C27 – The Origin of the Painting

Julius waved his hand and said, “What do you know? Lachlan is just a student. It is already rare for him to be able to bring out a few hundred yuan to buy gifts for Alyssa.”

Julius really thought of a good plan.

He first provoked everyone’s anger, then pretended to be innocent.

He pretended to calm everyone’s anger, but in reality, he was inciting them.

Many people in the arena treated Lachlan as their love rival. They mocked Lachlan with all their might.

“Student? Is a student the reason why he bought the trash Imperial Green Jade?”

“Alyssa’s body is noble. If she were to wear such trash, she would probably get a rash.”

Lachlan stood with his hands behind his back. Even though he had been criticized by thousands of people, he still had a calm expression on his face. His eyes were clear and his heart was not angry. Instead, he felt that these people were pitiful.

Because they were all blind, they did not even recognize the Supreme Grade Imperial Green Jade. They were even more foolish, and had been instigated by Julius.

“All of you, shut up!”

Alyssa frowned and scolded, “No matter what Lachlan gave me, it is all his goodwill. I am extremely fond of it. You don’t have to point fingers at me for this matter.”

Everyone was shocked.

The entire arena was silent.

Those young geniuses who had originally admired Alyssa felt mixed emotions. They did not know what to say.

Alyssa had actually fallen out with them for Lachlan. She really had the courage.

Could it be that she had a deep love for Lachlan?

Did they still have a chance?

Lachlan smiled faintly. He did not expect Alyssa to stand on the opposite side of everyone for him. He was quite touched in his heart.

He said in a soft voice, “This Imperial Green Jade is real. Don’t worry about it and don’t get a rash.”

“Thank you, Lachlan!”

Alyssa’s hand was still caressing the Imperial Green Jade. She cherished it very much.

This was not the result Julius wanted to see.

He then said, “Lachlan, you are still lying to Alyssa at this time. If you are a man, you should admit that this Imperial Green Jade is trash. Don’t treat us as blind people.”

“You guys are really blind.”

At this moment, an angry voice came from the side.

“How could you not even recognize a Supreme Grade Imperial Green Jade?”

“Who are you?” Julius was shocked. He could not afford to be disturbed at this moment.

“I am Cruz, the owner of the Lyle Jewelry Group.”

“So, you are Mr. Suo. Please identify the Imperial Green Jade that Brother Lachlan bought.”

Julius thought that Lachlan had come to expose him, so his attitude became much more respectful.

“There’s no need to identify it. When Brother Lachlan bought this necklace, I was there.”

Cruz looked around and said word by word, “I can tell you responsibly that this Imperial Green Jade is the Supreme Grade of Imperial Green Jade. It is worth at least twenty million.”

“A broken necklace is worth twenty million? Is he telling the truth?”

“I don’t think so. I am an old acquaintance of Cruz. He wouldn’t say such a thing for no reason.”

“Right, the Lyle Jewelry Group is rich. He wouldn’t say such a thing for no good reason.”

Cruz’s words instantly turned the situation around.

“I didn’t want to say this, but you guys are too much. Let me tell you, this necklace is authentic.”

Following that, Cruz showed everyone the halo of the Imperial Green Jade.

“Lachlan, you actually gave me such a valuable gift. Thank you.”

A bright light filled Alyssa’s eyes. The friendship between them was deep.

“You’re welcome.”

Lachlan could not stand the burning gaze of Alyssa. He turned to Julius and said, “That’s right, Alyssa. Did you buy this painting from someone else?”

Julius sneered, “Lachlan, you want to take revenge on me?”

“Bullshit! I bought it from Master Caden.”

Lachlan said indifferently, “Really? Yesterday, I sold a painting of Caden at Ellsworth University. It looks exactly like the one in your hands. I only sold it for four hundred thousand.”

Julius was startled.

Four hundred thousand?

How is that possible? I bought it for eight hundred thousand.

In order to make the gift seem more valuable, Julius increased the price by another two hundred thousand. He spent a million to buy this painting.

Putting aside the price, how could a loser like Lachlan have a painting like Caden’s?

He smiled and said, “Lachlan, stop bragging. Everyone knows that Master Caden hates people selling his paintings. Ellsworth University is his territory. How could he allow you to sell his paintings?”

Everyone nodded silently.

What Julius said was indeed the truth.

“Just now, I wrongly accused your Imperial Green Jade of being defective. It was indeed my fault, but you don’t have to immediately take revenge on me and question the origin of my drawing.”

“Lachlan indeed has a petty heart, and his revenge is so obvious. He simply doesn’t have a brain.”

“Even if he gives away an Imperial Green Jade necklace, so what?”

“With his character, I’m afraid that the Windsor family would not dare to take him in.”

Lachlan shook his head and said, “Sorry, in fact, Caden allowed me to sell his painting. Moreover, I only said the truth to make Alyssa feel better.”

“What a joke.”

Julius said righteously, “Let me tell you, Lachlan, slander is punishable by jail. Who knows if what you said is true or false! Everything has to be based on evidence.”

“You want evidence? Then I will give you evidence. It just so happens that I have met Caden once before.” Lachlan took out his phone.

Of course, Julius did not believe that Lachlan knew Caden. Besides, even if Lachlan knew him, so what?

Why would Caden help Lachlan? He was famous for being stubborn.

If Lachlan were to disturb Caden because of this small matter, it would be strange if he did not get scolded.

“You are doubting my character in front of so many people. If you have any evidence, I will let it go. If you don’t have any evidence, you have to apologize to me and ask Alyssa to revoke the investment in the Huang family.”

Lachlan turned his gaze towards Alyssa. Before he could say anything, Alyssa said, “You can decide for yourself.”

She was indeed considerate.

Lachlan smiled at her and silently opened WeChat.

“Elder Garcia, I have something to talk to you about.”

“Master Yilmaz? Do you have any orders for me?”

‘What the hell!’

Master Caden was a famous painter.

A national treasure level master called Lachlan a master? He was extremely respectful. What was going on?

“Do you remember this painting?”

Lachlan pointed the camera at Julius’s painting.

“Didn’t you sell that painting for four hundred thousand yesterday? Did you buy it again? If you don’t have anything else to do, don’t disturb me from my research on the ‘One Success’.”

Lachlan smiled bitterly. It seemed that Caden was obsessed with paintings.

Just as Caden was about to hang up, he spoke again, “By the way, the Along the River During the Qingming Festival that you asked me to sell has a buyer. He offered a price of ninety million. If you agree, he will transfer the money to you immediately.”

Lachlan pondered for a moment, “Alright, let him transfer the money.”

The Along the River During the Qingming Festival was worth hundreds of millions, but it could only be sold at an extremely high price at auctions. It would naturally not have such a high value if it was sold privately.

Of course, this saved Lachlan a lot of auction service fees.

No matter what, Lachlan had made a profit.

Moreover, the buyer would probably only offer such a high price out of respect for Caden.
