/ Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love Chapter 1226 – Chapter 1226 Chapter 1229 Not Afraid of God
Chapter 1226: Chapter 1229: Not Afraid of God-like Opponents, But Afraid of Pig-like Teammates Chapter 1226: Chapter 1229: Not Afraid of God-like Opponents, But Afraid of Pig-like Teammates It was right there! Before the Scott family could respond, Aidan Lucas had just finished speaking when several waiters came out with a scroll of painting.
With just a glance, Aidan Lucas signaled, and the waiters unrolled the scroll.
As the scroll was gradually unfurled, the true image on it began to reveal itself.
Hundreds of diverse and endearing young children appeared on the scroll, and seated in the middle was an old man representing longevity.
“The family portrait, this is the family portrait that the Lucas family bought twenty years ago!”
Guests with discerning eyes in the crowd shouted out.
This 'family portrait' was painted a thousand years ago by a national treasure-level master, and even the lowest starting bid for any of his works on the market is fifteen million dollars.
This 'family portrait' not only symbolizes good fortune but is also the master's final masterpiece, encapsulating the essence of his lifetime's skills.
Both in terms of its collectible and artistic value, this painting is truly priceless.
Twenty years ago, while Mr. Lucas was still alive, he bought this painting from an overseas auction house for a sky-high price.
That incident caused quite a stir at the time.
Not only was the Lucas family's lavish display memorable, but the media's hype also portrayed their actions as an effort to protect Eastonian cultural heritage from falling into foreign hands.
“Should one pay a high price to buy back Eastonian cultural relics that were looted abroad?” was once a hotly debated topic.
And now, even after twenty years, many people still remember this painting.
The sudden appearance of this man, who could command the waiters of the Seven-star King's Palace to serve him and present this 'family portrait', almost spoke for itself who he was.
“Mr. Scott, this family portrait symbolizes good fortune and is perfect for celebrating your long life. I present this painting to you, wishing you a long life, surrounded by children and grandchildren, with everlasting days and months.”
With a subtle gesture from Aidan Lucas, the clever waiter brought the painting up to Mr. Scott.
“No, there's no need for such a grand gift,” Mr. Scott understood by then.
He understood completely.
If there was any hesitation previously, it cleared completely when he saw the painting.
Many young people present might not know the history of this painting, but someone of his age certainly would.
The family portrait, which shocked the nation twenty years ago, was indeed in the possession of the Lucas family.
Such a valuable treasure, once imbued with patriotic sentiment, was something Christopher Scott, no matter how shameless, dared not accept under everyone's watchful eyes.
Mr. Scott had seen through the situation clearly by now; the man before him was indeed Aidan Lucas, while the one sitting with Tania Scott at the main table was a complete impostor!
“Aidan, I appreciate your sentiment. It's good enough that you could come; we don't need this gift, it's not appropriate, it's too precious.”
Mr. Scott forced a smile, realizing the disconcerting presence of two Aidan Lucases. Memories of Larry Scott's warnings resonated in his mind.
He knew without digging deeper that he had been tricked and deceived!
But now, even though everyone present had heard him address the impostor as 'Mr. Lucas', he had to keep up the act to avoid a confrontation.
Preserving the Scott family's dignity was most important, and whatever it took, he needed to fuddle through this situation first.
The rest could be dealt with later on.
However, Christopher Scott, although hopeful, forgot that not everyone in the Scott family could see the situation as clearly as he did.
He forgot an age-old saying, “Fear not a god-like opponent, but rather a pig-like teammate!”
Just after Christopher Scott finished speaking, Tania Scott, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up, “Great-grandpa, what are you talking about? Are you also like those short-sighted people below, unable to recognize the real person? Where is Aidan here? The real Aidan is clearly right here!”
