Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica)

Chapter 327

When Oliver heard that the painting was genuine, he did not question Marina again.

Jane also heard the news that Oliver was looking for a master appraiser to authenticate the painting.

She only hoped that the masters he had found were really capable.

Unfortunately, her hope was just hope.

Those people told Oliver that the painting that he had bought was the original.

Jane knew the origin of the fake that she put in clearly. She didn't know how those people who were

known as appraisal masters fooled people in the collection field.

The news that she had asked someone to spread on the Internet about the fake didn't work as well as

she wanted.

If she released the news again, Oliver would not believe it.

After all, so many people had been invited to authenticate it.

Jane thought that she could only personally contact Simon, which might help. However, she was well-

known in the art field.

Simon also saw her at the auction.

If she said that she wanted to see the original personally with an art-loving heart, it might make sense.

Jane called the Williams Group directly. Naturally, they had heard her name. It was their department

that was responsible for contacting Vivian to invite Jane back to Birmingham for the exhibition.

Simon was surprised to hear that Jane was looking for him.

He asked, "What can I do for you?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Did you take the Fox Mountain Residence? I just came to Birmingham and happened to meet it on

display, how could I miss the opportunity to see it personally? So, I want to ask you for help. Can you

let me enjoy it?"

Of course, Simon couldn't decide on his own. He had to ask Oliver about it.

He said, "Miss Kim, I'll ask if the painting has been transferred and reply to you later."

Simon immediately went to look for Oliver.

When Oliver heard that Jane wanted to see the original, he refused.

Simon knew that Oliver didn't like Jane, but he couldn't refuse Jane directly.

He might have something to ask for her help in the future. Anyway, he was the only one who solved

these troubles.

It was easy for Oliver to say no.

Simon dialed the phone. "Miss Kim, I'm really sorry. The painting has been wandering outside and

damaged, so it has been sent to be repaired."

Jane knew that Simon was lying when she heard it.

She knew that Oliver certainly didn't let her see.

Jane smiled, "I wonder if you have heard that it is fake?"

Simon said, "We will send someone to verify it."

Jane sneered secretly. With so many incapable appraisers that you had invited, it would be strange if

you could identify them.

"To tell you the truth, I've seen several versions of it. Can you let me take a look? Maybe I can find

something different."

Simon also knew that many of the best works of the past had strayed overseas, more so than at home.

"Jane is quite knowledgeable. Maybe she can tell."

Because Simon had always looked down on Marina, naturally, he didn't believe what she was selling.

No matter what Jane's attitude was, she had an artist's demeanor. To be honest, he appreciated her

style more.

"Then I'll ask our president. I'll try my best to help you." Simon said.

Simon didn't dare to go straight to Oliver.

He had to find a good reason to convince him.

What made Marina put the collection, which had been hidden all the time, up for sale at this time?

Simon decided to investigate the financial situation of the White.

If he didn't check, he would be shocked.

The White Group was completely unable to make ends meet, and there was no money in its account.

Simon found out that Jason was gambling and had just lost a lot of money.

It turned out that was the reason why Marina sold the painting.

Simon had to tell Oliver about Jason's gambling.

When he arrived in Grandville Apartments, he saw Oliver playing ball with Roy in the yard.

He quietly stepped forward and told Oliver his investigation results.

Oliver finally knew that Jason was going bankrupt because of gambling.

He looked at innocent Roy. For a moment, he didn't know if he should ask about the White family.

Roy was tired of playing and wanted to go back to rest.

Oliver called Simon to the study and asked him to ask Tina first.

Simon said, "It seems that Miss White doesn't know about Jason's gambling. She put all her money in

the White Group account before. She's waiting for the money of the painting to be distributed."

The money that Williams Group paid for the painting was still placed in the agency, and there was a

certain delay in the payment.

Oliver didn't know where to start.

Oliver was once again shocked by the bottom line of the White family.

He remembered the painting he had bought from Marina. Why was there a rumor that it was a fake

when he just bought it?

As for those master appraisers, Oliver also knew that he couldn't totally trust them. They were

authorities, so they could call black white. For those who did not know the trade, they were just led by

them.

"Simon, what do you think of the rumor that the painting is fake?"

When Oliver asked, Simon felt that the opportunity had come. They could not just listen to the

appraisers, but also look for more people to see it. Maybe there would be some new clues.

"Mr. Williams, I don't know anything about traditional Chinese painting, but I heard that there are

several versions of it that have been circulated overseas, which were all copied by descendants. Of

course, their painting techniques were very exquisite at that time. So it was difficult to completely

distinguish it with the naked eye."

Simon told Oliver everything he heard from Jane.

Oliver had seen a lot of Chinese paintings in several museums in New York.

At that time, when he was in school, the teacher took them to have class there.

It made sense for him to hear Simon say so.

"Then go overseas and find people to see if this painting is fake or not."

"Mr. Williams, we have a knowledgeable person in Birmingham who knows art very well. Why don't let

she take a look first?"

"Who is it?"

"Jane."
