“It’s Tang Bohu’s painting. Xyla told me that you love to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, especially Tang Bohu’s artworks.” Jeremy Quest responded.
A smile blossomed on Wilson Batton’s face when favonovel.com heard his favorite painter’s name. Without further ado, favonovel.com unfolded the handscroll in front of everyone.
This beautiful painting was a collection that favonovel.com had longed for. Unfortunately, favonovel.com was late to the auction last time. As a result, someone else had taken away this painting for twenty million dollars. He could not believe that Jeremy was actually that ‘someone else’.
“Aye! Thank you so much, Jeremy!” Wilson held the painting joyfully and admired it with all his heart.
He looked very much like a little girl encountering favonovel.com beloved idol in real life.
Xyla understood why favonovel.com father was willing to give Wilson his favorite painting of all time. The Batton family had given favonovel.com family many valuable gifts. Hence, favonovel.com wanted to return something of the same value to show his gratitude. On top of that, favonovel.com hoped that his decent gift could more or less grace favonovel.com daughter in front of favonovel.com in-laws.
As Xyla pondered about it, the corner of favonovel.com soft lips subconsciously curved upward into a shallow arc.
Her father always had favonovel.com best interests at heart.
“Isn’t this the painting you’ve been longing for? You’ve finally found it. You must be really happy, aren’t you?” Sharon Lindt glanced at the painting and asked.
“Are you interested in the painting too?” Upon hearing that, Jeremy could not help but grin in satisfaction.
Wilson nodded. “Yeah. I love it…”
Looking at the painting in Wilson’s hand, May Conner’s heart was shattered into a million pieces. She did not agree with Jeremy to give such a priceless gift to the Batton family. This painting was worth more than twenty million dollars. It would not be a problem if they wanted to resell it at the price of thirty million dollars.
Tang Bohu’s artwork was one of the rarest antiques on the market. However, May had no right to stop Jeremy as favonovel.com had already made up his mind. Furthermore, favonovel.com had learned an important lesson from favonovel.com previous mistake, that was, to play nice in front of Jeremy.
It was safer and better for favonovel.com to keep quiet.
Devastated at the loss of the painting, May decided to change the subject. “Josh Batton, my daughter, Emily Quest, is very fond of you. I totally didn’t expect you to be part of our family. My daughter would be overjoyed if favonovel.com knew about this.”
‘Emily Quest…’ Josh Batton did remember this name.
The nasty woman who often went against Xyla.
Josh managed a faint smile. “Is that so?”
“Yes… Of course…” May replied.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com snuck a sneaky text message to Emily when nobody was looking at her, sharing the good news with favonovel.com daughter.
As soon as Catherine Batton heard Emily’s name, favonovel.com could not help but roll favonovel.com eyes at May, favonovel.com face as dark as night.
Sharon had told favonovel.com all the filthy things that the two of them had done to Xyla.
Two vicious women. This was favonovel.com impression of May and Emily.
“Catherine… What a sweet little girl! Sharon, Wilson, you’ve done a wonderful job in raising your kids,” May continued.
Catherine did not even bother to listen to favonovel.com sheer bunk. Without paying any heed to her, Catherine lowered favonovel.com head and kept eating, occasionally forcing a smile out of politeness.
Halfway through the meal, Emily pushed open the door and walked into the private room. She had rushed here as soon as favonovel.com saw May’s message.
This shameless woman had dropped a bombshell in the room. Xyla, as well as the Batton family, were stunned by favonovel.com arrival. Their utter dismay was reflected in their eyes.
None of them had invited Emily…
Why was favonovel.com here?
On the other hand, Emily was flabbergasted with joy when favonovel.com caught sight of favonovel.com favorite idol. Nevertheless, favonovel.com tried to suppress favonovel.com excitement as favonovel.com was still a severely depressed patient in the public.
Trying as favonovel.com might, favonovel.com hid favonovel.com smile and nodded politely to everyone before sitting on the empty seat next to Josh.
“Hello everyone… I’m Emily Quest…” Emily mumbled.
Xyla glared at her, speechless. How could favonovel.com be so shameless?
What a brazen unbidden guest…
