The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 271

“How much does it cost?” Christopher glared at Claire with murderous intent.
After that, he said, heartbroken, “Jean Peculli’s artworks are priceless, you wouldn’t be
able to buy it even if you wanted to.
However, if The Landscape really were to be put up
in an auction, it should be way more expensive than the one that was bidded in Port
City last time, with a worth at least a billion dollars.”
‘What?! It’s actually worth a billion dollars?!’
Upon hearing those words, Claire thought
as she fell and sat on the ground, due to her legs enervated.
Realizing that she had tore a billion dollars apart, she wanted to ram her head into a
wall out of regret.
After all it was a billion dollars, when would she have the opportunity
to see such a large amount of money?
On the other hand, Edison, who was ashen-faced, immediately explained as he faced
Sharpay and Adrianna with doubtful looks on their face, “Sharpay, Aunty, I was fooled
too.
F*ck, I’ll demand a proper explanation tomorrow.”
Christopher said, “I’ll keep this torn art piece for now. When I get back later, I’ll check if
there’s any way I could fix it.”
Aidan hurriedly replied, “Alright, sure.
Sorry for the trouble, Lawrence.”
Suddenly, Christopher took another glance at the ground and noticed the smushed
snow lotus.

Shocked, he hurriedly kneeled down and took one of the petals up to his nose. He took
a sniff and even tasted it.
Soon after, he yelled out of anger again, “This is a
hundred-year-old snow lotus! Who was it?! Who the hell stomped a priceless treasure
like this?! Another priceless treasure ruined! Oh dear god!”
As he once again mentioned that another priceless treasure was ruined, Claire was
shocked so she asked, “Mr. Lawrence, what’s with you again?
Doesn’t this cost around
twenty dollars? It can be purchased abundantly online! Not even a dog would want to
eat this, that’s why I stomped on it.”
Christopher’s eyes were filled with fury.
“So it was you insolent fool again! I really wish I
could slice your legs off! If you were to be my daughter, I would’ve had my wife aborted
you!”
Aidan asked, “Lawrence, is this really valuable?”
Christopher replied, “A medical herbs auction was held a few days ago. A
hundred-year- old snow lotus was bidded for fifty million dollars, do you still think it’s not
worthy?
This one should cost at least thirty million dollars. Now that it’s ruined, it’s all for
naught!”
“Ah!” Claire screamed as she was engulfed by regret.
With just a few stomps, she had trampled a billion and 30 million dollars.
Adrianna stared at Claire as she let out a sardonic laugh. “Oh Sis, you’re really Dad’s
great daughter.
You stomped your son-in-law’s hundreds million dollar gift into nothing.
You totally did it on purpose because you don’t want Dad to have a nice birthday! Hmph,
just look at you now, you have no present for Dad and even your son-in-law ran away.
What a shocker!
My son-in-law is much better, at least Dad still has this
hundred-year-old ginseng.”
Christopher took a look at the said ginseng and laughed. “Pfft, this is just a five-dollar
garden ginseng from the northeast.
How dare you claim that it’s a hundred-year-old wild
ginseng, what a joke!”
Sharpay froze. Jean Pucelli’s fake painting had upset her quite a fair bit already. Now
that the wild ginseng was a fake as well, wasn’t it just too much?
After having egg on her face, Adrianna turned to Edison and asked, “Oh my dear
son-in-law, have you been tricked again?”
Just then, Christopher stared at Edison and said, “Hey, aren’t you the mechanic from
