Chapter 98
“Expose us? What are you going to expose us for?” Lyra still didn’t believe Sebastian.
“The painting you’ve just presented is a counterfeit. If we sold it, it wouldn’t even go for more than a hundred dollars,” Sebastian mused.
“Stop with the nonsense! Jordan was enraged, a hint of panic flashing across his eyes.
“What a joke. Do you know who Mr. Hunter is? Why would he buy a fake? Who would believe you?” Lyra laughed.
“That’s right. Mr. Hunter is the second son of the richest family in Wave City. His net worth is over a billion dollars. A few million dollars is just pocket change to him.” Belinda snorted.
“Exactly. Mr. Hunter wouldn’t care about a mere ten million dollars. It would only ruin his reputation to give a fake painting as a gift,” someone chimed in.
“I think he’s just jealous of Mr. Hunter and wants to defame him.
The crowd gave Sebastian a disdainful glare.
Lillian whispered, “Sebastian, stop with the nonsense. Mr. Hunter wouldn’t give a lake.”
Sebastien smiled. “I’m not lying. That printing is indeed a lake. And Lucas‘ gift is also a fake.”
Lucas was both shocked and angry. “You’ve just lied about Mr. Hunter’s gift, and now you’re trying to defame me too? You’re truly despicable.”
“Why did Ms. Smith marry him? He’s not only useless but also lacks integrity.”
“That’s right. He’s wrong for slandering others.”
Evelyn turned red with anger and pointed an accusing finger at Sebastian. “Shut up! One more word, and I’ll have someone throw you out!”
“Sebastian, I’m begging you. Please stop spreading rumors.” Lillian’s gaze was full of disappointment
She had thought that Sebastian was just prone to boasting, but she never expected him to stoop to such levels. She was deeply disappointed.
Sebastian stared at Jordan. “Since you claim that it’s not a fake, can I inspect it?”
Lyra angrily retorted, “That painting is worth millions of dollars. How dare you inspect it? Who do you think you are?”
Belinda echoed, “Exactly! You have no right to touch something worth millions of dollars. If you damage or soil it, you won’t be able to afford the consequences”
Jordan huffed arrogantly. “You and I are worlds apart. This watch that I have on is worth a million dollars. Someone like you can’t ever afford it, let alone a famous painting worth tens of millions of dollars.
“Someone like you can’t even afford a glance at the painting. But to prove you wrong, I’ll allow you to have a look at it. Mr. Smith, please let him take a look at it,” Jordan said confidently
Just as Sebastian had said, the painting he had given was indeed take. Although he was the second son of the Hunter family, his net worth was not high. He was only given a few million dollars each month, which wasn’t enough for his extravagant spending. He couldn’t afford to give any expensive gifts
However, a cheap gift would be unfitting for his status as the second son of the Hunter family. So, he had bought an expensive counterfeit painting that could pass off as the real soe. As hag as it wasn’t appraised by a professional, no one could tell the difference,
Moreover, Lyra had told him that Sebastian was just a useless freeloader. He wasn’t worried that Sebastian would notice anything
