Chapter 210
As soon as Melody said this, Russell was stunned. Then, he became even more furious “Melody, are you really going to anger me to death? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused?“.
God knew how much effort he had put into restraining himself from putting his fist on Melody’s face.
Mabel recovered from her shock. She was overjoyed in her heart, but her face was filled with worry as he said, “Melody, you’ve really gotten into big trouble this time. Master Derek’s real piece is so precious that it’s sold according to the size of the painting. This painting is so big that it is worth at least millions of dollars. You’re really making Dad and Mom worry too much!”
“Millions of dollars?” Russell’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The Justalion Group was currently in need of money. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and reached out to slap Melody
Melody did not dodge or evade. She just looked at Cheryl calmly.
Just as the slap was about to land on Melody’s face. Cheryl finally spoke. “You passed”
15 3 250 2 2 2 2 2 2 * * 2 * 04 3
Russell froze and looked at Cheryl in disbelief. “Miss Hanson?”
Yolanda and Mabel also widened their eyes. The expression on Mabel’s face instantly froze.
She didn’t want to believe her ears and asked, “Miss Hanson, you said… she passed!“
She thought. How is this possible
Melody’s actions meant that these two paintings were fakes. However, she had said so much just now, which meant that she couldn’t tell the authenticity of these two paintings..
Her expression gradually changed from shock to panic, and her face turned pale.
Cheryl did not even look at Mabel. She looked straight at Melody and asked. These two paintings are indeed fakes. Your taste is not bad. Tell me about your understanding of this painting.”
Understanding was
ng was the last test.
Melody spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. “Oil paintings are divided into landscape paintings, character paintings, and item paintings. Master Derek is best at item paintings. There was once a rumor that a bird he drew was so realistic that even the cat at his home would pounce on it and catch it. The two paintings you gave me are character paintings that he’s not good at. Among the character paintings, the one thing he’s not good at is drawing people’s hands. Therefore, in the later stages of his life, he would even directly not draw hands and cover them with clothes. However, the hands of the two paintings just now were very good, so I judged that both of them were fakes”
There was something else she didn’t say. The real copy of the painting that Cheryl showed her was hanging in Quentin’s study. Other than Quentin, no one else had a second real copy of this painting in the world
After Melody finished speaking, Mabel’s face turned paler.
She did not know anything about what Melody said, and the teacher had never taught her this in class, but Melody even knew about this. She was surprised by her knowledge.
Cheryl nodded as she listened. Her expression seemed cold, but she could not help but carefully observe Melody
Previously, she did not want to look at Melody at all, but now that she observed carefully, she suddenly felt the aura emanating from her body.
Melody’s temperament was simple, elegant, and steady. She was confident but not arrogant. She was like an independent orchid. This temperament was even more attractive than the beautiful Mabel beside her
However, Melody’s appearance was clearly ugly. Her temperament and appearance were mixed together, making her look seriously out of place.
Cheryl could not help but sigh, Even though Wilona’s daughter is extremely ugly, her temperament is indeed extraordinary.
She took a deep look at Melody and felt a sense of pity.
With such a good temperament, even if Melody looked a little more normal, she might be able to compete
e with Mabel for the position of Best Celebrity.
Cheryl looked away and said with a complicated tone. “You’ve passed this round. You can participate in the competition in two months”
However, with her look, even if she participated in the competition, she would be eliminated in the preliminary round. Cheryl felt that it was
1/2
useless for Melody to participate.
She could not help but lament in her heart. Then, she turned to look at the shocked Russell and said, “Mr. Fox, I’ll add her to the competition list tomorrow. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Russell finally pulled himself out of his shock. He quickly retracted his hand that was about to hit Melody and said, “I’ll send you off?”
“That’s okay,” Cheryl said as she walked out. When she passed by Mabel, she said calmly, “You need to learn more from Melody when it comes to appreciating.”
Mabel’s face darkened and she clenched her fists tightly. She did not even notice that her nails had dug into his flesh
It was Yolanda who tried to smooth things over. “Miss Hanson is right, I will try my best to supervise Mabel”
Cheryl nodded and walked away. Her eyes were filled with disappointment for Mabel.
After Cheryl left, Russell seemed to have forgotten his scolding of Melody. He said with a smile. “Good daughter, Cheryl has high standards. If you can get her recognition, I am proud.”
Melody’s heart was filled with ridicule, but on the surface, she said obediently and humbly, I accidentally heard those words from others. I’m born with a good memory. Dad. I must take after you”
Russell was even happier. “After you win the competition, study hard in the future. If you want to
at to learn a
anything, just
st tell Volanda.”
As he spoke, he frowned and said to Mabel reproachfully, “Look at you. How many times have I told you to spend more effort on study? You almost embarrassed me in front of Miss Hanson! You’ve been learning for so long, but you can’t even tell the authenticity of the painting. What exactly are you learning about! You’re not even as good as Melody!”
Mabel bit her lower lip and explained with reddened eyes, “That’s because I was preconceived by what Miss Hanson said, so I was certain that one of the paintings was real. And this wasn’t my assessment at all, so I didn’t even look at it carefully.”
Yolanda quickly explained. “Mabel was so far away from those two paintings. How can she tell if it’s real or fake! Don’t forget. Mabel passed her qualification assessment easily that time. This time, it’s just that she didn’t look at it seriously”
Mabel had a sad look on her face. Her eyes were as bright as water, making people pity her. No one could bear to be angry.
She waved the corner of Russell’s shirt with one hand and said gently. If Daddy is not satisfied. I will definitely study harder in the future. Daddy. don’t be angry anymore, okay”
Seeing this, Russell could not bear to lose his temper at his most precious daughter.
He relaxed his furrowed brows and softened his tone. “Dad didn’t think too much about it, but what I said was for your own good. Alright, let’s forget about this matter.”
“Thank you, Daddy! Daddy is the best!” Mabel raised her bright face. Her eyes were filled with ripples. Russell was very satisfied.
Melody thought. Ulric would definitely like this face.
She watched everything expressionlessly, and the mockery in her eyes intensified.
It was the same every time. No matter what mistake Mabel made, she only needed to cry and pretend to be pitiful Russell would immediately
soften his heart.
However, these were all trivial matters. Melody wondered if Mabel’s tears would be of any use after Mabel made an even bigger mistake in the
future.
