When Oliver heard that the painting was genuine, he did not question Marina again.
Jane also heard the news that Oliver was looking for a master appraiser to authenticate the painting.
She only hoped that the masters he had found were really capable.
Unfortunately, her hope was just hope.
Those people told Oliver that the painting that he had bought was the original.
Jane knew the origin of the fake that she put in clearly. She didn't know how those people who were known as appraisal masters fooled people in the collection field.
The news that she had asked someone to spread on the Internet about the fake didn't work as well as she wanted.
If she released the news again, Oliver would not believe it.
After all, so many people had been invited to authenticate it.
Jane thought that she could only personally contact Simon, which might help. However, she was well-known in the art field.
Simon also saw her at the auction.
If she said that she wanted to see the original personally with an art-loving heart, it might make sense.
Jane called the Williams Group directly. Naturally, they had heard her name. It was their department that was responsible for contacting Vivian to invite Jane back to Birmingham for the exhibition.
Simon was surprised to hear that Jane was looking for him.
He asked, "What can I do for you?"
"Did you take the Fox Mountain Residence? I just came to Birmingham and happened to meet it on display, how could I miss the opportunity to see it personally? So, I want to ask you for help. Can you let me enjoy it?"
Of course, Simon couldn't decide on his own. He had to ask Oliver about it.
He said, "Miss Kim, I'll ask if the painting has been transferred and reply to you later."
Simon immediately went to look for Oliver.
When Oliver heard that Jane wanted to see the original, he refused.
Simon knew that Oliver didn't like Jane, but he couldn't refuse Jane directly.
He might have something to ask for her help in the future. Anyway, he was the only one who solved these troubles.
It was easy for Oliver to say no.
Simon dialed the phone. "Miss Kim, I'm really sorry. The painting has been wandering outside and damaged, so it has been sent to be repaired."
Jane knew that Simon was lying when she heard it.
She knew that Oliver certainly didn't let her see.
Jane smiled, "I wonder if you have heard that it is fake?"
Simon said, "We will send someone to verify it."
Jane sneered secretly. With so many incapable appraisers that you had invited, it would be strange if you could identify them.
"To tell you the truth, I've seen several versions of it. Can you let me take a look? Maybe I can find something different."
Simon also knew that many of the best works of the past had strayed overseas, more so than at home.
"Jane is quite knowledgeable. Maybe she can tell."
Because Simon had always looked down on Marina, naturally, he didn't believe what she was selling.
