NovelEnglishChapter 431: Smart's Humiliation Daniel was well aware that Smart was up to no good, scheming to get him. However, Daniel wasn't worried. To him, Smart was no match; he could play games with Smart and make him cry if he wanted to.
"What opportunity could you possibly be giving me?" Daniel asked with a grin.
Smart pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his LV wallet with a flick.

"Smart, what's that about? If you've got too much money and feel like tossing it around, there are poor kids who could benefit from your generosity," Daniel said mockingly.
"This Benjamin isn't for charity, it's for you, country boy. Take it and disappear from New York, stay out of Jessica's life, or things will get ugly," Smart threatened, intending not so much to be generous as to humiliate Daniel.
"A hundred bucks? Really, Smart? You think a measly hundred can buy my love? Is that what you think it's worth?" The mention of love triggered a burst of mocking laughter from Smart.
"You and love? Don't makelaugh. Just look at yourself--your background, your status, your upbringing. You're just a country bumpkin, gutter trash thinking about love? You'd be lucky to find love in your village, let alone anywhere else. Even village girls these days aim for city guys with money. What are you worth compared to them?" But Smart's mocking didn't faze Daniel. He picked up the bill, smiled back, and said, "Thanks for the cash, Smart. I'll donate it to those in need. But as for my love, you can't afford it. If you're so able, why don't you win over Jessica? You go on aboutbeing a country boy, but here you are, the heir of the New York Evans family, and still falling short to me. Isn't that the real embarrassment? Wouldn't your ancestors turn in their graves knowing you can't hold a candle to me?" With that, Daniel prepared to take Smart down a peg. He pointed at the 'Gray Tree' painting and boldly exclaimed to Leo, "This painting isn't genuine; it's not Piet Mondrian's work." Beauty was astonished and looked at Daniel incredulously, "Country boy, you know about antiques and artwork?" "Just a little! Just a little," Daniel modestly replied, only to be met with a derisive snort from Leo.
"Heh," Leo chuckled disdainfully. "A mere country bumpkin dares to spout nonsense here. This painting is undoubtedly an original Piet Mondrian 'Gray Tree.' Your claim of its falsity is blasphemy, baseless hot air!" Chapter 431: Smart's Humiliation Daniel was well aware that Smart was up to no good, scheming to get him. However, Daniel wasn't worried.
