The Wrong Woman

Chapter 43

Suzanne felt awkward because of Vera’s sudden shout. Her cheeks flushed slightly in embarrassment.

But Vera intended to humiliate Sally in public, so she pointed at the painting. “It’s fine if this is an imitation. Thank you for the gift, but please don’t tell anyone you meet that this painting is authentic.”

Everyone in the banquet hall was stunned.

Sally’s complexion paled for a moment before her cheeks turned crimson out of fury.

“What do you know about paintings?” she questioned Suzanne. “Do. you even know the art of ink painting? Have you ever seen an actual painting created by Inkwell? Who gave you the right to call my

painting an imitation?”

Suzanne was stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she was proven to be wrong, then she’d end up humiliating herself in front of

everyone.

However, Vera didn’t think of it that way.

Only experts in art could tell authentic paintings from their fake. counterparts when it came to famous paintings. Since someone had claimed that Sally’s painting was an imitation, everyone would naturally assume that it really was one.

“Nate, please judge the situation for me! Suzanne has no right to

claim that my painting is an imitation! What does she know, anyway? How could she humiliate me in front of everyone? She’s being outrageous!”

Nathan was unbothered by what was going on. In fact, he even pushed Sally’s hands away while looking slightly irritated.
