The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage

The only guest who never said a word is Frank.

However, as everyone else turned toward Frank, Hugh spoke before he could. "Hah! What would some ignorant manwhore know about art? Even if he knows a thing or two, he still wouldn't be able to afford it." Hugh's scoffing drew several chuckles in the room, since 'manwhore' made the insult all too obvious.

However, Frank remained calm as he looked at the other guests and asked quietly, "Are you done laughing? If you are, I will share my opinion."

"Of course, young sir. You may speak freely."

Travis was surprised that Frank did not make a bid, and instead spoke up to share his opinion.

Was he going to accuse him of selling a fake?

As if on cue, Frank turned toward the painting beside Travis as everyone looked on, nodding as he said, "That painting isn't genuine... Or it's half-genuine, to be precise."

"Hahaha!!!" Hugh was laughing first and very loudly.

The other guests were chuckling too, while Travis appeared shocked for a moment before frowning in annoyance.

Did that kid come to smear Jade Dragon's good name?

"Frank Lawrence."

That was when Hugh stood up, leering at Frank haughtily, "I mean no disrespect, but everyone here is a collector or an appraiser of Zamri. In fact, Mr. Richton, the gentleman beside me here, is the most famous appraiser in the East Coast. And if they can't see that it's a fake while you can, don't you think you're stretching it?! Don't you find your behavior embarrassing?!"

The other guests nodded in agreement, with Travis' frown easing.

If his painting was fake, that would mean he was a sucker who had been taken for a ride.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He would not just be losing money at that point-even Jade Dragon's reputation would be taken for a ride, if it stayed open for business at all.

In fact, Travis almost had a heart

considerably because Hugh bane

him out with perfect timing.

"Who let him in here? How degrading."

"Yeah. Just get him out of here already, acting all impressive when he doesn't know a thing. He doesn't deserve to be here!"

"Get that insolent rat out of here already!"

Travis nodded even as everyone including Hugh became vocally disapproval.

After all, Frank had been disrespectful from the start, behaving pretentiously while insulting everyone's reputation.

Turning toward Frank, Travis said

coolly, "Sir, if you

can really see that

it's not genuine, please point out how-I'm not so prideful that I'd refuse to admit a loss. But if you're just here to cause trouble for Jade Dragon, I have no choice but to ask you to leave."

"Heh..."

Frank rose to his feet, shaking his head as he sneered. "How amusing. I was told that there were treasures to be found here, but it turns out that you're just selling your reputation. In that case, you don't have to chase me out-I will leave on my.

Qwn. I

won't stoop to staying here."

With that, he turned and started to leave, only to be stopped by two burly bodyguards at the doorway.

Frank turned toward Travis right then. "What, feeling angry because I exposed your lies? Itching for a fight now?" "Hmph!" Travis snorted coldly.
