The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 59

When everyone heard that Lily’s father was a cultural relic appraiser, they immediately cast a contemptuous and sympathetic gaze at Charlie, i

All of them shared the same thought-Charlie was so unlucky!

His show-off moment was interrupted by the presence of an expert! It was like a slap right across his own face!

It would be so humiliating if Lawson Lewis, Lily's father, came downstairs!

Claire blushed timidly. She leaned closer to Charlie and whispered, "So many people are watching you. You'd better not be stubborn, it would be so embarrassing otherwise!"

On their way here, Charlie did tell her about the painting he bought but he said that it didn't cost him a lot of money. Right now, however, he changed his attitude and claimed that it was very expensive. His sudden change of reaction made Claire a little doubtful and skeptical, figuring that Charlie might have lied for the sake of his reputation.

On the contrary, Charlie was indifferent. He blurted, "If you don't believe me, let the expert do his job then."

Then, he added, "Oh yes, by the way, everyone, remember what Clinton said, okay? He is so stubborn

that he wants to bet with me again and this time, he’s going to eat the table." 1

Clinton gritted his teeth in agony when the image of his burning car reappeared in his mind. He growled angrily, "Charlie, you f*cking snobbish dude! The racing thing was a trap and I've paid my price for it! TH do the same this time! If that painting of yours is really worth that much, I'll eat this table right away! If it's worthless crap, would you eat it?" 2

Charlie nodded casually. "Alright, if it's worthless, I'll eat it."

Although the painting was not a famous painting, it was indeed the work of the Dutch Golden Age painter Rachel Ruysch. Moreover, the antique store that he bought the painting from was a popular antique store that had franchises all over the country with genuine guarantees. Hence, he was certain that the painting was authentic. 3

Claire wanted to stop Charlie, but he had already agreed to the bet before she was able to respond, so she could only sigh in desperation. 1

Doreen, on the other hand, was feeling rather odd and peculiar. Why did Charlie seem so confident? 1

When she recalled the incidents that happened around him lately, she realized that the man was very mysterious and enigmatic. She was still very shocked after what happened in Heaven Springs the other day. The infamous Don Albert bowed at him like a lowly servant! Why? She hadn't figured out yet. 1

One thing she was certain-it must have something to do with his identity!
