Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 25

“Mr. Dorthea’s painting?

“Impossible!”

Someone snapped, “Everyone knows that Mr. Dorthea no longer auctions his paintings. It can’t be his painting.”

“Yes, they dared to auction a fake painting. Do they really think we are all fools?”

Today, the people who came to participate in the auction were all famous people in New York. Their anger was not something that BQ magazine could bear.

Ross broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, “This painting of Mr. Dorthea’s was sponsored by an anonymous person. The person promised that it was genuine.”

“Who would believe it?” Someone immediately retorted and continued, “Who is this anonymous person? Come out and prove that this is a genuine painting.”

The auctioned items tonight were sponsored by the people who came to participate in the banquet, so the so-called anonymous person was definitely present.

Since he dared to auction a fake painting in the name of Damon, they wanted to see who was so shameless!

Theodore frowned, his face full of displeasure. They actually dared to say that the painting his younger sister sponsored was fake!

Just as he was about to stand up, Elaina, who was beside him, was one step ahead of him. “I sponsored the painting.”

A slightly cold voice entered everyone’s ears, and they all looked at her.

It was her!

Theodore’s younger sister and the woman who angered Jalen.

“This painting was indeed drawn by Mr. Dorthea. It is not a fake painting,” she spoke indifferently, not a trace of panic in her eyes.

“What evidence do you have? Every painting that Mr. Dorthea auctioned has a clear destination. Yours…”

The man pondered for a moment and then said, “This painting of yours has never appeared before. Is it Mr. Dorthea’s new work?”

“Indeed.” Elaina nodded, thinking that this man knew quite a bit about her master’s painting. He recognized at a glance that it was a new work that had never appeared before.

Not only did she not refute it, but she also admitted it directly. Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a fool.

“Mr. Dorthea has already said that he would not auction any new paintings. Before you took advantage of his reputation, you should at least inquire around, lest you make a show of yourself like this.”

“Yes, do you think we are all fools?”

As the crowd spoke, they were already convinced that this was a fake painting, and even the way they looked at Theodore had changed.

Elaina was brought with him, and it was possible that they were in cahoots.

“Dr. Gainsford, although it is good that you want to be charitable, it is somewhat inappropriate for you to do this.”

“Mr. Dorthea is a famous master in painting. Everyone likes his paintings very much. But you used a fake one to deceive everyone. It will cause public anger. Hurry up and apologize,” Marie said earnestly.

Her words were all for Elaina’s good, but she believed that this was a fake painting.

Elaina glanced at her and sneered, “You haven’t even confirmed the authenticity of the painting and want me to admit my mistake!”

“It’s useless to deny it. Many people here are Mr. Dorthea’s fans. They know Mr. Dorthea’s paintings best. What’s the use of denying it?”

Although Marie still looked worried for Elaina, she was gloating secretively.

Marie had just been anxious about how to make Elaina make a fool of herself, but she didn’t expect Elaina to

make a show of herself.

Elaina ignored Marie and swept her eyes across the crowd. A moment later, she looked at Ross and said

lightly, “Since everyone suspects the authenticity of the painting, then let’s ask for an appraiser for help.

What do you think?”

“Alright. I’ll contact an appraiser right away.” Ross hurriedly nodded, feeling extremely uneasy. If this was true,

then BQ magazine would become a joke tonight.

He could only pray that Theodore, the upstart of New York, was reliable. After all, he was the one who

vouched for the painting at that time. But he was afraid that Theodore was kept in the dark too.
