That box... Isn't it the painting of Plum Blossoms?
Noticing that person across the street about to get into a car, Kenley had no idea but shouted and ran towards the road.
"Wait! Hold on!"
Unfortunately, the person didn't hear her shouts and got into the car directly.
Kenley had to catch up to the car and anxiously pound on the door. "Open the door, open the door!"
The man in the car, with stubble on his face, finally noticed Kenley and rolled down the window, sounding impatient. "What's the matter?"
Kenley pointed to the box placed in the passenger seat.
"Is the painting inside? The cold plum blossom, the one you bought at the Treasures Gallerie?"
The man instantly became alert. "Who are you?"
Kenley knew that her guess was right.
"I also really like this painting. I had already reserved it. Can you let me have it?" She asked.
The rugged man glanced at Kenley from head to toe. "So, how much are you willing to pay?"
"One billion dollars, isn't that the price?" she asked.
"Break even? Why should I waste my time?" The rugged man was about to drive away.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Kenley quickly stopped him. "Fine, how much?"
"At least an additional 20 million," he replied.
"20 million!" Kenley screamed, "You bought this painting for 1 billion, so why should I add 20 million?"
"Miss, do you understand the rules? Once something is sold, the previous price is irrelevant. This painting is mine now, and I can sell it for whatever I want." He responded.
"You!"
The rugged man looked at Kenley. "I see you're a woman, and you really want it. If you can, add 10 million. Otherwise, I'm leaving."
"10 million..."
Beside the car, Kenley twisted the strap of her bag, her eyes filled with struggle.

Meanwhile, Elianna observed the scene at the Treasures Gallerie through her telescope.
Next to her, Abraham finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth, saying, "Ah, there's no need to keep watching. Don't worry, that woman will obediently pay up."
Following his words, Elianna put down her telescope and smiled at Abraham.
"Then, please thank this bearded guy for me, Mr. Morgan."
"There is no need. He should be thanking you for allowing him to profit ten million dollars for free."
Abraham slouched in his rocking chair, already feeling sleepy again.
He yawned and continued, "He usually tricks people with his high-quality counterfeits, a real scoundrel. But he knows how to cover his tracks, so you don't need to worry about it."
As Abraham had told, an hour later, Elianna received the one billion dollars.
The money had made its way through the market, leaving no trace.
Finally receiving this sum of money, Elianna felt relieved.
When she looked at Abraham, her eyes expressed genuine gratitude.
"Thank you again, I would like to offer an additional ten million as a token of my appreciation. Let's grab some coffee," she said.
Abraham replied without much enthusiasm, "There is no need, just keep the hard-earned money for yourself," he added.
"And your trick really worked effectively. You scammed her and protected me. If she ever figures it out, she'll have to blame herself," Abraham remarked.
Hearing that, Elianna smiled but remained silent.
If she hadn't noticed Kenley's attempt to follow her, she wouldn't have come up with this plan and reached such a situation.
Actually, she also knew that Kenley couldn't have gathered the money herself; she must have obtained it from Asher.
Recalling how Asher had forced her to give the money yesterday, Elianna found it incredibly amusing.
If they discovered that they had ended up chasing a fake painting with so much effort, it must be very interesting.
