Chapter 4100
“I’m not Father and Mother’s actual son. I’m just a godson without a status....
“But I know I should be making them happy no matter the cost!
“As long as I can hear their laughter, I’d be willing to spend all my life savings on anything!
“But you say this is good enough when you’re just buying some random gift to fool them?!
“Sigh! Looks like I’m just an outsider after all!
“I did my best to treat Father and Mother, yet I can’t even compete against a damn radish!”
Gabriel Lee seemed helpless before he showed a stern expression on his face.
Avery Foster quickly lifted Gabriel when he felt a little dizzy.
“I told you many times, Gabriel!” she whispered.
“You treat them like actual parents, but there’s no way you can beat the blood of an actual family!”
The crowd sighed while they showed pitiful looks toward Gabriel.
“Yeah! There aren’t a lot of respectful people like Gabriel nowadays!”
“It’s their blessing to have someone like him!”
“More importantly, he’s more respectful even compared to their actual daughters!”
“The fifteen-dollar calligraphy represents their utmost sincerity!”
“Married women are just spilled water, but I didn’t think that the godson would even be able to compare to the unmarried
daughters!”
“Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer should just leave their riches for Gabriel instead!”
“They can’t give them to the ungrateful daughters!”
“You people...”
Xynthia Zimmer’s face turned bright red the moment she heard the guests’ remarks.
Mandy showed an expression as cold as ice.
She could clearly tell that the guests were already bought off.
Not only did Gabriel yearn for Mandy’s beauty, he did all this because he thought Simon Zimmer had authority over the Jean
family’s ninth branch.
“No need to get angry, Mandy, Xynthia.
“My radish isn’t worth much, but it’s a better gift than someone else’s,” replied Harvey calmly.
“After all, this fake son’s painting isn’t even worth a single dollar. It’s just a counterfeit after all.”
The crowd was dead silent.
‘A fake?’
‘Not even worth a dollar?”
Everyone was shocked when they shifted their gazes toward Gabriel.
“How dare you?!
“I spent fifteen thousand dollars to buy this from a waster!
“I almost fought a few collectors in the city for this!
“I got the authority to authenticate it too! It’s worth at least ten times the amount I paid for!
“And yet you’re telling me that this is fake?”
Gabriel’s head felt numb when he heard Harvey doubt him. He quickly explained the situation. without any hesitation.
“I want you to apologize for this, Harvey!” he exclaimed with a fierce tone.
“If not, I’ll settle scores with you sooner or later!”
Avery derisively glared at Harvey.
“I heard a lot about you from Mother, Harvey!
“You’re just a live-in son-in-law who climbed the ranks with Mandy’s help!
“You know nothing about calligraphy!
“Stop spouting crap that you don’t know already!
“If you keep this up, I’ll make you take responsibility through the law!”
People started returning to their senses after hearing Avery’s words.
After all, they were almost fooled by the useless filth.
‘A live-in son-in-law wouldn’t know how to appraise such profound calligraphy paintings!”
