Money Only to Burn

Chapter 32

The arrival of Mr. Payton brings the exhibition of private collections to its zenith.

It's hard to see for ordinary people. To invite him to this exhibition, Old Master Hinton also spent a lot of effort.

In addition to the ancient paintings of Kesan, Sunrise, there are also several other antiques in the exhibition hall awaiting Mr. Payton's authentication.

"Mr Payton has arrived. Cyril, let's get involved!" Driven by inner curiosity, Rainee can't wait to see the best appraiser's performance in Chinsy.

"There are so many people. We can go later to avoid the crowds. Cyril had no interest in seeing Charles

Payton because he can call her anytime. He was especially worried that someone among the crowd would hurt Rainee Hilton carelessly.

"OK. We can stand outside!" Rainee grabbed Cyril's arm, for fear of getting lost among the people.

Standing on his tiptoes, Cyril saw Charles coming surrounded by people. With gray hair and sparkling eyes, Mr. Payton wore a green dress.

"Mr Payton, you're finally here!"

Mr. Sam Hinton greeted him warmly and held tightly to his hand, looking very excited.

"How can I refuse your invitation, Professor Hinton? Moreover, I heard that you have a lot of antiques that I want to see. " It seems Mr. Payton likes antiques collected by Old Master Hinton.

Almost in this industry for life, what

what he wanted before death

I see more stuff

an antique!

"Yes, there are many antiques, but the most important are the two famous paintings of Claude Monet. Mr. Payton, please help me to assess them," old Mr. Hinton said as he brought Charles Payton inside.

A lot of people came with Mr. Payton.

"Two famous paintings of Claude Monet?" Charles was so shocked that he did not expect that he could see such a masterpiece. After a short pause, he continued to ask, "May I know the name of the painting?"

"Impression, Sunrise," replied Old Master Hinton.

"What time?" Charles stopped unconsciously. But a few days ago, he saw the original painting replace Mr. Woodley. Did someone sell a fake to Old Mr Hinton?

Thinking of that, Charles glanced at the crowd around subconsciously and happened to see Mr. Woodley standing outside. He was astonished that Mr. Woodley was here.

He wanted to enter through the crowd to greet Cyril, but Cyril waved and hinted him to pretend not to know her.

It seemed that Charles understood Mr. Woodley's intention to not stand out, and then he continued to accompany Old Master Hinton. However, he was very curious about the fake items that were confused with authentic works.

"Professor Hinton, should we go to authenticate the Verdict, Sunrise first or any other antiques?" If Charles had not seen the original work in Mr Woodley's place, he would have been eager to judge the famous painting rather than ask Professor Hinton.

Hearing this, York Merlanga, who had been standing at the side, became excited instantly. He hopes Professor Hinton chooses Impression, Sunrise first, but Professor Hinton seems to be in no hurry.

"Other antiques first! Leave the painting to the end as tension!" Professor Hinton smiled and said.

"Well, let's take a look at the other antiques first!" Charles was in no hurry.

Then they went somewhere else in the exhibition hall. Many antiques enthusiasts followed suit as they also wanted to witness the abilities of the top appraisers within Chinsy.

Cyril, on the other hand, was not so keen on antiques.

"Cyril, let's keep looking elsewhere, OK?" Rainee is very interested, not in antiques, but in living with Cyril, no matter what to do.

Perhaps the most anxious person on the scene was York Merlanga.

"Here there should be another authentication first. All right, I'll make you proud for a while. " Bearing Cyril and Rainee, York Merlanga was extremely jealous and secretly made up her mind.

"Mr Payton, can you please help me see from what age this sword is?"

Old Lord Hinton took out a very simple but beautiful sword. He guessed that the sword had been owned by Caesar because his name was engraved on it.

This sword is what Luis Hinton wanted, but Old Master Hinton didn't give it.

"Let me see it." Mr. Payton's interest was suddenly stimulated.

Then he took out a double magnifying glass and began to examine his sword closely. Everyone present was silent and held their breaths so as not to disturb Mr. Payton.

Charles is an expert in assessment. Even the magnifying glass in his hand was adjusted and equipped with the function of adjusting the magnification. Of course, it was too expensive for ordinary antique lovers to buy.

After half an hour of careful study of the sword using a double magnifying glass, Charles kept it away with some regret and shook his head.

"This sword is indeed an antique from the time of Caesar, but unfortunately it is only a clone of his Sword. It is now worth about 15,000 dollars on the market. "

Charles provides the most reasonable authentication results. Meanwhile, he also explained the details of the imitation, which enlightened everyone around.

"I understand. Your words benefit me greatly, Mr. Payton. " Lord Hinton is old in a good mood after solving the mystery of the treasure sword. He immediately invited Mr. Payton to authenticate the other antiques.

On the other hand, York Merlanga became increasingly impatient. An hour later, he stopped following them and went straight to the center of the hall, where two Impression paintings, Sunrise were exhibited.

Cyril and Rainee strolled around the exhibition hall and finally reached the center of the hall. Today, many people who had finished seeing other antiques gathered here as well.

Looking at the two paintings that were almost similar, people could not help but talk about them in whispers.

"Is this an Impression, Sunrise painted by Claude Monet? But the two paintings look exactly the same!"

"Yes, people who imitate paintings are also sophisticated. There are even very similar details. If there's someone who can tell them apart in Chinsy, it's probably just Mr. Payton. "

"I'm looking forward to it!"

Gradually, more and more people gathered in the middle of the hall. In the end, even Hinton came here.

"Why Mr. Payton hasn't come My patience will run out. " Hasina Hinton was a little anxious and she also wanted to know which one was real.

Of course, the rest of Hinton had the same idea but almost all of them believed that the painting that York Merlanga bought for 6 million was genuine, but that is, while one of the poor rural people Cyril is a fake.

An hour later as everyone was getting impatient, Mr. Payton and Old Master Hinton finally came along, which made York Merlanga energetic now.

Old Mr. Hinton pointed to the two paintings that were hung on wooden frames and said, "Master Payton, these two paintings I'm referring to are almost the same. Can you help me choose the right one?

"All right, I'll see it!"

Then Mr. Payton took out some magnifying glasses and pens with various rays, both of which are professional authentication tools that are difficult for non-professionals to understand.

With his equipment, Mr. Payton walked over to the painting slowly. Other people stopped talking at once because they were worried that any sound would distract Mr. Payton.

York Merlanga's heart rate is getting out of control. The result he wanted would be out soon and Cyril would lose all reputation.

He was secretly excited to think about it.

But Cyril was very calm.
