Chapter 792 -792: Gold Will Always Shine

“My goodness! Is this Miss Evans’s painting? It’s so refreshingly elegant, no wonder Mrs. Carter specially came for her!”

“Honestly, Miss Swift’s painting is far too inferior compared to this one. They’re not even in the same league, no wonder Mrs. Carter wasn’t interested in Miss Swift!”

“It seems that Tracy Swift hasn’t seen Miss Evans’s painting yet. If she knew there was such an outstanding female painter in the exhibition hall, she wouldn’t have mistakenly thought that Mrs. Carter was here to see her.”

Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Tracy’s face flushed and paled alternately, wishing she could find a crevice to crawl into, her expression becoming increasingly twisted.

She had to endure, she couldn’t lose her temper in front of everyone. Before long, Justin Gresia would find out that something was wrong with the painting, and with his straightforward nature, he would surely question Xaviera Evans in public.

By then, everyone would discover that Xaviera’s painting was a plagiarism of Hayin’s, and they would know that the so-called genius painter they had been praising was actually a plagiarist. Who would still pursue Xaviera?

Mrs. Swift clenched her fists, her gaze anxiously turning to Justin Gresia, “Mr. Gresia, you’ve studied oil painting since childhood. What do you think of this painting?”

Justin was still immersed in the painting, unable to extricate himself. Upon hearing Mrs. Swift’s words, he gradually regained his senses, finding it hard to believe that this painting was by Xaviera Evans. Such a perfect painting drawn by a girl in her twenties, no wonder Mrs. Carter took a liking to Xaviera.

But… this painting seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

“Mr. Gresia?” Mrs. Swift reminded him impatiently.

Justin couldn’t help but exclaim, “Miss Evans’s painting is perfect; I’m not worthy of commenting on it.”

Then he asked puzzledly, “Why would Miss Evans put her painting in the corner of the exhibition hall? A painting of your level should be placed in the front hall.”

Xaviera replied nonchalantly, “Gold will always shine, even if it’s placed in a corner, it will be discovered. Some paintings, even if placed in the front hall, will not catch people’s eyes.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze unconsciously turned towards Tracy Swift.

Tracy’s face flushed with anger, Xaviera was clearly mocking her for having a painting too ordinary to be worthy of being displayed in the front hall.

“But…” Justin suddenly said with a puzzled expression, “I feel like I’ve seen this painting of Miss Evans before, like somewhere else.”

Tracy’s heart leaped, as long as Justin spoke out the truth in public, it would confirm Xaviera’s plagiarism of Hayin’s work. Then, even if Mrs. Carter sided with her, she could not be cleared of the blame.

Justin was deep in thought, as if he hadn’t remembered wrongly, he had seen the sketch of this painting at Miss Hayin’s residence. He had admired Hayin for many years, and only after several visits was he able to enter Hayin’s house once. Unfortunately, he never met Hayin herself, only visiting her painting studio.

This painting was strikingly similar to Miss Hayin’s sketch, it was as if someone had taken Hayin’s work and refined it. Yet everyone claimed this painting belonged to Xaviera Evans, what was going on?

After a moment of silence, Justin couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Evans, may I be so bold as to ask if you completed this painting by yourself?”

Immediately, the atmosphere turned quiet, with everyone staring at Justin skeptically, wondering if the painting’s author was not solely Xaviera Evans?

Xaviera simply smiled faintly and replied nonchalantly, “Yes, by myself.”

However, Justin’s face suddenly changed, his voice adopting a serious tone, “Miss Evans, I don’t want to embarrass you in front of everyone, I hope you answer me truthfully. Did a senior help you complete this painting?”

Everyone gasped, dumbfoundedly staring at Justin and Xaviera.

Although Justin could be a bit of a spoiled young master, his character was never in question, and he wouldn’t slander Xaviera without cause. Could it be true that Xaviera’s painting was completed with someone else’s help? After all, she was barely twenty, how could she paint such a masterful piece?

Looking at Justin’s questioning gaze, Xaviera understood, and glanced unconsciously at Tracy Swift, then replied coldly, “I am certain I completed it by myself.”

“Miss Evans!” Justin furrowed his brows, his face stern, and he shook his head helplessly, “I already gave you the opportunity, but you still wouldn’t admit it. Do you really want to disgrace yourself in public?”

Xaviera’s expression remained calm, showing no signs of anxiety.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Swift pretended to be surprised, “Mr. Gresia, we must be careful with our words, we can’t falsely accuse Miss Evans for no reason.”
