“What are you saying?!” Rosalind was furious. The smile on her face stiffened. “I bought this painting


    from the Hoffmans’ Auction House. How could it be a fake?!”


    She dragged the Hoffmans into the water with one sentence.


    Ryan could not help but sneer. “Ms. Gold, you rarely attend auctions, so you don’t know how they work,


    right? My family’s tinum Auction House is thergest auction house in the country. The items we


    collect have been strictly screened and appraised. We don’t sell any fakes. If you don’t know the


    goods, don’t nder my family’s reputation.”


    Justin’s eyes darkened.


    He remembered Anna’s sly smile at that charity auction when she provoked Rosalind into buying the


    replica at ten times the market price.


    Did Anna already expect Rosalind to give this painting to Grandpa as a birthday gift? Was it a


    coincidence, or did Anna set a trap for Rosalind from the beginning?


    “Ms. Gold, fakes and replicas are two different things.”


    At this time, another expert appraiser came forward to speak for Ryan. “Although some paintings are


    replicas, they are indeed historical pieces. Many painters liked to copy paintings by famous


    Renaissance artists, but their works still hold significant historical value. It also takes superb skills to


    copy a painting. A top-quality replica can still be sold at a very high price. But the replica you bought is


    a little inferior. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to see the difference at a nce.”


    “It can’t be a replica! How can it be a replica?! I spent $10 million to buy this from tinum Auction


    House!” Rosalind blurted out in a panic.


    Rosalind spent $10 million on a replica. How could she be so stupid?


    There were bursts ofughter all around.


    Bethany hid in the crowd and covered her mouth to prevent herself fromughing.


    This p in the face came so quickly.


    “$10 million? This painting is only worth $1 million. Ms. Gold, I can only say that you’ve made a sizable


    donation at the charity auction if you’ve spent ten times the amount for this piece.”


    Rosalind’s head was pounding, and her eyes darkened.


    Even Shannon could not stand it any longer. She just felt embarrassed and turned away. She did not


    want to stand up for her niece, who proved to be a failure.


    “Forget it. No matter how much it’s worth, it’s still a gift from the heart.


    Although Nigel did not like Rosalind, he was an elder and did not care about the painting. He said


    calmly, “Matt, please keep the painting.


    “Anna! What do you have against me that you want to embarrass me like this?!”

    Suddenly, Rosalind turned to Be, harshly using her.


    Be was ridiculed and wronged the moment she stepped foot onto the venue. At this moment, she


    could not hold back any longer.


    Everyone was shocked and looked at Be.


    Be frowned slightly and blinked her bright eyes innocently. “How did I embarrass you? Ms. Gold,


    where did thise from? I really don’t know what you are talking about.”


    Asher and Ryan were shocked to see this.


    Wow, was Be fighting fire with fire?


    “You plotted against me! If it weren’t for you, why would I have spent $10 million to buy this replica? It’s


    all because of you!”


    Rosalind pointed at Be’s innocent face and shouted in a hoarse voice, “I don’t know how to appraise


    paintings, and you must know that there is something wrong with this painting! But you still raised the


    price and tricked me into buying this painting! How could you do this?!”


    Justin pursed his thin and pale lips. He looked at Be coldly.


    “Tricked you? What are you talking about? How did I trick you?” Be blinked her bright eyes, looking


    like a frightened doe.


    Asher immediately stood up to defend his sister. He slighted Rosalind. “Ms. Gold, the auction. was held


    openly, and everyone canpete freely based on their financial capabilities. If you didn’t bid for the


    painting, how could Anna force you to buy it? Isn’t this your own doing?” “Anna saw that I wanted this


    painting, so she resorted to maliciouspetition! As long as I raised the paddle, she would follow suit.


    She raised the price from $1 million to $9 million! When I asked for $10 million, she suddenly stopped


    bidding. Isn’t this tricking me into buying a fake at a high price?!” Rosalind questioned her angrily.


    “Hey, let’s make it clear. It’s not a fake, but a replica. These are two different things!” Ryan could not


    help but interject.
