CHAPTER 42
At that moment, Thomas received a call from Emily. As soon as he picked up the phone, heheard Emily's panicked voice, tinged with tears. "No... it's bad, brother-in-law... Emma is missing!"It took Thomas a few seconds to process her words. When he finally understood, it felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly, a sharp pain shooting through him. That clear sensation jolted him into action, and he dashed out the door. "Thomas, I'm at Archway. I just went to the restroom, and when I came back, she was gone..." Emily sobbed, her voice filled with an unusual fear and helplessness.But around her, there were loud blaring music.Thomas, filled with anger, shouted into the phone, "Stay right there! I'm on my way!"How could Emma be missing? It was impossible! A child as well-behaved as her wouldn't just run off. Without a second thought for the people in the exhibition hall, Thomas rushed toward the exit like lightning. Even when Jack Bailey called out to him from behind, he didn't s
CHAPTER 41
He quickly ran over to the person, excitement bubbling in his voice. "Boss Lawrence, what brings you here? Did you hear that I'm personally hosting the exhibition at the Art Fair Hall and decided to come by to check it out?" Oliver glanced at him, a bit confused, not quite recognizing the person blocking his path. Just then, he heard Mr. Keira's calm voice, "You old fool, hurry up and come here!" Upon hearing Mr. Keira’s voice, Oliver hurriedly walks over, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. He awkwardly smiled at him and said, "I'm not sure why Mr. Keira called me here at this time." "Do you recognize this?" Mr. Keira pointed to a piece of calligraphy displayed in front of him. Oliver turned to look at the artwork, his eyes widening in shock. Wasn't this the piece of calligraphy by Jose Tate that he had just sold a few days ago? But it was a fake, the only genuine piece was in the hands of this man in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of th
CHAPTER 40
Mr. Keira shook his head and said firmly, "Why would I lie to you? Based on my years of experience with antiques, this piece is a fake." As Jack's doubts about Mr. Keira's words echoed in the crowd, chaos erupted. "Jack, what are you doing? You brought out a fake and tricked us into thinking you had something valuable!" "Mr. Keira is a well-known expert in antiques. If he says it's fake, then it's not the real deal. This painting must be fake." "Ugh, after waiting so long, we ended up seeing a fake. Jack, your reputation is taking a hit here." Hearing the crowd's chatter, Jack felt a wave of panic wash over him. He had no idea how things had gone so wrong. Frantically, he turned to glare at Thomas. It was all that guy's fault! If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be in this mess. Andrew, noticing Jack's distress, tried to calm him down. "Uncle, could it be that you mixed up the paintings? They look so similar on the outside that it's easy to get mixed up." Jack nodded vigorously at
CHAPTER 39
Jack felt he couldn't afford to lose face, but he also didn't want to dismiss Andrew's feelings. He decided to calm him down for the moment. Deep down, he thought he might ask Ava how she felt about their marriage. If Ava wanted a divorce, perhaps he could help Andrew after all. As his thoughts swirled, Jack looked up and caught sight of Thomas standing in the corner. He couldn't help but frown and mutter under his breath, "Useless piece of trash." Thomas noticed Jack's glare and forced a smile in response, only to be met with another insult. Well, that backfired. He awkwardly rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. Just then, a sleek black car pulled up outside the exhibition hall. A few people rushed over to greet the arriving guest. Mr. Keira had heard that the Art Fair was hosting an event, so he made a special trip to check it out. As a collector, he couldn't resist the urge to see what treasures might be on display. The moment he stepped into the hall, everyone gasped in
CHAPTER 38
Thomas stepped out of his father-in-law's house, intending to head straight to the Art Fair. He glanced back at Mark and the others who were still following him and said lightly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. You guys should head home for now." With that, he got into his car and drove directly to the exhibition center. As everything was set up perfectly. The atmosphere inside was lively and bustling, filled with many prominent figures. The only unusual thing was that one of the exhibition halls, despite being packed with guests, was empty inside, with no exhibits on display. Some impatient attendees voiced their displeasure. "Jack, I came here specifically to see that calligraphy by Jose Tate. I've been waiting for so long or were you just bragging?" "Yeah, Jack, we've all been waiting here for ages. At least let us see what this legendary piece looks like. You're not just messing with us, are you?" Jack felt the pressure as he listened to their complaints. "Everyone, please don'
CHAPTER 37
At the entrance of the club, a group of men in black suits stood guard. When they saw an old man trying to push his way in, they quickly stepped forward to block him."Sorry, but this club is temporarily closed. No one is allowed inside." Seeing this scene, Joshua rushed over, his voice sharp as he declared, "I dare you to stop me."The guards were taken aback by his suddenappearance, and in that moment of surprise, Mark slipped past them and entered the club. Joshua followed closely behind. The guards exchanged bewildered glances, unable to comprehend what was happening. Why was the mayor here? Who was this old man that warranted the mayor's protection?Joshua scoffed to himself, realizing that theclub needed to step up its efforts to crackdown on illegal activities. Mark burst into a private room, and upon seeing Drake lying on the floor, he was momentarily stunned. But he quickly shook off the surprise and made his way directly to Thomas, bending slightly in a respectful manner.
