Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty novel Chapter 473

"Even if it was hers, Mr. Guzman, she's our daughter! What's hers is ours!" Diana refused to back down.

"In the afternoon, I was there in the shop the whole time. When Ms. Henderson was paying for the snuff box, I remember clearly that you two strongly questioned her decision to make that purchase, and you loudly declared that the purchase would have nothing to do with you. You said she shouldn't dream that you would compensate her with the money. Am I right?

"Since you already told Ms. Henderson that the snuff box has nothing to do with you, the relic she found from that same snuff box would naturally have nothing to do with you as well, right?"

After Jose was done, the other experts looked at Harold and Diana with disdain.

If it really was like what Jose had said, Harold and Diana were being extremely unreasonable.

Diana's face flushed under everyone's gazes, but she was still defiant in finding an excuse for herself. "I was just too angry! After she bought the snuff box, I'll be sure to compensate her for the money she paid—"

"If you can afford to compensate her, why didn't you just pay for the snuff box in the first place?" Jose's demeanor grew colder. He really didn't like the way Harold and Diana spoke.

"Mr. Guzman, I respect you for being a reputable expert, but you don't understand our family dynamics. You don't know my daughter well!" Diana was fuming.

"She has been a lazy, unmotivated girl since she was young, and she is a habitual liar. She spoke no truth at all. Before that, to claim the martyr's relic for herself, she claimed to have prepared an antique that was worth more than the relic, but it turned out to be just a shabby box.

"If we don't teach her a lesson, who would?"

"An antique worth more than the relic?" Jose and the group of old men were suddenly very interested in the antique Diana mentioned.

"Can you show us that antique piece please?"

"I think you shouldn't waste your time, Mr. Guzman. It's just a normal artifact. It's not an antique," Diana replied contemptuously.

"It's fine. I want to see it."

Once Jose was done, Alice, who couldn't wait to watch the world burn, ran into the living room and brought out the reliquary.

Wasn't that stupid box made of bronze?

Diana, Alice, and the rest were dumbfounded. They all had an incredulous look on their faces.

Harold seemed to have thought of something and he trembled in shock. He hesitated as he asked, "Mr. Guzman, is this really a reliquary?"

"Of course! According to its design, it also looked like it was made in 16th-century Espaynol. If I'm not mistaken, this reliquary should come together with that martyr's relic.

"Usually speaking, a relic would be worth more, but this reliquary is made of pure gold. If it was auctioned, the value of this reliquary would be way higher than the relic. Ms. Henderson was right for saying that this is an antique worth more than the martyr's relic."

Jose and the rest practically had their eyes glued on that reliquary. One of them had even started naming a price for it.

"I'll pay you 50 million dollars for this reliquary, Mr. Henderson. Would you be willing to part with this?"
