Mr. Smith stood up straight and said, “I don’t care then. I’m the one who had my eyes on the painting first, and I hadn’t declared precisely that I’m not buying earlier.”The middle-aged man on the side was displeased as he said, “Boss, here’s 500 thousand dollars. Sell me the Picasso piece. Your original price was 460 thousand dollars, and now I’m making you a higher offer, so there’s no need for you to prioritize the first-come, first-serve basis anymore, is there?”The sound of people gasping in shock could be heard coming from the crowd at once. “Whoa! 500 thousand dollars is enough to buy a luxury villa. He’s filthy rich!”“This shows that this really is a genuine artwork of Picasso’s. He is a renowned painter after all. If he is so famous, it seems that 500 thousand dollars isn’t considered expensive.”“It’s not considered pricey, of course. Look at the painting. It’s impressive. Hanging it on display in one’s home will taint the home with its artistic value, and perhaps it c

”What kind of nonsense are you going on about, huh? You good-for-nothing brat!” scolded the owner of the antique store as he peered down at Zayn rudely. He was seething with rage.Mr. Smith had her brows furrowed as well as she glanced over at Zayn in equal puzzlement and indignation.As she came from a wealthy family, she was raised to possess a refined palate and impeccable taste. She occasionally dabbled in the world of paintings and murals as well. From what she had to go off of, the Picasso painting looked like the real thing, and she was sure that it had not been tampered with at all. On the other hand, the man in front of her was claiming that it was a fake. Was he really challenging her expertise? In a certain sense, he was also trying to humiliate her.Zayn kept a level head despite the many murderous gazes staring back at him. He casually circled the room, a relaxed smile playing on his lips. “I’m the one talking nonsense? You’re the ones who are asking me to pay 600 thous
When Life Takes A Turn Chapter 133 Examining Authenticity
“Thank you.”Zayn placed the painting flat on the table. He made note of the canvas material being very worn. It looked quite old. The linen canvas had yellowed with age, but the material was thick and rough. The oil paint was dried and hardened, giving it the effect of being painted from a past century.Judging from the material, there were no weak points.Moreover, the piece of artwork was painted with cubism in mind. A layman would have no way of telling the real from the fake.In fact, even an art lover would have a hard time recognizing it was forged. Anyone who could confirm it to be a counterfeit was certainly a connoisseur.It was such a waste that Zayn specialised in such a niche field. As a young boy, he was pressured by his father into pursuing cultured pastimes such as music, chess, and painting. It also helped that he was exceptionally gifted in the arts. Combined with his honed skills and dedicated training, an average expert was no match for a prodigy like himself.

Many of his accomplices in the crowd were severely taken aback as well.Resentment grew inside the tomboy as she tried to swallow the fact that someone had attempted to swindle her. They truly were a bunch of audacious con artists!600 thousand dollars would not leave a dent in her pockets at all, but it would be mortifyingly embarrassing if news of the incident were to circulate. She was just about to burst from humiliation just thinking about it. “You very well had the audacity to try and swindle me with your counterfeit! You must be tired of living—let me relocate you to a living h*ll!”She ordered her two bodyguards to contact the police so that the owner of the antique store could be detained and tried. Realizing this, the owner of the antique store fled hurriedly in the other direction. Though, he could not outrun the tomboy’s bodyguards, as he was quickly captured before he managed to gain distance.Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who had been his co-accomplice was starting t

Just as he was about to leave, someone called out from behind him. He turned around to find that it was the tomboy, Mr. Smith. Zayn stopped in his tracks. “Anything else?”The tomboy had very delicate features, and her complexion resembled the pure, driven snow. She was a very beautiful woman, and anyone could make that conclusion in just a glance, which was why she dressed the way that she did. Ironically enough, she was far more attractive than most of the young male artistes on the entertainment scene.As she walked over, Zayn noticed a faint scent radiating off of her body. Zayn was curious—was she unaware of how masculine she appeared in the mirror before leaving the house?“Thank you for your help earlier. If it wasn’t for your timely rescue, I would’ve gone home with a fake painting.” The tomboy thanked Zayn sincerely, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to him for his assistance.Zayn said, “Don’t mention it, it’s no trouble to me at all.”The tomboy continued sheepishly,

After an hour had passed, Zayn was finally back at 4S. He heaved a sigh of relief—it was almost impossible to get away from that relentless tomboy.Zayn felt very uneasy during their meal. Alexandra was obviously a woman, but she desperately tried to mimic the mannerisms of a man. It would have been dismissable if she was decent at it, yet she was far from being convincing.What made matters worse was that she was completely oblivious to her poor performance. She interacted with him with blind confidence as she butchered her identity. The way she went about conversing with Zayn—frequently throwing in curse words for no apparent reason and touching Zayn all too comfortably—rendered him speechless.As a result, when Alexandra offered to keep him company after the meal, he hastily declined and retreated to 4S as he waited for his car to be repaired.Alexandra was swelling with pride as she watched Zayn’s departing silhouette fade into the distance. “Heh-heh, what an idiot. He had no i

They chatted for a while more before William abruptly took on a grave tone of voice. “Sir, in all frankness, I paid you a visit because I have something important to discuss with you.”Victor responded earnestly, “What is it? If it’s anything I can be of use for, I won’t back down from an opportunity to help a friend.”William glanced in the direction in which Alexandra had stormed off, and cracked into a sheepish smile. “It was love at first sight with me and Ms. Smith. I’ve spent countless nights tossing and turning in my bed because she’s always on my mind, and so after mustering enough courage, I’ve come here today to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage!”…Howard was having a tough time because of his recent demotion. Not only had he been demoted, but his authority had been stripped from him as well. He could well be considered as nothing but a miserable bum now.What made matters worse was that he still owed Gordon an outstanding amount of a few hundred thousand dollars

As a man, Howard clearly understood Mr. Brown’s intentions. Mr. Brown obviously wanted to sleep with Faye!If it had been in the past, Howard would have blindly agreed to it without the slightest hesitation at all. However, it was different now. It was not because he was unwilling, but it was because he was not in the position to make such a decision.Now that the Carters held Faye to such a high regard, even George would be tentative to force her into doing something so salacious.Now that Faye’s status in the Carter family was different, even George would not necessarily be able to force her to come to do this if she refused to. And even then, he still feared Zayn to a certain extent. As of late, Lady Luck seemed to be on his side. Not only did he manage to save Jordan’s life, he had even gotten acquainted with George.George Hayes was a malicious man with too much power for his own good.
