?Chapter 344:
Kalel stared at Marissa with malice, barely controlling his anger. He was infuriated that Marissa had dismissed Only’s Birds Pay Homage as a casual sketch, suggested that Only was practically a personal artist for the Sanchez family, and now dared to mimic Only’s work right before him, attempting to pass off a counterfeit as genuine!
Witnessing his father’s fury, Remy quickly came to his side, asserting, “Father, calm down. Allow me to handle this insolent girl on your behalf.”
“Okay!” Kalel clenched his teeth. “Remy, teach this girl, who disrespects my master, a stern lesson!”
Remy nodded and gestured for Dunbar to take action against Marissa. Just then, Landen positioned himself in front of Marissa. He had a revtion: Marissa’s daring statements andposed demeanor while painting led him to realize—she was Only!
This realization astounded him, yet he was fully convinced. After all, his boss was known for defying expectations!

Caught between shock and excitement, and seeing Remy signal Dunbar, he promptly blocked Marissa, his stance deterring Dunbar enough to make him hesitate.
Remy narrowed his eyes and said, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“I’m making sure no pests bother my boss!” Landen confidently raised his chin. “Remy, I’d keep a cool head if I were you. It won’t be nice losing your faceter.”
Remy was so livid he gritted his teeth. “Fine. If you’re eager to shield that audacious girl, I’ll grant your wish!”
With that, he signaled Dunbar. “Teach this young upstart a lesson first.”
“Yes!” Dunbar promptlyplied.
As tensions rose and a fight seemed imminent, the crowd backed away, not wanting to be caught in the middle. The Nash family looked on anxiously, concerned that Landen might be injured. But Landen just scoffed and readied himself, unafraid of the local toughs after surviving life-or-death situations with his boss.
Just as the confrontation was about to escte, Marissa calmly announced, “The painting is finished.”
Her statement captured everyone’s attention, pausing the conflict. Marissa set down her brush and gestured to the painting on the table, smiling. “Here is Only’stest casual piece for your enjoyment.”
Despite still seeing her as a presumptuous madwoman, the crowd converged to view the painting. Kalel and Jacob also moved closer to the table to inspect it.
As they looked over the freshlypleted ink painting, Jacob’s eyes brightened, and Kalel’s eyes opened wide in surprise.
The painting was breathtaking! It portrayed a simple white orchid but captured its essence so vividly and gracefully, conveying deep beauty and an expansive ambiance. It was unmistakably the style of a master.
A master earns their title by conveying profound meanings with minimal strokes, a feat beyond the reach of the average artist. For Tiffany to create such a high-quality painting so quickly, her talent must be exceptional. Additionally, the style and technique bore a striking resemnce to Only’s!
Jacob’s pulse quickened as he pulled out his magnifying ss to inspect the painting more closely. Kalel observed him closely, anticipating his evaluation. Noticing the sudden seriousness of Only’s dedicated admirers, the crowd too became quiet, all eyes fixed on Jacob, awaiting his decisive judgment.
Jacob’s face disyed increasing astonishment, to the point where his astonishment started to feel somewhat terrifying. After thoroughly analyzing the painting once, he seemed unable to believe the result and carefully went over it again from start to finish with his magnifying ss.
The crowd’s mood shifted in sync with his meticulous scrutiny. When he finally set aside the magnifying ss and looked up, the crowd’s anticipation hit its highest point. Everyone awaited Jacob’s verdict. But as he raised his head, he gazed at Marissa, his lips quivering with excitement, struggling to find the words
