Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 779

"He even borrowed money from me to buy it." Then, the corners of Vincent's mouth curled up. "If Morgan were to find out that it's fake, he would definitely be very sad."

Immediately, Elaine grabbed his arm and lowered her voice. "Dr. Perkins, don't tell him that the painting is fake. Otherwise, he will be very upset."

As he cast a glance at the tiny hand on his arm, his gaze deepened. "But it's not good to keep hiding the truth from him too."

For a moment, Elaine was silent. What Vincent said made sense too. If she were to figure out that something she loved had always been fake, she would definitely be so disappointed.

But if she were to tell Morgan now, it would be a blow to him, and she could not bear to see it happen.

However, Vincent loved to see how she was in a dilemma. "Well, it's all up to you whether to tell or not to tell."

Confused, Elaine shook her head. "I don't know..."

Meanwhile, Vincent was completely different from his usual self. "You must decide whether to tell or not to tell."

At that moment, she felt that Dr. Perkins was forcing her because no matter what her decision was, Morgan would still be unhappy.

Suddenly, Vincent remembered that she had helped the servant to bear the responsibility for the sake of friendship, and his expression became serious. With a sharp gaze, he lifted her chin and looked her straight in the eye. "Just now, why did you take the blame for someone else when it wasn't even you who broke the painting?"

Slightly stunned, she said, "Are you... talking about the matter where I took responsibility for the servant's mistake?"

"Yes."

"She was so scared that she almost cried, and I was worried, so I wanted to plead for her."

Was Dr. Perkins upset about it? But why would he be unhappy?

With a sneer, Vincent uttered, "So this is how you have always been at home? Whenever your brother and sister made a mistake, you'll take the blame just to protect themeven if you didn't do anything wrong?"

Then, Elaine pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

"You were not the one who caused the injury on your head, right? In fact, it was your brother who did it." In fact, it wasn't even a guess, and Vincent was certain about it.

Sometimes, she felt that the way Dr. Perkins looked at things was too sinister.

Immediately, Elaine avoided his gaze and looked down. "It's all in the past. I don't want to talk about it anymore."

As Vincent retracted his hand, a hint of malice flashed across his eyes.

At that moment, Morgan's voice came from upstairs. "Lunch should be ready by now. Why are you and Miss Jacob still standing here? Hurry and go have lunch."

Just as Elaine was about to leave, Vincent's voice sounded from the top of her head, "Morgan, the painting of Master Black that you've bought was also a fake."

Without warning, his words were a total shock to Elaine's ears.

Did he actually betray her just like that?

Both angry and annoyed, Elaine wondered what kind of person was he? How could he just sell his teammates out like that?

Angrily, she glared at Dr. Perkins.

With a snort, Vincent turned around and left.

When Elaine saw that, she was speechless.

If she was not mistaken, the expression on Dr. Perkins's face just now was obviously saying, "Since you like to take responsibility so much, then you should continue to bear the responsibility."

Did it mean that Dr. Perkins was angry at her for always helping others to bear the responsibility?

In the meantime, Morgan, who had just headed downstairs, frowned deeply and said, "That's impossible!"

Although he said so, his eyes were staring at Elaine. Obviously, he wanted to hear her tell him that it was not true.
