Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone was stunned by Fred’s words! Is there something wrong with our ears… Did Fred just say that this thing is expensive?

Horace questioned Fred’s authority in his heart. What’s so valuable about this lousy thing? Even if I went to a stall to pee and draw a painting, it would still look more real than the lousy thing Sharon bought.
At this moment, Fred explained, “This is Carlo Crivelli’s work, and it’s authentic. He created a large number of such works during the Renaissance. He’s an outstanding artist.”

Fred continued, “If this painting is brought to the market, the price should be around 400,000 dollars. If it is auctioned, I’m afraid it will be sold for 500,000 dollars.”

“Four to five hundred thousand?!” Francis was dumbfounded. I thought that this thing wasn’t worth anything. Who would’ve thought that it would be so expensive!?

Kerry was also stunned. “Sharon… why did you… This is too expensive!”

Sharon smiled faintly. “Kerry, it’s just a token of my appreciation. I remember that you liked Renaissance works the most, so I chose this painting. Don’t mind its price.”

Sharon and I had only done group assignments together, but Sharon remembered what I liked. We are true friends!

Horace’s face was pale. What is going on? This kind of crappy thing is actually worth so much? However, I couldn’t tell that such a crappy painting is actually worth so much. It really is too much of a scam.
The others were also shocked, not expecting this situation. It seems like the rumors are all false. Sharon must be treated very well in the Harris family.

Nobody dared to look down on her anymore. After all, she sent a gift worth hundreds of thousands of dollars… Everyone was very envious.

At that moment, Francis quickly changed his expression. He was extremely shocked and instantly changed his opinion of Sharon and Wallace. After all, he was very sure of his grandfather’s standards.

Since Grandpa said that this painting is worth more than 400,000 dollars, then this painting must really be worth that much. When Francis thought of this, his eyes were filled with excitement. It seems like I might be able to work more with the Harris family in the future.
Wallace glanced at his spouse and asked in confusion, “How much did you spend on this painting?”

Sharon shook her head and said in a low voice, “I really didn’t spend a lot of money. It was given to me by an aunt who was very close to my mother.”

Upon hearing this, Wallace fell into deep thought. If she really was a friend of his mother-in-law, Lynn, then this might be possible. When I first got married to Sharon, I had investigated Lynn’s background. The strange thing was that this ordinary-looking woman only had a few lines about her
background. She said that she had been a teacher before and kept moving around.

At that moment, Jenna stood up with an arrogant smile on his face. “Horace, do you want to kneel now or later? Although we’re of the same age, Wallace is a little older than us. You can call him your godfather.”

Horace tumed around awkwardly and gazed at Jenna with a conflicted expression. Damn it! What on earth am I doing today? How could my luck be so bad? I’ve been slapped in the face by this b*tch repeatedly! Who would’ve thought that this painting is real and is worth more than 00,000 dollars!?
Ican only blame myself for gambling for nothing. I can’t really kneel down and acknowledge them as my parents!

Sure enough, one of his ex-classmates started to tease him at this moment. “Hey, Horace, you said that you wanted to acknowledge them as your parents just now. Are you going back on your word now?”

“That’s right. Everyone still wants to watch your performance!”

Someone suddenly slammed the table and shouted, “Come on! Horace, quickly kneel down and call them your parents!”

“We’re all old classmates, so why do you guys have to add insult to injury at a time like this?” Horace’s expression was extremely ugly, and he spoke through gritted teeth.

“Taking advantage of you when you’re down?” Sharon raised an eyebrow. “Weren’t you the one who started this matter? Everyone is just urging you to fulfill your promise, so how is everyone bullying you when you started it?”
