Chapter 277: We Made the Report
Ivy put her hands in her pockets and said, "To tell you the truth, those pearl clams were raised by my nine brothers in the countryside. They not only raised pearl clams, but also many fish and shrimp. However, the pearl clams my brothers raised were just ordinary ones.
The so-called colorful pearl clams are only a type of organism recorded in history, and they have been extinct for fifty million years. So far, there has been no trace of them found. The reason why the experts said this was just to go along with me and let everyone see someone's true colors.
Haven't you noticed? As soon as the experts say that my clam shell is a colorful pearl clam, someone immediately claims that it is her family heirloom. But when the experts say that my clam shell is just an ordinary one, she says, 'The Ashford family is wealthy and influential. Why would I scam you for a worthless piece of junk? I don't want these worthless things even if you give them to me!'
Haha, she tries every possible means to extort money when she hears it is an antique, but as soon as she hears that it needs to be handed over to the country, she pushes it onto me. Up until now, can't you all see what kind of person this old lady really is?"
After hearing this, the journalists immediately went to interview the four experts, asking, "Is it true that you said the clam shell is a colorful pearl clam just to go along with Ivy?"
"We... we..." The four experts hesitated and didn't know what to say.
In fact, they were invited by Fiona to appraise the clam shell and initially saw that it was just an ordinary clam shell. But when they looked at it for the second time, it was indeed the shell of a colorful pearl clam.
Now Ivy suddenly claimed in front of everyone that it was just an ordinary clam shell. What on earth was going on?
The first expert wanted to clarify things and asked Ivy, "Can you show me your clam shell again?"
"Sure, you can have it. Anyway, my brothers raise so many pearl clams in the countryside that we can't even count them. We send hundreds of sacks of clam shells to the feed factory every year." Ivy said and decisively took out the clam shell from her pocket and handed it to the archaeologist.
This time, the experts carefully and cautiously examined it, and they were one hundred percent certain that it was the shell of an ordinary pearl clam.
The fourth expert suspiciously looked at Ivy's pocket and asked, "Do you have clam shells in the other pocket too?"
"Yes!" Ivy generously took them out, and there were seven or eight pieces of ordinary clam shell fragments in each pocket.
After taking out the clam shells, Ivy turned her pockets inside out to show everyone that her pockets were empty.
In fact, she only brought one piece of the real colorful pearl clam shell today. When she put her hands in her pockets, she had crushed it into powder.
Until all the procedures are complete, she will never bring out the real colorful pearl clam shell again. The reason she brought one piece today was to dispel everyone's thoughts about the colorful pearl clam, using Fiona's mouth.
Now that her goal has been achieved, it's time for this old lady to claim her lunch box.
After carefully examining all the clam shells, the experts were shocked by the fact that they were all ordinary clam shells.
Fiona angrily interrogated the four experts, "What Ivy said...
Is that true? Are you all conspiring with her to bully me? Have you forgotten? Who invited you here today? You deliberately tried to humiliate me like this and still expect me to pay as agreed? Not a chance!"
The four experts silently retreated to a corner, not saying a word.
At this moment, several police officers walked in with righteous looks on their faces.
The captain of the police asked, "Who called the police? What exactly happened?"
Fiona and Hailey stepped forward at the same time, but before they could speak, Ivy and Alexander eagerly answered, "We called the police!"
Everyone's gaze shifted to the two of them, completely unaware of why they would say such a thing.
"Why did you call the police? Was there a dispute?" the police captain asked.
"It's not just a dispute, it's a major case. Twenty years ago, the Ashford family had a massive homicide where multiple people died!" Alexander said indignantly.
