Chapter 149
Someone asked curiously, “What kind of treasure you have?”
Ruth could not be bothered with these people. When she saw the people from the production team, she went forward and as Which one of you has the most
say? Who has good taste?”
This was the first time the production team had seen such a bold woman. They looked at each other. In the end, a man in his thirties in a suit said, “Madam, what’s the item?”
Ruth immediately frowned. “Who are you? You’re so young. Who are you to talk? I want to see the appraiser your production team has. I’ll only talk to him.”
The production team immediately became anxious. The director immediately tugged at Ruth. “Madam, this is our appraiser. You’ve probably never heard of his name, madam. Although he’s young, his family owns the oldest appraisal shop in Kranson City. If you ask around the auction houses in Kranson City, everyone knows of Greg Moore. It was not easy for our production team to invite him.”
Ruth was stunned when she heard the name. She did not expect to offend the appraiser right away. She immediately put on a smile and said, “Sir, don’t be angry. Sorry for being stupid and blind.”
Greg sized up the woman in front of him coldly. She was indeed quite stupid. As Matthew’s ex–mother–in–law, Greg did not know what she had done to offend Matthew to the point that even Matthew wanted to take revenge on her.
Otherwise, with Matthew’s generous personality, this woman could easily live a good life with whatever Matthew offered.
When Greg thought of the purpose of his visit, he controlled his temper. He planned to follow Matthew’s instructions and… put on a good show with this woman. “Madam, since you brought a rare item, please enter the recording studio first.”
Seeing that the appraiser was not angry and was even polite, Ruth smiled and immediately carried the package into the recording studio.

Chapter 149
Ruth placed the p
package on the black satin table in the middle. The host asked her to open the package. She first untied the rough cloth on the outside, only to reveal an old shoe box inside.
This was the first time the host had seen such a strange thing. She couldn’t help but ask, “Madam, did you take the wrong item?”
Ruth said, “What do you know? This is a rare 1. jealous. That is why I put it in a shoe box.”
are. If others see it, they will be
The host was rendered speechless. What was even more speechless was that Ruth wanted to chase her away, saying that she had ill intentions toward the treasure.
When Greg saw this, he could only ask the host to wait outside. Then, he said, “Madam, there are only the two of us in this room now. Can I look at your treasure now?”
Ruth nodded. “Yes. They all say that you’re amazing. Since that’s the case, you must see if this is worth anything.” She opened the shoe box and removed the lid of the red wooden box. Only then did the gold vase inside finally appear.
Even though Ruth had seen Marcus’s certificate of authentication and felt that it was definitely valuable, she could not help but recall Matthew’s meaningful words before he left. She could not help but feel uncertain, so she wanted someone to help her.
Greg, who was sitting still just now, suddenly stood up and frowned. “Well…”
Ruth was instantly frightened. She was secretly nervous. She wondered if she was cheated. She thought, ‘Is the gold vase not worth 17.6 thousand dollars? From what the production team said, this appraiser is very good. He wouldn’t lie. Could it be. As Ruth’s heart stuttered anxiously, Greg suddenly slammed his hand on the table
“The quality of this vase is superb. It looks like it is at least 300 years old. This vas is worth at least a million dollars,” Greg announced.
“What? A million dollars?” Ruth was stunned by the amount.
“Sir, can there be a mistake?” Although a million dollars was a sum Ruth did not even dare to dream of, she remembered that Marcus said this vase was only wort! 17.6 thousand dollars.

“It can’t be wrong. This vase is a top–notch artifact found in the antique market. I value is judged wrongly previously.” Greg couldn’t bear to part with it. He kept. playing with the gold vase. At last, he said luntly. Tadam, why don’t you sell the vase to me for a million dollars?”
“Really?” Ruth asked.
“Of course,” Greg said.
Greg immediately took out his phone and transferred 400 thousand dollars to Ruth. “I only have 400 thousand dollars in cash. It is a deposit. Give me half an hour. I’ll go to the bank to transfer 600 thousand dollars to you later. Then you give me the vase.”
If Ruth didn’t dare to believe it just now, she had to believe it when she saw the 400 thousand dollars in her account. And the vase was worth a million dollars.
“Alright. I’ll wait for you here.” Ruth grinned from ear to ear. She had never seen much money before.
It seemed that Marcus had really picked up a bargain when he bought the item. However, Ruth had to hide it from him. Otherwise, if Marcus heard that the gol vase was sold for a million dollars, he would want to split the money.
Ruth then thought that it was right for her to sever ties with Valerie. Valerie brought nothing but bad luck to the family. Now that Valerie left, her luck had changed. If she had known earlier, she would not have agreed to let Valerie stay..
Ruth waited nervously for more than 20 minutes. There was a series of footsteps outside the door. Greg had finally returned.
After waiting a long time, Greg transferred the remaining 600 thousand dollars t Ruth. Ruth looked at the additional million dollars in her account and counted it several times. Only then did she finally dare to believe that everything was true. She was really lucky.
As Ruth was about to leave happily, Greg’s face suddenly darkened. He sneered. “Madam, do you know it’s illegal to secretly exchange fake goods for profit?”
