The Strongest Warrior’s Revenge

Nicholas’s words were like a landmine thrown into the room. Everyone was dumbfounded.

If the painting Ian brought was genuine, didn’t that imply the painting in Joshua’s study

was a forgery?

This thought was too terrifying. For a moment, everyone lowered their heads and did not

dare to speak.

They might have the guts to pick on Ian. After all, although the Walter family was

powerful, the main forces were overseas, and they had little

interaction with them.

However, the Phil family was in Capitol. They would see each other frequently.

Orson could not react for a long time. He did not expect things to turn out this way.

The painting Ian brought was actually authentic. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

But Orson frowned and felt that something was wrong. ‘No, no, it shouldn’t be. This

painting is clearly fake. I have hired someone to fake it and spent a lot of effort to send it

to Ian. How could it become authentic? Could it be that there are two authentic paintings

in this world? Impossible! It’s absolutely impossible!

Orson shook his head and stared at Nicholas. “Mr. Harrington, please take a closer look. Is

this really the authentic one?”

“Mr. Orson, what do you mean by this?” As a prominent figure in the industry, Nicholas

had his pride. With a renowned reputation in the appraisal field, being questioned in such

a manner felt like a blow to his

honor.

“No, no.” Orson shook his head. “Mr. Harrington, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not doubting

your standard, but…”

Before Orson could say anything, Joshua, who had been silent all this

while, suddenly said, “This painting is indeed authentic.”

As he spoke, Orson personally walked in front of the painting and pointed at a very small

ink spot that could not be seen unless one looked carefully.

“I also just realized that this painting is the one I used to have in my study before. When I

was copying it, I accidentally rubbed an ink spot on it.” Joshua sighed. He did not expect

the painting that he had given away to be

back.

Back then, Olivia had taken a fancy to this painting the moment she entered the house

and asked Joshua for it.

Although Joshua liked Olivia very much, this painting was his beloved item. He did not

want to give it to Olivia, so he thought of a way to make things difficult for her.

Joshua wanted this young lady to back off.

Unexpectedly, Olivia was so powerful that she dealt with it in no time. Not only did she

deal with it, but she also personally upgraded the Phil Group’s network security system.

Now that Joshua owed such a huge favor, no matter how reluctant to give this painting, he

had to part with it.

Joshua had just figured it out. Given Kelly and Olivia’s close relationship, it was likely that

Kelly asked Olivia for the painting and then gave it to Ian. Finally, Ian returned the painting

to Joshua on his birthday.

Joshua wondered, ‘It’s all my fault. I am old and muddle-headed. I have not thought of this

earlier.’

Joshua’s explanation made everyone’s eyes widen, They did not expect it to be the same

painting.

Joshua’s explanation convinced everyone, but Orson kept frowning.

Orson thought, ‘Something is wrong. The painting in Ian’s hand is clearly a fake painting

that I have sent over. How does it become the authentic painting in Joshua’s study? What

the hell is going on?’

Orson could not help but ask Joshua, “Dad, who did you give this painting to back then?”

Joshua did not want to say anything more. He only said vaguely. “A young

friend.”

Orson nodded and looked at Ian. ‘Ian, where did you get this painting?”

Ian turned the chair and crossed his long legs as if he was in a daze. When he heard

Orson’s question, he suddenly looked up at him with a faint smile. He asked, “Uncle Orson,

you shouldn’t have asked me. I should have asked you. Didn’t you the one who thought of

a way to send this painting

to me?”
