Harvey York did not talk nonsense. He only tried to fish for the money in his pocket. After a long while only he found the fifteen dollars. He then gave the money to the auctioneer, seemingly hard to part with the money.
He could not help that. After all, he did indeed have only fifteen dollars cash with him at the moment.
A roar of laughter was heard.
"It's indeed hilarious! There’s really someone who bought "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" with only fifteen dollars!"
"You hid the money in such a secure manner. Are you afraid that you’ll lose the money?"
"No wonder you're afraid that you'll lose the money. It seems like you only have fifteen dollars with you now, are you not?"
"Harvey, you really need to take good care of this painting. We’ll go and pay you a visit when we’re free just to assess it. After all, it’s a legendary renowned world painting which is worth fifteen dollars!" The person then laughed out loud.
Both Jake Surrey and Wyatt Johnson burst into laughter. 'Harvey is indeed quite amusing. Is he some kind of theater actor?’
At first, Harvey did not want to bother about them. But after he noticed that Mandy Zimmer’s facial expression had become worse, he could only sigh and said calmly, "Nowadays, just anyone could assess the value of some treasures randomly since they only know a little bit of the classic tales."
Swoosh-
All of a sudden, everyone fixed their eyes at Harvey again. 'Is this guy out of his mind? How could he still want to claim that "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" is authentic now?
'Has he lost his mind, fixated on wealth?'
Beside them, Wyatt was also filled with contempt. He did not even get the chance to humiliate him.
Consequently, Harvey acted like the humiliation he received just now was not enough. In that instant, he immediately provided Wyatt the chance to humiliate him again. Was he looking for it himself? Did he really want to be humiliated again?
"Mandy, could you please ask him to stop talking? It's too humiliating!" At that moment, Cecilia Zachary said with deep embarrassment. She was also stared at by the others with a faint smile because of Harvey.
Mandy said rather uneasily, "Since he had spoken up, he might have his own reason.”
At that moment, Mandy did not even know why she said such a thing. Was it because of the fact that she had a better impression about Harvey now?
Harvey did not bother about Cecilia. He only looked at Mandy gently for a short while. After that, he laughed and continued, "If we’re going to talk about the classic tale behind "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak”, there’s a second one. It’s that after Yael Woodford received "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak", he tried to make a replica of that painting. And after that, "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" which was passed around for generations was indeed the one he made, including the remaining two paintings in the two museums. Actually, they were the remnants which were replicated by Yale. I’m not saying that the remnants are bad, but they're indeed nothing but replicas."
'What?'
