Chapter 151
Mandy Zimmer didn’t deny that, and she just nodded slightly:
Harvey York reached out to place it in his little hand. He then smiled and said, “Then as your husband, I will present it to you as a gift!”
Mandy was stunned for a short while, because she didn’t know how to respond to that. However, Rosalie Naiswell glanced at Harvey, and she couldn’t help but gasp.
It’s okay if he can’t. But he is terrible at pretending! That thing now belongs to the Yorks.
How can anyone else take it?”
“You are only the son-in-law who is still alive. Do you even have rights?

“Next up, we will have the sixth lot up for auction.
Regarding this lot, even Our Appraiser cannot identify its authenticity. But we heard that the origin of this item is extraordinary. Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to come forward to rate it. Then, you can decide if you want to bid for this lot…”
At that moment, the female auctioneer’s eyes brightened. He noticed that the atmosphere was quite lively. After that, he clapped his hands. Immediately, there were several staff pushing a tall and large wooden rack out from behind the slow auction stage.
Everyone stared at them at the large wooden shelf curiously. They wondered what it was as not even the appraisers from the Mountain Top Auction could even identify its authenticity and value.
Soon, the mystery was revealed. A painting is displayed on a shelf, and it is surrounded by tempered glass. One could only see the painting up close but not touch it.
Seeing such an instinct, many people drewin a cold breath. They are filled with disbelief.
Immediately, someone shouted inadvertently, “Is that “
Rocky Mountains, Lander Peak” by Albert
Bastard? How is that possible?”
“What? Is that one of the world’s top ten legendary paintings—Rocky Mountains, Lander Peak?”
“Wasn’t this thing missing for years? How could it possibly appear here?”
“What is the initial price of this lot?”
Many people started talking quickly. There are quite a number of experts who are good at antigues. At that moment, they were filled with astonishment.
The auctioneer smiled and said, Since you recognize what this is, Ill have a frank talk with you.
The identity of the seller is quite mysterious. We cannot attest to the authenticity of this painting. We also cannot guarantee its authenticity. So it’s all up to you whether you want to bid for this lot. Also, there is no starting price for this painting. Ladies and gentlemen, you can offer a random price even if it’s only fifteen dollars.”
The auctioneer said something like that. Obviously, the painting might indeed be a fake. Otherwise, they wouldn’t mention something like that. But the seller who provided the painting may have a special identity. Otherwise, obvious fake lots will not appear in the auction.
“In that case, it seems that there really is someone who can afford such an item at the auction. At first, I thought that he wouldn’t be able to buy anything here!” Jake Surrey said disdainfully.
Harvey didn’t want to bother about Jake. At that moment, he was trembling slightly. After a while, he considered a bit and said, “This thing isn’t bad. I will offer you fifteen dollars because I want it!”
The auctioneer looked completely helpless. I’m just saying that. How could someone actually offer such a price…”
“Sir, do you really want to bid for it? Regarding this lot, we need to make some announcements beforehand. That’s because our auction house can’t judge its authenticity. That’s why we’re offering this item for auction without a starting price. So if you can get your hands on this lot, please do not seek compensation from the auction house regarding the authenticity of this lot. Besides, you can’t spread negative rumors about the auction house in public.” Even though the auctioneer had pulled a face, he still announced it in a serious and responsible manner.
“No problem.” Harvey smiled. “I think it’s authentic. This must be to my advantage since I can buy it for fifteen dollars.”
Wyatt Johnson burst out laughing. “Harvey, are you out of your mind? How dare you say that this stuff is authentic? Do you know what “Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” is? You don’t know anything, but you still want to come to join the auction like the others. You sure don’t have common sense!” Wyatt was filled with disdain. ”
Do you need me to explain you about it?”
After Wyatt said that, many people turned to look at them, including Rosalie. He couldn’t help but stare at her.
Harvey said lightly, “Can Master Johnson teach me about it then?”
Wyatt said coldly, “So that’s why you are worthless trash. Literally, everyone knows what “Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” is. It was a painting that Albert Bierstadt had given his Junior—
Yael Woodford as an apresent. After that, the painting was circulated to different people before coming to a person called Hugo Wolley in the 1900s.
He really liked the painting. So before his death, he intended to burn the painting to be buried with him. Although his family stops him at the end, that “Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” is divided into two paintings. One of the paintings is called “Mount Adams” and another is called “Art of Yael Woodford”. The two remaining paintings are currently being displayed in two different museums. Now, there is “Rocky Mountains, Lander’s Peak” here. How can this be authentic?”
