Chapter 181
Rosalind continued, “If she really wanted this painting, why didn’t she continue the bid?
She didn’t actually want it. She just wanted to trick me!”
Everyone’s eyes became complicated.
“Did Ms. Brown secretly plot against Ms. Gold because she was unwilling to get a divorce
with Mr. Salvador?”
“I don’t think so. They’re already divorced. What’s the point of doing this? It’ll just make
her seem petty.”
“It’s not pointless. That’s Mr. Salvador we’re talking about. He’s perfect! It’ll be hard to get
over him.”
“She looks so elegant, but she’s such a scheming woman. She’s wasting her smarts on a
man. What a pity!”
The constant criticism about Anna made Rosalind happy.
“Ms. Brown, did you really do this?” Gregory frowned and looked at Bella seriously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNigel looked at Bella, also waiting for her answer.
“Ms. Gold, you really misunderstood me.”
Bella took a step forward. Her beautiful face was now aggrieved and pitiful. “I was the first
to bid on this painting. You were the one who followed my bid. I really liked this painting,
and I wanted to contribute to charity, so I raised the bid from the beginning, hoping to get
it. Mr. Salvador and Mr. Hoffman were also present at the time to testify for me.”
Everyone thought, ‘Look at this reversal!’
“You…!” Rosalind was so furious that she did not know what to say at the moment.
“I can testify for her!”
Ryan stood up immediately to show his presence in front of his crush. “Ms. Brown was the
one who made the first bid, and Ms. Gold followed it. This painting should have been Ms.
Brown’s.”.
Justin’s eyes were deep and cold as he glared at Ryan. ‘This bastard is everywhere!’
“My original intention was to take this painting for my own collection because I really like
the original piece in Grandpa’s study. So even if it is a replica, I wanted it. After all, this
painting reminds me of the days I spent with Grandpa.”
Bella pursed her lips and lowered her long eyelashes helplessly. “But Ms. Gold looked like
she wanted this painting at that time, so I withdrew from the bid after competing for
several rounds. This is basic bidding etiquette, so I don’t understand how I’m at fault. Ms.
Gold, the way you questioned me really hurt my heart. If you feel like you’ve spent
unnecessary money, I can buy this painting from you to make up for your loss.”
Look how the tables turnéd!
Bella’s eyes were clear and watery. Her superb acting skills made it look even more
convincing!
Justin tilted his head slightly and let out a cold breath as he fixed his gaze on her.
He just watched silently as she continued acting.
“You… That’s nonsense!”
Rosalind’s face was red from embarrassment. Just as she was about to explode in anger,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShannon hurriedly walked over and pinched her secretly. Rosalind felt the pain and
immediately returned to her senses. She almost exposed her true colors in public.
“Haha… It’s all a misunderstanding. Dad, Rose doesn’t come out often and rarely
participates in such occasions. She just buys what others buy. What matters is her
intention to buy a gift for you.”
Shannon raised her eyebrows and looked at Rosalind. “Your mother just called, saying that
there’s something urgent at home. Please call her back soon. Don’t make her anxious. Go
on!”
Rosalind gritted her teeth and retreated dejectedly.
Nigel frowned for a moment. He held Bella’s hand and said, “Anna, if you liked the painting
in my study, you should’ve just told me. I’ll give it to you. So what if it’s an original
Renaissance painting? Even if you want the Statue of David, Grandpa will find a way to get
it for you! Grandpa will never be stingy with you, my dear.”
“Thank you, Grandpa. Your love is more than enough. I don’t need anything else.” Bella
squeezed Nigel’s hand and smiled sweetly.
This time, everyone finally understood.
Justin had already divorced Anna, but it looked like they had not completely cut off ties.
Rosalind was definitely out of luck!
