As soon as Oliver saw Jason calling Mr. Jameson, he hurriedly reached out to stop him and said, “Dad, forget it. This snuff bottle looks delicate and good, so we can keep it for ourselves instead of selling it.” Jason frowned and said, “Why? Just sell it. Why should I keep the things that can earn more than 60,000
dollars? It is useless!”
As he spoke, he dialed the number according to the business card.
Oliver sighed in his heart. He didn’t want Jason to be in a bad mood. Even if he was fooled, he wouldn’t suffer much anyway, so Oliver tried his best not to hurt Jason.
But Jason wanted to make this phone call. However, after the number was dialed out and the phone was put on speakerphone, a sound came from his mobile phone, saying that it was an invalid number, and he should confirm before dialing again.
Jason was stunned for a moment. He carefully looked at the number on the business card to confirm that it was correct, and then he re-entered the number. This time, he read and dialed the numbers one by one according to the number on the card, which was definitely right.
But it still said that the number was invalid, and asked him to confirm before dialing.
“Huh? What’s wrong? The number on this business card is printed incorrectly?”
Jason didn’t think he was fooled. He just thought this number was misprinted when the business card was printed, so he immediately dialed the other mobile phone number instead of a fixed-line one.
Oliver thought, ‘Both are invalid. These people are definitely a shortsighted gang.
If they were a more sophisticated gang of cheaters, they wouldn’t just cheat for 600 dollars.
As Oliver believed, the number Jason dialed again was also invalid. He checked several times to confirm that there was no wrong number, but it was still in vain..
“Oh, what’s going on? Could it be Mr. Jameson print both the mobile phone number and landline number wrong?”
At this moment, Jason still thought his Mr. Jameson had misprinted the number and didn’t think he was a liar.
From the beginning to the end, he was only suspicious of the snuff bottle seller and the person who stopped him in the middle but totally believed Mr. Jameson.
Mr. Jameson’s appearance, temperament, and what he did all made Jason trust him.
Once Jason trusted someone, he won’t be suspicious of him.
After thinking for a while, Jason said to Oliver, “Oliver, since there’s nothing urgent after you come back, just go to the antique market with me. Mr. Jameson often strolls there. I will sell this snuff bottle when I see him.”
“Dad, you don’t need to go there.” Oliver persuaded Jason again, “It’s just a bottle worth several hundred dollars. Dad, I will supply you with the money. You can collect it for some years and sell it after it is more valuable.”
“No, I have to sell it.” Jason turned his head. At this time, he vaguely felt that his son and others thought he had been deceived, so he tried to sell it to prove he hadn’t been fooled.
Calista brought a plate of fruit slices over, glanced at Jason, and said, “You are so stubborn. Do you think you really have the same ability as your son? These days, you touched and looked at that bottle
during the day and night, regarding it as a treasure. In my mind, it is just a glass bottle, which is worth several dozen dollars at most, let alone more than 200,000 yuan. Only fools will buy it.”
“You…” Being blamed by his wife, Jason suddenly felt embarrassed. He pulled Oliver away and said, “Let’s go. Just see it, I will sell it out today. No one can stop me!”
Calista snorted and replied, “Let’s go. I’d like to see who would buy this trash!”
In fact, Calista didn’t think it was a big deal to spend 600 dollars. Although they used to be poor, 600 dollars was no more a big number for them since Oliver had earned more money in recent months. Oliver even saved more than 20 million dollars in cash for her, and gave her several hundred dollars for

living and petty expenses, thus 600 dollars was really nothing for them.
Calista just thought Jason couldn’t earn that money without Oliver’s vision and skills, so she didn’t believe the bottle was valuable..
Seeing that Jason really wanted to find Mr. Jameson, Oliver thought for a while and said seriously, “Dad, forget about it. To be honest, this snuff bottle is worthless. It’s just a modern handicraft, whose actual value is only dozens of dollars. Mom is right. Its material is glass, not jade stone.”
“Even you, Oliver… You don’t believe me?” Jason was very aggressive at the beginning, but Oliver’s words. made him weak!
He could refute others’ words, but Oliver made a fortune by his technique. He had earned more than one billion dollars in total through it. Since he said that the snuff bottle was fake, then it must be fake.
Oliver smiled bitterly and said, “Dad, don’t be mad. It’s just a few hundred dollars, equals to money for dinner. Don’t think too much about it. They are a gang of cheaters. Just learn the lesson and don’t fall for this in the future.”
Jason frowned and said, “I don’t think so. Mr. Jameson has a good temperament and is skilled in this field. How can he be a liar? And his assistant looks like a fairy in the painting. How could she be a liar?”
Oliver shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Dad, how can you tell if people are liars by their appearance? Since their numbers are invalid, I’m sure that they are a gang of liars.”
With great anger, Jason didn’t believe it at all, but he couldn’t find an excuse.
Calista sided with her son without any doubt. “Jason, have you lost your mind because of the disease? You even don’t believe your son’s words!”
Jason murmured, “I believe our son, but I just think Mr. Jameson…”
Oliver picked up his phone and showed the information he searched online to his father. “Dad, look, these are the presidents of the Association to Identify and Collect Cultural Relics in Clusia.”
Jason stared at it carefully for a while. There was only one president, but there were seven or eight vice presidents. He didn’t see any Mr. Jameson from beginning to end, and none of them looked like the one he met.
Oliver said, “Dad, Mr. Jameson isn’t among them at all. That man is a liar. Fortunately, you just spent 600 dollars.”
When Calista heard that her husband was really deceived, she suddenly shouted out with an angry face, “You Old Man. Is that funny? You are just a common person without your son’s special technique!NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Do you look down upon 600 dollars? Isn’t 600 dollars money? If your son hadn’t earned so much money back, you would have died!”
As soon as Oliver saw that Jason was so embarrassed, he hurriedly persuaded her, “Forget it. Mom, there’s no need to shout at Dad. It’s no big deal. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. I didn’t make this money overnight. I have been fooled many times before my skill has been developed slowly!”
