The Despicable Liar

This painting was clearly fake. He didn't believe that with Audrey and Albert's eyes, they wouldn't be able to see this.

In that case, there was only one explanation.

In order to protect John's reputation, Audrey deliberately reversed the truth.

She had turned a fake painting into a real one so that John wouldn't be embarrassed at his birthday party!

After understanding the crux of the matter, Wayne was instantly enraged.

When Audrey targeted him, he would pretend that nothing had happened. After all, his status in the Jones family was not high.

However, he was here today to celebrate Albert's birthday and had even given him a valuable gift.

Despite that, Audrey still wanted to target him!

This made Wayne rather angry.

However, before he could continue, his relatives and friends at the party thought that Audrey was telling the truth and began to mock Wayne.

"Wayne is truly a lunatic. He actually dared say that the painting was fake. Now that he's been exposed, does he know how embarrassing it is?"

"It is! It was really funny. Is this what a piece of trash wants to do after being forced into a corner?"

"Wayne has really embarrassed the Jones family. This should be the biggest scandal in the Jones family recently, right?"

"That's not it. The biggest scandal in the Jones family recently should be letting Wayne become a live-in son-in-law."

The crowd continued to mock Wayne.

At this moment, John was looking at Wayne with a sneer on his face.

"Wayne, you just insulted my reputation and said that the painting I gave you was fake. Based on this point alone, I can sue you in court and say that you have violated my reputation."

After a short pause, John continued, "However, if you can come to me, kneel down and apologize, and beg me to spare you... I can also consider not suing you. How is it? Wayne, I've been good to you, right?"

When he said these words, John's face was full of arrogance.

The surrounding relatives and friends also began to echo John, asking Wayne to apologize to him.

As they spoke, they would also mock and belittle Wayne without mercy.

It was as if Wayne had become a complete piece of trash and a liar in everyone's eyes!

Wayne could not bear this feeling.

In the past, he had always been tolerant so that he and his mother would have a place to live.

But now, he had the ability to be independent of the Jones family.

He didn't want to endure this injustice and abuse anymore!

With a cold snort, Wayne walked straight to the painting.

Then, in front of everyone's shocked eyes, he tore the painting into pieces!

This scene made John's eyes widen, and he said angrily, "Wayne! Look at what you've done! This painting is worth millions of dollars, and you tore it up just like that! Are you crazy? I'm telling you, if you can't pay me back today, the Jones family will never let you go!"

Audrey's favoritism towards him just now had already made John feel a little more confident.

At this moment, he was berating Wayne even more.

The other people in the party also exclaimed in shock after seeing this scene.

They looked at Wayne and the painting that had been shredded into pieces. Their eyes were filled with regret and anger.

"Wayne, what are you trying to do? Aren't you afraid of going to jail for tearing up such an expensive painting?"

"That's right! Wayne, this painting's value far exceeds yours. How dare you tear it up, you despicable piece of trash?!"

"You're finished, you're really finished! This painting was worth a few million! You won't be able to pay for it in this lifetime. Just go to jail!"

Everyone was mocking him and cursing loudly.

In their eyes, Wayne was like an extremely despicable and shameless villain.

After finding out that the value of his gift was far less than John's, he used this method of tearing up John's painting to embarrass John.

"Shameless brat! What a shameless fellow!"

Wayne's expression didn't change much as he listened to the abuse and ridicule.

He walked directly to the front of the torn painting, the expression on his face was very calm.

Picking up a piece of art, Wayne said, "You said that this painting is from a hundred years ago and is named 'Silent Thinker'. However, the craftsmanship of this canvas was only discovered seventy years ago. How can a canvas from seventy years ago be used to complete a painting from a hundred years ago?"

When Wayne finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

There were also people who were proficient in canvas craftsmanship.

They quickly recognized the canvas. It was indeed as Wayne had said, it was created seventy years ago!

"Hmm... Wayne seems to be right. I work in a canvas studio. This kind of canvas was indeed created seventy years ago."

"Then it's impossible to use it to create a painting from a hundred years ago!"

"That's right, then this painting... Is it actually fake?"

The people at the party also gradually reacted and looked in John's direction.

"So, we've been wrong about Wayne. This painting is actually fake!"

"Yeah, John actually bought a fake painting for Albert and said it was real. What a funny guy."

"This guy, does he think that no one can see through his tricks? This is too much!"

"It seems that Wayne isn't the scammer, John is."

Everyone realized the truth and began to blame and scold John.

After all, a despicable liar would not be liked by anyone.

John's expression turned ugly in the face of all this mockery and abuse.

Gritting his teeth, John turned to Audrey for help.
