Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 741

Orson sneered. ‘It seems like he will not admit it until he confirms it! However, in front of so many people, as an uncle, it is not good for me to cling to my nephew’s mistakes.’

Joshua hadn’t spoken yet. If Orson acted too excessively, he might raise suspicions about himself.

Fortunately, Orson was prepared.

Orson retracted his expression and frowned slightly. He looked like he was deep in thought. “Ian, you’re so sure. Could it be that I misunderstood you? Is this painting really authentic?”

“It’s so ridiculous.” Walton sneered and said bluntly, “Orson, are you confused? If the one in Ian’s hand is authentic, doesn’t that mean that the one in Dad’s study is fake?”

At this point, everyone finally understood.

It turned out that there was also an identical painting in the Phil family.

Of the two paintings, one must be fake.

Upon seeing the situation, someone suggested, “How about we have someone appraise this painting? Traditional art appraisal expert Mr. Harrington is present here.”

This suggestion received unanimous approval from everyone.

“Dad, what do you think?” Orson turned to Joshua.

Joshua frowned and pondered for a moment. “Today is my birthday and there are so many guests here. There’s really no need to make a fuss over such a small matter.

“Whether it’s true or not, it’s Ian’s gift for me.”

Orson understood that Joshua was trying to protect lan.

Orson wondered, ‘Heh, I have planned this meticulously for so long. This time, there is no way I will let Ian off.’

Orson turned around and gave someone a look..

Someone immediately said, “Mr. Phil, how can this be a small matter? Someone dared to lie to Mr. Walter. We can’t let him off easily.

“It just so happens that Mr. Harrington is here. Why not ask him to help appraise this painting?”

Joshua looked coldly at the person who spoke.

Joshua’s aura was still very strong. His sharp gaze instantly silenced that person.

When Walton saw this, he could not take it anymore. He snorted. “Dad, are you trying to protect Ian? No, we have to appraise this painting today.

“Didn’t he insist that it’s authentic? Then let’s see if he is right.”

Walton was starting to play hardball. He strongly insisted on going to appraise the painting.

Joshua had a headache. He sighed and thought, ‘It seems that Ian has completely offended Walton. Walton will not let him go this time!’

Joshua was in a hurry to help Ian out of his predicament.

Ian had already sent someone to look for Nicholas Harrington. “Uncle Walton is right. We must conduct an appraisal. I don’t want to have the reputation of giving away fakes.”

Ian’s words were the final nail in the coffin.

Since the person involved was so certain, even Joshua couldn’t say anything else.

Orson’s eyes were smiling. ‘Ian is really stupid. He brings all this to himself.’

Soon, Nicholas arrived.

When Nicholas heard that he was going to appraise Darian’s painting, he was so excited that his face turned red. He put on his glasses early and walked forward with a magnifying glass to take a closer look inch by inch.

“This painting does look old. It’s not easy to preserve it for so many years,” Nicholas said as he nodded.

“It indeed looks like Darian’s brushwork. Darian’s strokes are so light that they seem not to exist. It’s tough to imitate.

“Moreover, the atmosphere conveyed by this painting is serene and expansive, truly reflecting the masterful touch.”

The more Nicholas spoke, the more gloomy Orson’s expression became. He couldn’t help but say, “I heard that someone can imitate Darian’s paintings very convincingly. The subtle difference between an authentic piece and a forgery lies only in the signature.”

Nicholas shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. If it was an imitation, how could it be exactly the same? If it is really an imitation, there must be flaws everywhere.

“This painting is indeed Darian’s work. I promise.”

As soon as Nicholas finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.

Orson’s eyes widened in shock.

If this painting was authentic, could the one in Joshua’s study be fake?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
