A Crazy Wife

Chapter 15 Misappropriation of Sherry Green's paintings

Leo Bruce seems to finish such a ceremony in a hurry. After exchanging rings, he immediately takes

Fiona Angela’s hand, walks off the stage and greet the guests, as if he is eager to cover up something.

Hannah Joseph walks to a remote corner where no one is around. She indifferently sends the video

just shot in her mobile phone. Then she lowers her voice to her mobile phone and says, "the first half of

the wedding video has been sent to you. After I get the final payment, I will send the second half

again."

After a while, with a "click" sound, a piece of information about bank account collection appears in her

mobile phone.

She counts the balance, lifts the corners of her lips with satisfaction and then sends the second half of

the video in her mobile phone.

Leo Bruce wants to do bad things and retain a good reputation. That’s impossible.

A simple wedding means he will be still a good man when he is not at home?

There are guests walking by in groups and chatting with each other, "the Bruce family’s wedding is too

shabby."

"It's because Leo Bruce's fiancee just passed away. He offers a reward on TV to find his fiancee.

Meanwhile he gets married with another woman. Other people must gossip about it."

"It's quite heartless, but why does he hold a wedding in a hurry? It's not a small risk because so many

people are here."

"I'm afraid the bride is in a hurry. I heard that the bride has been pregnant for three months. If he

doesn't have a wedding, she will look pregnant."

"Really..." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"It's really true because my friend is the bridesmaid of the bride..."

The gossip of people in the corner is heard by Hannah Joseph, who gradually tightens her fingers

holding a wine glass and throws a cold look at the bride in the distance who is toasting the guests.

Three months ago, it was the time when she and Leo Bruce discussed their engagement.

In the distance, Fiona Angela in a white gauze is holding Leo Bruce’s arm and chatting with the

Shahbaz family.

Hannah Joseph puts away her mobile phone and walks over with her glass.

As soon as she walks closer, she hears a sweet and flattering voice of Fiona Angela.

"I've heard that grandpa likes Thomas Smith's calligraphy and painting. I wanted to give it to you when

you had your birthday before, but I was in France at that time. It is a coincidence today I have brought

that painting specially for you when I know you will come."

"Nowadays, there are not many of Mr. Smith’s calligraphy and paintings in the market, among which

the most famous one is the Painting of Mountain Pines. Unfortunately, the market is full of forgeries.

The real one has long been lost."

When mentioning this, Leo Bruce and Fiona Angela exchange a look.

"It's the Painting of Mountain Pines." Leo Bruce looks proud, holding Fiona Angela’s shoulder.

" Fiona Angela has asked many of her friends to inquire about the painting and bought it at a high price

from a real estate agent in Hong Kong six months ago."

"Oh!" Mr. Shahbaz is overjoyed, "Then I have to see it."

When Hannah Joseph walks over there, Fiona Angela has already asked someone to take a

calligraphy and painting. Seeing it, the guests come around spontaneously.

When she sees the painting, Hannah Joseph's eyes tightens. Her fingernails almost reach into her

palm.

Bought it at a high price from a Hong Kong businessman half a year ago? The Painting of Mountain

Pines has been hanging in her father's study since she was a child. It is just one of her father's many

collections.

Mr. Shahbaz looks at the painting with a serious look.

"It must be authentic, Grandpa, I can promise." Leo Bruce looks confident, "If this painting is fake, all

the paintings by Thomas Smith in the market must be fake."

Many of the guests understand the calligraphy and painting. They nod after they look at it for a long

time.

"Grandpa, can I have a look?" After the climax of the atmosphere at the scene, Hannah Joseph who

has been standing for a long time says in a clear and powerful voice, which suppresses the voices of

all the guests.
