Chapter 180 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• "What do you mean?" Rosalind was enraged. Her smile hardened into a grimace. "I purchased this artwork from Hoffman's Auction House. Could it possibly be a fake? With one sentence, she dragged the Hoffmans into the ocean. Ryan was compelled to snare. "Ms. Gold, you don't know how auctions operate because you don't often go to them, do you? The biggest auction house in the nation is my family's Platinum Auction House. Everything we gather has undergone a rigorous screening and appraisal process. We don’t sell any fakes. If you don’t know the goods, don’t trash my family’s reputation.” Justin's gaze became gray. He recalled Rosalind being coerced into purchasing the duplicate at ten times the market value by Anna, who had smiled mischievously at that charity auction.
• Was Anna expecting Rosalind to give Grandpa this artwork on his birthday already? Did Anna put up a trap for Rosalind from the start, or was it just a coincidence? "Replicas and fakes are two different things, Ms. Gold." Another knowledgeable appraiser stepped up at this point to represent Ryan. "Some of the paintings are historical artifacts, even though they are copies. Although many painters enjoyed copying the works of well-known Renaissance artists, these artists' creations are nevertheless quite valuable historically. Imitating a painting also requires exceptional abilities. Replicas of the highest caliber can still fetch extremely high prices. However, the copy you purchased is a little subpar. I wouldn't have been able to quickly distinguish the difference otherwise.
• "That cannot be a duplicate! How could it be a copy? I purchased this from Platinum Auction House for ten million dollars! In a panic, Rosalind blurted out. $10 million was spent by Rosalind on a duplicate. How did she have such a low IQ? All around there were fits of laughter. In an attempt to stop herself from laughing, Bethany covered her lips and hid in the crowd. This was like a swift slap in the face. Ten million dollars? The value of this painting is just $1 million. Ms. Gold, if you paid 10 times as much for this piece, then all I can say is that you made a substantial donation at the charity auction.
