Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 551

Finally, Agnes voiced her opinion, “I can’t speak for the expertise of the rest out in the field, but if this is about charity, then any shady or fake stuff should be out of the picture.”

That seemed to have ticked off every expert in the room, they started to lash out at Agnes.

“What do you know, you’re just a young lady. Do you really think we can’t tell a fake painting when we see one?”

“This painting is legit, and I’d admit I was wrong if it wasn’t. You’re just here to stir up trouble.”

“I’ve been appraising paintings for years and have a ton of collections. Nobody knows better than me that this painting is authentic. I think you’re spreading false rumors out of spite.”

Despite the barrage of criticism, Agnes remained calm.

She spoke again, “I may not be a pro at authenticating paintings, but I’m certain this one is a fake. Are you guys really antique experts? Don’t you know that the authentic ‘Venus‘ is being auctioned off today at Sotheby’s? Just ten minutes ago, it was purchased by the Louvre for eight million dollars. Do you really think the painting to be displayed in the Louvre is a fake, and this one with no official authentication appearing at this private birthday party is the real piece?”

Her words shocked everyone present.
