The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 197

Amara's look also turned gloomy. She didn't know the relationship between Casey and Leonardo, so she really thought that as soon as she left, something good happened to Stevens family.

Edith gave Casey a strange look. She knew the relationship between Casey and Leonardo, and according to the previous situation, Leonardo couldn't pay attention to the Stevens family at all. Now Leonardo came to congratulate Caelan on his birthday. It was probably because of Casey.

"You guys, stand aside quickly and don't stand in the way of Master Leonardo." Sidney walked over and drove Amara and the others aside.

Amara was full of anger, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only take Edith and others to the side.

In the past few days in Yutian County, Amara also learned about Master Leonardo's greatness and knew that they could not afford to provoke him, so it was better to stay away at this time.

Soon, a group of people walked in outside the door, it was Leonardo who took the lead, and beside him was a gray-haired old man, who was dressed in Tang clothes and looked like free from vulgarity.

This person was Riley Parry, the famous appraiser in Yutian County.

At this time, Riley was holding the "Fishing in Stream" that was thrown out by Melissa.

Caelan was full of excitement. Unexpectedly, not only Master Leonardo, but also Riley, a professional treasure appraiser, followed him. He was thinking about finding an expert to appreciate his painting. After all, only an expert confirmed the authenticity of his painting, could people dare to buy it.

He walked towards the front with respect, and said, "Master Leonardo, Riley, welcome here. I didn't expect you to come to my birthday banquet. It is really a great honor to the Stevens family!"

Leonardo glanced towards the courtyard, looking for Casey. Although the Stevens family was not a small family, it was still far behind Leonardo, so Leonardo would care them.

He came here entirely because of Casey's order.

After seeing Casey standing in the corner, Leonardo was about to greet Casey. Casey gave him a look. Leonardo knew what he meant, and did not go over.

Because he didn't know the relationship between Casey and Caelan now, Leonardo still said politely, "Mr. Caelan, you look very hale and hearty. You are able to live to be a hundred."

Caelan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Leonardo. I am old and I may pass away someday."

"Mr. Caelan, your family is so extravagant. You even threw Tang Yin's authentic work outside the door. Are there too many of them in your family, so should you throw it out?" Riley said with a smile.

Melissa ran over to get close to Leonardo and Riley, and said with a smile, "Riley, don't humor me, this painting is fake. The genuine one is with Caelan. An ingrate person wanted to deceive Caelan with the fake painting but did except he has bought the genuine one. So, I threw out the fake painting."

"That's right. I bought the authentic painting from the antique market a few days ago. It seems that I got a good deal. Tang Yin's "Fishing in Stream" was bought by me for 300,000 dollars. It's a good luck." Caelan also said somewhat proudly.

"Take my painting and let Riley have a look."

After hearing what Caelan said, Riley frowned immediately, and quickly stared at the painting in his hand. He had already observed carefully just now. This was indeed Tang Yin's authentic work. Even though he was just a treasure appraiser in a county, he could recognize Tang Yin's authentic work.

Caelan asked someone to take the painting he bought back and hand it to Riley.

"Riley, please have a look and give me some advice. As far as I can see, this is Tang Yin's authentic painting. The one in your hand may be a fake bought from a small stall. It has no ornamental value," Caelan said.

Riley took Caelan's painting and took a closer look. After that, a scornful smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Mr. Caelan, don't make fun of me. The workmanship of this painting is imitated by machines. The imitated strokes have obvious faults and weak strokes. How could this be Tang Yin's authenticity."

As soon as he said this, Caelan's eyes widened immediately, and the people in the Stevens family were all surprised. To their surprise, Riley said that the painting Caelan bought was a fake.

"Riley, please have a careful look. Do you read it wrong, this one is really a painting of Tang Yin, I observed it carefully for a long time and I am very sure," Caelan said anxiously.

At this time, Riley suddenly patted his forehead and asked, "Did you buy this painting from aPreston in the antique market?"

Caelan's eyes lit up suddenly and he nodded quickly. He thought Riley knew that he had made a mistake just now, and there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Yes, it's him. He isn't discriminating. He insisted that this painting is a fake, but I bought it for 300,000 dollars. Do you know that the authentic painting is with him?" Caelan said.

Riley laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Caelan, your eyesight is really bad. It is definitely a fake painting. I know Preston who specializes in selling fake paintings. He can produce hundreds of paintings like yours in one day. I think it's too expensive for a picture of 300 dollars. He said it's a fake painting. You actually paid 300,000 to buy it. You did not get a good deal, but taking the initiative to be cheated. Is it for good deeds and to help Preston?"

Caelan stiffed. As Riley had already said so, if he quibbled that his painting was genuine, it would be meaningless. After all, his understanding of antiques was impossible to compare to Riley.

What's more, Preston said that the painting was a fake painting, and he insisted on giving him 300,000. Otherwise, he was afraid that Preston would come over and make trouble for him when he found out that the painting was genuine.

Thinking about it now, he was really stupid. He spent 300,000 to buy a fake painting worth 300 dollars, and he forced so much money to others. A deep embarrassment crawled out of his heart.

Everyone in the Stevens family also calmed down, thinking that Caelan was a bit too stupid to do this.

"This one is indeed Tang Yin's authentic work. This painting can sell for hundreds of millions of dollars." Riley glanced at the painting Amara brought over, and said.

Caelan looked gloomy. This painting was originally a gift from Amara, but at that time he had driven Amara out of the Stevens family. Melissa also threw this painting out. This painting had nothing to do with him.

Melissa was also full of regrets. She didn't expect that the painting Amara brought was actually genuine. At that time, she threw a painting worth hundreds of millions of dollars away. Thinking about it now, she was still afraid for a while.

She rolled her eyes and walked in front of Riley. She reached out and threw the painting Caelan bought directly. She smiled and said, "Riley has misunderstood. This is the painting that Caelan bought back. It's fake, I threw it wrong before."

Caelan looked at Melissa with a look of surprise, didn't except she would do it.

Seeing this scene, Amara immediately became anxious, ran directly to Melissa, and cursed, "Melissa, you shameless, that is my painting, give it back to me!"

Melissa immediately glared at Amara, and said coldly, "What yours? This is obviously Caelan's painting, what does it have to do with you?"

"I have an authentication certificate here. If you don't believe me, look at it!" Amara took out the authentication certificate.

Upon seeing this, Riley quickly took a look.

"What authentication certificate? It is forged. Amara, don't be unreasonable. You want to keep this painting as you hear it is worth more than 100 million, don't you?" Melissa said.

"This painting is indeed hers. There is the signature of Felix on the authentication certificate. This is absolutely impossible to fake. Why are you like this? The authentication certificate is in her hands. How do you say this painting belongs to Mr. Caelan?" Riley frowned and spoke.

Melissa suddenly looked embarrassed. She didn't expect Riley to recognize the authentication certificate in Amara's hand.

Caelan's look darkened. What Melissa did would undoubtedly lower the position of the Stevens family in Leonardo and Riley's mind.

"Melissa, stop talking nonsense. Amara brought this painting here. Give it back to her." Caelan said coldly.

Melissa was full of reluctance. After all, this painting was worth more than 100 million dollars. Even if only a fraction was given to her, it would be enough for her family to live a happy life.

"Caelan, Amara said it is a gift she gave you. There is no reason for the gift to be taken back. And she, as your daughter, should give you this painting," Melissa said.

"You didn't say so when you persuaded Caelan to drive my family out just now. Now that you see the benefits, you have to quibble. Do you think my family are all fools?"

"We have nothing to do with the Stevens family. This painting was given to you, but unfortunately it was thrown out by you, so you don't deserve to own this painting."

Casey stood up at this moment and said a few words aloud.

Caelan was full of regret. Casey said rightly that he had driven the Amara family out of the Stevens family. Now Amara really had nothing to do with him, and of course he could not accept this painting.

Melissa saw that it was Casey who was talking, and immediately said with a grim look, "Do you have the right to speak? Get out of here, or I will let the Stevens family security guard throw you out!"

Leonardo finally couldn't help it at this time. At that time, when Melissa called Amara, he wanted to teach Melissa, after all, Amara was Casey's mother-in-law, but he endured it.

Now that Melissa even scolded Casey, he couldn't bear it. He walked directly to Melissa, raised his hand and slapped her twice.

"Fuck, who are you? Dare you yell with Mr. Casey here. Are you dicing with death?"
