Tiana froze.

Elise must be kidding. She had seen those paintings in person before stuffing them into the safe. There wasn’t an ‘Ink Peonies’.

Could it be that Elise didn’t hand over all of SQ’s paintings that day but kept a few to herself?

Oh, Elise is cunning. She reckoned Elise was betting on the fact that SQ was old and had a bad memory, so they wouldn’t find out even if one or two paintings were missing, so she deliberately kept some to enrich herself.

However, Tiana pretended to be SQ to take the paintings away since she didn’t know how many genuine artworks there were. After everything she had done, it had backfired and Elise was now taking advantage of it.

Tiana found such actions a little distasteful at the thought of it. She had also taken SQ’s painting, but she was always worried and did not dare to show the artwork to other people, but Elise was openly using it to win favors.

How shameless. No one rivals her when it comes to this.

However, it had gotten to this point, so she couldn’t expose Elise. All she could do was explain with a smile, “SQ has been repeatedly creating the same painting in the past few years, sometimes even painting five to six of the same ones within a year. So, it’s really difficult to tell the specific time they created the artwork.”

“Oh, it seems like SQ quite values perfection.” Elise chuckled mockingly.

She hadn’t touched a brush for several years, but such a colossal lie was being told. It was indeed hard for Tiana to make up a new lie now.

Jonas was a clever person too. He sensed that something wasn’t right at once, so he quickly stepped forward to mediate the situation.

“Hahaha… If that’s the case, then this is the end of the matter today. Thank you, Miss Sinclair and Miss Hill, for solving my predicament today. I’m ecstatic to be able to get a new piece done by SQ. As for the details, there’s no need to pursue it anymore.
