Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 355

Charles Zarate was furious, the aura on him immediately dissipated. He then looked at Harvey York, disdained.

“Young man, what are you saying? Master Naiswell had already concluded that the painting is indeed real, but you’re still here running your mouth. You’re not actually doubting his eyesight now are you?”

Shane Naiswell was the patriarch of treasury appraisal, who would dare to question his abilities?

A lowly live-in son-in-law not willing to admit that he’s wrong even after that, he truly does not fear death.

At that moment, everyone at the fair was judging Harvey with disgust.

Shane Naiswell swung his hand side to side.

“Please, everyone. Harvey’s right. Why don’t you let me finish speaking first?”

‘Huh?’

‘Master Naiswell isn’t done talking? But he had already said that the painting is real. Is he going to take back what he said?’

‘For a live-in son-in-law?’

‘Is he really that worth it?’

Shane kept talking, “This painting is real, yes. But it is not by Jasper Higgins himself, instead it’s painted by Gerald Morton, an imitation of Jasper Higgins’ painting!”

Everyone was trembling as soon as Shane had finished talking, not able to utter a single word.

Nobody had thought that Harvey would get saved from this sticky situation.

The painting really is from Gerald Morton!

This also meant that in this match, Charles had lost and Harvey had won!

In the next moment, gasps echoed throughout the crowd, they all looked at Harvey like he was some kind of monster.

Harvey uncourteously swiped up the antique Rolex on the stand and wore it on his hand. He then took a quick glance at it and smiled.

“I was missing a watch before. Thank you for that, President Zarate.”

“You… You… You…”

Charles was so furious to the point where he was shaking. Anger had built up inside of him rapidly, he then had to sit on the ground paralyzed.

“Master!”

Luis quickly lifted Charles off the ground, then glared at Harvey.

“Harvey, you better give the watch back to my master. A live-in son-in-law like you are not fit to wear it!”

“I don’t think it concerns you whether it fits me or not. If I felt like it, I’ll even let the dog in my house wear it. It has nothing to do with you.”

Harvey rolled his eyes.

Charles’ eyes started to twitch, then trembled even harder.

Luis was lifting Charles, about to leave until Harvey stepped in front of them.

“Kneel.”

“Harvey, you…”

Luis grinded on his teeth. With his status right now, how could he possibly kneel at this moment?

If he kneeled, he and his master would be embarrassed beyond belief.

“Luis, this is a bet. The most important thing about this profession is trust.”

“If you don’t know what it means to keep a promise, I’ll be happy to teach you a lesson!” Shane said from the back.

The game was very exciting, and he was also very satisfied with the experience. But no matter the person, if they were to make a bet in the antique fair that the Naiswells hosted, they would have to fulfill it.

Charles’ face had turned sour. Shane was a giant among men in the profession, nobody dared to go against him.

He even came out just to say all this. If Luis did not fulfill his promise, the consequences would be dire.

With no second thoughts, Luis swiftly kneeled with the sound of his knees impacting the floor and banged his head on the ground.

The moment he banged his head on the ground, his face had made a wretched expression. Truly a baleful sight.

‘Harvey! We’re not done yet!’

Those words kept uttering in Luis’ head, but he would not dare to say them. He was terrified of Shane.

Luis then lifted Charles off the ground and swiftly left the hall like a stray dog.

Shane saw this and only smiled without uttering a word.

Charles and his student had always harbored evil intentions, they even tried to make Rosalie Naiswell theirs.

Disgracing them through Harvey’s hands that day, to Shane Naiswell, was also a nice plan.

At that moment, he was as happy as a child with ice cream.

“Alright, everyone! Let us proceed with the next few antiques.”

Shane wasn’t holding anything back, he let people bring out the rest of the antiques for appraisal.

And with what happened before, everyone placed their sights on Harvey, hoping that he would talk about the antiques thoroughly.
