Chapter 34 The Real Work of Leonardo da Vinci

When Jacob saw the tightly wrapped photo frame, he felt a little strange. What kind of picture was it? Why was it wrapped so tightly？

Watson didn't keep his guessing. Instead, he easily pulled off the cloth.

When Jacob saw the real face of the painting, he was directly stunned. The weird and appalling style of the painting made him a little surprised.

But when Jacob calmed down, he soon found the problem of the painting and quickly called the butler.

"Go and find someone to check this painting for me."

With just a few words, Watson knew that there must be something wrong with this painting, and its origin must be not simple.

Thinking of this, Watson smiled slightly, with a gleam shining in his eyes.

After giving the order, Jacob looked at Watson apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. Can you give me some time to study your painting?"

Although Jacob could roughly guess Watson's intention, he still asked.

Watson nodded. The reason why he came here was to let Jacob authenticate this painting. Now it seemed that this painting had a strong background.

It must have a powerful background.

Soon, the experts came in a hurry. Wearing simple clothes and a pair of gold silk frames, he looked gentle and elegant. He was a well-informed person.

When the professional saw the painting, his face quickly changed from anxiety at the beginning to shocking. He gradually became obsessed with it and kept looking at the handwriting on the painting.

Watson didn't know much about this, so he waited aside. From time to time, he took a look at Jacob and the professional. The conversation between the two men also reached his ears in detail.

"This painting looks like Leonardo da Vinci's style, but it seems that it is not finished yet."

The professional said in a low voice, with a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

When Jacob heard this, he was slightly surprised with his mouth wide open, but then followed by a sense of excitement.

"Then you'd better check whether it is his real work or not."

Watson took all these words into his ears, pretending to be drinking tea. He lowered his head slightly, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

It seemed that he was lucky this time.

Although it wasn't sure if it was Leonardo da Vinci's painting, Watson was a little sure that it was his work, but it was not finished.

After listening to the order of Jacob, the professional quickly checked some relevant information and compared it with others, and even found a few photos of Leonardo da Vinci's real work as a comparison.

As a professional, he had the most complete information, unlike the information online, and he quickly found a matched point.

"According to the investigation, this painting is very similar to the original work of Leonardo da Vinci, but it may be a painting created by Leonardo da Vinci after drinking, so it is not finished."

After a long time, the experts finally proved what they thought and gave the answer.

After hearing the answer, Watson's face did not change much, but only he knew the excitement in his heart.

On the other hand, Jacob took a stealthy glance at Watson. Seeing that Watson didn't look surprised, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that young people nowadays were generous.

If someone else encountered this kind of thing, he would probably want to sell it at a high price, or perhaps jump up with excitement.

After telling the result to Watson, Jacob was ready to bid for the painting, even if it was only created by Leonardo da Vinci casually after drinking and it was not finished.

But it was just a plan.

After hearing Jacob's words, Watson nodded and asked calmly, "Then do you think this painting is valuable?"

Jacob didn't say anything but looked at the professional, who raised his glasses and said lightly.

"Although it was Leonardo da Vinci's real work, it was not finished after drinking, and it was not well-known. So, the value of this collection depends on the person who collected it."

The expert gave him an answer.

Hearing this, Watson was lost in thought. To put it bluntly, if someone like Leonardo da Vinci's painting, it would be worth collecting, but if he didn't care, it was just an unfinished work.

Seeing the hesitation on Watson's face, Jacob couldn't help but put forward his idea.

"How about buying your painting with 12 million dollars?"

Jacob not only wanted to collect this painting but also wanted to be nice to Watson. Maybe he would treat Julian better, or perhaps he would feel better about her.

Watson secretly raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the other party would buy it for 12 million dollars.

"Since Sir Jacob likes this painting so much, how can I take it away from you?"

Watson agreed without hesitation. With a wave of his hand, he handed the painting to Sir Jacob.

After getting the painting, a hint of surprise flashed through Jacob's eyes. Fortunately, it was unfinished work. If it was finished, he could not buy it with 12 million dollars.

Besides, it was real work.

People with a high position like Sir Jacob usually liked to collect such valuable things. No matter whether they had finished them or not, they would try their best to collect them. In this way, not only would they be proud, but also would be happy.

Watson could probably guess what was going on between them, but he didn't mention it.

Anyway, Watson didn't like the weird and appalling painting in his mansion. He was afraid that it would frighten him when he got up at night.

Since someone was willing to spend a lot of money to buy the painting, why not? He could even make friends with him because of it.

The two of them agreed with each other. One paid the money, and the other delivered the goods.

"I like someone as straightforward as you. I'll give you the money later." Sir Jacob laughed and patted Watson on the shoulder. The appreciation in his eyes was obvious.

The others besides all lowered their heads slightly, but they could see that Sir Jacob was satisfied with Watson.

Watson nodded. He trusted Julian's father. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to find him.

"In that case, I'll leave now. I won't disturb the pleasure of Sir Jacob."

Watson said goodbye and left, while Sir Jacob was concentrating on the painting.
