Rosalind continued, “If she really wanted this painting, why didn’t she continue the bid? She didn’tactually want it. She just wanted to trick me!”

Everyone’s eyes became complicated.

“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 seempetty.”

“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 apity!”

The constant criticism about Anna made Rosalind happy.

“Ms. Brown, did you really do this?” Gregory frowned and looked at Bella seriously.

Nigel looked at Bella, also waiting for her answer.

“Ms. Gold, you really misunderstood me.”

Bella took a step forward. Her beautiful face was now aggrieved and pitiful. “I was the first to bid on thispainting. 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 werealso 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 whomade 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 glared at Ryan. ‘This bastard is everywhere!’

“My original intention was to take this painting for my own collection because I really like the originalpiece in Grandpa’s study. So even if it is a replica, I wanted it. After all, this painting reminds me of thedays I spent with Grandpa.”

Bella pursed her lips and lowered her long eyelashes helplessly. “But Ms. Gold looked like she wantedthis painting at that time, so I withdrew from the bid after competing for several rounds. This is basicbidding etiquette, so I don’t understand how I’m at fault. Ms. Gold, the way you questioned me reallyhurt my heart. If you feel like you’ve spent unnecessary money, I can buy this painting from you tomake up for your loss.”

Look how the tables turnéd!

Bella’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, Shannonhurriedly walked over and pinched her secretly. Rosalind felt the pain and immediately returned to hersenses. She almost exposed her true colors in public.

“Haha… It’s all a misunderstanding. Dad, Rose doesn’t come out often and rarely participates in suchoccasions. 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’ssomething 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 Bella’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 ifyou want the Statue of David, Grandpa will replace a way to get it for you! Grandpa will never be stingywith you, my dear.”

“Thank you, Grandpa. Your love is more than enough. I don’t need anything else.” Bella squeezedNigel’s hand and smiled sweetly.

This time, everyone finally understood.

Justin had already divorced Anna, but it looked like they had not completely cut off ties. Rosalind wasdefinitely out of luck!
