Chapter 548
Agnes watched all this quietly.
She couldn’t figure out what Jared was thinking
The bracelet wasn’t Beatrice’s, it was hers.
But she guessed Jared probably didn’t know.
She stopped wearing this gem bracelet when she was ten, seemed like her mother put it away back then.
She didn’t expect to see it here today, but Agnes didn’t want to guess what Jared was thinking.
The auction continued.
The next items up for bid were some of Beatrice’s jewelry and clothes. Some items were indeed of high value, but Jared didn’t bid again.
None of the items hit the million mark again.
Soon, the bidding for the last item began.
The item was “Venus”, which had a market value of eight million. This painting was the highlight of the night.
Many rich people and collectors came for this painting, and most importantly, the painting had no reserve price. Once the auction started, the bids kept coming.
In the end, the painting was auctioned off for twenty million.
The final bidder was Manuel, a wealthy man from the Capital who loved to collect famous paintings.
Everyone congratulated him.
Beatrice personally handed over the painting, saying, “Mr. Manuel, your chantable spint will be remembered by all. The twenty million will be donated in full.” Manuel chuckled, “Ms. Beatrice, it’s all because you’re so kind to bring out such a nice painting for charity”
The auction ended, and people started to gather around.
Someone said, “Mr. Manuel, you got such a treasure today, shouldn’t you let us have a look and broaden our horizons?”
Manuel wasn’t stingy, especially in his moment of triumph, he said, “Alright, let’s have everyone enjoy it.”
He put the painting back on the display stand.
Many people gathered around, including Agnes.
The painting was a masterpiece, with delicate strokes, rich colors, and high value for collection and study
Everyone admired and praised it.
After taking a look, Agnes suddenly said, “This “Venus’ is not an original, it’s a fake!
There was a stir at her words.
Beatrice immediately retorted, “Agnes, don’t spout nonsense here. This is absolutely the original piece. Don’t slander without evidence.”
This painting was something Beatrice picked up from the black market not long ago.
She spent over two hundred thousand on it.
But at that time, Beatrice also had experts confirm that it was a real piece, she felt like she hit the jackpot
She bought a treasure valued at eight million for only two hundred thousand.
So she felt it was worth it to use it for charity to gain fame.
But was Agnes here to cause trouble today?
Agnes said softly. “As for whether this painting is authentic or not, let’s have an expert examine it Mr. Manuel, you’re kind to do charity, but if you take a fake back, you’ll be the laughingstock”
Heaning that the painting might be a fake, Manuel couldn’t keep the smile on his face
He was really just passionate about collecting famous paintings, the more famous, the better
But he wasn’t an expert
He only attended today’s birthday party because this painting had been heavily promoted in the art world
To him, twenty million wasnt a big deal
But if hepard twenty million for a fake, wouldn’t he be a fool?
Manuel said, “You must authenticate this painting night away! if it’s a fake. Til sue you for fraud
