NovelEnglishDylan really felt like dying at this time.
He really could not understand what kind of ability Charlie had that he could even make the young master of the Golding family be so polite and respectful to him! Even if he really were a Feng Shui master, it would still simply be impossible for Wrigley to give him so much face like that, right? However, he did not dare to ask this question.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, looking at the situation now, it was obvious that Wrigley was really very respectful towards Charlie. 4 At this time, Jeryl who was standing aside had already cto a realization that Wrigley was not their most distinguished guest today. In fact, this young lad with the last nWade was their most distinguished guest! 4 So, he hurriedly told Dylan, "Dylan! Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wade now?" Dylan really did not expect that his uncle would also yell at him to get him to apologize to Charlie. It was clear that even his own family members were not on his side this time.
However, although he was very upset and dissatisfied with Charlie deep down in his heart, he did not dare to cause any more trouble with Charlie. So, he could only cry out loud as he said, "Mr. Wade, I am sorry. I should not have insulted you. I hope that a magnanimous person like you would not hold it against a petty person like me..." 4 Charlie waved his hand before he said, "These are all trivial matters. I won't take it to heart." Dylan instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief. He really did not expect Charlie not to hold any grudges against him at all. So, he hurriedly bowed before Charlie as he said, "Thank you Mr. Wade for your graciousness!" Charlie waved his hand and said, "You don't need to mention such trivial formalities in front of me. Even though you had scolded and insultedjust now, I won't hold it against you. However, our bet still has to go on. As the saying goes, a man should always keep to his word and hold up to his end of the bargain!" 3 "Ahh?!" When Dylan heard that Charlie had wanted to continue with their bet, he felt as though he had fallen into an abyss in an instant! He had originally thought that the painting that Charlie had brought with him here today was definitely a fake or imitation painting that he bought outside. He would never have believed that this painting was an authentic painting belonging to Mr. Golding.
Therefore, he was certain that the price of his painting would certainly not be higher than the price of his jade pendant. No matter how good a painter was, it was simply impossible for a painting to be even more expensive than the jade pendant that he had specially prepared for his grandmother.
However, it seemed as though the situation had reversed.
This was because Wrigley, the eldest young master of the Golding family, was so respectful toward Charlie. Therefore, this proved that Charlie was definitely a very important person in the eyes of the Golding family! Since this was the case, then it would be highly likely that the painting in Charlie's hand had really been given to him by Yule! Someone mentioned earlier that Yule had spent 48.88 million dollars to purchase this painting drawn by Henri Matisse back then! 6 The price of the painting back then was already twice as much as the price of his jade pendant!
What's more, the antique and collectibles market had been soaring in recent years. This was especially and so in the painting and Calligraphy market. So, the prices of Henri Matisse's paintings had been getting higher and higher and they rarely ever made any more appearances in the auction market in recent years.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was mainly because the price of Henri Matisse's paintings had already risen so high that the collectors m tthe haped to hold onto his paintings for a period of tand only sell them when the rate of appreciation and value temporarily started to slow down. 7
If this was the case, then at this time, the price of Henri Matisse's paintings would naturally be even more expensive now that it was before in previous years. 4 If this painting were to be put up for auction, then it would be able to sell for at least sixty to seventy million dollars.
The price of this painting would greatly surpass the price of his jade pendant, which cost only 24 million dollars.
6 Dylan could not help but feel terrified when he thought about this.
Charlie insisted on honoring their bet. According to their bet, if he loses the bet, then he would have to swallow this jade pendant...
