A lady suddenly appeared amongst the crowd."He's not a thief," the lady said gently.It was Yvonne Young.She was at the mall to look for lipstick. She did not expect to bump into Darryl.Darryl was shocked to see her, as well. She looked even more attractive, and he had not seen her for about two days.She was dressed in a formal suit. The attire showed off her perfect figure, and she also wore a pair of The Worship of Crystal. Darryl had bought them for her at Roger's Auction.Wow!Yvonne's appearance had attracted the attention of the men in the crowd.A man followed beside Yvonne. He was dressed neatly in a suit and a pair of black-frame glasses; he looked smart.Yvonne stepped forward and pointed to the man beside her to introduce him to Darryl. "Darryl, this is Matt Taylor."Yvonne was pretty upset that day. Her father had decided to introduce men to her; from rich heirs to successful businessmen, he had not stopped his efforts.As Yvonne had always had her heart set
Denise blushed; she was shocked when she heard that. Then she saw the jewelry store manager rush toward them. Denise immediately shouted, "Come quickly; is this the necklace you lost?"Denise hurried forward and handed the gift box to the store manager. "Take a look. Does this necklace belong to your shop?" She turned and pointed at Darryl, "He had stolen it."Stole? The store manager seemed puzzled and did not know what to do.Denise laughed loudly. 'The store manager came running for the necklace. Now all the evidence is here. Let's see how he explains himself! A 60-million-buck necklace is enough to put him in jail for the rest of his life!' Denise thought."Sir," The store manager said politely as he handed the gift box back to Darryl. She bowed at him. "Sir, I forgot to inform you that with your high spending in our store, you are immediately upgraded to a Privileged Member. Would you mind leaving your number with us so that we can process the membership for you? Also, you for
Outside the mall, Yvonne, Matt, Darryl, and Lily walked as they chatted with each other.Lily suggested they go to dinner, and everyone agreed unanimously.While they talked, Yvonne's cell phone rang. It was her father, Kingston.Kingston's voice came through once the call connected. "My dear daughter, how did your date go? Matt is quite the gentleman, right?"Most of his matchmaking efforts for his daughter had failed, and Kingston had come to a conclusion.Yvonne rejected all the candidates because she had Darryl in her heart.What was so special about Darryl? He only had some skills in appraising antiques. When he realized that fact, Kingston immediately contacted Matt. That man might still be very young, but he had excellent skills in appraising antiques, too! He was the world-renowned antique appraiser, Simon Joe's apprentice!Darryl's skill was of no match to Matt. Besides that, Matt was also smart and committed. There was no reason for Yvonne not to like him."My dear
When four of them arrived, the place was really crowded.Yvonne and Lily suddenly became the centre of attraction.Those two goddesses were too beautiful!Some of the men did not even blink. Both of the ladies were beautiful in their own way!The two ladies did not notice the attention that they commanded; their attention was on the stalls set at both sides of the street. There were many stalls with antique items displayed for sale.Handwritten scrolls, jade, ceramics and many other delicate items; all of them looked interesting.Darryl looked around as he strolled.The antique festival was an interesting one. He noticed a couple of good quality antiques as he walked by them.They finally arrived at the largest stall in the market; there were many people surrounding it, and Kingston was one of them.Yvonne was happy to see her father, and she quickly approached him, "Father."Kingston turned and nodded at her. "Matt, come quickly, see how much this painting is worth!"The st
Kingston chuckled proudly after he heard Matt's appraisal for the painting.He had chosen correctly! Matt had cleared all of Kingston's doubts in his analysis. That was the standard of an internationally renowned antique appraisal master's apprentice.Besides that, Matt looked really handsome. What a perfect match with her daughter!Yvonne nodded her head in agreement too.Matt's antique appraisal talent was really impressive.The antique seller, Austin, gave Matt a thumbs up. "Looks like you are a professional, Mister! You analyzed the painting so easily, but clearly."Matt smiled proudly but did not reply. As an apprentice to a famous antique appraisal master, he had gotten used to all the attention and compliments.Kingston laughed happily and said, "Fine then, Austin, I shall buy it!"One billion bucks! Even though he needed to spend his entire fortune, he still felt that it was worth it. If he sold the painting later, he would quickly gain 3 billion bucks.Yvonne was deli
It was obvious what Kingston had just said.Even though Darryl was quite knowledgeable in antique appraisal, Matt was the one who was the famous antique appraisal master's apprentice.Everyone agreed with Kingston.Matt was the one who was the famous antique appraisal master's apprentice.Master Simon Joe was famous in the country; he was a famed antique appraisal master. Simon had frequently appeared in antique magazines, and Matt was his apprentice.Matt must be right about it; the Tiger Roar Mountain should be a genuine one.Lily felt a little embarrassed; she pulled Darryl gently and said, "Dear, do mind your words."The Young family was a famous antique merchant family in Donghai City. Even Kingston believed that the painting was genuine. Darryl would just cause trouble for everyone.Yvonne was nervous too. "Darryl, are you sure the painting is fake?"Darryl smiled and explained, "Matt was right when he said that Watt Thompson paintings had special characteristics and qua
Everyone stared at Darryl and the fold that he had made on the painting.Darryl laughed. "Mister Austin, you said that if the painting is a fake, you will retire from the antique business?"Austin dared not reply after he saw the Gull Folding Method. Prior to that, he had sought the help of dozens of antique appraisers, and all of them had confirmed that the painting was genuine. Darryl was not even someone famous in the field; how could he determine that the painting was a fake one?Austin got upset. "Yes, and I will repeat it. If this painting is a fake, I shall leave the antique business! However, if it were proven to be genuine, then you shall kneel and apologize to me!"Darryl took a deep breath. "Watt Thompson had painted many paintings in his lifetime; however, not many were retained. In the early twentieth century, there was an artist named Herman Landy, who had admired Thompson's painting so much that he kept many of the original paintings. He spent many years imitating Th
The situation turned chaotic!The live-in son-in-law was wrong with his appraisal!Master Simon said the painting was genuine, so how could it be a fake?"Buddy, did you hear that?" Austin stood up and said to Darryl, "Kneel and apologize!""Mister Austin, please don't be angry, calm down." Yvonne went up to him quickly. "My friend made a mistake, please don't be mad. The painting is for 1 billion bucks right; we will buy it."She smiled awkwardly and took out her cell phone; she was ready to transfer the payment to Austin. Darryl rushed forward and snatched Matt's phone."Is there something wrong with your eyes, Simon Joe?" Darryl said coldly as he looked into the screen. "Open your eyes and look at it. Is this a genuine painting? Look at it again!"Matt was furious as he stared at Darryl. "How could you speak to my master in such a manner? Where are your manners? Give me back my phone!"Master Joe was already in his sixties, and he was the top antique appraiser. Everyone woul
