Charles Zarate was furious, the aura on him immediately dissipated. He then looked at Harvey York, disdained.
“Young man, what are you saying? Master Naiswell had already concluded that the painting is indeed real, but you’re still here running your mouth. You’re not actually doubting his eyesight now are you?”
Shane Naiswell was the patriarch of treasury appraisal, who would dare to question his abilities?
A lowly live-in son-in-law not willing to admit that he’s wrong even after that, he truly does not fear death.
At that moment, everyone at the fair was judging Harvey with disgust.
Shane Naiswell swung his hand side to side.
“Please, everyone. Harvey’s right. Why don’t you let me finish speaking first?”
‘Huh?’
‘Master Naiswell isn’t done talking? But he had already said that the painting is real. Is he going to take back what he said?’
‘For a live-in son-in-law?’
‘Is he really that worth it?’
Shane kept talking, “This painting is real, yes. But it is not by Jasper Higgins himself, instead it’s painted by Gerald Morton, an imitation of Jasper Higgins’ painting!”
Everyone was trembling as soon as Shane had finished talking, not able to utter a single word.
Nobody had thought that Harvey would get saved from this sticky situation.
The painting really is from Gerald Morton!
This also meant that in this match, Charles had lost and Harvey had won!
In the next moment, gasps echoed throughout the crowd, they all looked at Harvey like he was some kind of monster.
Harvey uncourteously swiped up the antique Rolex on the stand and wore it on his hand. He then took a quick glance at it and smiled.
“I was missing a watch before. Thank you for that, President Zarate.”
“You… You… You…”
Charles was so furious to the point where he was shaking. Anger had built up inside of him rapidly, he then had to sit on the ground paralyzed.
“Master!”
Luis quickly lifted Charles off the ground, then glared at Harvey.
“Harvey, you better give the watch back to my master. A live-in son-in-law like you are not fit to wear it!”
