The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 197

Amara's look also turned gloomy. She didn't know the relationship between Casey and Leonardo, so she really thought that as soon as she left, something good happened to Stevens family.

Edith gave Casey a strange look. She knew the relationship between Casey and Leonardo, and according to the previous situation, Leonardo couldn't pay attention to the Stevens family at all. Now Leonardo came to congratulate Caelan on his birthday. It was probably because of Casey.

"You guys, stand aside quickly and don't stand in the way of Master Leonardo." Sidney walked over and drove Amara and the others aside.

Amara was full of anger, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only take Edith and others to the side.

In the past few days in Yutian County, Amara also learned about Master Leonardo's greatness and knew that they could not afford to provoke him, so it was better to stay away at this time.

Soon, a group of people walked in outside the door, it was Leonardo who took the lead, and beside him was a gray-haired old man, who was dressed in Tang clothes and looked like free from vulgarity.

This person was Riley Parry, the famous appraiser in Yutian County.

At this time, Riley was holding the "Fishing in Stream" that was thrown out by Melissa.

Caelan was full of excitement. Unexpectedly, not only Master Leonardo, but also Riley, a professional treasure appraiser, followed him. He was thinking about finding an expert to appreciate his painting. After all, only an expert confirmed the authenticity of his painting, could people dare to buy it.

He walked towards the front with respect, and said, "Master Leonardo, Riley, welcome here. I didn't expect you to come to my birthday banquet. It is really a great honor to the Stevens family!"

Leonardo glanced towards the courtyard, looking for Casey. Although the Stevens family was not a small family, it was still far behind Leonardo, so Leonardo would care them.

He came here entirely because of Casey's order.

After seeing Casey standing in the corner, Leonardo was about to greet Casey. Casey gave him a look. Leonardo knew what he meant, and did not go over.

Because he didn't know the relationship between Casey and Caelan now, Leonardo still said politely, "Mr. Caelan, you look very hale and hearty. You are able to live to be a hundred."

Caelan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Leonardo. I am old and I may pass away someday."

"Mr. Caelan, your family is so extravagant. You even threw Tang Yin's authentic work outside the door. Are there too many of them in your family, so should you throw it out?" Riley said with a smile.

Melissa ran over to get close to Leonardo and Riley, and said with a smile, "Riley, don't humor me, this painting is fake. The genuine one is with Caelan. An ingrate person wanted to deceive Caelan with the fake painting but did except he has bought the genuine one. So, I threw out the fake painting."

"That's right. I bought the authentic painting from the antique market a few days ago. It seems that I got a good deal. Tang Yin's "Fishing in Stream" was bought by me for 300,000 dollars. It's a good luck." Caelan also said somewhat proudly.

"Take my painting and let Riley have a look."

After hearing what Caelan said, Riley frowned immediately, and quickly stared at the painting in his hand. He had already observed carefully just now. This was indeed Tang Yin's authentic work. Even though he was just a treasure appraiser in a county, he could recognize Tang Yin's authentic work.

Caelan asked someone to take the painting he bought back and hand it to Riley.

"Riley, please have a look and give me some advice. As far as I can see, this is Tang Yin's authentic painting. The one in your hand may be a fake bought from a small stall. It has no ornamental value," Caelan said.

Riley took Caelan's painting and took a closer look. After that, a scornful smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Mr. Caelan, don't make fun of me. The workmanship of this painting is imitated by machines. The imitated strokes have obvious faults and weak strokes. How could this be Tang Yin's authenticity."

As soon as he said this, Caelan's eyes widened immediately, and the people in the Stevens family were all surprised. To their surprise, Riley said that the painting Caelan bought was a fake.

"Riley, please have a careful look. Do you read it wrong, this one is really a painting of Tang Yin, I observed it carefully for a long time and I am very sure," Caelan said anxiously.

At this time, Riley suddenly patted his forehead and asked, "Did you buy this painting from aPreston in the antique market?"

Caelan's eyes lit up suddenly and he nodded quickly. He thought Riley knew that he had made a mistake just now, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Yes, it's him. He isn't discriminating. He insisted that this painting is a fake, but I bought it for 300,000 dollars. Do you know that the authentic painting is with him?" Caelan said.
