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

“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
