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.

Just as McNeil was about to let Violet present the oil painting as a gift to Mrs. Simms, he got a call from his father. That's when he found out that the news had already gone viral-his purchase of the painting was trending everywhere.

Left with no choice, McNeil gave the oil painting to his father and handed the watercolor to Janice.

Violet looked mortified, while McNeil remained perfectly composed.
