My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice.

The speaker was a chubby middle-aged man in a pristine suit. He carried himself with some charisma.

"It's him! It's the King of Jewels, Dennis Copper!" someone cried out upon recognizing the man.

It was clear that Dennis was someone who was very well-known.

"The King of Jewels!" Luna was taken aback.

Dennis was a big shot in the jewelry business in Hattan and indubitably its top jewel magnate.

His jewelry business had reached every corner of the country, and he had stores everywhere. That was why he was called the King of Jewels.

Dennis was a very important person in Hattan, with a high standing in their society.

Dennis was the leading authority when it came to jewels.

"I can tell with just a glance whether a jewel is fake. Since we have such a lively crowd here, how about I authenticate that for myself?" Dennis said with a smile.

"Mr. Copper, this is a piece of junk that costs only ten dollars. How can we bother you with such a thing?" Luna said sycophantically. "There's no need to authenticate it. Anyone can see it's a fake."

Dennis looked at her coldly.

"Do you think you can dictate what I choose to authenticate?" he said icily.

The smile on Luna's face went stiff.

She did not understand why Dennis was being so tough on her when she was only trying to suck up to him.

This was the first time she had met him. So, they did not have any grudges between them.

Dennis took a few steps forward and approached Simone.

"Miss Simone, would you please take the necklace off so that I can look at it?" he asked her politely.

Luna's expression shifted between anger and confusion.

Did Dennis have a few screws loose in his head? Why was he so nice to Simone but treated her like dirt?

"You're..." Simone was stunned for a moment.

She recognized Dennis as one of the people who had come to welcome them at Skyler's villa.

She did not know at that time that Dennis was Lovellia's famous King of Jewels!

He had said that his business was a small one when they met. He also treated her family with great politeness.

Simone was surprised. This meant that the other people she had met there were all important as well.

Who was Dustin, really? Why did so many important people come to welcome him?

"Miss Simone, may I?" Dennis asked again.

"Uh... Sure." Simone came back to herself and removed her necklace. She handed it to Dennis.

After he accepted it on a piece of red silk, Dennis's face turned serious He took out some professional tools used for authentication and started examining the necklace

meticulously.

"You can't be serious. It's just a flea market fake. Do you need to go to such trouble?" Luna complained in annoyance. She even felt that

Dennis's title was undeserved.

"If you don't know anything, kindly shut up!" Dennis snapped at her impatiently.

Luna looked angry, but she did not dare to retort. She knew that she could not afford to offend Dennis.

Dennis took the examination very seriously. After a long while, he put his things away with a solemn face.

"I never imagined that..." he said in surprise as he shook his head.

"Didn't I say it was a fake? What was the point of wasting so much time?" Luna said mockingly once again.

"Who said it's fake?" Dennis glared at her.

"How can it not be fake?" Luna's expression became even more distasteful. There was no way the necklace was the real deal.

"There's no way Simone's fiance could afford the real thing. Even if he worked himself ragged for the next eight hundred years, he won't be able to afford it!"noveldrama

Dennis's expression turned chilly.

"Who do you think you are? You don't have the right to say such a thing when I'm here." Dennis's words made Luna freeze on the spot.

Her heart pounded in her chest from indignity. She did not understand why Dennis had it out for her.

"Well, then, tell me if I'm wrong." Luna was miffed.

"After my extensive professional examination, I can confirm that the 108 diamonds on this necklace are of the highest quality. Each of them is worth tens of millions," Dennis said loudly.
