Courtney’s voice chimed with a mocking sweetness.


    “Of course.novelbin


    Madisyn is truly clever.


    It’s not every day that ordinary people can find such a beautiful painting at a stall.


    ”


    “A painting is either genuine or fake.


    Where it’s purchased doesn’t change that,” Madisyn replied evenly.


    “You could buy a painting from a store, but that doesn’t guarantee it’s authentic.


    And just because a paintinges from a stall, it doesn’t mean it’s fake.


    The key is the buyer’s knowledge.


    Without careful consideration, someone could end up spending a fortune on a forgery.


    ”


    Courtney easily picked up on Madisyn’s mockery.


    She found Madisyn utterly absurd.


    “Are you seriously suggesting that my eight-million-dor painting is a fake while the one you got for a few bucks is genuine?”


    “Exactly,” Madisyn replied with confidence.


    “Haha.


    ” Sarai couldn’t stifle herughter.


    Once she stoppedughing, she quickly exined, “It’s fine to say such things at home, Madisyn, but you shouldn’t tell others that.


    ”


    She then turned to Damari, adding, “Mr.


    Klein, Madisyn has just recentlye back home.


    She’s not well-versed in recognizing good stuff, so please don’t take her words too seriously.


    ”


    Sarai feigned kindness, but her real intent was to make everyone see Madisyn as naive and ignorant.


    ine was visibly displeased, but Madisyn gently took her hand and shook her head.


    Then she turned to Sarai and said, “Sarai, I understand that you’re the only one here who isn’t familiar with paintings, and I don’t hold that against you.


    But whether this painting is real or fake isn’t something you can determine with just a few words.


    ”


    “So, you’re convinced that the painting you got from a stall is real?”


    Sarai found this notionughable.


    “Yes.


    ” Madisyn’s tone was unwavering.


    Bruno and his wife were left speechless.


    “Well, Dad, since Madisyn is so sure, why don’t we call in Stan? He’s an expert in these matters.


    He’ll definitely know if it’s real or not,” Bruno suggested right away.


    Madisyn nced at him, and suddenly it made sense to her why Corbett enjoyed interfering with others’ matters so much-it clearly ran in the family.


    Damari’s tone turned cold.


    “Whether it’s authentic or not, the intention behind it is what matters.


    ”


    He then looked at Madisyn and added, “I really like your gift, Madisyn.


    ”


    Madisyn felt touched.


    She hadn’t expected that Damari would stand up for her this way.


    .


    However, Bruno was upset.


    Did Damari say that because Madisyn was Andrew’s fiancee?


    “Dad, I believe Madisyn is telling the truth.


    We need to prove her im to clear her name.


    ” Bruno pressed on.


    “If we don’t have Stan verify it, the others might be Left assuming Madisyn bought a fake.


    Isn’t that right, Sarai?”


    Suddenly brought into the conversation, Si nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, that’s true.


    ”
