Chapter 61 The Original Works Of Edric Clifforde Are Worth Millions

“Mr. Weston, did you perhaps make a mistake? Edric Clifforde’s artworks cost at least a few million, but Alex is a live-in son-in-law and would not have that much money on hand!” Jacob was in disbelief and was the first to question the man dressed in traditional clothes.

The man’s name was Michael Weston, an appraiser specially invited from the Jewelry Association, and he was known for being the best appraiser in Nebula City and even the entire Southwest Region.

Many big bosses respected him, and antique collectors liked to ask him to appraise their antique artifacts.

He was never wrong about an artifact’s authenticity.

He could even be named a legend in this industry.

Be that as it may, Jacob and the rest were still doubtful.

They could not believe that Alex could afford an authentic ancient artwork.

If Alex had bought something that costs a few hundred, it would not be hard to believe. Yet, the painting that he bought was worth millions.

“Would you like to take another look at it, Mr. Weston? He lives off of a woman and it’s impossible for him to have that much money even if he sells all of his organs,” Harper questioned hurriedly.

“Huh?” Michael looked at Jacob and Harper unhappily before he scoffed, “Who are the two of you to question my skill?”

As a well-known man throughout Nebula City and even the Southwest Region, Michael was friends with many big shots, and it took Brian three tries to get him to attend Demi’s birthday banquet.

In his mind, he did not care about the Jenningses at all.

They’re just two youngsters from the Jennings family. How dare they question my appraisal skills?

Taken aback, Jacob and Harper realized that they had crossed the line and a flicker of fear started rising within them.

“What are you waiting for? Apologize to Mr. Weston now!” Demi quickly scolded as her expression darkened.

“Mr. Weston, we are sorry, please don’t take it to heart. We were just spouting nonsense,” both Jacob and Harper apologized.

Nonetheless, they still could not believe that Alex had bought an original art piece.

“Hmph! Since the Jenningses does not know how to appreciate this painting, you are not worthy of it then!” Michael grunted and turned to Alex.

A smile appeared on Michael’s face, and he said, “Mister, this must not have cost more than eight hundred thousand when you bought it. However, I am a fan of Edric Clifforde’s artwork. Will you sell it to me for a million?”

What?

Everyone’s doubt vanished when they saw Mr. Weston offered to buy it.

Even Demi was shocked.

Initially, she did not believe that Alex would buy such a painting for herself.

She never expected to receive the most expensive birthday present from someone she looked down the most on.

Even Henry, her favorite grandchild, only gave her jewelry that was worth only about a hundred thousand.

In that instant, she felt bitter.

On the other hand, Heather and Carmen were dumbfounded.

Alex’s gift was worth a million?

Where did he get so much money?

“Heather, did you give him a million?” Carmen whispered her question to Heather.

Heather shook her head and replied, “No, I did not. I offered to give him fifty thousand, but he rejected it.”

She had no idea where Alex got the money from either.

Just then, the memory of Alex gifting them the phone that was worth twenty thousand flashed past her mind and suspicion rose within her heart.

What kind of company would give out four phones of the latest model as its lucky draw prize?

Even if he won the grand prize, they would probably only give one and not four of its phones to the winner.

But if that were the case, how did he get so much money?

“That’s impossible!” Henry, Jacob, and Harper widened their eyes in disbelief.
