Chapter 1073


    However, what X Quest found weird was the fact that this was a well-imitated oil painting, but


    why was it still framed so intricately?


    The frame of the painting was even coated in gold…


    “It’s too fake…” X said.


    “I think it’s a little fake, too,” Sharon Lindt said softly.


    When a young woman next to Sharon heard this, she instantlyughed. “How could fake items


    appear in an auction of this magnitude? It must be real…”


    X nced at that woman. “But I don’t think it is…”


    However, the woman shook her head. “How is it not real… You overthink.”


    “Yeah, don’t you know? This is Van Gogh’s true work of art, alright? Where do you think this is?


    How could they sell imitated stuff here?” A young man next to the woman chipped in.


    A small group of people around the young man and woman also nodded in agreement. Based on


    the way they looked at X, it seemed as if they were secretlyughing at her.


    Neither Sharon nor X continued making small talk with them. Instead, they looked at each other


    and smiled calmly before shifting their gazes back to the painting.


    The two women emanated an aura of calmness that belonged to strong individuals.


    “This is a well-imitated painting of sunflowers that our auction house owner possesses. It’s from an


    unknown artist, and its date of origin is also unknown… The starting bid price for this is 50,000,” the


    beautiful auctioneer said.


    When the people who made fun of X heard this, they all suddenly became quiet.


    Sharon red at them coldly before shifting her gaze back to the painting.


    “What’s going on? Why would an imitated art piece be sold in an auction like this?”


    “Yeah… Do they think we’ll be happy with this?”


    A few people in the grand lobbyined…


    The beautiful auctioneer smiled awkwardly…


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    For the next five minutes, no one made any bid. The venue waspletely silent…


    When the beautiful auctioneer saw this, she immediately made a desperate attempt to sell this


    painting to everyone. However, nobody was convinced.


    As if suddenly recalling something, X activated her prating vision…


    Soon, her gaze pierced through the imitated painting of sunflowers…


    After her gaze pierced through it, she soon saw another painting hidden behind it.


    The painting behind the sunflowers was a golden wheat field.


    Be it the brushwork, the use of color, or style, this painting resembled Van Gogh’s work.


    The only difference between this painting and the wheat field by Van Gogh she saw in a foreign


    museum was that, apart from a vast area of wheat and the sky, there was nothing else in this


    painting.


    X was confident that this was the actual work of Van Gogh.


    Meanwhile, this was probably the case of a painting within a painting her master had frequently


    mentioned to her.


    X’s master told her that some collectors in the past would hide an actual work of art behind


    another painting of little value to prevent theft and to avoid battles.


    X raised her card that had ‘Number 28’ written on it. “100,000…” She offered.


    “X, why are you bidding? Do you want this fake art?” Sharon asked.


    “You’ll find out in a while,” X said softly with a chuckle.


    “Is she dumb… How is this painting worth 100,000? I think even ten dors would be too much…”


    “She’s rich, and she probably can do whatever she wants…”


    “She even said it’s fake herself. Why would she still spend so much money on it?”


    The people around X couldn’t resist whispering amongst themselves.


    To everyone in the crowd now, X was a major fool who spent money to buy fake goods.
