Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Chapter 256

Under the magnifying glass, a very lifelike tiny deer was seen clearly. It was none other than the marking of Francis.

“It’s a fake. An antique forgery.”

There was no other way to describe Catherine’s expression other than it was very interesting. She did not expect to make a mistake in front of so many people. As she was a proud woman, she was embarrassed to stay in the place after the incident.

Thus, she said, “I don’t feel quite well. Therefore, I’m afraid I won’t be able to be here with you at Antique Fair today. I have a proposal to make. I will buy Mr. Lane’s Claude Monet painting for twenty-two million. It will be a good start for the Antique Fair.”

Having said that, she turned and left the place. Casper gave a subtle smile. “It’s hard to find someone who is as proud as she is. The painting is only worth somewhere around fifteen million. If we were to auction it off, the highest amount that we can add is another two million. Old Mrs. Yaeger is buying it for twenty-two million. It is obvious that she wants to make up for her misjudgment with five million.”

The others nodded in agreement. Rich people are crazy. It’s amazing that she wants to use five million to make up for the embarrassing situation.

Meanwhile, the man was smug. With a laugh, he said, “I’ve told you before that you can’t see the fake markings. I’m the only expert who can find it.”

Someone in the crowd retorted, “What is there to be smug about? The young man and Mr. Lane have seen it as well.”

Upon recalling it, the man changed his expression.

“Isn’t it because I have hinted about it first? It’s the reason why they could see it as well,” he mumbled.

After that, Casper offered the enamel glass to him. “That’s impressive of you to see that the enamel glass is fake. Master, why don’t you teach us how did you find the marking for the antique forgery?”
