Chapter 40 Vodka Again
Nicholas was confident that the Monet painting was a forgery because while human eyes can be deceived, the data from high–tech equipment don’t lie. With advancements in technology, the authentication of antiques no longer relies solely on experts. Many have turned to using high–tech professional devices for more accurate determinations, which can pinpoint the exact historical period of artifacts through various scans and tests.

“Since you’re willing to spend an additional fifty million, I have nothing more to say. But I will reveal the true painting hidden within this one to show you,” said Nicholas.
“Please! If you need anything, just ask. As long as I have it, I will provide,” Nicholas replied generously.
“Great, can you bring me an alcohol burner? I need an empty one with no alcohol in it,” Daniel requested
“Certainly,” Nicholas went to get the alcohol burner.
Daniel turned to Brittany, “Brittany, could you please buy me another bottle of vodka?!
“Are you trying to make a fool out of me? Why didn’t you ask for two bottles in the first place? I won’t go! You can go yourself!”
Unwilling to run this errand, Brittany left Daniel with no choice but to look to Jessica.
‘Jessica, could you help me out? Without this bottle of vodka, I won’t be able to secure those two billion for you.”
Jessica knew what Daniel was doing.
“Daniel, you bastard! Do you think you can control me like this?”
“No! I don’t think that! It’s just that Brittany isn’t willing to go, and you don’t want to either, so I’ll have to
admit defeat soon.”
“How dare you threaten me?”
“I’m not!”
“Yes, you are!”
Jessica glared at Daniel, huffing angrily, “I’ll punish you when we get back!”
She then turned her head towards Brittany.
“Go run the errand!”
Brittany was taken aback in disbelief at Jessica’s response.
*Jessica, this useless guy has the audacity to demand you to do things. You can’t indulge him!therwise,
he’ll soon start disrespecting you.”
“Are you also going against me?”
Chapter 40 Vodka Again:
“I… no.”
Brittany left with resentment brewing inside her, clenching her fists as she went to buy the vodka.
Soon, Brittany returned with the vodka, and Nicholas brought a brand–new alcohol burner. Daniel poured
the vodka into the burner.
“Do you have a lighter, Smiley Nick?” Daniel asked.
“A lighter? Let me check!”
After searching for a while, Nicholas couldn’t find a lighter.
“Daniel, I’m sorry; I don’t have a lighter.”
“Without a lighter, how am I supposed to ignite this alcohol burner?”
Once again, Daniel turned to Brittany, chuckling softly, “Brittany, could you help me get a lighter?”
“You… I won’t go!” Brittany refused again.
“You w
will go!” Jessica commanded, unwilling to be manipulated by Daniel any longer.
Brittany glared at Daniel, her eyes nearly shooting flames.
“Besides the lighter, is there anything else you need to buy? Say it all now; this is the last time I’m running errands for you!”
“This painting is worth two billion, and its vell needs to be lifted layer by layer. I can’t possibly know right now what else I might need. If there is something else I require later, I’ll have to bother you again. If you’re not willing, that’s okay, I guess I’ll just have Jessica help me.”
