Chapter 1000
Serena, sitting to one side, pleaded, "Please stop praising her! If Mirabelle realizes everyone is
At this moment, Arabe pulled out her phone, preparing to take care of some personal affairs.
Unexpectedly, Nancy, feeling superior, suddenly hushed everyone around her, then lifted her eyes
arrogantly towards Arabe.
“With your perfect academic record and broad knowledge, surely you have some unique insights. Why
not give your opinion on this art piece and tell us what''s so special about it?"
If someone with a perfect academic record came from a privileged family, then not being able to
recognize the artist or style of this art piece or not knowing what made it special just showed ack of
exposure and knowledge.
If she came from humble beginnings, no matter how great her academic achievements were, she still
cannotpare to them, the privileged daughters of wealthy families.
So, regardless of how Arabe responded to this question, she will either be mocked for herck of
knowledge or her humble background.
Arabe lifted her gaze to find a group of people ready tough at her.
She then looked at Nancy''s phone, which disyed andscape painting, presumably the one they
said was purchased for three million dors.
Her eyes went cold, "To me, it''s no better than a child’s scribbles."
Everyone was stunned by her words, and even Nancy was taken aback for a few seconds.
This naive girl dared toment that the masterpiece of the revered Mirabelle was no better than a
child''s scribbles!
It seemed not only did shee from a humble background, but she alsocked any sense of art
appreciation!!
“Seems like the top schr only knows how to study, unable to appreciate the value of this painting.”
Nancy recovered, raising her superior smile, chuckling, “This is a new piece by the renowned artist
Mirabelle"
“Indeed! It was just auctioned off two days ago at an auction by the Austin family for three million
dors."
“We don''t me you for not being able to appreciate fine art, but you dare to say that Mirabelle’s talent
is no better than a child''s. You are not only insulting Mirabelle but also all of her fans!"
“Apologize to Mirabelle!"
Arabe smirked, looking at the girls in front of her like they were fools.
“Last year, the Collins family bought a piece by Mirabelle for ten million dors. This year, the MeMillian
family bought another one for ten million dors. Now, you''re saying your family bought a genuine
Mirabelle for just three million dors?"
“What''s so impossible about that? The Collins and McMillian families are notorious for their
extravagance and willing to overspend. We, the Austin family, are close with Mirabelle. What’s wrong
with her giving us a discount?"
Nancy said, sounding a bit defensive.
After all, Arabe didn’t know about the rtionship between the Austin family and Mirabelle and had
no evidence to prove her lying. So, she continued her bluff. What could Arabe do?
Arabe found it even more amusing, “You say you know Mirabelle? Is she male or female?"
“A man! An old gentleman!” Nancy dered confidently, “I''ve met him many times. He''s very refined
and schrly, with a strong artistic vibe"
Arabe could not help but chuckle, “Mirabelle is a woman and not very old.

Moreover, she never gives anyone discounts."
“How would you know? Are you iming to know Mirabelle personally?"
Nancy insisted, “Mirabelle has had a long-standing rtionship with our family. I''ve met him many
times. On the other hand, your family certainly doesn''t have any of Mirabelle''s artwork, which is why
you don''t recognize thendscape painting."
“Mirabelle has never painted andscape.” Arabe said nonchntly, “Yours is a fake"
“A fake?"
At this, everyone was stunned.
The folks at Westerly College couldn''t believe how confident Arabe was in dering thendscape
painting a fake.
And Nancy, she was absolutely livid. Just as she was about to demand proof from Arabe, she
noticed Serena frantically signaling her.
