Everyone present heard the words that came out of Elaine's mouth.
Not only Morgan but even Ruben and Vincent were stunned.
A person who could accurately recognize the master's painting with just one glance was either from that profession or was knowledgeable in that field.
But she was only a little babysitter, so no matter how they looked at it, those two aspects had no relation at all.
How was she able to tell at a glance that this was Master Black's painting then?
Curiously, Ruben raised his eyebrows and asked, "Elaine, how did you managed to recognize this painting?"
Embarrassedly, Elaine rolled up the painting and said with a smile, "I was just spouting nonsense. What I've said might be wrong."
As she spoke, she wanted to return the painting to Morgan.
However, Morgan was very excited as he thought that she must have the same interest as him.
Immediately, he asked, "Miss Jacob, are you also interested in Master Black's painting? You can't be spouting nonsense. You had recognized Master Black's painting at a glance. There's no way that you were spouting nonsense!"
Under the passionate gaze of Morgan, Elaine didn't know what to say, and she could only seek help by looking at Dr. Perkins.
That pitiful gaze of hers was clearly saying, "Dr. Perkins, why don't you control your subordinates..."
Meanwhile, Vincent smiled with interest. "Don't look at me like that. I'm also curious how did you manage to recognize this painting."
His response left Elaine tongue-tied.
In the end, she had no choice but to be honest, "I did recognize this painting, and I also know that it belongs to Master Black. But it's common, right? I mean, who wouldn't know about Master Black's painting?"
Immediately, Ruben raised his hand and replied, "Well, not for me."
Then, Vincent also chimed in. "I don't know about it either."
The servant beside her also shook her head in confusion. "I barely know anything about paintings."
Again, Elaine was speechless.
After that, no matter how she explained, Morgan didn't believe that she knew nothing about paintings. In fact, as if he had met a bosom friend, he took out all the painting that he had collected and placed it in front of her as if he was presenting his treasure.
"Miss Jacob, have look at these. What do you think?"
Since Ruben and Vincent didn't know much about paintings, they had no idea who the painter was.
Furthermore, in their eyes, no matter these paintings were priceless or cheap goods, they all looked the same.
As Elaine tilted her head and sized up the paintings, she seemed a little hesitant.
At that moment, Morgan could tell that she was hesitating, so he smiled and said, "Miss Jacob, feel free to tell me your thoughts. Just give it a try. Since you're still young, it's okay if you couldn't recognize it."
With a nod, Elaine replied, "I'll casually give it a guess then. Morgan, if I'm wrong, please don't laugh at me."
"Don't worry. I definitely won't." Happily, Morgan chuckled.
A moment later, Elaine pointed to two paintings
placed on the edge of the table and said, "These two are the early works of Master Black, whereas this painting which consists of mountains, rivers, and birds is painted by Mr. Moore. Also, this one looks a bit like the paintings of Mr. Rees, but the color of the painting seems to be slightly off."
Not only did she accurately recognize these paintings, but she also knew who the artist was.
At that moment, Morgan wasn't just surprised. Instead, he was dumbfounded. "Miss Jacob, how do you know all these? Also, this painting of Mr. Rees, do you think... it's counterfeit?"
In the meantime, Vincent and Ruben sat on the couch and watched everything happened as if it was a show.
Clearly, it piqued Ruben's interest. Never did he expect that Elaine would turn out to be a professional.
As Vincent stared at her pretty face, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Although his gaze was fixated on her, he couldn't hear what their conversation was about. All he had in mind was just that Elaine was an interesting young lady.
