The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: A Forgery? Noelle Lockwood, Yours Is the Forgery.

Soon, the butler returned with Noelle Lockwood’s gift.

Just like Estelle Lockwood’s, Noelle Lockwood’s gift was also packaged in a long, rectangular box. It was obvious at a glance that the gift was a scroll.

The butler opened the gift, and everyone was stunned—

It was also a "Purple Sun Mountain Residence Painting"!

It was identical to the previous one. Whether it was the size, color, or material, the two Purple Sun Mountain Residence Paintings were exactly the same.

But as everyone knew, only one such antique existed in the entire world. Therefore, one of these two had to be a forgery!

Estelle Lockwood narrowed her eyes.

Noelle Lockwood’s eyes lit up. She clearly hadn’t expected such a delightful turn of events. She’d previously assumed Estelle Lockwood had stolen her gift, but now, it was obvious Estelle had presented a forgery.

’This is a golden opportunity!’

Noelle Lockwood was eager to act, but she put on a surprised expression. "This... two Purple Sun Mountain Residence Paintings?"

She hesitated for a moment before giving a gentle reminder, "Yara, where did you buy this Purple Sun Mountain Residence Painting? If you need me to, I can help you call the police."

Everyone froze for a second, not quite understanding.

Estelle Lockwood, however, understood. Her gaze shifted, and she glanced at Noelle Lockwood.

Noelle Lockwood was implying that her painting was a forgery.

’But this painting was collected by Old Mr. Kendrick years ago. The Kendrick Family would never buy a fake... So, whose is the real forgery?’

Seeing Estelle Lockwood remain silent, Noelle Lockwood bit her lip and said with feigned concern, "Yara, I know forgeries are made so convincingly these days that a layperson can’t tell the difference. It’s not your fault. Just tell me who the seller was. No matter what, I have to help you recover your losses."

Only then did the crowd understand!

Oh, so Yara’s painting was the fake!

No wonder. They had been wondering how there could be two Purple Sun Mountain Residence Paintings in the world.

Besides, someone had just mentioned that Noelle Lockwood bought hers from Jade Pavilion. How could Jade Pavilion possibly sell a forgery? The owner of Jade Pavilion was the young master of the Capital City’s Kendrick Family!

Seeing Noelle Lockwood being so kind-hearted, the crowd started chiming in.

"It seems Miss Yara bought a fake. We can’t let something like this slide! Forging and selling antiques is illegal!"

"That’s right, Miss Yara! Where did you buy this painting, and from whom?"

"Tell us, and we’ll definitely get justice for you!"

Noelle Lockwood’s lips curved slightly as she said insinuatingly, "Yara, it’s alright. You don’t understand these things, so don’t take it to heart if you were tricked."

Laura Jennings was a different story. Having finally found an opportunity, she sneered loudly, "So it was a forgery!"

"Iris, what’s with you? The junior you thought so highly of actually gave you a forgery at your own birthday banquet!"

"Tsk, tsk. They say a layperson can’t tell the difference, but how is it that our Noelle managed to buy the authentic one, while the one Yara gave is a fake? It must be because Yara just wasn’t thoughtful enough!"

"If you ask me, when buying antique paintings like this, you should go to a reputable place. It might be a bit more expensive, but at least you can be sure it’s real. Yara, you didn’t try to save a little money, did you?"

Iris Sloan’s face turned pale. She looked at Estelle Lockwood, a flicker of worry in her eyes.

She didn’t suspect that Estelle Lockwood would deliberately buy a forgery; she thought Estelle had been scammed. But as long as the painting was a fake, Laura Jennings and Noelle Lockwood would have an opportunity to attack her!

After Laura Jennings finished speaking, she shot a meaningful look into the crowd.
