Auden asked people to exchange Lin Zhiming's paintings, and also got a fake painting for Lin Zhiming. If no one knew about it, Lin Zhiming would give it to him with a fake painting.
Den then drew the real picture and slapped Lin Zhiming on the face, causing Lin Zhiming to lose all face.
Such behavior made Auden instantly become the object of contempt and contempt by everyone.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became uncomfortable.
"Oden, you disappoint me!" Ryan Portman looked at Oden coldly and said.
"Uncle, this, this is all a misunderstanding. Uncle, don't believe him. I, I was wronged!" Auden said excitedly.
"At this point, you still want to quibble?" Ryan Portman asked.
"Uncle, I was really wronged!" Auden said.
"Wrongfully accused? That's fine, let's let you die completely." Lin Zhiming said, took out his mobile phone, and then clicked on one of the videos.
In the video, an old man with blond hair and blue eyes is painting, and the painting the old man made is actually the one on the table at this time!
"Master Millsap asked me to take this photo five years ago. Master Millsap was already ill at that time. He hoped that I could help him record his painting process so that it can be used as teaching material in the future!" Lin Zhiming pointed.
product said.
In the video, Millsap is explaining some painting techniques, and the time shown in the video is indeed five years ago.
Auden clearly stated that he bought this painting from Millsap eight years ago.
In other words, everything Oden said before was all lies.
Coupled with the fluorescent powder now in Oden's hand, no matter what Oden said at this time, it was meaningless.
Obviously, Oden himself also knew that he could not make a comeback. He plopped down and knelt down in front of Ryan Portman and cried, "Uncle, I was wrong. Uncle, please give me another chance. I will never do it again."
I don’t dare anymore.”
"Why are you doing this?" Ryan Portman asked.
"I...I just don't want Natalie to marry a person from the Dragon Kingdom. She is a flower to our aristocrats from the Rotten Kingdom. She must marry one of our aristocrats from the Rotten Kingdom!" Oden said excitedly.
Hearing Oden's words, many people present looked at Lin Zhiming and Natalie.
To be honest, they didn't want Natalie to marry Lin Zhiming, just like the beauty of their class was taken away by someone from another class.
From this point of view, they feel that Oden still deserves to be forgiven.
"You disappoint me so much." Ryan Portman shook his head and said, "Zhi Ming and Natalie love each other. Although Zhi Ming is not a noble, he is also a powerful person in the Dragon Kingdom. No matter what, he will
You are worthy of Natalie, but you, as a noble, use such despicable methods to deal with this person, you have simply lost the face of the nobles."
"Uncle, I don't dare anymore, please give me another chance!" Auden said excitedly.
"Today so many people are looking at you and me. If you can be forgiven for doing this, then our family will become a joke in the entire aristocratic circle. Everyone here please bear witness for me. From today on, I will deprive my nephew
All Oden Portman's positions in the property under my name will be represented by my daughter Natalie, and all the fiefdoms I previously gave to Oden Portman will be taken back." Ryan Portman showed no expression.
said.
Upon hearing this, Oden's face suddenly froze, and the people around him were also a little surprised.
Ryan Portman's punishment was a bit too severe. He immediately stripped Oden from his property, which meant that all the years of Oden's work in his property were in vain.
Although Oden himself still has many properties, Ryan Portman's properties are far more than Oden's!
"Uncle, do you really want to do this?" Auden asked with a stiff face.
"Yes." Ryan Portman nodded.
"Okay, I know what you mean." Auden sighed, then stood up and said to the people around him, "Everyone, I was indeed wrong about this matter today, but I just don't want our family to
Someone marries a foreigner who is not a nobleman. I think such behavior will bring shame to our family. All my starting points are for the family, but since my uncle has made the decision to punish me, I have nothing to say.
You can tell!"
After speaking, Auden turned and left.
Thousands of people at the scene watched as Oden walked out of the banquet hall.
Everyone has different expressions on their faces. Some people think that what Oden did is actually okay, while others think that Oden did too much.
"Dear guests, please take your seats. I hope this incident will not affect your mood!"
Payton, the head butler, spoke at this time.
The nobles present looked at each other, and then everyone returned to their respective seats and sat down.
The dinner party has officially begun.
However, everyone felt a little weird in their hearts at this time. They always felt that Natalie had become the final winner after what happened today.
On the main table.
"Why don't you just let His Highness the Prince test the authenticity of the painting?" Natalie asked Lin Zhiming in a low voice.
"How can we show Oden's ugly face more thoroughly in that case?" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Yes!" Natalie nodded. After several rounds of verbal exchanges, Oden told many lies. In this case, when everything is exposed at the last moment, Oden's face will indeed become ugly.
A lot.
"But why did you know that Auden wanted to subcontract your painting?" Natalie asked.
"Let's talk about these things at night. Now is not the time to talk about these things!" Lin Zhiming said in a low voice.
Natalie nodded and asked no more questions.
In the banquet hall, as time passed, the atmosphere of the banquet slowly recovered from the previous embarrassment.
Thousands of nobles sat together, eating and drinking, chatting about interesting things, and everyone slowly forgot what happened just now.
Of course, those things just now are destined to be impossible to forget, and they will spread throughout the European aristocratic circle at an extremely fast speed after the birthday dinner.
Fortunately, before leaving, Auden attributed everything to the fact that he did not want to see Natalie marry Lin Zhiming, who was not an aristocrat. This way he could win some recognition and sympathy from everyone, and it would not make him become everyone.
The object of contempt.
Halfway through the dinner, Ryan Portman slowly stood up with Natalie's support.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Ryan Portman held a microphone in his hand and said to everyone, "Dear nobles of the dojo, first of all, thank you for coming to my birthday dinner. This may be the last birthday for me in this life."
"Father, your health will definitely be fine!" Natalie said excitedly.
Ryan Portman smiled and said, "I know my own body well. I may not be able to see the flowers bloom next year, but that doesn't matter. Everyone will leave this world, and I am no exception. I
This life is long enough and exciting enough. There are still regrets, but there are not many anymore."
Ryan Portman's words made many people feel his open-mindedness, even though his voice was a little trembling and hoarse.
"I have something to announce here today, and I hope all the nobles and His Highness the Prince can bear witness for me!" said Ryan Portman.
After hearing Ryan Portman's words, everyone's faces became serious.
"My daughter Natalie Portman will be officially engaged to Lin Zhiming from the Eastern Dragon Kingdom. Their wedding will be held on the 20th of next month!" Ryan Portman said.
Ryan Portman's words made the guests present stunned for a moment, and then the audience burst into warm applause.
Lin Zhiming and Natalie looked at each other. They had already known the news in advance, so they were not surprised at this time.
"At the same time, I will also submit a title inheritance application to the royal family today. After the royal family's review and approval, Natalie, my daughter, will become the new Bauhinia Duke." Ryan Portman continued.
The title of Duke of Bauhinia is passed down from generation to generation. After Ryan Portman's son died unexpectedly, Natalie Portman should have inherited this title. Therefore, after Ryan Portman said
No one was surprised when he said this, and Ryan Portman's physical condition was already very bad, and it was time to hand over his title.
However, it is a pity that Oden was originally a popular candidate to inherit the title. Unexpectedly, something like this happened tonight. Not only did the matter of inheriting the title come to nothing, but also his job under Ryan Portman.
Jobs in the industry have also been deprived of, and it is simply a waste of time.
The birthday dinner finally came to an end with a sound of blessings.
Lin Zhiming successfully got engaged to Natalie and is scheduled to get married next month.
Ye Shan, who witnessed the whole scene, felt her head was buzzing.
She really couldn't understand how Lin Zhiming and Natalie got engaged while acting.
Then won't the next two people get married soon? After all, it's only more than a month away from the 20th of next month.
So, is it just a fake show?
Ye Shan's mind was full of doubts.
At the end of the dinner, Lin Zhiming and Natalie sent the guests out of the manor, while Ryan Portman returned to his room to rest early due to his health.
After all the guests were sent away, Lin Zhiming and Natalie were not in a hurry to return to their residences, but instead walked around in the garden of the manor together.
Under the moonlight, the two figures stood side by side, looking like two young lovers who had just been together.
No words were said between the two of them, they just walked around leisurely.
I don’t know how long it took, but Natalie broke the silence first.
