Dylan gritted his teeth and continued, "Okay! I don't believe you! It is settled then! I bought my jade pendant for twenty four million dollars! I even have the receipt as proof of my transaction. How much is your broken painting worth?" i Charlie did not actually know how much the painting was worth. However, he knew that the price of the Portrait de Famille painting by Henri Matisse had been rising rapidly in recent years. Therefore, Charlie was confident that the price of his painting was definitely worth much more compared to the price of the jade pendant. 5 Although it was just a painting, it was by no means any random graffiti. Instead, it was a painting that had been very beautifully crafted by a professional artist.

Moreover, this was the auction price for the painting ten years ago. If the painting were to be auctioned off again today, the price of the painting might even exceed eight hundred million dollars. 5 Yule was not an ordinary person. Therefore, anything that he collects, even if it were just a mere painting, would definitely be one of the finest works produced by Henri Matisse. 3 Since it was a fine and superb work, then the price of the painting would definitely cost more than tens of millions of dollars. Coupled with this superb golden frfor the painting, the price of this piece of painting would definitely be worth more than twenty four million dollars.
So, Charlie said, "You can ask anyone who knows anything about paintings to determine the price of this painting then." 6 "Painting?" Dylan curled his lips before he continued," What kind of rubbish is this? It is such an ugly piece of work!" 3 At this time, a knowledgeable person at the side suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! This looks like a painting done by the famous artist Henri Matisse! It is the painting of Portrait de Famille, which is a very famous painting!" "Yes!" Someone else suddenly chimed in, "This painting seemed to have been auctioned off at Christie's Auction a few years ago. If my memory does not fail me, it was auctioned off to Mr. Golding from the Golding family for forty eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars!" i "Mr. Golding? Are you referring to the chairman of the Golding Group who announced his sudden recovery from his illness in a high-profile manner yesterday as he regained total and absolute control of the Golding Group?" "Yes, that's him!" "That's weird! How can this young man have Mr.
Golding's painting collection in his hands? Could it have been stolen?" "Stolen? That is impossible. However, I also think that it is impossible for this painting to be a genuine product. I guess it must be an imitation, or perhaps it was copied and recreated by a contemporary expert. When Dylan heard these conversations, he sneered as he said, "Good for you, Charlie! You actually dare to try and fool my grandmother with a fake painting! You are really courting your own death!" Dylan's grandmother said embarrassedly, "Oh! Both of you should not be fighting like kids over here. It is not the gift that counts, but it is the thought behind it that matters the most. Why is it so important for you to determine the true price of the gift then? Dylan, why don't you take a step back first? After all, Charlie is our guest, and he cfrom afar!" "How can I do that?" Dylan gritted his teeth and added, "Grandma, this kid over here had causedto suffer miserably before. This time, I will not let him off so easily!" As he spoke, Dylan sneered again and continued, "Oh, Charlie... If your painting is the genuine product, then it is probably worth more than my jade pendant then.

Charlie smiled before he asked, "What gives you the right to say that this painting is a fake? Are you an expert in appraising paintings now?" 4 Dylan pointed at the crowd of people around him who were watching the exciting scene at this tand said, "Didn't you hear what everyone else was saying just now? Are you still reluctant to admit your own mistake?"
As he spoke, Dylan said disgustedly, e "The authentic painting of Portrait de Famille is in the hands of Mr. Golding, who is the chairman of the Golding Group. So, how can a pathetic jerk like you possibly get your hands on Mr. Golding's painting collection?" s
