A Billion-Rich Woman Was Chased

Chapter 98

“You… Are you kidding me?”

“This painting was bought by me from Anderson Group Auction House. How could it be a fake?” Grace was furious.

With one sentence, Anderson Group was dragged into it.

“Miss Brown, I’m afraid you rarely participate in auctions. You don’t know the market of auctions, right?” Vincent couldn’t help but sneer.

*Our Anderson Group’s BR is the largest auction house in the country. The items that we have collected have all been carefully screened and evaluated. It is impossible for there to be fakes. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what’s good for you. Don’t ruin our Anderson family’s reputation.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Joseph’s eyes darkened.

Raya’s slight smile and unfathomable expression came to mind as he remembered the charity auction, when she had enticed Grace to buy the imitation for ten times its price.

Could it be that she already expected that Grace would give this painting as a gift to her grandfather?

Was it a coincidence, or was she setting a trap for Grace from the very beginning?

“Miss Brown, counterfeit and imitation are two different things.”

At this moment, another antique expert stepped forward to speak on behalf of the Anderson Group, saying, “Even though some of these paintings are replicas, they’re still authentic artifacts. Take for

instance, many painters from the Qing dynasty who carefully copied artworks from the Tang and Song dynasties. Can you really say these aren’t historical artifacts?”

Making a top-notch imitation can be quite challenging, yet it can fetch a high price if done well.

It’s just that… your painting is slightly inferior. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to see the problem immediately.

“It can’t be an imitation. How can it be an imitation I spent ten million to buy this from Medo Auction Center!” Grace was so anxious that her face turned pale and she blurted out!

Ten million’ How could she only buy a fake? Was she stupid?

The crowd burst into laughter

Skyler hid in the crowd and covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing

This slap came really quickly!

“Ten million? This painting is only worth one million. Miss Brown spent such a high price to buy it. I can only say that you have really made a great contribution to charity.”

Grace’s mind trembled and her vision went black.

Even Aubree couldn’t bear to continue watching. She only felt embarrassed and turned away. She didn’t want to stand up for this niece who was incompetent.

“Forget it, forget it. No matter how valuable it is, this is Miss Brown’s generosity.”

Although Rory looked down on Grace, he was still an elder. He wouldn’t make a fuss about the painting, so he said casually, “Secretary Webb, take the painting.”

“Raya! What grudge do I have with you? Why do you want to harm me like this”?

Suddenly, Grace looked at Chloe with red eyes and angrily questioned her.

She had been mocked and wronged since the birthday banquet, and now she could not help but explode.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Chloe.

Chloe frowned slightly and blinked her eyes innocently. “I harmed you… Miss Brown, why did you say so? I really don’t know what you are talking about.”

Oscar and Vincent were both stunned.

The bitchiness was so obvious! Was this the legendary method of using magic to defeat magic?

“It was you who plotted against me! If it weren’t for you, how could I have wasted ten million on this fake? It’s all your fault!”

“Although I don’t know how to identify treasures, you must know that there is something wrong with this painting!” Grace pointed at her innocent face and was so angry that her sound was hoarse.

“But even so, you still raised the price and lured me to bid for this painting! How can you do this?”

Joseph pursed her thin lips until they were white. He looked at Chloe coldly, and his eyes were cold.

“Lure? What are you talking about? When did I induce you?” Chloe’s eyes flickered as if she had been frightened.

“Miss Brown, the auction is a public auction. Everyone can compete freely with their strength.” Oscar stood up to protect his sister.

“If you don’t want to bid. can Raya force you to buy it? Isn’t everything your personal behavior?”

“When Raya saw that I want this painting, she would maliciously compete with me! As long as I raised the card, she would follow! She raised the price of one million to nine million!”

“When I shouted out the cost of ten million, Grace fumed, “she abruptly ceased bidding. Was this not an attempt to entice me to bid and swindle me into buying a counterfeit at an exorbitant price?”

“Hey, let’s get to the bottom of it. If it’s not a counterfeit, it’s a replica. These are two different things!” Vincent couldn’t help but interrupted.

“If she really wanted this painting, why didn’t she bid with me? She didn’t really want to buy it. She just wanted to trick me!”

The look on everyone’s face became complex.

“Aiya! Could it be that this Miss Lewis was angry because she divorced Mr. Sawle, so she secretly plotted against Miss Brown?”

“That can’t be. The marriage had already ended. What’s the point of fussing over this? On the contrary, it seems to be narrow-minded.”

“Why is it meaningless? That’s Mr. Sawle, a person who is favored by the heavens! If the duck in her hand flies away, it will definitely be difficult to calm down!”

“At first glance, she appears very serious, but her heart is full of turmoil! Despite her intelligence, she can only think of men! This is not becoming!”

The surrounding criticism continued, making Grace feel great!

“Miss Lewis, did you really do this?” Jake furrowed his thick eyebrows and looked at Chloe seriously.

Rory looked deeply at Chloe, waiting for her answer.

“Miss Brown, you really misunderstood me.”

Chloe took a step forward. Her beautiful face was now filled with grievances, which made her look even more pitiful. “I was the one who bid for this painting first. You saw me bid and followed behind me.”

“It was me who liked this painting. In addition, I also wanted to make a contribution to charity, so I raised the price from the beginning and wanted to win it.”

“Mr. Sawle and Mr. Anderson, who were present then, could attest to my innocence.”

Everyone, there was a reversal!

“You…!” Grace was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.

“I can prove this point!”

Vincent sprang to his feet, exclaiming, “Wasn’t it Miss Lewis who first proposed the price? Miss Brown then followed suit. She had her eye on this painting, so it should be hers, shouldn’t it?”

Joseph’s eyes, as deep as the abyss, flashed on Vincent’s face.

Why are you everywhere?”

“My original intention was to buy this painting as a collection. Because Grandpa’s book room had the authentic work of this painting, I liked it in my heart, so even if it was a copy, I did not hesitate to take it”

“After all, seeing this painting, I can think of the days when I get along with Grandpa.”

Chloe pursed her lips and lowered her long eyelashes helplessly. “But at that time, Miss Brown also seemed to want this painting. Jdid have a few rounds of competition with her, but in the end, I held the principle that a gentleman does not steal people’s Tove, and gave up the auction…”

“I don’t comprehend what I did wrong. Miss Brown is saying such things to me… If you’re feeling unsettled in your heart. I can compensate for this painting to make amends for your loss,”

The direction of the wind was ever-changing!

Chloe’s eyes were like water, as if they were filled with sparkling tears. Her superb acting skills were even more convincing!

Joseph tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on her clear eyes, and his breath grew cold.

Just like that, he looked at her silently, ‘continued to act!”

“You you…”

Grace’s face was red from holding back her anger. Just as she was about to flip out, Aubree hurriedly walked over and secretly pinched her. She was in pain for a moment, but she was immediately stunned and almost embrassed herself in front of everyone!

“Haha… It’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding. Dad, Grace usually lives in seclusion and rarely attends such occasions. She rarely participates in such occasions. It’s just that she buys whatever others buy. Her original intention is to be filial to you…

Aubree frowned and looked at Grace. “Your mother has something urgent at home. She just called you. Hurry up and call her back. Don’t make her anxious. Go quickly.”

Grace gritted her teeth and left dejectedly.

Rory frowned for a moment and held Chloe’s hand. “Child, you are also the same. If you like it, just tell me. If you want, how can I not give it to you?”

What about the authentic works of the Song Dynasty? If you want a terracotta soldier, grandpa will get one for you! As long as Raya like it, grandpa will not hesitate!

“Thank you grandpa. It is enough to have your love. I don’t lack anything. I don’t need anything.” Chloe pinched his grandpa’s hand and smiled sweetly.

This time, everyone finally understood.

Mr. Sawle had indeed divorced Miss Lewis.

However, it seemed that they had not completely divorced yet!

That Miss Brown definitely had no chance!
