Needless to say, Wyatt, Jake, and Cecilia wanted Harvey to die. Why would they consider helping Harvey right now?
Additionally, the others were eager to auction again, because "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" was so famous that there were many people who wanted it.
At that moment, a young man in a suit walked out from behind the stage with a few bodyguards.
"Mr. Cloude..." The auctioneer let out a sigh of relief when he saw the young man. This was Jude of the Cloudes, the person in charge of the auction, and he already knew about what had happened just now.
Jude's cold gaze travelled around the room before settling on Harvey. He smiled at him. "Sir, I heard that you helped identify the authenticity of "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak". To express our apology, we will pay you an appraisal fee of one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars. Please do not refuse it."
Harvey frowned slightly. What did Jude mean? Giving him an appraisal fee? Was he shamelessly trying to get out of this?
It was understandable though. After all, this was "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak"-a real masterpiece.
Wyatt also smiled after hearing this, and said, "Mr. Cloude, why are you being so polite to this live-in son-i
n-law? He had actually wanted to buy "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak” for fifteen dollars.
Hilarious, right?”
Jude frowned and unconsciously glanced at Wyatt.' Did he say that on purpose? Does he not know that the Mountain Top Auction has to maintain its reputation? I have already come here to play down this matter, so why is he still mentioning it? Does he want to die?'
However, "The Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak" was indeed precious, and the Cloudes dared not mess with the big figure behind this painting. Even if Jude was reluctant, he still had to find a way to get "The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak" back. 1
Jude smiled as he thought about it and continued," Sir, if you think the appraisal fee of one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars is low, you can also name a price. We will surely consider it if it's fair."
Harvey looked at Jude and said slowly, "Mr. Cloude, let's be clear on something: I'm here to participate in your auction to buy things, not identify the authenticity of your things. I bought and paid for "The Rocky Mountains. Lander's Peak"."
"Really!"
All eyes focused on him instantly.
