On the way back, Courtney was crying the entire time.

Rowan was frustrated.

“Enough! Stop crying.

Sarai, feeling pity for Courtney, said, “She’s already so upset.

Is that how you act as her father? Why are you speaking to her Like this?”

“She should have realized she’s not the best,” Rowan retorted sharply.

“If she had, today’s embarrassment wouldn’t have happened.

Sarai’s eyes widened in disbelief and she said, “Rowan, are you serious? Your brother and his family kept the truth from us on purpose because they wanted to see us embarrassed.

Don’t you see that?”

“Glenn wouldn’t do something like that,” Rowan said.

“If he had no such intentions, things wouldn’t have unfolded like this today.

Did you change your stance just because you knew he bought your paintings?” Sarai said sarcastically.

“You’re too soft- hearted, and that’s why you’ll never outdo Glenn.

Sarai’s words struck Rowan deeply.

Just then, they arrived home.

Rowan opened the door, stepped out, and walked away without a word.

Courtney looked up, tears streaming down her face.

Sarai embraced her, whispering, “Baby, don’t cry.

Hutton doesn’t matter.

Let him go.

Did you see Andrew today? If you marry him, Hutton will become even more irrelevant.

“But, Madisyn is close to Andrew.

” Courtney felt utterly hopeless.

She had never imagined being overshadowed by someone she had once looked down on.

The pain was intense.

“So what? Andrew might have come to the banquet because of your uncle, not because of Madisyn,” Sarai said softly.

“You’re not like those country girls like Madisyn.

You’ve had a top-notch education since you were a child.

How could Andrew not be attracted to you?”

Sarai’s encouragement restored Courtney’s confidence.

Just then, Courtney’s phone rang.

“Courtney, congratulations!” Tatiana said excitedly.

“Is the banquet over? Congratulations on becoming Hutton’s student.

To be so accomplished at your age, you genuinely make me jealous!”

Courtney clenched her teeth and said, “I’m not Hutton’s student.

Tatiana was taken aback and replied, “If not you, then who?”

“It’s Madisyn.

” Courtney’s voice was heavy with frustration as she mentioned Madisyn.

Tatiana gasped in disbelief and responded, “How is that possible? Her?”

Could Madisyn even draw?

Yet, Courtney’s silence confirmed the shocking truth for Tatiana.
