inside information.
The shock felt by Bai Kangyan, Han Songyan, Bai Luoyu, Bai Xiruo, and Bai Yitang was akin to the intensity of an atomic nuclear explosion.
In their eyes, Bai Qianmo was always someone who grew up in a small town, was uneducated, ill-mannered, and had a strange and difficult personality to get along with. Especially Han Songyan, her biological mother, looked down on this daughter from the bottom of her heart. She always felt that Bai Qianmo was a sludge in her perfect life, filthy and would taint her soul.
But today, it's my daughter, whom I've always looked down on, wearing a necklace that costs tens of millions.
Where did she get so much money?
Although the old man is wealthy, he can't possibly let Bai Qianmo spend so extravagantly, can he?
As everyone was in shock, Rossel politely looked at Nie Siqi and asked, "Miss, did you break the necklace?"
"I...no...it wasn't me..."
Bai Yitang curled his lips and scoffed, "Sister Siqi, all of us over a hundred people are eyewitnesses."
Bai Luoyu put his hand on Bai Yitang's shoulder and chuckled mischievously: "Yitang, you forgot a few zeros. Our upright, courageous, and truth-seeking female reporter is broadcasting live."
