Helene saw Ken’s eyes light up as he caressed the rare piece of Renaissance art. The joy and excitement in his murmurs left her utterly astonished.
It was real!
The Renaissance piece that Gilmore had spent a fortune on at an antique store was not a fake.
She felt as if she was dreaming.
The other senior executives of the consortia and multinational corporation chairmen were all silenced, no longer daring to claim that Gilmore’s piece was counterfeit.
They also realized that the piece was real, but due to the rarity and preciousness of early Renaissance art, it was almost impossible to come by.
Moreover, the way Gilmore had casually kept it in a cardboard box had completely made it look like a fake. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Some among them, like Liam and David, who were prejudiced against Gilmore, had been stirring the pot.
Hence, they were inclined to believe that this hard–to–distinguish piece was a counterfeit
However, Ken’s affirmation of its authenticity had silenced them all.
They knew Ken’s passion for antiques, especially for Renaissance art, and his expertise even surpassed that of professional appraisers.
So, when Ken declared it to be real, it was almost certainly real.
Gilmore, with a smile, asked Ken, “Mr. Davis, now with this rare piece of Renaissance art in addition to the 13 billion dollars, do you think it’s a fair price for the shares in the mine?”
It took a moment for Ken to shift his gaze from the Renaissance piece before he looked at Gilmore, his face breaking into smile.” “Mr. Reed, it’s more than enough, absolutely enough
At these words, the faces of Kenji and Tatsuya changed slightly, as did the expressions of the others.
They never imagined that Gilmore would completely win over Ken with a piece of Renaissance art, persuading him to sell the mining shares.
Gilmore expressed his thanks to Ken, who chuckled.
“Gilmore, if anyone should be thankful, it’s me. I’ve longed to own a piece of early Renaissance art for decades.
“But such art is rare, especially from the early Renaissance period.
“Today, you’ve fulfilled my long–cherished wish, making my life complete.”
Hearing this, everyone present, including Kenji and Tatsuya, was convinced that the mining shares would belong to
Gilmore.
Gilmore modestly said, “Mr. Davis, it’s fate that brought this piece to you.
i Ij “It’s merely a reunion across centuries between this piece and its destined owner. I just happened to be the messenger”
Upon hearing this, Kenji and all the senior executives felt that Gilmore’s flattery was like a thunderstorm, shocking them to
the core!
Even Helene was dumbstruck. She never imagined that Gilmore could produce such astonishing flattery.
Although she also felt shocked by it, she had to admit that Gilmore’s level of flattery was extremely high.
It was nothing short of a romantically eloquent flattery.
However, although it shocked everyone, there was one person who loved it.
That person was Ken.
Not only did he love it, but he also felt cozy from within.
踏
Because, he thought the same way, that this rare piece of Renaissance art was meant for him,
Otherwise, why would it appear before him, becoming his treasure?
If this wasn’t a re–encounter spanning hundreds of years, then what was it
If he wasn’t its owner, then who was?.
Gilmore’s flattery really touched his heart.
So, Ken laughed heartily, his eyes twinkling with amusement. “Hahaha, Gilmore, I love what you said. It really touches my
heart,
“Let’s go upstairs to sign the contract for the mining shares!”
Gilmore smiled and replied, “Yes, Mr. Davis.”
Everyone was stunned. They thought, “Are they going to sign the contract for the mining shares now?
“Mr. Davis is not talking about raising the price anymore?”
Not to mention Kenji and others, but even Harrison was somewhat astonished.
But, since Ken had spoken, he didn’t dare to say much.
After all, in the Davis family, the real decision–maker was Ken.
“Caleb, take Mr. Suarez’s white jade bowl.” At this moment, Ken instructed Caleb, who was standing by his side,
Gilmore saw Caleb’s eyes somewhat lost as they gazed at Helene
So Ken called him a second time. “Caleb, take Mr. Suarez’s gifil
Then Caleb seemed to snap back to reality, and hastily replied to Ken, “Yes, Grandpa”
It was true. While everyone was chatting and being captivated by the rare piece of Renaissance art, this young master of the Davis family was captivated
He had long heard of Helene, known as the unrivaled beauty in the business city, dubbed ‘the rose of the business world”
Seeing the stunningly beautiful and unmatched Helene today, it could be said that he was deeply captivated in an instant.
So much so that his gaze never left Helene, which was why he didn’t hear Ken speaking to him.
Helene naturally noticed Caleb’s gaze fixed on her.
However, she found it unsurprising as her beauty tended to become the focal point of young men wherever she went
So, Caleb was just one of them.
Besides, even if Caleb had any feelings for her, she would automatically ignore them because her heart only had room for Gilmore.
She wouldn’t take it to heart at all.
Caleb picked up the exquisite box on the table containing the white jade bowl from the 18th century.
Everyone was curious as to why Ken only asked Caleb to take Kenji’s white jade bowl, but didn’t ask Caleb to also take the box containing the rare piece of Renaissance art.
Just then, Ken extended his hands and, with a reverence akin to that of a pilgrim at a holy shrine, carefully picked up the box containing the rare piece of
Then he, holding the box, accompanied by Gilmore, headed towards the villa staircase.
As everyone saw this, their eyeballs nearly dropped to the floor. They were all stunned.
Kenji’s face turned red, feeling utterly humiliated.
Ken had his grandson Caleb take his gifted white jade bowl, but didn’t take it away.
On the contrary, the rare piece of Renaissance art gifted by Gilmore, Ken cherished it so much that he personally carried it upstairs
The contrast was too striking.
Seeing other senior executives of the consortia all looking at him with sympathetic eyes, Kenji felt disheartened.
This priceless white jade bowl from the 18th century was gone, and the Davis Group’s mining shares were also gone.
Kenji felt that today was a very gloomy day.
About half an hour later, Ken’s joyful laughter came down from the staircase. “Gilmore, now you are a shareholder of the Davis Group. We are business parmers, looking forward to a pleasant cooperation?”
Ken, full of smiles, and Gilmore descended the staircase
Gilmore was holding a document. Undoubtedly, it was the Davis Group’s mine share agreement.
Gilmore smiled at Ken and said, “Looking forward to a pleasant cooperation”
Ken extended his hand to Gilmore. “Hahaha, we will definitely have a pleasant cooperation
Everyone seeing this knew that Ken and Gilmore had signed the contract and that the Davis Group’s mining shares hund fallen into Gilmore’s hands.
Then, all the senior executives, out of politeness, came forward to congratulate Gilmore.
Even Kemi, despite the coldness in his eyes, approached with a smile on his face and shook hands with Cillnore. “Mr. Reed, congratulations!”
Gilmore, looking at Kenji’s malicious smile, laughed from the heart. “Thank you!”
