Chapter 1034


    President Charles always wore a gentle smile, "By a lucky chance, t also possess a piece of art by


    Labe, personally gifted to me."


    At that revtion, everyone was left dumbfounded.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Even Mya was taken aback. Could it be that the esteemed elder that Labe gifted the painting to was


    President Charles?


    That was turning into quite a spectacle.


    “Labe and I have been acquainted for years. I can recognize her brushwork." President Charles


    turned his gaze to Lynn, "The original piece is with me. The one you have is definitely a counterfeit."


    Lynn was utterly bbergasted. Nothing could be more humiliating than being publicly called out by the


    college president.


    But how could it be fake? The painting was sold to her mother by Auntie Elvira.


    Auntie Elvira had charged her mother fifty thousand dors!


    Lynn''s friends were equally shocked. Could it be that Director Elvira had sold a counterfeit to Lynn''s


    mother? Asking fifty thousand dors right off the bat?


    That''s outrageous.


    Whoever befriends someone like that was just asking for trouble.


    “No, it can''t be." Lynn shook her head in disbelief.


    Her family owns several other paintings by Labe, two of which were sold by Auntie Elvira.


    If Auntie Elvira did sell them counterfeits, how much money would her family lose?


    But why? Auntie Elvira and her mother have been best friends for years. Why would she do something


    like that?


    “I heard you bumped into Be and refused to apologize?"


    President Charles''s words left Lynn in a difficult position, “That''s not how it happened."


    “Don''t even try to say Be bumped into you first. There are cameras everywhere. Would you dare to


    lie in front of your president?"


    Mya''s words further deepened Lynn''s humiliation.


    “If you bump into someone, you should apologize. Is that not what Summerfield College teaching you?"


    President Charles''s tone held a hint of pressure.


    Lynn had no choice but to mumble, "I''m sorry"


    "I didn''t hear you, speak up.’ Mya deliberately said. "You were very loud when you were boasting about


    owning Labe''s artwork, weren''t you?"


    Although Lynn was angry, she couldn''t find any words to retaliate.


    "In front of your president, you can''t even sincerely apologize. I wonder why Summerfield College


    would allow a student like you?" Mya deliberately stirred the pot.


    Lynn bit her lip and finally approached Be, "I''m sorry for bumping into you earlier. Please forgive me:


    Be looked at her coldly, showing no signs of forgiving her.


    If it weren''t for Grandpa Charles being here, Lynn would never apologize!


    “Let''s go, Lynn"


    “You should call your mom and ask if Director Elvira sold you a fake painting.


    If she did, your mom should confront her."


    “Yeah, give your mom a call. If necessary, get it appraised by a professional.


    The girls offered Lynn a way out.


    Lynn looked at President Charles, "Then, President Charles, I''ll be leaving now: With that, she was


    swiftly escorted away by her friends.


    Be didn''t bother pursuing her mistake.


    "Being envied is an inevitable consequence of having something valuable.


    It''s no doubt true in your case." President Charlesughed heartily, looking at Be with affection, "How


    about, do you have time toe over for a cup of tea.


    "I have to lead the team back."


    Listening to their conversation, Mya waspletely stunned. It seemed that President Charles and


    Be knew each other, and their rtionship seemed quite deep.


    Be was really amazing. She had so many hidden talents and seemed to know many important


    people, but she never showed off.


    Unlike that Lynn was so ignorant and superficial.
