The Pinnacle Of Life

Chapter 265

“This… Is this The Landscape too?”

“Why does it look the same as the other?”

“Is it even possible that there are two copies of The Landscape in this world?” Sharpay

exclaimed in surprise.

Adrianna rushed over to take a look and hurriedly said, “Why do you even need to

question it? Obviously, this must be a fake. Why else are there two same paintings by a

famous artist in this world? Even idiots could figure that out.”

Alex replied, “Mine is the original copy.”

Taylor chuckled sarcastically. “Yours is the original? so, are you saying the one that my

son-in-law presented is a fake? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror, do you

really think you can afford to present the original copy of The Landscape?

You couldn’t

even buy a shred of it even if you were to use all the pocket money that the Assexess

have given to you.”

Edison huffed. “I got mine from a friend’s auction with an internally set price of more

than ten million dollars. I ask of you, where did yours come from? ”

Alex replied dismissively, “A friend gave it to me.”

“Hahaha!” Adrianna laughed. “What a joke! Have you really not taken a look in the

mirror? Sure, you used to be that almighty young lord of the Rockefeller, and everyone

would suck up to you. But look at you now, your dad betrayed our country, your mom is

half-dead, and you, Alex Rockefeller is nothing but a street rat!

If it weren’t for the

Assexes’ generosity to let you stay, you wouldn’t even be able to eat garbage at the

roadside. And, you said that someone gave you this painting, but it costs more than ten

million dollars! What kind of idiot would give it to you?”

Alex’s eyes turned sharp and cold, his aura was immense.

“Watch your mouth. No one

can insult my family.”

Adrianna’s face was full of disdain. “So what if I insulted them? Are you going to hit me?

Come on then, hit me here, you twerp!”

In the next second, Taylor, Sharpay and Edison came over as well, standing in front of

Alex. All of them had a look of contempt and mockery on their faces.

Dorothy hurriedly rushed over to hold Alex back.

She was worried that Alex might

actually hit Adrianna out of anger, worsening the situation.

Aidan was enraged as he said, “Claire, keep your son-in-law in check.”

After that, he also walked over to them and took a look at The Landscape that Alex had

prepared for him. He immediately showed a contemptuous look as he said, “Your

painting is the fakest of the fakes. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Just compare it to the original copy, yours isn’t even

sealed with the stamp and there are burn marks down here too. It must have been

damaged when you were trying to replicate it, right? This is not just any fake, but a lowly

faux.”

Sharpay sneered. “How dare you try to compete against my husband’s original copy by

bringing out such a lowly faux? You’re really a joke.”

Alex let out a sardonic laugh.

Indeed, his copy didn’t have a stamp. This was due to a fire in the past when it was

being passed down. It would have been destroyed if someone didn’t save it. However,

after the fire, the area with the stamp was burnt so it looked worn. Despite that, this was

truly the original copy.

However, only true collectors and antique lovers would know about such a history. Alex

only found out about this from Waltz.

Meanwhile, Claire rushed over and pulled Alex to the side. She yelled angrily, “Get lost,

you trash! Haven’t you embarrassed me enough? What kind of disgusting piece of sh*t

is this?

How dare you claim it to be Jean Pucelli’s original artwork? Do you really think

everyone’s an idiot? Just get lost!”

She then snatched the painting and tore it into two halves. She even threw it to the

ground and stomped on it twice.

Alex’s heart sunk, he couldn’t help but feel extremely helpless.

If Jean Pucelli were to know that his original artwork was damaged in such a way, he

wouldn’t ever rest in peace.

Dorothy narrowed her eyes as she said, “Mom, how could you tear it? It’s still a painting

regardless!”

It was obvious that Dorothy thought that the painting was a faux as well. However,

tearing it apart in front Alex was just too humiliating.

Sharpay replied, “Why shouldn’t she tear it? Do you want to keep it around to scam

others?”

She then took the other present in the bag. After opening it up, she said, “Oh my god,

what’s wrong with you? How dare you give Grandpa a white flower on his 66 th

birthday?

What is the meaning of this? It’s wilted too! Are you trying to curse my

grandpa?”

Alex already regretted joining the birthday banquet. He would rather stay at home and

have dinner with his mother.
