Chapter 181
Rosalind continued, “If she really wanted this painting, why didn’t she continue the bid? She didn’t actually want it. She just wanted to trick me!”
Everyone’s eyes became complicated.
“Did Ms. Brown secretly plot against Ms. Gold because she was unwilling to get a divorce with Mr. Salvador?”
“I don’t think so. They’re already divorced. What’s the point of doing this? It’ll just make her seem petty.”
“It’s not pointless. That’s Mr. Salvador we’re talking about. He’s perfect! It’ll be hard to get
over him.”
“She looks so elegant, but she’s such a scheming woman. She’s wasting her smarts on a man. What a pity!”
The constant criticism about Anna made Rosalind happy.
“Ms. Brown, did you really do this?” Gregory frowned and looked at Bella seriously.
Nigel looked at Bella, also waiting for her answer.
“Ms. Gold, you really misunderstood me.”
Bella took a step forward. Her beautiful face was now aggrieved and pitiful. “I was the first to bid on this painting. You were the one who followed my bid. I really liked this painting, and I wanted to contribute to charity, so I raised the bid from the beginning, hoping to get it. Mr. Salvador and Mr. Hoffman were also present at the time to testify for me.”
Everyone thought, ‘Look at this reversal!’
“You…!” Rosalind was so furious that she did not know what to say at the moment.
“I can testify for her!”
Ryan stood up immediately to show his presence in front of his crush. “Ms. Brown was the one who made the first bid, and Ms. Gold followed it. This painting should have been Ms. Brown’s.”.
Justin’s eyes were deep and cold as he glared at Ryan. ‘This bastard is everywhere!’
“My original intention was to take this painting for my own collection because I really like the original piece in Grandpa’s study. So even if it is a replica, I wanted it. After all, this painting reminds me of the days I spent with Grandpa.”
Bella pursed her lips and lowered her long eyelashes helplessly. “But Ms. Gold looked like she wanted this painting at that time, so I withdrew from the bid after competing for several rounds. This is basic bidding etiquette, so I don’t understand how I’m at fault. Ms. Gold, the way you questioned me really hurt my heart. If you feel like you’ve spent unnecessary money, I can buy this painting from you to make up for your loss.”
Look how the tables turnéd!
Bella’s eyes were clear and watery. Her superb acting skills made it look even more convincing!
Justin tilted his head slightly and let out a cold breath as he fixed his gaze on her.
He just watched silently as she continued acting.
“You… That’s nonsense!”
