Who Is The Real Boss?

Chapter 27 Strange Picture

Heather stared at Annabel with a corner of her lips raised.

In her eyes, it was impossible for a poor girl like Annabel to bring a decent gift or anything at all for Bruce.She wanted to paint herself as the only woman qualified enough to be Rupert's wife.

It had gotten to her that Bruce was the one who got Rupert and Annabel engaged.She wanted to seize this opportunity to change Bruce's mind.She had been sucking up to Erica for a long time, and it worked.

However, Rupert was still cold and distant to her.

Erica informed her that Rupert stayed engaged to Annabel just to please his grandfather.

As a result, Heather figured that she had to work extra hard to leave a good impression on Bruce while also pulling Annabel down, so she could become the new Mrs.Benton soon.

"I didn't prepare any gift."

Strangely, there was no panic on Annabels face.

Disdain flashed through Heather's eyes.She knew that this hillbilly came empty-handed.

Annabel was so rude and uncultured in front of Bruce.It appeared she would be kicked out very soon.

To her greatest surprise, Annabel took out a painting from her bag and said with a bright smile, "This is Monet's work, Woman with a Parasol.My grandpa asked me to give it to you."

Bruce's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the painting.

He said happily, "This is nice.Thank Leonard for me."

Heather's mouth was agape as she stared at the painting.

The figure in the painting was lifelike.

It looked like a masterpiece worth millions.

Compared to the painting, Heather's gift was nothing.

Bruce was a lover of paintings.

He smiled from ear to ear as he looked at the painting with bright eyes.

How was this possible? How did a pauper like Annabel get such a precious painting? It looked real, but was it fake? Yes, it must be a fake! At the thought of this, Heather blurted out, "Annabel, don't you think it's insulting to gift Bruce a fake painting?"

A fake painting? Annabel's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

The painting was a real, not fake at all.
