Courtney’s smile faltered, and her eyes grew cold.


    She felt justified in her resentment toward Madisyn and her parents.


    Their presence had immediately drawn Damari’s attention away.


    Did Madisyn and her parents have the nerve to im it wasn’t intentional?


    Their behavior was utterly disgraceful.


    Just then, Bruno Klein, Andrew’s uncle, arrived with his wife Dora Klein.


    “Damari, who are these people…” Dora began as she noticed the crowd in the living room.


    Her eyes quickly found Madisyn, who stood out with her stunning beauty.


    “They’re from the Johns family.


    This here is Rowan Johns,” Damari said.


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    Dora and Bruno recognized Glenn but weren’t acquainted with Rowan.


    Hearing the quick introduction, they simply nodded in acknowledgment.


    With Little work to upy their time, they often visited Damari.


    With more people around, Courtney thought of an idea.


    “Mr.


    Klein, since this is my first visit, I brought a gift for you,”


    Courtney said with a warm smile as she presented the painting she bought.


    The moment the painting was revealed, it caught everyone’s eye.


    “Is this a piece by Atley?” Bruno asked right away.


    “Yes,” Courtney replied, surprised by Bruno’s knowledge.


    She smiled and continued, “Atley’s works are extremely rare.


    This painting was particrly hard toe by.


    ”


    “It’s fantastic Bruno said, clearly admiring the painting.


    He turned to Damari and added, “Dad, Miss Johns must have put a lot of efforts into getting this gift for you.


    Knowing your love for antiques, she bought thisndscape painting by Atley specifically for you.


    ”


    As Bruno spoke, he nced at Glenn, thinking of the marriage agreement between their two families.


    If Glenn’s daughter married Andrew, it would put Bruno at a disadvantage.


    Consequently, Bruno was determined to sabotage the marriage agreement and chose to heap praise on Courtney instead.


    Courtney, feeling a bit embarrassed, blushed slightly.


    Damari epted the painting and examined it with a neutral expression, giving a slight nod.novelbin


    “This painting must be quite pricey, isn’t it?” Dora remarked.


    “Yes, it cost eight million dors,” Courtney replied quietly.


    Even the Klein couple were taken aback by the high price.


    An eight- million-dor painting was indeed expensive.


    Damari looked at Courtney and said, “Thank you for the gift!”
