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 becameplicated.
“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 Be seriously.
Nigel looked at Be, also waiting for her answer.
“Ms. Gold, you really misunderstood me.”
Be 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 red 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.”
Be pursed her lips and lowered her long eyshes helplessly. “But Ms. Gold looked like she wanted
this painting at that time, so I withdrew from the bid afterpeting 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!
Be’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!”
Rosalind’s face was red from embarrassment. Just as she was about to explode in anger, Shannon
hurriedly walked over and pinched her secretly. Rosalind felt the pain and immediately returned to her
senses. She almost exposed her true colors in public.
“Haha… It’s all a misunderstanding. Dad, Rose doesn’te out often and rarely participates in such
asions. She just buys what others buy. What matters is her intention to buy a gift for you.”
Shannon raised her eyebrows and looked at Rosalind. “Your mother just called, saying that there’s
something urgent at home. Please call her back soon. Don’t make her anxious. Go on!”
Rosalind gritted her teeth and retreated dejectedly.
Nigel frowned for a moment. He held Be’s hand and said, “Anna, if you liked the painting in my study,
you should’ve just told me. I’ll give it to you. So what if it’s an original Renaissance painting? Even if
you want the Statue of David, Grandpa will find a way to get it for you! Grandpa will never be stingy
with you, my dear.”
“Thank you, Grandpa. Your love is more than enough. I don’t need anything else.” Be squeezed
Nigel’s hand and smiled sweetly.
This time, everyone finally understood.
Justin had already divorced Anna, but it looked like they had notpletely cut off ties. Rosalind was
definitely out of luck!
