Chapter 15: Embezzle Joanne Leonard's Painting

It seemed that Stan was anxious to end such a ceremony. After exchanging rings, he immediately held Monica's hand and stepped down to greet the guests as if he was eager to conceal something. Going to a remote corner where there was nobody else, Jocelyn indifferently sent the video she had took using her mobile phone to someone, and then she lowered her voice and said on the phone, "The video about the first part of the wedding has been sent to you. After ou pay the remaining sum, I will send the second part to you." Soon, with a sound of "ding", she had received a message which showed the receipt information of her bank account . She counted the balance, raised her lips satisfactorily, and sent the second half of the video to that person. Stan had betrayed her but still wanted to show that he was faithful. It could not be impossible. Don't dream. Did he really think that if everything was simplified at the wedding, he could still be the good man who never gave up looking for his wife? The guests passed Jocelyn, greeted each other and gossiped, "The wedding of Judd family is too shabby." "It's because Stan's fiancee has just died and he has recently offered a reward of 5 million for seeking his wife on TV, and now he is marrying another woman. What will people say if he makes a wasteful arrangements for the wedding?" "It will be very heartless. But why is he so anxious to marry? It is a little adventurous. There are so many people here." "I'm afraid that it is the bride who is eager to marry Stan. I've heard that the bride has been pregnant for three months. If she doesn't get married, others will find that." "Really..." "Of course, my friend is the bridesmaid ..." Hearing the chatters of the people in the corner, Jocelyn held the cup more tightly, and looked at the bride with her cold eyes who was toasting the guests in the distance. Three months ago, it was the time for her to discuss her engagement with Stan. In the distance, Monica in the white wedding dress was holding Stan's arm and was chatting with Morrison family. Jocelyn put away her mobile phone and walked over with a cup of wine in her hand. As soon as she approached, she heard Monica' sweet and charming voice. "I have heard that Grandpa, you likes Jason Hawk's paintings and calligraphy. I have wanted to give away one painting to you when celebrating your birthday. But I was in France at that time. It is so coincidental today. I know you will come here, so I exclusively bring the painting here." "Nowadays, there are not many Mr. Hawk's paintings and calligraphy left on the market. One of the most famous is the painting on pines. Unfortunately, they are all fakes on the market, and the authentic one has long been lost." Hearing that, Stan made an eye contact with Monica. "It's the painting you said." Holding Monica' shoulders in his arm, Stan looked proudly and said. "In order to find this painting, Monica has asked many friends and finally she bought it at a high price from a real estate dealer in Hong Kong half a year ago." "Really?" The old man was overjoyed, "Then I have to look at it." When Jocelyn went there, Monica had asked servant to bring the painting. Seeing that there was famous painting to appreciate, the guests spontaneously surrounded them. When she saw the painting, Jocelyn frowned and her nails almost pinched into her palms. It was impossible that the painting was bought at a high price from a Hong Kong businessman half a year ago. This painting had been hanging in her father's study room since she was a child. It was just one of her father's collections. Looking at the painting, the old man looked more and more solemn. "It must be true. Grandpa, I can assure you." Stan looked very confident, "If this painting is false, then all the Jason Hawk's paintings on the market must be false." Among the guests, there were many people who understood calligraphy and painting. They nodded their heads after watching the painting for a long time. "Grandpa, can you show it to me?" Standing beside for a long time, Jocelyn looked at the scene and seized the opportunity. Then she said that in her clear and powerful voice. All of a sudden, the people present kept silent.
