Chapter 104

The truth was, the landscape oil painting had cost a staggering twenty million, while the watercolor went for five.

Yasmine was at the auction in person, and McNeil made sure to record everything on video for Victoria.

By sheer coincidence, that very watercolor had once belonged to Victoria's late mother, Edith.

At the time, there were only two landscape paintings up for bid, so McNeil recorded both.
