The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Kathleen heard Jacob's empty praises, and firmly believed that the man was faking it.

Even so, she went along with him. "Mr. Wilson, you're absolutely right. This is indeed a marvelous work. Although incomparable with the likes of the top calligraphers such as Xephr Walker, it's still one of the best artworks connected to Aurous Hill." At the same time, Jacob approached Mr. Bay and casually asked, "President, how much are these worth?"

Mr. Bay answered sternly, "Finnegan Jonas's works aren't as high-valued as compared to the world's top calligraphers. However, the auction price of excellent works had gone up to at least one million dollars and above recently. Besides, as you're already aware, anything that's in a complete set carries a higher value in the collector's eyes. If the works are sold in a complete series, the price will become more expensive! If anyone were to put the Octad series for auction, it can be sold for at least tens of millions of dollars!" Jacob was stunned. He glanced at Kathleen and thought to himself, 'This girl must be from a very rich family! Why else would she donate such expensive works worth tens of millions of dollars?!'

Mr. Bay spread opened the eight scrolls one by one

and read them. The more he looked at them, the more delighted he became. He had to ask Kathleen to reconfirm her intentions. "Ms. Jane, are you really sure about donating these works to the Aurous Hill's Calligraphy and Painting Association?" Kathleen replied without hesitation, "Of course! If you're alright with it, Mr. Bay, I can sign the donation form anytime and confirm the donation in writing."

Mr. Bay was elated. "Oh, dear! Ms. Jane, that's so kind of you! The return of the Aurous Hill Octad will be a sensational event to the painting and calligraphy circle here. I would like to represent the Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association, calligraphers, calligraphy, and painting lovers, and thank you for your generous donation!"

Kathleen said with a smile, "Mr. Bay, don't worry about it. I'm just donating the Octad on behalf of my grandfather."

Mr. Bay asked, "Ms. Jane, may I know your grandfather's name? I'll promote his name to Aurous Hill's calligraphy and painting circle and let everyone remember his great contribution to Aurous Hill's culture!"

However, Kathleen replied sternly, "Mr. Bay, my grandfather is a low-profile man. He does not wish to reveal his identity. He's just very keen on promoting the cultural history in Aurous Hill."
