The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 208 Stupid Family Banquet

Chloe Snyder thought, 'Old Master? Nicole's tone is so helpless, and that familiarity of addressing the old man...' The people present were taken aback.

The white-bearded Mr. Wilheim finally stopped in his tracks.

He had a hint of a smile in his refined gaze.

Mr. Wilheim grunted coldly.

However, his tone carried reproof and regret." Someone who quit halfway doesn't deserve to be my apprentice!"

Nicole was the only apprentice Mr. Wilheim took in. She was extremely soulful, and her talent was a hundred times beyond any regular person. Every stroke of Nicole's paintings was filled with such spirit. 1

However, Nicole only learned from Mr. Wilheim for less than half a year before she quit and turned to learn about business.

Mr. Wilheim, who finally accepted that one apprentice in his entire career, was so infuriated that he lost his appetite for a few days.

He had so much regret and anger!

'How dare she ask to buy my painting?! Dream on!' Mr. Wilheim wanted to take this opportunity to teach Nicole a lesson.

However, when this little brat pouted, the pent-up anger in his chest dissipated in an instant.

"Old Master? Apprentice? Nicole, what's going on?

How did you get to know Mr. Wilheim?" Gillian had a million questions on her mind.

Chloe figured out their relationship from that conversation.

She let out a cold laugh. "Mrs. Carter, can't you see? M s. Stanton and Mr. Wilheim are old acquaintances. No wonder he refused to sell it to me. Mrs. Carter, if you really like this painting, why don't you ask Nicole if Mr. Wilheim will sell it to her?"

All of a sudden, Chloe tied Nicole's name to the painting.

Nicole frowned slightly.

Chloe's words were really unpleasant and made her really uncomfortable.

Mr. Wilheim looked at them and sneered. "Don't even try to provoke me. I'm really not selling this to her since I've already promised to give this painting away."

Gillian's eyes, which just lit up, instantly dimmed again. 'Looks like there's really no hope...'

Nicole hesitated for a moment. She felt sorry for Gillian, who looked so disappointed.

She paused for a moment and raised her eyes. "Old Master, don't you still have a lot of collections that aren't sold to the public? I think that 'The Blazing Sun' is a nice piece. Why don't you sell it to me?" The corners of Mr. Wilheim's mouth twitched slightly.' How dare she ask for that? My paintings that aren't publicly sold are kept for auction or for collection. They're worth a fortune! Not to mention, 'The Blazing Sun' was exhibited at the World Museum! How dare she talk about it like she's window shopping?!'

The anger in his chest rose at once.

However, when faced with the smiling Nicole, there was nothing he could do.

The old man glared at her viciously for several seconds.

Finally, he let out a cold snort. "I'm planning to sell it for five million, but to you, I'll sell it for ten. Take it away if you want!"

After that, Mr. Wilhelm turned around and left. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he might get a heart attack from being so exasperated.

This was beyond Nicole's expectations.

Surprisingly, Mr. Wilhelm did not rip her off.

This was far less than the actual value of "The Blazing

Sun".

Nicole smiled at Gillian. "Mrs. Carter, then consider this a gift from me."

Then, Nicole hurriedly chased after Mr. Wilheim.

She was afraid that he would go back on his word.

On the way back.

Chloe looked at the bright smile on Gillian's face and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She said, "Mrs. Carter, as far as I know, 'The Blazing Sun' was initially sold for $100 million. Is Nicole's relationship with Mr. Wilheim really that good?"

Gillian's smile stiffened. "Oh? What does that mean? Will Mr. Wilheim sell her a fake?"

"Of course not! It's just that I'm worried that since they're so close, they might not give you the real painting..."

It could also be a defective painting.

Those were worth a small amount of money, but compared to the real masterpieces, they were worthless.

At once, Gillian felt a little suffocated.

Chloe smiled and consoled her. "But, perhaps they won't. I heard that Mr. Wilheim's paintings will have his unique marking on the bottom right corner of each painting. When the time comes, you will know." Gillian nodded and smiled.

To verify this, Gillian deliberately woke lan up, who was pretending to be nursing his wounds on his bed.

Gillian planned to hold a family banquet at their house.

lan was lying on the bed and refused to get up. He kept grunting and whining, which was so irritating. "Family banquet? What kind of stupid family banquet?"

"I specially invited Nicole and Chloe too. You don't have to come if you don't want to."

Once lan heard Nicole's name, he looked like a brand-new person and was immediately full of spirit.
