Semua Bab His Marvelous Life Starts After Divorce: Bab 731 - Bab 740

Jean’s expression shifted slightly when she heard those words. She had an unwavering trust in Frederick. Therefore, she suspected that Dominic actually sold her a fake.Jean didn’t mind spending money, but giving her father a counterfeit item was simply out of the question.“I think you’re the one who should explain yourself, don’t you think?” she said firmly.Dominic was caught off guard by her unexpectedly strong stance. Just as he was about to say something, Frederick picked up the Veiled Lady sculpture and flipped it over to examine the base.“This base is definitely antique, but it’s from a Golden Age piece. There’s no way it could have been crafted with medieval techniques.”Upon hearing Frederick’s words, Dominic felt a chill. He had initially felt relieved that Jean hadn’t brought along that old appraiser, but now he realized that Frederick was far more discerning. Perhaps even more challenging than the old appraiser.Examining the bottom of porcelain pieces is a fundamental pr

Frederick ignored Dominic and instead held the spearhead in his hand, noting its peculiar texture. It was neither copper nor iron, and he couldn’t precisely determine its age, though Dominic was correct that a spearhead alone, without the shaft, wasn’t particularly valuable.However, Frederick picked it up because the negative energy within him surged with an intense desire for it, even attempting to seize control of his body just to grab the spearhead.He decided to keep the spearhead to study it more closely. As soon as he held it, the energy's agitation instantly subsided.Testing its strength, he squeezed the spearhead. Normally, he could bend iron with ease, yet even using 70 percent of his strength, the spearhead remained unyielding, reinforcing his sense that it was extraordinary.Dominic clapped his hands, seeing the matter as finally settled."Thanks for stopping by," he said cheerfully.Frederick packed up his items, especially the painting, which he carefully rolled up

Frederick wasn’t a stingy person; he just disliked people like Finn. But for someone like Edmund, who simply wanted to take a look, he felt no hesitation. He opened the painting for him.Seeing the rather suggestive artwork, the crowd quickly guessed it wasn’t from any renowned artist."Heh, you’re showing this to Mr. Harrington?""This is a disgrace—practically a vulgar scene!"Dominic, eager to flatter the esteemed Edmund, chimed in. “Mr. Harrington, a piece as crude as this shouldn’t even meet your eyes.”“I was going to throw it out as trash, but this fool picked it up instead. Why not browse the other antiques in my store?”However, Edmund paid no mind to his comments. Adjusting his glasses, he examined the painting carefully. "Judging by the canvas, it’s definitely from the Victorian era."Dominic immediately echoed, “Mr. Harrington, your expertise is unparalleled! You can tell the period at a glance. It took me ages to determine that.""But a piece like this is neither w

“The one holding the mirror in the painting is Cupid. This really is Venus in the painting.”Historical records described Venus's appearance in great detail. The reason Edmund hadn’t recognized her at first was because she was dressed as a servant, a detail that made him think of anyone but the goddess.Frederick, seeming to understand what Edmund was thinking, sighed and explained, “This was merely one of Alessandro's twisted whims.”Hearing Frederick’s explanation, Edmund was deeply impressed. He hadn’t expected the former to know so much about ancient arts, even the obscure details.“My young friend, I’ve thought it over. I’m willing to pay five million dollars for this painting. I truly want to study it closely.”Though the painting was a replica, the original The Rokeby Venus was not something Edmund could obtain. This replica alone made a valuable study piece.Frederick, hearing this offer, felt a headache coming on. He had explained so much in an attempt to satisfy Edmund’

Seeing such a rare treasure was enough to make everyone, including Edmund and the antique dealers present, feel they’d stumbled upon an extraordinary stroke of luck. Yet some couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of Frederick. After all, every one of them wanted to possess a priceless treasure like this.But one person, in particular, felt as if his heart was bleeding. Dominic just realized he had practically given away the Pilgrim's Journey of Windmere as part of a two-million-dollar deposit. This piece alone was enough to make a fortune for multiple lifetimes.A scheme quickly formed in his mind, and he addressed Frederick with a hearty laugh. “My young friend, you’ve certainly got quite the eye,”“Helping me sort through antiques and finding such a rare piece in my little pile of junk… truly impressive. I owe you my thanks. You will get a hundred thousand dollars as a reward from me.”The crowd looked on, stunned, uncertain of what was happening. They couldn't help but wonder if
