The Divorcee Who Shines novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Losing Face

Misunderstanding?!

Holly was about to explode with anger! With a hot head, she took a step forward and approached Mrs. Cather, pointing to the displayed artwork on the wall. "Mrs. Cather, I know this painting. It's by Master Andrew..." Before Holly could finish her sentence, she noticed everyone staring at her.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Holly's heart raced as Ranita gave her a sly smile, making her feel uneasy.

"Holly!" Brendon frowned and gave her an icy glare. "Just accompany Miss Anna and don't interrupt."

"I..." Holly felt embarrassed being scolded in front of everyone and glared back at Brendon. "Why are you so harsh?"

Brendon ignored her and turned to Mrs. Cather and the other guests with a stiff posture. "Sorry for my sister's behavior; she doesn't know any better."

"I..." Holly seethed with anger as Brendon humiliated her in public again! She knew these things too; they were taught in school! Was it just Ranita who understood? Just because she spoke another language fluently?

"Shut up! Don't say another word!" Brendon warned before giving Ranita a look.

Ranita had no choice but to explain slowly, "This painting called 'Still Life With A Green Box' is from Italian still-life master Morandi..."

As Ranita continued talking, Holly felt like exploding inside as she held back tears of frustration.

She got the the name wrong... she lost face!

Ah ah ah! Inwardly screaming with rage, especially when she looked up only to see everyone gathering around Ranita while ignoring poor little clown-like herself!

Holly's heart was about to burst!
