My Revenge Life, Fatty to Sexy

Chapter 547 The Wheat Field

The six bodyguard cars that Allie brought over also stopped after Allie.

Immediately afterwards, the twelve bodyguards were the first to get out of the car and automatically

split into two teams, standing on either side of the pink Lamborghini supercar.

The two bodyguards, positioned close to the car door, coincidentally, pulled the door open for the

mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Immediately afterwards, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, each getting out of their side of the car,

walked tacitly towards each other, arm in arm, and into the hotel.

Because it was a super-large antique auction, the venue, chosen for the auction, was the hotel's

largest ballroom, the Dragon and Phoenix Room.

The ballroom, at this point, was full of people.

After looking around calmly, Jocelyn held Allie's hand and walked to the middle of the first row where

they were sitting.

From the moment they entered to the moment they took their seats, the two of them attracted the

attention of more than a few men.

Jocelyn in particular, a beautiful young woman of wealth, was the talk of the town.

The men are surrounded by partners who are jealous of such images.

Not long after they sat down, the auction started.

The beautiful auctioneer, after coming on stage and saying a formal opening speech, went straight to

the point, "The first item to be brought to you next is a French aristocratic custom-made antique

diamond emerald bracelet, starting at 3 million."

As soon as she said this, three staff members pushed up the auction items, which were placed inside a

transparent anti-theft glass enclosure.

Below the mirror was a transparent automatic swivel table.

Because of its rotation, one can take in the details on the front mirror and see them clearly.

Soon on the big screen, a magnified image of this mirror also appeared.

This is a very delicate bracelet, measuring 18.3cm in length and weighing 58g.

It is covered in a pale green patina from age.

Luxury full set natural diamonds emeralds.

After a long introduction from the auctioneer, he cut to the chase once again, "This bracelet, starting bid

is three million."

Jocelyn was quite interested in the bracelet and started bidding on it.

In the end, she took the bronze mirror for one and a half million.

Next, the beautiful auctioneer began a steady stream of introductions of various antiques.

From bracelets and porcelain, royal brooches, and much more.

And it was only the bracelet that interested Jocelyn.

Not so with Allie, who is interested in many things.

As the auction drew to a close, Allie had a good haul.

"Next, I would like to introduce the last item in the auction." added the auctioneer.

The crowd was all interested, setting their eyes on her in anticipation of the next treasure.

Soon a handsome staff member in a suit, carefully carrying a framed oil painting, came on stage.

It is a sunflower by Van Gogh, and there are three sunflowers on the painting.

Although it looked nothing like the real Van Gogh, Jocelyn could see that it was a copy.

This painter is deliberately imitating Van Gogh's style, and the imitation is indeed very similar, but many

small details betray it.

There are differences, for example, in the brushwork, and in the colours.

Therefore, she concluded that it was a pair of high replica sunflowers.

What struck her as odd, though, was why the framing was so elaborate when it was clearly a copy

painting.

The frame is even gold plated.

"It's so fake." said Jocelyn.

"I think it's a bit fake too." Allie whispered.

A young woman beside Allie smiled at her words, "How could there be fakes at an auction of this size?

This must be real."

Jocelyn gave the woman a faint look and added, "But it doesn't look like real to me."

The woman, however, shook her head, "How can it not look like real. You're thinking too much."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Yes, do you understand? This is a real Van Gogh, okay? Where do you think this is? How can you

possibly auction off an imitation?" A young man beside the woman added.

Around the young man and woman, a small group of people nodded in approval, looking at Jocelyn

with a few hints of derision in their eyes.

Allie and Jocelyn did not speak to either of them again, but looked at each other with a bemused smile

and placed their eyes on the painting.

Both of them ignored these people.

"This painting, a high replica sunflower from the private collection of our auction house owner, is from

the hand of an unknown artist of unknown age. Starting bid is fifty thousand." The beautiful auctioneer

added.

Hearing these words, those few people who were laughing at Jocelyn were quiet.

Allie glanced at them coldly before placing her gaze on the painting once again.

"What's the deal? Why do you put high replica paintings at an auction like this?"

"That's right. Is this the kind of painting you bring out to amuse us?"

In the hall, a few people complained.

The beautiful auctioneer laughed with an embarrassed look on her face.

For the next five minutes, no one bid and the scene was quiet.

Seeing this, the beautiful auctioneer began to give the painting a desperate effort to enthuse everyone,

however, there was no one to buy it.

Suddenly thinking of something, Jocelyn turned on her see-through eyes.

Soon, her gaze pierced through the sunflower high quality replica.

After her eyes penetrated the high replica painting, she soon saw another painting hidden behind it.

The painting at the back was a golden field of wheat.

The painting, in terms of brushwork, colour and style, is all in the style of Van Gogh.

The only difference between it and a Van Gogh wheat field she had seen before in a foreign museum

was that on this one, there was nothing but a large field of wheat, and the sky.

She concluded that the latter was the real Van Gogh.

And in front of her, it would be the painting within a painting that her master had often mentioned to her.

Her master had told her that in the past some collectors, in order to prevent theft, as well as to avoid

war, would make paintings within paintings by placing paintings that were really before them, behind

paintings that were not valuable.

Jocelyn raised her number 28 and began to bid, "100,000."

"Jocelyn, what are you doing? Such a fake painting, you want it too?" Allie asked.

"You'll find out in a moment." Jocelyn smiled and whispered.

"Isn't it silly? Just this painting is worth a hundred thousand? Ten is too much for me."

"How come you have to drop money on it when you said it was a fake yourself?"

The people around couldn't help but whisper and talk.

Now, in the eyes of the crowd, Jocelyn was a big fool who spent money on fake goods.
