The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 348

In no time, a gallery associate made his way over, “Good day, sir. Can I assist you in any way?”

“I want to commission the artist of this painting to create a portrait for my mother’s 70th birthday celebration.”

The associate gave him an apologetic look, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible, sir. The art is done by our gallery owner. He doesn’t take on private

commissions

As the associate’s words hung in the air, a visible shift in Vivienne’s demeanor was apparent.

“Can you call your boss over here? I’d like to discuss this with him,” the man insisted.

No sooner had the man finished speaking, Jeffrey himself appeared. “Who’s looking for me?”

The man was clearly familiar with Jeffrey, “Isn’t this Mr. Ellington? You own this gallery too?”

The Ellington family was a well–known entity in the circle

The arrogant Paul, the motorcycle–obsessed Earl, Jeffrey, Fiona, and even the youngest Ellingtons, Kenneth and Isolde, were known to everyone

Perhaps the only Ellington they knew little about was Percival, who was thought to be disabled.

“Of course,” Jeffrey replied with a dismissive tone, “Just how many galleries in Rivenwood do you think aren’t mine?”

The man didn’t dare offend Jeffrey, and his posture slumped a bit involuntarily, “Right, right. I was wondering why this painting was so exceptional It turned out that the painting was yours.”

“As long as you appreciate it, that’s all that matters. As for your mother’s portrait, I’ll have one of our staff artists take care of it. Consider it a token of my appreciation for your taste
