Chapter 1586


    As he spoke, the old man suddenly called Loreen over and said, "Come here, Loreen! Come and


    get to know M r. Wrigley!”


    Loreen''s grandfather, uncle, and father surprisingly had unanimous views about Loreen’s marriage.


    They all felt that Loreen should be marrying a young master from a top and prestigious family so


    that she could bring glory to the Thomas family.


    This was also why they arranged for Loreen to work for the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill.


    However, even though Loreen left for Aurous Hill for such a long time, she had not even caught a


    glimpse o f the chairman of Emgrand Group yet. So, they were gradually starting to lose patience


    over this matter, s


    Now that they saw Wrigley standing in front of them, all of them had the same idea. They were all


    hoping that Loreen could end up together with Wrigley. If that was the case, the Thomas family


    would be able to soar and lift its rank just like that.


    As soon as Wrigley saw Loreen, he could only stare directly at Loreen in shock.


    Although there were many beautiful women in


    Eastcliff, there were not that many beautiful youngdies from a wealthy and prestigious family. 4


    After all, it was often very difficult for a person toe from an excellent family background and


    have a n excellent appearance at the same time. 6


    Although the Thomas family was not exactly amongst the top families, Loreen was really very


    beautiful!This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Therefore, Wrigley immediately had some thoughts and interest in Loreen.


    He did not hesitate to stretch out his hand as he said i n a gentlemanly manner, "Miss Thomas, it''s


    nice to meet you!" 5


    Loreen had a somewhat cold and indifferent expression on her face, and she deliberately refused to


    reach out her hand to meet his. Instead, she simply nodded and said, "It''s nice to meet you too, Mr.


    Wrigley." 3


    At this time, Loreen''s father, Javier, reprimanded her immediately, "Loreen! Why are you being so


    rude and impolite? Why didn''t you shake hands with Mr.


    Wrigley?!" 3


    To which Loreen replied, "I am sorry, Mr. Wrigley. I touched a stray cat by the door just now, and I


    haven’t washed my hands yet." 3


    Wrigley could not help but feel a little upset. Loreen was actually putting on airs in front of him, and


    she did not even want to shake hands with him at all. She was seriously not giving him any face at


    all! 4


    However, Wrigley did not get angry. He simply


    endured the humiliation because he wanted to leave a good impression on Loreen so that it would


    be convenient for him to start any further in-depth development and rtionship with her. 4


    At this time, Dn hurriedly brought the painting that Charlie had brought with him here today over


    to Wrigley. After that, he greeted Wrigley respectfully before he said, "Oh! Mr. Wrigley, it is really


    good that you came here on time. There is a fool here who is saying that this painting belongs to


    your eldest uncle, and he insists that this painting is genuine! I suspect that this kid is deliberately


    using a fake painting to ride on your eldest uncle''s reputation to show off!" 2


    After that, he handed the painting over to Wrigley before he asked him respectfully, "Look! Mr.


    Wrigley, this is the painting that I am talking about! Is this a genuine painting? Why don’t you tell


    everyone if it is truly a genuine painting or not?" 4


    Wrigley frowned. He did not know anything about antiques at all. So, how could he possibly tell


    whether this is an authentic painting or not? He did not even know anything about the origins of this


    painting.


    Fortunately, at this time, Dn said tly, "This is the painting of Portrait de Famille done by the


    famous artist, Henri Matisse. It is said that your eldest uncle bought this painting for forty eight


    million eight hundred and eighty thousand dors back then!"


    After Wrigley heard these words, he quickly tried to think about the situation. If the authentic and


    original painting really belonged to his uncle, then there was n o way that he would be willing to sell


    the painting to anyone. 5


    After all, his eldest uncle had always attached great importance to antiques. He had always treated


    his antique collections as a very treasured possession, and he would only continue adding to his


    collection without giving anything away. He had already bought various famous paintings over the


    years. It was said that his collection of paintings alone already amounted to tens of billions of


    dors.


    Although the transactional price of this painting was only forty eight million eight hundred and eighty


    thousand dors, based on his understanding of his own uncle, it was simply impossible for him to


    give away any of his precious collection. 6


    What''s more, his uncle was not even acquainted with the Thomas family at all. The Thomas family


    would not even have the opportunity to try and curry any favor with him. So, why would his uncle


    take out any o f his prized possessions to give it to Lady Thomas as a birthday gift then? 3


    Therefore, Wrigley concluded that the painting in front of him must be a fake! 4


    As he thought about this, Wrigley immediately asked i n a cold voice, "Which idiot actually dares to


    pretend that the painting came from my uncle''s collection? Is the said person tired of living?"
