As he spoke, the old man suddenly called Loreen over and said, "Come here, Loreen! Come and get to know M r. Wrigley!”
Loreen's grandfather, uncle, and father surprisingly had unanimous views about Loreen’s marriage.
They all felt that Loreen should be marrying a young master from a top and prestigious family so that she could bring glory to the Thomas family.
This was also why they arranged for Loreen to work for the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill.
However, even though Loreen left for Aurous Hill for such a long time, she had not even caught a glimpse o f the chairman of Emgrand Group yet. So, they were gradually starting to lose patience over this matter, s
Now that they saw Wrigley standing in front of them, all of them had the same idea. They were all hoping that Loreen could end up together with Wrigley. If that was the case, the Thomas family would be able to soar and lift its rank just like that.
As soon as Wrigley saw Loreen, he could only stare directly at Loreen in shock.
Although there were many beautiful women in
Eastcliff, there were not that many beautiful young ladies from a wealthy and prestigious family. 4
After all, it was often very difficult for a person to come from an excellent family background and have a n excellent appearance at the same time. 6
Although the Thomas family was not exactly amongst the top families, Loreen was really very beautiful!
Therefore, Wrigley immediately had some thoughts and interest in Loreen.
He did not hesitate to stretch out his hand as he said i n a gentlemanly manner, "Miss Thomas, it's nice to meet you!" 5
Loreen had a somewhat cold and indifferent expression on her face, and she deliberately refused to reach out her hand to meet his. Instead, she simply nodded and said, "It's nice to meet you too, Mr.
Wrigley." 3
Fortunately, at this time, Dylan said flatly, "This is the painting of Portrait de Famille done by the famous artist, Henri Matisse. It is said that your eldest uncle bought this painting for forty eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars back then!"
After Wrigley heard these words, he quickly tried to think about the situation. If the authentic and original painting really belonged to his uncle, then there was n o way that he would be willing to sell the painting to anyone. 5
After all, his eldest uncle had always attached great importance to antiques. He had always treated his antique collections as a very treasured possession, and he would only continue adding to his collection without giving anything away. He had already bought various famous paintings over the years. It was said that his collection of paintings alone already amounted to tens of billions of dollars.
Although the transactional price of this painting was only forty eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars, based on his understanding of his own uncle, it was simply impossible for him to give away any of his precious collection. 6
What's more, his uncle was not even acquainted with the Thomas family at all. The Thomas family would not even have the opportunity to try and curry any favor with him. So, why would his uncle take out any o f his prized possessions to give it to Lady Thomas as a birthday gift then? 3
Therefore, Wrigley concluded that the painting in front of him must be a fake! 4
As he thought about this, Wrigley immediately asked i n a cold voice, "Which idiot actually dares to pretend that the painting came from my uncle's collection? Is the said person tired of living?"
