Chapter 537 Patricia Helped Paige to Retort

Patricia, at the side, was thinking, “Please stop praising her! At this moment, Ms. Ezequiel is right in front of your eyes! If she finds out that everyone is praising her, she will be triumphant!”

At this time, Paige took out her mobile phone and was about to deal with private matters.

Unexpectedly, Deborah had a sense of superiority, and suddenly made a gesture of silence to the people around her, then raised her eyes, and looked at Paige arrogantly.

’As the No. 1 scholar, you must be well-informed, knowledgeable, and excel in some aspects. Why don’t you have a look at this work and tell us what’s so good about it?”

If No. 1 scholar came from a very good family, and had been acquainted with art since she was a child, yet she could not tell who had made the work, or what was so good about it, it would show that she had poor eyesight and little knowledge.

But if she had not been born into a rich family, whatever she had achieved, she was not as good as young ladies like them…

So, from whatever quarter, as long as Paige answered the question, she would be either ridiculed for her lack of knowledge, or for her birth…

Paige raised her eyes and found a group of people who were going to watch her making a prat of herself.

She looked again at Deborah’s cell phone, which contained a painting of mountains and rivers that should have been the work they said she had bought for four million dollars.

Her eyes were a little colder, “In my opinion, even a primary school student can do better.”

This sentence stunned everyone, even Deborah was stunned for a few seconds.

How dared this bumpkin say that even a primary school student could do better than Ms. Ezequiel?

It seemed that she was not only from a poor background, but also had no taste!!

’I see. You only know how to study, but you don’t know how to appreciate the value of this painting.” Deborah came back to her senses, raised a superior smile, and said, “This is the new work of the current painting master, Ms. Ezequiel.”

‘Exactly! At the auction two days ago, this new work was bought by the Jennings family at a price of four million.”

‘I don’t blame you for not knowing how to appreciate famous paintings, but you actually said that even a primary school student could do better. You not only insulted the saint of painting, but also insulted all the fans of her!”

‘Apologize to the painting saint!”

Paige smiled, looking at the people in front of her as if she was looking at a group of dumbass.

“Last year, the Lusk family bought Ms. Ezequiel’s work at a price of 15 million. This year, the Stowe family bought Ms. Ezequiel’s birthday picture at a price of 15 million. Now, you said you bought Ms. Ezequiel’s real work for four million?”

‘What’s impossible? The Stowe family and the Lusk family have a lot of money and are willing to spend more money. We Jennings family knows Ms. Ezequiel well, so what’s wrong with her giving us a discount?” Deborah felt a little guilty when she said this.

Anyway, Paige didn’t know about the relationship between them, and there was no evidence to prove that she was lying, so even she said so, Paige could do nothing about it.

Paige felt even more amused, “You said you know Ms. Ezequiel? How old is she?”

“An old lady!” Deborah said confidently, “I have seen her many times. She looks very elegant, very bookish, and looks very artistic.”

Paige couldn’t help laughing, “Ms. Ezequiel is still young and beautiful, and she never gives discounts to anyone.”

“How do you know? It sounds like you know Ms. Ezequiel?” Deborah insisted, “Ms. Ezequiel has been in contact with our family for many years. I have seen her many times. As for you, there are certainly no paintings of Ms. Ezequiel in your house. That’s why you don’t know who made the picture of mountains and rivers just now.”

“Ms. Ezequiel has never drawn a picture of mountains and rivers.” Paige said casually, “That one of yours is fake.”

“Fake??”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

The people at University of Illinois at Chicago couldn’t believe it. How could No. 1 scholar be sure that the picture of mountains and rivers was fake…

On the other hand, Deborah was furious. She wanted Paige to show evidence, but she saw Patricia winking at her desperately.

Oh right, Patricia!!

“Patricia, tell me.”

Deborah didn’t get Patricia’s meaning, and she even called her out, “You are well-informed. Tell me. Is Ms. Ezequiel old or young? Also, does she make this picture of mountains and rivers or not?”

When Patricia was called, she stood up very depressed. She looked at Paige. In front of so many people, she really had no guts to greet her.

Fortunately, Paige didn’t take her seriously. She seemed indifferent.

‘Ms. Ezequiel is… a young lady,” Patricia said this bravely, and even glanced at Paige.

If she lied, Paige would definitely show the evidence right on the spot.

A long time ago, when Wilfred and Caroline visited the Lusk’s house, they had personally said that Paige was no other than the painting master, Ms. Ezequiel, and the calligrapher, Perl. If she lied, it would soon be a slap in her face.

Rather than embarrassing her, it was better for her friend Deborah to suffer. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

‘Ms. Ezequiel is a young lady? Is it the same as what the No. 1 scholar said?”

’So, Deborah is lying?”

‘You mean, Deborah was just bluffing?”

Weren’t Deborah and Patricia good friends? Why did Patricia go against her in person…

Everyone was talking.

Deborah obviously couldn’t believe that Patricia would embarrass her in front of so many people…

She thought they were friends!

’Patricia, did your family spend 15 million to buy Ms. Ezequiel’s work a year ago?” At this time, someone remembered this again and hurriedly asked Patricia for confirmation.

Patricia changed the subject as she wished, “Yes, our family did buy Ms. Ezequiel’s painting for 15 million a year ago.”

“Patricia, your family is so rich. You can spend 15 million on a painting as soon as you want… The Stowes can afford 15 million as well as you. No wonder you can get in-laws.”

’That’s right…”

The crowd began to flatter again.

’…” Patricia felt a little guilty. She was afraid that Paige would reveal her identity as a fake lady in public, and she was even more afraid that Paige would say that she was not Martin’s fiancee, so she took the first step, ‘Okay, the competition is about to start. Everyone just focuses on the competition.”

“Patricia, since your family has bought Ms. Ezequiel’s works, tell me, Ms. Ezequiel really doesn’t give discounts to anyone?” Someone kept asking.

Patricia glanced at Paige again, and had to admit, “Just like she said.”

Everyone didn’t expect that No. 1 scholar had more knowledge than Deborah, and was in the same class as Patricia. Deborah, on the contrary, was a little pitiful and sympathetic.

Deborah could not understand why Patricia did not help her, and Patricia could only murmur an excuse.

And the people from University of Illinois at Chicago looked at Paige with admiration.

No. 1 scholar was amazing.

It was so easy for her to slap people from University of Chicago in the face!

’Paige, you are amazing!”

No wonder Mr. Cobb personally named her to lead the team. She proved capable and strong.
