The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 180
“What are you saying?!” Rosalind was furious. The smile on her face stiffened. “I bought this painting from the Hoffmans’ Auction
House. How could it be a fake?!”
She dragged the Hoffmans into the water with one sentence.
Ryan could not help but sneer. “Ms. Gold, you rarely attend auctions, so you don’t know how they work, right? My family’s
Platinum Auction House is the largest auction house in the country. The items we collect have been strictly screened and
appraised. We don’t sell any fakes. If you don’t know the goods, don’t slander my family’s reputation.”
Justin’s eyes darkened.
He remembered Anna’s sly smile at that charity auction when she provoked Rosalind into buying the replica at ten times the
market price.
Did Anna already expect Rosalind to give this painting to Grandpa as a birthday gift? Was it a coincidence, or did Anna set a trap
for Rosalind from the beginning?
“Ms. Gold, fakes and replicas are two different things.”
At this time, another expert appraiser came forward to speak for Ryan. “Although some paintings are replicas, they are indeed
historical pieces. Many painters liked to copy paintings by famous Renaissance artists, but their works still hold significant
historical value. It also takes superb skills to copy a painting. A top-quality replica can still be sold at a very high price. But the
replica you bought is a little inferior. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to see the difference at a glance.”
“It can’t be a replica! How can it be a replica?! I spent $10 million to buy this from Platinum Auction House!” Rosalind blurted out
in a panic.
Rosalind spent $10 million on a replica. How could she be so stupid?
There were bursts of laughter all around.
Bethany hid in the crowd and covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
This slap in the face came so quickly.

“$10 million? This painting is only worth $1 million. Ms. Gold, I can only say that you’ve made a sizable donation at the charity
auction if you’ve spent ten times the amount for this piece.”
Rosalind’s head was pounding, and her eyes darkened.
Even Shannon could not stand it any longer. She just felt embarrassed and turned away. She did not want to stand up for her
niece, who proved to be a failure.
“Forget it. No matter how much it’s worth, it’s still a gift from the heart.
Although Nigel did not like Rosalind, he was an elder and did not care about the painting. He said calmly, “Matt, please keep the
painting.
“Anna! What do you have against me that you want to embarrass me like this?!”
Suddenly, Rosalind turned to Bella, harshly accusing her.
Bella was ridiculed and wronged the moment she stepped foot onto the venue. At this moment, she could not hold back any
longer.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Bella.
Bella frowned slightly and blinked her bright eyes innocently. “How did I embarrass you? Ms. Gold, where did this come from? I
really don’t know what you are talking about.”
Asher and Ryan were shocked to see this.
Wow, was Bella fighting fire with fire?
“You plotted against me! If it weren’t for you, why would I have spent $10 million to buy this replica? It’s all because of you!”
Rosalind pointed at Bella’s innocent face and shouted in a hoarse voice, “I don’t know how to appraise paintings, and you must
know that there is something wrong with this painting! But you still raised the price and tricked me into buying this painting! How
could you do this?!”
Justin pursed his thin and pale lips. He looked at Bella coldly.

“Tricked you? What are you talking about? How did I trick you?” Bella blinked her bright eyes, looking like a frightened doe.
Asher immediately stood up to defend his sister. He slighted Rosalind. “Ms. Gold, the auction. was held openly, and everyone
can compete freely based on their financial capabilities. If you didn’t bid for the painting, how could Anna force you to buy it? Isn’t
this your own doing?” “Anna saw that I wanted this painting, so she resorted to malicious competition! As long as I raised the
paddle, she would follow suit. She raised the price from $1 million to $9 million! When I asked for $10 million, she suddenly
stopped bidding. Isn’t this tricking me into buying a fake at a high price?!” Rosalind questioned her angrily.
“Hey, let’s make it clear. It’s not a fake, but a replica. These are two different things!” Ryan could not help but interject.
