Chapter 224 If Rejected Because Raymond's expression was serious and he was studying the documents, Selena didn't dare to disturb him. They remained silent until they reached their destination.
Han stepped out of the car and thanked Raymond first, then pointed to a villa in the distance.
"That's where the person you're looking for is. We'll accompany Mr. Montague there. I've completed the task your Uncle assigned, so go ahead." Selena turned around and thanked Raymond, then thanked Han, and walked briskly towards the villa.
But after taking a few steps, she heard Raymond's voice.

In that case, things would be much easier. Instantly, a smile appeared on her face, and her eyes sparkled. "Mr. Montague, thank you." The noon sun was intense, and it felt dazzling to Raymond, as it fell on Selena, as she walked away.
He averted his gaze and continued to converse with the leaders nearby.
Selena arrived outside the villa and pressed the doorbell. The villa was a Chinese-style mansion, and through the semi-high gate, one could see the rock garden. The owner inside seemed to have a refined and elegant hobby. After a moment, a servant-like individual walked out and he was startled to see Selena. A hint of confusion flashed in the servant's eyes.
"May I ask who you are looking for?" "Hello, I would like to see Mr. Rockefeller. I heard he is htoday, so I cto pay a visit." The servant hesitated for a few seconds and opened the door. "Mr. Rockefeller is indeed available today, but he doesn't usually meet with people without appointments. Followinside, and I'll let him know you are here and see if he's willing to see you." Selena had a classy and likable appearance, which was why the servant was willing to give her preferential treatment.
Upon entering, Selena immediately noticed the well-designed garden, which incorporated Chinese aesthetics along with feng shui elements.
As the only closed-door disciple of the teacher, Mr. Butler, who was a representative figure in oil painting, Selena had done sresearch in this area. As the two doors opened, she saw the painting in the center. It was the copy of the original work her teacher had painted, because the original artwork was considered national property and was displayed in a museum.
That made the painting impossible to purchase it, even if someone had a lot of money. So many people turned to Mr. Butler and hoped that he could make a copy. Thanks to Mr. Butler's authority in the world of oil painting, this copy was naturally sold for a high price. However, Mr. Butler ultimately donated the proceeds of the sale to a certain place, and Selena never asked further about the specifics.
Her teacher only made one copy at the time, but she never expected it to appear in Mr. Rockefeller's home. Selena had an idea in her mind and raised her gaze, coincidentally meeting the eyes of a fifty-year-old man sitting in the tea room. "Mr. Rockefeller, I didn't expect you to also appreciate Master Butler." Harrison Rockefeller was somewhat surprised. After all, many artists in China had made copies of this painting called "Xiaoxiang Picture" by Master Butler.
How did this young girl immediately recognize that it was Mr. Butler's copy? There was no seal on the painting, as Mr. Butler was used to doing things as he pleased and didn't pay much attention to such formalities. "Where did you learn that from?" Hearing that a guest had come, he initially thought it would have been a young man, but he didn't expect a young girl to arrive instead.
"Mr. Butler is my teacher. Back then, I had the privilege of studying with him for a period of time."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mr. Butler is a strange old man. He rarely takes on any disciples. don bdisciples. know he had one, but he was unwilling to reveal the nto the public." Now seeing Selena, Harrison is somewhat surprised. Is this young girl in her twenties Mr. Butler's closed-door disciple?
"When my teacher copied this painting, he specially studied the Southern landscape for a long time. you, M.
It's not surprising that you, Mr.
Rockefeller, like it, since Ridgefield is undeveloped and has the scharacteristics of Southern landscape." Harrison chuckled and pointed to the seat opposite him. "Please have a seat. Are you here because of the fragrant sandalwood incident?"
Selena nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. "I didn't want you to kickout immediately, so 1° mentioned my teacher's name. I hope you won't hold it against me, Mr. Rockerfeller." She was quite frank, and her eyes were very pure.
Harrison sighed, realizing she was about the sage as his daughter.
