The Ultimate Husband

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 53 – Elsa Lyndon furrowed her brows as she

stood at the side.

Even though she seldom talked to Darryl, she was still a member of the Lyndon Family. If Darryl were to

make a fool of himself, would she not be embarrassed as well?

When Kingston realized the identity of that young man, and after a brief moment of stupor, he said, ” Aren’t you the Lyndon family’s son-in-law?”

Before he could continue, Yvonne interrupted softly, ”Dad, he is the honorary antique appraiser I hired!”

‘What?’!’

Everyone tried to stifle their giggles. ‘What? He is a reputable antique appraiser? More like famous trash.

The Lyndon family can’t wait to get rid of him because he is useless! And Yvonne made him the honorary

antique appraiser? That’s funny!’

Kingston sighed as he stared at Darryl. Then he nodded and did not say anything else.

The Young family’s properties had fallen under the management of Yvonne Young. She had done an

excellent job. ‘Since my daughter hired this young man, I guess he must be a talented man?’ Even

though Darryl’s name was dragged through the mud in Donghai City, Kingston believed in his daughter.

With Kingston’s consent, Darryl stepped forward and scrutinized the porcelain vase!

Everyone else was silent.

However, the atmosphere was obviously different than before that.

When Kingston appraised the vase, everyone waited respectfully. However, at that moment, they watch

Darryl like he was a clown.

An honorary antique appraiser?

‘Yvonne Young is still too green. She must have believed the young man because of what had happened

last time.’

‘Well, let’s wait and see how he embarrasses himself.’

The other antique store owners had the same thoughts.

Yvonne, on the other hand, waited anxiously.

She thought that Darryl was overconfident about the situation. ‘Why would he want to look at it again

after my father had appraised it?’

‘My dad would definitely blame it on me if he were to make a blunder.’

Darryl studied the vase carefully for a few seconds. Then he suddenly reached out and stroked the

porcelain vase a few times.

“What are you doing? Can you afford to pay for it if you were to break it?” The bald man scowled, and he

told Darryl off quickly.

The other antique store owners also shook their heads disapprovingly.

‘That young man obviously doesn’t know anything.’

To appraise porcelain, one might have to rely on the ‘look, listen, compare, and feel’ technique. One

could listen to the porcelain by tapping the porcelain lightly to distinguish its body. It was deemed

unprofessional to s****e the surface like Daryl had done.

However, Kingston narrowed his eyes slightly.

Darryl’s action might seem random or on a whim, but it looked like he had paid great attention to the detail.

‘Where have I seen such a unique method of identification?’

Suddenly, Darryl stopped his action and put the porcelain vase to his ear to listen quietly.

After that, Darryl put the item down and looked at Yvonne. “How much does he want for this?”

The bald man immediately said, “rive hundred thousand bucks, and not a penny less.”

‘Only half a million bucks?’

Darryl smiled stealthily. Then he turned to Yvonne and said confidently, “Buy it!”

When Darryl learned antique appraisal with a master of Chinese studies, he had majored in porcelain.

The porcelain vase was top quality in terms of its glaze and texture, as Kingston described, but its shape

was somewhat peculiar.

That was why Darryl was a little confused initially, but soon, he discovered some soil stuck at the bottom

of the vase. The soil had a musty odor of mold. That affirmed Darryl’s guess that the vase must be an

ancient artifact that had just been unearthed.

That was right! The ancient artifact had only just been unearthed!

Before Yvonne could react to Darryl’s claim, someone in the crowd laughed. Then, everyone joined in a

fit of laughter.

“Oh, that’s too funny! Hey, young man, do you really think that you are an appraiser?”

“And you even said that it is worth half a million bucks? This thing probably only cost a few thousand

bucks, at most.”

“That’s right. Manager Young said that it was fake. Why are you pulling a funny act here?”

Amidst the laughter and ridicule, Yvonne’s complexion turned ugly. Kingston shook his head in

disappointment.

They must have thought that he would have a different perspective, but he seemed to have arrived at his

conclusion too soon.
