Goodbye, My Love

They continued to bid on the painting, and its price exceeded all the previous biddings. The atmosphere grew tense.

Loraine was sick of it and made her final bid, which was enormous for a single painting.

“Three million and five hundred thousand!”

Curran was dumbfounded. He finally gave up.

Loraine bought the painting at ten times its original price.

“Well done!”

Jennie applauded after Loraine won the bid. She was proud of her best friend. Loraine had done a magnificent job.

Vickie didn’t expect Curran to yield. She bitterly walked up to

Loraine.

“Loraine, you are indeed very brave and generous. Let me cut to the chase. Do you really have that much money?”

Loraine rolled her eyes.

“Don’t make a fool of yourself, Vickie. Don’t you know that every bidder has to go through the assets verification process before attending the auction?”

Vickie was here only because of Curran. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be qualified to attend the auction. She had no idea about the rules and customs of the elite populace.

Seeing people eyeing her with contempt, Vickie gritted her teeth but couldn’t find words to refute.

Just when everyone thought the bidding of the oil painting was about to end, Curran burst out Laughing. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh, don’t be too excited, Miss Torres. You have spent three million and five hundred thousand to buy a forged painting.”

The crowd Let out a startled gasp when they heard that.

“What? The painting is fake? It can’t be true!”

“Right. That’s impossible. This is from Claude Charity Auction and has undergone expert evaluation. There’s no way it’s a counterfeit.”

“This man is Curran. He has gained fame in the antique circle. If he claims it’s a forged painting, then it might be true.”

Curran became cocky as everyone broke into a heated discussion.

He had been in the antique business for more than thirty years and specialized in buying and selling antique paintings. He had studied

Sirloin’s works and collected several other paintings of the renowned painter. Therefore, his observation couldn’t go wrong.
