'What does he mean?' Orson wondered.
Orson was stunned for a moment before his expression changed immediately. He suddenly looked up and shot a sharp gaze at lan.
The others were also stunned for a long time. Their bewildered gazes kept wandering between lan and Orson.
The hidden meaning behind lan's words was too explosive.
What did lan mean by that? Was lan hinting that Orson had set him up?
Even Joshua frowned and looked at Orson coldly.
Sensing the gazes of the people around him, Orson clenched his fists tightly and controlled himself from losing his composure.
Orson thought, 'How is that possible? Does lan really know?'
Orson was extremely flustered. He had been meticulous in his actions, even seeking help from various people. There was no way lan could have discovered the truth.
Orson thought to himself, 'Calm down. I have to calm down, and I definitely can not admit it.
'I have done this very cleanly. I have not left any evidence behind. There is no way lan can get any evidence.
'As long as I don't admit it, lan can't do anything to me.'
Thinking of this, Orson felt much more relaxed.
Orson began to calm down and looked straight at lan. It was as if lan had wronged him.
"lan." Orson pretended to be heartbroken. "Are you suspecting me? You really disappoint me. You're my sister's child. I've doted on you since you were young. How could I harm you? "Today, you have to produce evidence, or I will never admit to this

groundless crime."
Orson's attitude was very humble. He even used his status as an elder to denounce lan. If lan could not produce evidence or the evidence was insufficient, he would definitely be criticized.
After all, the Phil family had helped lan a lot. If lan blamed his uncle without any evidence, it would have been easy for others to call him an ingrate.

After uttering these words, Orson smiled discreetly, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked coldly at lan.
Orson wanted to see how lan would answer.
Everyone's gaze followed Orson and landed on lan.
lan did not care about the gazes of the crowd. He only raised his eyes slightly and glanced around indifferently. The room immediately fell
silent.
lan chuckled, his exquisite eyes shining with teasing starlight. "Uncle Orson, what are you talking about? I'm just joking with you."
At this point, lan paused for a moment and said with a faint smile, "Uncle Orson, are you too nervous? How could you misunderstand that I suspect you? This matter has nothing to do with you. I never had any intention of suspecting you.
"You're too nervous!"
As soon as lan finished speaking, Orson's expression changed. He immediately realized that he had been tricked.
Orson immediately turned to look at Joshua, wanting to see his reaction.
lan did not give Orson a chance to explain at all. He said directly, "Today is Grandpa's birthday. It's a big day. How can I suspect my uncle and make my grandpa unhappy? I gave my grandpa the ancient painting because I wanted him to be happy. I didn't expect so many things to happen."
lan was magnanimous and explained simply. Soon, he diverted everyone's

attention.
It made people think in his direction.
That was right. It was a good thing that lan gave Joshua paintings, but the Phil family suspected that it was fake. That was why so many things happened.
"Grandpa." lan tugged at Joshua's sleeves and said, "There's no need to delve into this matter. Don't affect your birthday party."
As lan spoke, he went forward to support Joshua and walked toward the front hall.
The others followed one after another. Only Orson remained motionless, standing rooted to the ground like a statue.
Orson thought, 'Oh no, I have been tricked by lan.
'lan does not have any evidence at all. In fact, he is not even sure. He was just trying to trick me. If I had nothing to hide, I would have directly refuted him. But I felt guilty... Orson closed his eyes. 'Oh no, Dad must be suspecting me. Ian, I really underestimated you!'
