Chapter 1589


    Dn really felt like dying at this time.


    He really could not understand what kind of ability Charlie had that he could even make the young


    master of the Golding family be so polite and respectful to him!


    Even if he really were a Feng Shui master, it would still simply be impossible for Wrigley to give him


    so much face like that, right?


    However, he did not dare to ask this question.


    After all, looking at the situation now, it was obvious that Wrigley was really very respectful towards


    Charlie. 4


    At this time, Jeryl who was standing aside had alreadye to a realization that Wrigley was not


    their most distinguished guest today. In fact, this youngd with thest name Wade was their most


    distinguished guest! 4


    So, he hurriedly told Dn, "Dn! Why don''t you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Wade now?”


    Dn really did not expect that his uncle would also yell at him to get him to apologize to Charlie. It


    was clear that even his own family members were not on his side this time.


    However, although he was very upset and dissatisfied


    with Charlie deep down in his heart, he did not dare to cause any more trouble with Charlie. So, he


    could only cry out loud as he said, "Mr. Wade, I am sorry. I should not have insulted you. I hope that


    a magnanimous person like you would not hold it against a petty person like me..." 4


    Charlie waved his hand before he said, "These are all trivial matters. I won''t take it to heart."


    Dn instantly heaved a huge sigh of relief. He really did not expect Charlie not to hold any


    grudges against him at all. So, he hurriedly bowed before Charlie as he said, "Thank you Mr. Wade


    for your graciousness!"


    Charlie waved his hand and said, "You don''t need to mention such trivial formalities in front of me.


    Even though you had scolded and insulted me just now, I won''t hold it against you. However, our


    bet still has to go on. As the saying goes, a man should always keep t o his word and hold up to his


    end of the bargain!" 3


    "Ahh?!”


    When Dn heard that Charlie had wanted to continue with their bet, he felt as though he had fallen


    into an abyss in an instant!


    He had originally thought that the painting that Charlie had brought with him here today was


    definitely a fake or imitation painting that he bought outside. He would never have believed that this


    painting was an authentic painting belonging to Mr. Golding.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Therefore, he was certain that the price of his painting would certainly not be higher than the price


    of his jade pendant. No matter how good a painter was, it was simply impossible for a painting to be


    even more expensive than the jade pendant that he had specially prepared for his grandmother.


    However, it seemed as though the situation had reversed.


    This was because Wrigley, the eldest young master of the Golding family, was so respectful toward


    Charlie. Therefore, this proved that Charlie was definitely a very important person in the eyes of the


    Golding family!


    Since this was the case, then it would be highly likely that the painting in Charlie’s hand had really


    been given to him by Yule!


    Someone mentioned earlier that Yule had spent 48.88 million dors to purchase this painting


    drawn by Henri Matisse back then! 6


    The price of the painting back then was already twice as much as the price of his jade pendant!


    What’s more, the antique and collectibles market had been soaring in recent years. This was


    especially so in the painting and calligraphy market. So, the prices of Henri Matisse''s paintings had


    been getting higher and higher and they rarely ever made any more appearances in the auction


    market in recent years.


    This was mainly because the price of Henri Matisse''s paintings had already risen so high that the


    collectors hoped to hold onto his paintings for a period of time and only sell them when the rate of


    appreciation and value temporarily started to slow down. 7


    If this was the case, then at this time, the price of Henri Matisse''s paintings would naturally be even


    more expensive now that it was before in previous years. 4


    If this painting were to be put up for auction, then it would be able to sell for at least sixty to seventy


    million dors.


    The price of this painting would greatly surpass the price of his jade pendant, which cost only 24


    million dors. 6


    Dn could not help but feel terrified when he thought about this.


    Charlie insisted on honoring their bet. ording to their bet, if he loses the bet, then he would have


    to swallow this jade pendant...
