Chapter 441 Another Bet


    "It''s just a Piet Mondrian painting; I can snag one for barely anything, not even close to nine billion,


    just a hundred bucks tops."


    Daniel''s im instantly made Smart burst into heartughter. "Ha ha ha ha..."


    After hisughter subsided, he said, "Farm boy, what are you babbling about? You''re saying you


    can get a Piet Mondrian for a hundred bucks? If you pull that off, I''ll call you grandpa."


    "You really wanna be my grandson, Smart? Alright! I''ll take you up on that! But just so you know, I''m


    not necessarily agreeing to be your grandpa. A spendthrift like you isn''t fit to be my grandson!"


    "If you can get a genuine Mondrian for a hundred dors, I''ll call you grandpa. But if you can’t? Not


    only will you kneel and call me grandpa, you''ll also have to leave New York and disappear from


    Jessica''s life."


    Smart wanted to make a bet, one he was sure he''d win. It was impossible to buy an original


    Mondrian for mere pocket change.


    "Deal! I''ll take that bet! But if I win, you, the moron, have to kneel and call me grandpa, too. As for


    Jessica, that''s your problem. You can go after her all you want; you won''t get her anyway."


    That was how confident Daniel was!


    "Deal! I''ll take that bet," Smart nodded, then said with an air of victory, "Go ahead! Show me how


    you''re going to get a real Mondrian with a hundred bucks."


    Daniel pointed to a basket of paintings in the corner, which had a sign: "One Hundred Dors


    Each."


    "Leo, are all these paintings a hundred bucks each?"Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Yes! All these are fakes, some even prints. Take your pick, a hundred each," Leo confirmed.


    "Got any Mondrians in there?"


    Daniel''s question made Leough uncontrobly. "Ha ha ha ha... Farm boy, are you kidding me? A


    hundred-dor print and you''re asking if it''s a Mondrian? Have a dig through; maybe you''ll find


    something, though it''ll be a print."


    Daniel rummaged through the basket and finally found one. It wasbeled ''Piet Mondrian'' and titled


    ''The Red Cloud.'' It featured a swath of red clouds but was indeed a print.


    "This one, Mondrian''s ''The Red Cloud,''" Daniel held up the print and asked Leo, "A hundred bucks,


    right?"


    "Correct, a hundred dors," Leo nodded.


    Daniel turned to Madison with a grin, "Madison, time to pay up! I''ve got you Mondrian''s ''The Red


    Cloud'' for a hundred bucks."


    Daniel''s move left Madison speechless.


    With hands on her hips, she huffed, "I wanted an original Mondrian, not a worthless print!"


    "How''s this worthless? Didn''t Leo say it costs a hundred? A hundred dors is still money!"


    "You... I..."


    "Cut the chit-chat; we''re practically family. Madison, fasten up, pay up, and you might just get a


    surprise!"
