The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 214

Ian Carter and Old Master Carter both felt a little strange about Nicole's sudden departure.

Nicole had never been so impolite before.

Under Old Master Carter’s probing eyes, Gillian finally could not hold back and told them everything, that the painting was a fake and about Chloe's fondness for Ian.

When Old Master Carter heard this, he was fuming.

His daughter-in-law, Gillian, had always been well-behaved and never caused trouble. Thus, he was satisfied with her.

He did not expect that Gillian would make such a mess of things.

How could he not be angry?

Old Master Carter asked experts in the industry to find a photo of "The Blazing Sun" that was exhibited i n the World Museum, then showed it to Gillian.

This painting was Mr. Wilhelm's creation at the peak o f his career.

Every inch of this artwork meticulously brought out the beauty and grandeur of the full painting.

Therefore, after some deliberation, Mr. Wilhelm decided not to add his signature to this painting.

Thus, "The Blazing Sun” became his only creation without his signature.

As a result, this was his most valuable piece of work.

Upon learning this, Gillian's face went pale.

She thought about how she had humiliated Nicole earlier. 'What a stupid mistake!'

"But... Chloe Snyder..." Gillian hesitated and thought that Chloe must have meant well.

Old Master Carter was a shrewd man. He snorted coldly and said, "She became the Head of the Snyder family before she was eighteen years old. You'll never be able to imagine what she’s capable of. Not to mention, Ian doesn't like her. Even if he does and they get married, it's uncertain whether our company will eventually be bought over by Snyder Corporation.”

The moment these words came out, Gillian's face instantly turned glum.

How could such a strong and capable woman look up t o her as a mother-in-law when Gillian was merely a mediocre high-society housewife?

Gillian almost overlooked this detail about just how difficult their future would be if Ian were to marry Chloe.

"Dad, I..." Gillian’s face was miserably pale. If she had known earlier, she would not have said those harsh words to Nicole.

"In the future, you just need to stay away from Chloe

Snyder. Any cooperation regarding our companies will naturally be handled by Ian and his father, so what are you worrying about?"

Old Master Carter rebuked Gillian. "Also, you'd better find an opportunity to apologize to the Stantons.

Whether it’s West City or Atlanta, Stanton Corporation is the partner we can't afford to lose!"

Stanton Corporation.

Nicole had just finished a meeting when she received a call from Kai.

"The Carters sent you a lot of gifts... Weird, huh?”

"Ian?" Nicole asked in surprise. 'He usually just sends them to my office...’

"No, it's from Mrs. Carter."
