Chapter 1584


    Charlie nodded before he said, "Okay then. Let’s ce our bets. If I lose, I will eat my painting. If


    you lose, you will eat your jade pendant."


    "F*ck!" Dn gritted his teeth and continued, "Okay! I don’t believe you! It is settled then! I bought


    my jade pendant for twenty four million dors! I even have the receipt as proof of my transaction.


    How much is your broken painting worth?" i


    Charlie did not actually know how much the painting was worth. However, he knew that the price of


    the Portrait de Famille painting by Henri Matisse had been rising rapidly in recent years. Therefore,


    Charlie was confident that the price of his painting was definitely worth much morepared to the


    price of the jade pendant. 5


    Although it was just a painting, it was by no means any random graffiti. Instead, it was a painting


    that had been very beautifully crafted by a professional artist.


    Henri Mattise’s top painting, the had once been auctioned off for a price of more than four hundred


    million dors. Moreover, this was the auction price for the painting ten years ago. If the painting


    were to b e auctioned off again today, the price of the painting might even exceed eight hundred


    million dors. 5


    Yule was not an ordinary person. Therefore, anything


    that he collects, even if it were just a mere painting, would definitely be one of the finest works


    produced b y Henri Matisse. 3


    Since it was a fine and superb work, then the price of the painting would definitely cost more than


    tens of millions of dors. Coupled with this superb golden frame for the painting, the price of this


    piece of painting would definitely be worth more than twenty four million dors.


    So, Charlie said, "You can ask anyone who knows anything about paintings to determine the price


    of this painting then.” 6


    "Painting?" Dn curled his lips before he continued," What kind of rubbish is this? It is such an


    ugly piece o f work!" 3


    At this time, a knowledgeable person at the side suddenly eximed, "Oh! This looks like a painting


    done by the famous artist Henri Matisse! It is the painting of Portrait de Famille, which is a very


    famous painting!"


    "Yes!" Someone else suddenly chimed in, "This painting seemed to have been auctioned off at


    Christie''s Auction a few years ago. If my memory does not fail me, it was auctioned off to Mr.


    Golding from the Golding family for forty eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand dors!” i


    "Mr. Golding? Are you referring to the chairman of the Golding Group who announced his sudden


    recovery from his illness in a high-profile manner yesterday as he regained total and absolute


    control of the Golding Group?”

    "Yes, that''s him!"


    "That’s weird! How can this young man have Mr.


    Golding''s painting collection in his hands? Could it have been stolen?”


    "Stolen? That is impossible. However, I also think that it is impossible for this painting to be a


    genuine product. I guess it must be an imitation, or perhaps it was copied and recreated by a


    contemporary expert."


    When Dn heard these conversations, he sneered as he said, "Good for you, Charlie! You actually


    dare to try and fool my grandmother with a fake painting! You are really courting your own death!"


    Dn''s grandmother said embarrassedly, "Oh! Both of you should not be fighting like kids over


    here. It is not the gift that counts, but it is the thought behind it that matters the most. Why is it so


    important for you to determine the true price of the gift then? Dn, why don''t you take a step back


    first? After all, Charlie is our guest, and he came from afar!"


    "How can I do that?" Dn gritted his teeth and added, "Grandma, this kid over here had caused


    me to suffer miserably before. This time, I will not let him off so easily!"


    As he spoke, Dn sneered again and continued, "Oh, Charlie... If your painting is the genuine


    product, then i t is probably worth more than my jade pendant then.


    However, since your painting is nothing but a fake, then it would be truly unlikely for it to cost more


    than three thousand dors. So, how about that? Hurry up and start eating the painting now!"


    Charlie smiled before he asked, "What gives you the right to say that this painting is a fake? Are you


    an expert in appraising paintings now?” 4


    Dn pointed at the crowd of people around him who were watching the exciting scene at this time


    and said, "Didn''t you hear what everyone else was saying just now? Are you still reluctant to admit


    your own mistake?"


    As he spoke, Dn said disgustedly, "The authentic painting of Portrait de Famille is in the hands of


    Mr. Golding, who is the chairman of the Golding Group. So, how can a pathetic jerk like you


    possibly get your hands on Mr. Golding''s painting collection?” s


    Charlieughed as he said, "You are right. In fact, Mr. Golding was the one who gave this painting


    to me. I heard someone saying that this painting was worth forty eight million eight hundred and


    eighty thousand dors back then. So, it is definitely more expensive than your jade pendant. So, I


    am not going to continue talking any more nonsense with you now. Why don’t you hurry up and


    swallow that jade pendant of yours?"
