Vina's face instantly pale. Jason ran away and said, "Oh no! Why did you send the dish? Is it because you don't have the money to buy antiques? That's not possible."
Jason thought that Justin should be rich because Justin gave him eleven million dollars without hesitation. Besides, didn't Jihan say that her stuff was Justin's? Justin could afford to buy antiques.
"Money?" sneer Justin, "No matter how much money someone has, he can't buy this dish." He intentionally raised his voice.
"Don't brag. How can there be food like you mentioned? How can you make it? You're such an idiot!" competitor No. 1, Camden Hack arrogantly. Others also mocked Justin.
"Alright, stop!" Before Justin refuted, Zaid, president of the Weston Chamber of Commerce, who hosted the event, said, "Now, let's start from No. 1. Based on your order, you can show everyone the gifts you prepared for Mr. Webster."
At that moment, the audience was waiting for him.
Camden, as the first, opened the delicate gift box and carefully took out the items inside.
Whahuh?
Seeing the gift from Camden, the crowd broke out. They simply felt they would not be able to open their eyes because the gift was so sparkling.
"This is an emerald green jade statue from ancient times. One kilogram across. Five years ago, my father bought it at a high price at an auction in another city. The current market price is around seventeen million dollars. Today, I'll give it to Mr. Webster as a gift. I hope Mr. Webster will lead a healthy and happy life in the future."
Then, Camden placed the gift onto the main table with both hands. Gilbert praised him and smiled so happily. Soon, a few big men from Weston came to check on the prize.
"In their opinion, it's genuine!" The audience clapped loudly.9 points, 9 points, 9 points, 10 points, 8 points, 9 points, and 8 points. The jury immediately assessed Camden's gift.
It made Vina's face paled. The score is too high! That means it's probably going to be a bigger chance of Gilbert being chosen. It makes Vina want to end her life because she refuses to live life as Camden's wife.
Camden returned to her seat happily and boasted to Justin, "You will never be able to afford it even if you work your whole life."
"You don't buy it with your own money. Don't be too proud of yourself. If you leave your family, maybe no one will accept you to work. You'll starve to death on the streets" Justin sneered.
"You..." Camden laughs. "Don't be jealous. I was born into a rich family, but you were born in a slum. You can't change it. Even if I don't work for a day, I have a lot of money." Justin sneered, "Let's see how you look. Just look at it later." Camden laughs at Justin. And so do other competitors.
"Do we need to show off our strength in front of you? Even if we do, then what? You have to be strong enough to laugh at us, don't you?" Competitor No. 2, Dario looked down on Justin and opened his gift box.
Whahuh? The audience was surprised again. "This is an ancient plate from a dynasty long ago. Last year, my father bought it at an overseas auction for seventeen million dollars. I hope Mr. Webster will be young forever and long live!" Dario put it on the main table.
"According to the experts, it is also original. Rare and high value." 9 points, 10 points, 10 points, 9 points, 9 points, 9 points, and 9 points. The judges gave their assessment. Vina almost fainted. Its value was even more terrifying than the first one! "Mr Kirby, congratulations!"
"Your grades are very high."
"Mr Kirby is the son of a wealthy family in the financial industry of Silvia City. He's very generous."
Dario returned to his seat. Other than Justin, all of his competitors sighed. They seemed to congratulate, but they were jealous half to death. That meant Dario would win in this round.
"Come, guys! First, use your prize to beat Justin. So that he is not interested in competing in the next round and getting out of this competition." Dario smiled as he looked at Justin contemptuously.
"I'm not sure that my score will be higher than the two of you, but I'm confident to beat Justin easily." Jacob, a No. 3 contender, gave Justin a thumbs-down gesture and opened his long, smooth box.
"This is the original work of one of the four most talented painters of the previous dynasty. This is a painting of a tiger roaring on a mountain. Two years ago, my father and I bought it at a high price at an auction in the same town that Camden had been to. Now, I'm giving it to Mr. Webster as a gift. I hope Mr. Webster lives a happy life!" Jacob put it to the main table.
A group of experts immediately came up with magnifying glasses to inspect it.
Fifteen minutes later. "After the examination of the experts, this is genuine!" The audience clapped loudly.9 points, 9 points, 8 points, 8 points, 9 points, 8 points, 8 points, and 9 points. Experts give a score.
Jacob returned to his seat and proudly said, "I wonder if you are afraid or not. You'll be far behind us. Before it's your turn to give your gift, you should pick it up and leave. Otherwise, you'll be embarrassed when you don't get grades later."
Justin nodded and sighed. He pointed at Jacob's nose and said softly, "You forced me to do it. Therefore, I will make you lose your dignity here."
Justin walked to the host table with his hands behind his back. All eyes were on Justin at the time. "Did you all hear it? Justin wanted to embarrass me. He's very poor. How did he succeed?" Jacob laughed so hard.
"Justin, what are you doing? Get back in your chair and don't fuck around." Vina realized Gilbert's face was turning dark. His heart beat faster and winked at Justin, who had arrived at the main table.
Justin smiled and pointed at the gift of a tiger painting roaring in the mountain. "That's fake. It's not the original work of a famous painter." Everyone shut up and glanced at Justin as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Basic! How dare you say that it's fake? You, poor fellow from the slums, do you know what antiques are? Do you know what an original work is?" Jacob scolded Justin. Jacob not only ran to Justin, but he also wanted to beat Justin up.
"Dr. Aerospace, I've heard about your medical skills. I'd like to take the time to see you in the next two days, so I have no doubt about your medical skills. Antiques are not patients. You can't see it and conclude that it's fake. You must have proof. Moreover, our experts have examined it. From the perspective of the painting, it was an original work," said an elder.
